What happened

The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.

The extreme to exceptional drought, which had gripped a large portion of the region since May, finally was reduced during the first and middle portion of July. The drought lasted for only a few days before widespread rains began falling around the 3-4 of July. These rains lasted for nearly 2 weeks until the 21st. Rainfall was nearly a daily occurrence during this time frame with the entire forecast area seeing above normal rainfall for July. The area saw a range to 6 to 11 inches of rain for the month.

Due to the lingering effects of the drought, there were still some agricultural losses during the first few days of July, albeit much less than what occurred during the peak of the drought which occurred during June.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jun 30, 7:45 PM CST, 4 hours 15 minutes earlier.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...
NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND SUNDAY
ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
AREA OVERNIGHT. PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND LINGERING INSTABILITY WILL
HELP SUSTAIN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. WIND GUSTS TO 45 MPH...SMALL HAIL
AND FREQUENT DANGEROUS LIGHTNING WILL BE POSSIBLE. PERIODS OF HEAVY
RAINFALL MAY CAUSE PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY
WILL REMAIN ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM CROSSETT ARKANSAS...TO
CANTON TO DEKALB MISSISSIPPI.

A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES...SMALL HAIL AND WIND GUSTS OF 50 MPH MAY
OCCUR WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. IN ADDITION...THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF
THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL LEAD TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND THE PONDING
OF WATER ON ROADS.

A STALLING SURFACE FRONT SHOULD DRIFT INTO THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR
LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. THIS BOUNDARY WILL HELP FOCUS THE
STORMS DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE AFTERNOONS AND EARLY EVENING.

LINGER THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
ISOLATED HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE

DROPS SOUTHWARD INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH PORTIONS OF THE AREA.
FEWER STORMS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK UNTIL ANOTHER
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE DROPS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST ON FRIDAY.

OTHERWISE...THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW
