CMEWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jan 3, 10:59 AM CST, 19 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 3, 10:59 AM CST, 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 1059 AM CST Tue Jan 3 2023 ...New MESOSCALE UPDATE... .MESOSCALE UPDATE... Issued at 1053 AM CST Tue Jan 3 2023 Showers and thunderstorms are going to be the primary concern for the remainder of the period as the system continues to track east across our forecast region. Giving this ongoing system, we have continued to advertise a "Slight" risk for severe weather across most of the area for today. Areas located around the Pine Belt are currently in a "Enhanced" threat for severe storms. Damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph, large hail up to golf ball size, and a few possible tornadoes are going to be the main concerns with this storms. Along with the threat for severe weather, some of these rain showers could produce locally heavy rainfall at times especially for areas across the Pine Belt. Because of this, we have continued to advertise a "Elevated" threat for flash flooding for this area. The rain has diminished somewhat as the system continues to track to the east. For this reason, we have decided to allow for the Flash Flood watch to expire for most of the Delta this morning. Overcast conditions should help limit afternoon temperatures into the mid to upper 70s. /CRJ/ && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 213 AM CST Tue Jan 3 2023 Today through Tonight: With only relatively minor adjustments needed to the current forecast, the focus today remains on the threat for severe thunderstorms, heavy rain and flash flooding, and gusty gradient winds in advance of severe storms. The Hazardous Weather Outlook text and graphics have been updated based on current conditions and expected evolution of this storm system today. The current environment across the region remains supportive of a severe weather threat. A low pressure system is lifting northeast through the Midwest today, with a broad warm sector extending across the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys. A Pacific cold front crossed the Rocky Mountains yesterday and overtook a dryline in East Texas, where there is a sharp 20 to 30-degree dewpoint difference across this feature early this morning. A narrow line of showers and thunderstorms has continued along it overnight. Across northern LA and southern AR into the central Mississippi River Valley, ascent and instability are supporting thunderstorm clusters and a few bowing line segments. Mesoanalysis fields show adequate wind shear through lower and deeper levels for organized severe thunderstorms in this area, including the potential for tornadoes with favorably aligned bowing segments. This activity should persist near our northwestern zones through about mid-morning, with a round of new development in the warm sector farther south and east during the day. Some discreet supercells will be possible in addition to storm clusters, with all modes of severe weather possible. Short- term guidance is in decent agreement for an axis of training storms to develop around the Pine Belt of southeast MS later this afternoon and evening, so an "Elevated" threat for flash flooding and a Flash Flood Watch were issued for those areas. Training storms could bring 2 to 4 inches or greater of rain over a short period of time. Then thunderstorm potential and accompanying threats for severe weather and flash flooding should decrease from west to east through the evening as the Pacific cold front clears the area. Polar front will catch up late night into tomorrow to bring more noticeably "cooler" air. /NF/ Wednesday through next Monday: The majority of the shower activity will be east and out of East Central and Southeast Mississippi as day breaks on Wednesday. Clouds will likewise follow suit, with clearing and quieter conditions returning areawide through the course of the day. High pressure will continue to build into the forecast area through Thursday night, with quiet and cooler conditions expected to prevail. This same high pressure will shift east and across the forecast area Friday. Flow across the area will quickly become more southerly heading into Saturday. Over the weekend, another shortwave passing by to our north will send another cold front southeast into the CWA Saturday night into Sunday, while eventually stalling across southern portions of the area into Monday. While there won't be much moisture recovery over the CWA, rain chances will increase across the area during this time as pockets of ascent embedded in quasi-zonal flow aloft traverse the region. /19/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 544 AM CST Tue Jan 3 2023 A broad MVFR stratus deck is streaming across the region with southerly winds gusting as high as 30-35 kt at times in some area. A broken line of TSRA extends from near MEM to MLU to LCH. Through the day, these storms will spread/develop eastward across much of the area. Some of the storms may be severe with gusts to 50 kt, tornadoes, and large hail. Outside of the storms, southerly winds will remain gusty at times through the daytime hours. Ceilings will generally increase through the day outside of storms, reaching VFR in many areas. Storms will end from west to east overnight as a cold front slowly moves across the region. Low ceilings will redevelop toward Wed morning in most areas along and east of the MS River, and fog restrictions may develop in parts of south MS toward daybreak. /DL/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
