What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river 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 river flood warning went out at Feb 12, 5:50 AM CST, 4 hours 7 minutes earlier.

National Weather Service Jackson MS
550 AM CST Wed Feb 12 2025

...New AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 409 AM CST Wed Feb 12 2025

Through tonight:

An active 12-18 hours is on tap with potential for flash flooding
and severe weather through the early evening hours. Early this
morning, moderate rain continues to spread across northwestern
portions of the forecast area. Further south, areas which have had
a break over much of the overnight are beginning to see rain and
some thunderstorms increase as the next upper disturbance
approaches the area. Since yesterday, observed 2-3" of rain have
fallen in a corridor from near Monroe LA to Belzoni to Winona to
West Point. Outside of this area, amounts vary greatly with 1-2"
amounts common north of a Natchez to Jackson to De Kalb line. This
has lowered flash flood guidance in many areas, particularly
across the northern half of the area.

Looking ahead through today, convection developing with the
approach of a strong low level jet upstream from Southeast TX into
LA will build into central and southern portions of the forecast
area this morning, setting up our next SW-NE corridors of heavy
rainfall to come. Right now, it appears the higher rain amounts
today may occur just south of where the highest rainfall totals
have been so far. While this would be good news for those areas,
it does not mean areas further south are out of the woods.
Sufficient rain has already fallen in some areas further south
that higher rain rates today could still result in flooding. After
the morning round of heavy rain, another round of storms is
increasingly possible through the afternoon which could also
result in flooding issues. We will maintain the going Flood Watch
and also expand into the Meridian area to align more closely with
where greater rain amounts are anticipated today. If trends
through the morning hours are positive, we might be able to back
off on the Flood Watch in some of our northwestern areas early in
the day.

Turning to the severe threat, we're beginning the day with stable
conditions across essentially the entire area. Thus, convection
moving into the area within the next few hours with our morning
round of storms will be elevated, at least initially. However, as
a warm front lifts northward through the morning hours, it is
possible some of these early day storms could become surface based
as a more unstable airmass advects into the area. Therefore, an
isolated severe threat could exist before these storms move out of
the area by around midday. The evolution of these morning storms
will play a big role in severe potential for this afternoon, when
another round of storms is expected to develop. If morning storms
are so numerous and organized in such a way that stable outflow
holds the unstable air further south, the severe threat will be
more limited - at least geographically - during the afternoon and
evening. However, if the main corridor of storms this morning
tends to focus further north, closer to I-20, this would make it
more likely for the airmass to recover later today over a larger
portion of the area. Uncertainty over how much of the area might
be impacted by the next round of storms aside, the afternoon
storms are more likely to have instability to work with while
shear remains rather strong. These storms also have greater
potential to be discrete, with sufficient low level flow for
damaging wind gusts and sufficient low level turning, especially
along the warm front, for tornadoes to be possible. We also can't
rule out marginally severe hail, particularly with any discrete
storms. The cold front will ultimately begin to make greater
headway through the area beginning around sunset, ending rain
chances and the storm threat from west to east before midnight.
/DL/

Thursday through Tuesday:

Surface ridging will provide a brief break from the rainfall
Thursday and Friday as it traverses over the central CONUS.
Southerly flow will help Gulf moisture return to the region and
bring afternoon temps to the lower 70s to near 80 degrees by
Saturday.

Although warm temps are expected Saturday, rain will also return
as well as an upper-lvl trough progresses east, pushing a cold
front into the area. With mid-60 dewpoints, sufficient shear and
instability in place, strong to severe storms will be possible.
Continue to check back for updates as this system is several days
away. Depending on rainfall amounts from the next couple of days,
flooding could be possible with this system as soils will be
saturated and additional 1-2 inches of rain will be likely from
this system.

Post frontal passage will bring a cooler start to the new week.
Afternoon highs will range from the upper 40s in the northwest to
lower 60s in the southeast and overnight lows are expected to drop
to the upper 20s and lower 30s. Cold overnight lows could lead to
a widespread freeze Monday and Tuesday morning. /SW/

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 550 AM CST Wed Feb 12 2025

Poor flying conditions exist across most of the area this morning,
with ceilings and visibilities ranging as low as LIFR/IFR within a
broad area of SHRA and embedded TS moving across the area.
Widespread SHRA and TS activity will continue through most of the
day, and some storms could be severe with 50 kt wind gusts and
tornadoes possible this afternoon. Rain will end from west to east
this evening as a cold front moves across the area. Low clouds
will persist through the remainder of the TAF period, however,
with ceilings expected to remain in the IFR/MVFR range. /DL/
