What happened

The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.

After an active severe weather day on June 18th, the atmosphere quickly recovered and was able to support additional severe weather which began in the late evening and persisted through the overnight hours. Severe weather during the overnight hours in June is quite rare but does occur on occasion. One of the overnight storms actually produced a rare June tornado! This overnight severe weather was likely a sign and just a taste of what was to come during the day on June 19th. As the overnight/early morning complex of storms shifted east, conditions were set just right for additional storms to redevelop to the west by late morning. The atmosphere recovered once more and became quite unstable in the wake of the morning complex. A very potent disturbance dropped south out of Arkansas and developed a large bow echo complex which plowed south across the forecast area. This bow echo was very efficient at producing severe wind gusts and a large swath of wind damage occurred as the system moved southward across Mississippi into Southeast Louisiana.

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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

1032 PM CDT MON JUN 18 2007

.DISCUSSION...ONLY UPDATE NEEDED IS TO REMOVE THE POPS OVER MOST OF
THE CWA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE
ACROSS THE DELTA WHERE THE REMNANTS OF THE COMPLEX THAT CAUSED
FLOODING PROBLEMS NORTH OF DALLAS IS CONTINUING TO MOVE INTO THAT
ARE. THIS CONVECTION WILL LIKELY REMAIN WELL NORTH OF THE METRO IF IT
EVEN PERSISTS THIS FAR EAST. ASS FOR THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...SHRA
AND TSRA MAY BEGIN TO REDEVELOP AS DEEP MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM
NORTH. THIS WILL COMBINE WITH THE APPROACHING WEAK MID LEVEL
DISTURBANCE AND ATLEAST GET CONVECTION GOING AGAIN TOMORROW BUT IF A
LL JET...THAT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN SOUTH OF THE AREA...DEVELOPS A
LITTEL FURTHER TO THE NORTH THEN SHRA AND TSRA COULD QUICKLY DEVELOP
MOVE INTO NORTHEAST LA AND SOUTHERN MS. NEW ZFP AND GRIDS OUT
SHORTLY.

&&

.AVIATION...ONLY ISSUES NOW LOOKM TO BE CEILINGS AND VISBIES. THIS IS
MAINLY THE CASE OVER AREAS THAT RECIEVED DECENT RAIN TODAY LIKE HBG
AND GWO. HBG SHOULD SEE CEILINGS DROP TO MVFR STATUS(PROBABLY AROUND
1500-2K FT) BY OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. ALSO VISBIES WILL FALL IN
MVFR STATUS SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. WITH WINDS STAYING UP A LITTLE
LONGER ALONG WITH APPROACHING SHRA...GWO WILL PROBABLY HOLD OFF ON
THE LOWER CEILINGS UNTIL THE SHRA GET THERE. AS FOR CONVECTION LOOK
FOR SHRA AND TSRA TO REDEVELOP OVER THE ENTIRE AREA AGAIN TOMORROW.
