22What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 15, 11:41 AM CDT, 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 11:41 AM CDT, 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 1141 AM CDT Thu Jun 15 2023 ...New MESOSCALE UPDATE... .MESOSCALE UPDATE... Issued at 1008 AM CDT Thu Jun 15 2023 Storms are continuing to train along the Interstate 20 corridor this morning, keeping our flash flood threat active. Sufficient moisture, lapse rates, and instability will help these storms maintain throughout the day. These storms will start to rapidly shift southeastward, giving areas south of I-20 greater chances for severe this morning through the afternoon. Large hail, damaging winds, and localized heavy downpours will be the main threats for today. A severe thunderstorm watch will be in effect for counties south of I-20 until 5pm CDT. /LCP/ && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 300 AM CDT Thu Jun 15 2023 Today and Tonight...Early morning across the Deep South sees continued convection occuring along an instability gradient and low-level convergence zone stretched from southern Arkansas southeast toward southern Alabama. A shortwave trough across the Mid-South has been providing ample shear and lift to sustain rounds of convection along this axis, with guidance pointing to a southward and eastward shift to the focus heading into the daytime today and by this evening as the shortwave kicks eastward. Shortwave ridging farther west and an elevated mixed layer will reinforce a reservoir of hot, conditionally unstable air to our southwest along the TX/LA Gulf Coast, with flow through the lower levels advecting this air into our forecast area today and tonight. Regional 00Z soundings showed 8.5C/km lapse rates atop the EML, and this won't change for the Day 1 period. Forecast soundings show nearly saturated lower levels with moist-adiabatic lapse rates through around 700mb heading into today, and only minimal heating will be needed to trigger additional surface-based storms by mid-morning. Deep-layer wind shear of 50-60 kts will support sustained updrafts and supercell development, and these long lived storms will be capable of producing potentially large hail greater than 2 inches diameter and wind gusts over 70 mph. There is a Slight Risk for severe thunderstorms mainly south of a line from Monticello, AR/Greenville, MS to Meridian, MS for this expected activity today. The Flood Watch will continue into mid- morning today as heavy rain remains a threat, and some storms could train over the same areas. Will let the Flood Watch end after that as the threat for heaviest rain and training thunderstorms shifts east with the shortwave later today, but it's worth noting some locations have received several storms today and soils will have become more saturated in those areas. Isolated flash flooding cannot be ruled out from heavy thunderstorms passing over those areas, even as the threat for more widespread flash flooding eases some. Another MCS is expected to develop from afternoon/evening storms over the Southern High Plains as another shortwave moves over the Rockies, potentially sweeping as far east and southeast as the ArkLaMiss Delta region by late tonight into early Friday morning. An organized MCS such as this would pose a greater risk for widespread damaging wind gusts given the atmospheric conditions in advance of it. We will monitor trends through the day to see how the afternoon's convection develops in the High Plains, but expect updates to timing and impacts for tonight across our area depending on how that organizes today. /NF/ Friday through next Wednesday...This active weather pattern is currently forecast to continue through the majority of the forecast period. Northwest flow aloft will persist across the region during this time. Persistent southerly surface flow across the region will also maintain the very humid and unstable airmass across the forecast area. The above scenario, coupled with steep mid-level lapse rates, and sufficient shear, as multiple disturbances aloft traverse the region in said northwest flow aloft, will continue to result in multiple rounds of scattered to numerous showers and storms dropping southeast into and through the forecast area into at least early next week. As a result, there will be multiple times through the period, in which at a minimum, isolated severe storms will be possible across some portion of the forecast area. A couple of such disturbances forecast to move through the CWA Friday morning and afternoon, will yield the potential for severe storms over much of the area. As a result, a "Slight Risk" of severe storms resides across the CWA Friday. Damaging wind gusts of 60 mph and hail up to the size of golf balls will be possible. Across far southwest Mississippi and east central Louisiana, isolated severe storms capable of producing damaging wind gusts and hail up to the size of quarters possible. Near continuous lightning strikes can be expected with all of Friday's convection, along with heavy downpours. Another round of potentially severe storms could affect the forecast area Saturday. A "Marginal" risk for isolated severe storms exists for the majority of the forecast area. Damaging wind gusts of 60 mph and hail to the size of quarters will be possible with the most intense storms. During the Sunday/Sunday night timeframe, a closed mid/upper level low will drop southeast from the east central plains, through the Mid-South region, and into the Tennessee Valley. This could again result in at least one, possibly two, rounds of potentially severe storms across portions of the region as disturbances aloft associated with it move through the region. Damaging winds of 60 mph and up to quarter size hail could be possible with the most intense storms. Lastly, temperatures will continue to warm throughout the period as ridging aloft increases from the southwest over the weekend. This is especially the case across southwest portions of the CWA where highs top out in the upper 90s to near the century mark Sunday into Monday. These hot temperatures combined with the humid conditions across the region, will result in dangerous heat stress conditions across mainly the southwest half of the CWA through early next week. /19/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 643 AM CDT Thu Jun 15 2023 An IFR/MVFR stratus deck encompasses much of the region this morning as scattered strong TS continue from near BQP to MEI. Patchy light fog is also reducing visbys at a few sites. TS activity will generally shift more south and eastward through the day, with coverage decreasing later in the afternoon. Outside of storms, ceilings and visbys will improve through the mid-morning with VFR conditions returning in most areas. Overnight tonight through early Fri morning another round of SHRA and TS is possible. /DL/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
