The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
Numerous showers and thunderstorms developed during the afternoon hours of August 5th. This round of storms essentially broke the heat wave which started the month. The atmosphere was primed for severe storms this day and several thunderstorms brought damaging winds, hail, and locally heavy rain.
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 Aug 5, 9:30 AM CST, 2 hours 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1030 AM CDT THU AUG 5 2010
.UPDATE...ANOTHER HOT ONE IS IN STORE FOR TODAY BUT SOME CLOUD COVER
OVER THE DELTA AND IN THE SOUTH HAS SLOWED HEATING THIS MORNING.
MOST SITES WERE SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER AT 10 AM THAN THEY WERE
YESTERDAY. A WEAK EASTERLY DISTURBANCE MOVING ALONG THE GULF COAST
WAS HELPING DEVELOP EARLY MORNING CONVECTION ALONG I-10. SOME OF
THIS ACTIVITY IS ALREADY SPREADING INTO OUR SOUTHEAST MOST ZONES.
LOCAL RADARS WERE ALSO INDICATING ACTIVITY OVER PORTIONS OF THE
DELTA. THE STRONGEST INSOLATION THIS MORNING WAS OCCURRING OVER THE
NORTHEAST HALF OF THE AREA. THE NORTHEAST HALF OF THE AREA IS WHERE
THE STRONGEST STORMS MAY OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON AND SPREAD SLOWLY TO
THE SOUTHWEST AGAIN. MORNING WET MICROBURST CHECKLIST SHOWED A RISK
TODAY WITH DCAPES IN EXCESS OF 1100J/KG. THE CLOUD COVER AND EARLY
MORNING CONVECTION MAY KEEP PORTIONS OF THE DELTA FROM EXCEEDING THE
CENTURY MARK TODAY AND OUR SOUTHEAST FROM REACHING THE UPPER 90S.
FORECAST TEMPERATURES LOOKED ON TRACK ELSEWHERE THOUGH AND WITH THE
HIGH HUMIDITY...HEAT INDEX VALUES SHOULD REACH OR EXCEED 110 AGAIN
OVER MOST OF THE AREA. WL CONTINUE THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING FOR
THE WHOLE AREA TODAY. UPDATES HAVE BEEN POSTED. /22/
&&
.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA THIS
MORNING WITH A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS DEVELOPING NEAR HBG AND
GLH. THUNDERSTORMS COVERAGE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE ACROSS IN
COVERAGE LATER THIS MORNING AND INTO THE AREA EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS
AND THIS MAY BRING TEMPO MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES TO THE
SITES. THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DIMINISH BY THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.
/15/
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 445 AM CDT THU AUG 5 2010/
SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE
HEAT AND OPPRESSIVE HUMIDITY THAT WE HAVE FELT OVER THE LAST FEW
DAYS LOOKS TO BE ON THE DECREASE AND RAIN CHANCES ARE ON THE
INCREASE.
THE STOUT SUBTROPICAL RIDGE THAT HAS BEEN DELIVERING TRIPLE DIGIT
HEAT TO THE ARKLAMISS IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND SHIFT
WESTWARD TODAY. WITH LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURES(925MB) STILL AROUND
29-30C IN THE DELTA...TO 27-28C ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST...WE SHOULD
STILL SEE SOME LOCATIONS REACHING THE TRIPLE DIGITS. HOWEVER...THE
HOTTEST TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE MORE CONFINED TO THE DELTA AND
LOCATIONS NORTH OF I-20 WHERE THE BEST THERMAL AXIS WILL
REMAIN(ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE DELTA). FURTHER SOUTH...TEMPERATURES
"COOL" TO THE 97-99 RANGE. HOWEVER...WITH COPIOUS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
IN PLACE AND DEWPOINTS STILL RUNNING IN THE MID 70S...HEAT INDICES
WILL REMAIN ELEVATED AND BRING READINGS INTO THE 110-113 RANGE IN
THE DELTA. FURTHER SOUTH...READINGS ARE NOT FORECAST TO REACH 110
BUT MAY COME CLOSE AROUND 108-109 AND BRIEFLY TOUCH 110 DEGREES.
EVEN STILL...AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE
ENTIRE AREA TODAY.
IN ADDITION TO THE HEAT...WITH THE UPPER RIDGE SLIDING OFF THE
WEST...THIS WILL ONCE AGAIN OPEN THE DOORS TO SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. WE HAD QUITE A
BIT OF ACTIVITY ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EXPECT SIMILAR CONDITIONS
TODAY AS ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL INTERACT WITH HOT TEMPERATURES AND
ANY LINGERING BOUNDARIES. THE MAIN TIMEFRAME AGAIN WILL BE FROM
EARLY AFTERNOON TIL ABOUT 8PM OR SO. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE FROM
DAMAGING WINDS AS CAPE VALUES SHOULD BE HIGH...ALONG WITH ACCEPTABLE
LAPSE RATES...PW VALUES OF 2.2 INCHES OR SO...AND DCAPES LIKELY TO
BE IN EXCESS OF 1000 J/KG GIVEN MID LEVEL DRIER AIR. MUCH OF THE
ACTIVITY WILL BE DIURNAL BUT THE NORTH COULD SEE A FEW ROGUE STORMS
OVERNIGHT AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE NORTH.
FRIDAY IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT TRICKIER AS THERE WILL BE SOME
OTHER FACTORS IN PLAY FOR OUR WEATHER. MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER CANADA DIGGING A TROUGH DOWN
THROUGH THE EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY. AS THE LOW MOVES EAST
ACROSS CANADA TODAY....THIS SHOULD SEND THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD
FRONT TOWARD THE REGION FOR FRIDAY. MODELS SHOW THIS BOUNDARY NEAR
THE NORTHERN PART OF MY CWA BY 12Z FRIDAY AND THEN INTO THE CENTRAL
SECTIONS BY ABOUT 00Z BEFORE STALLING. WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE
POOLING AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY...THIS SHOULD HELP FOCUS A HIGHER
CHANCE FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY ESPECIALLY
ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. AGAIN THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY FOR
THESE STORMS TO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE WITH WIND BEING THE PRIMARY
THREAT. IN ADDITION...WITH RELATIVELY LIGHT FLOW...ALONG WITH
ABUNDANT MOISTURE...THERE COULD BE SOME PONDING OF WATER AND HEAVY
RAINFALL WITH THESE STORMS.
WITH THE BOUNDARY MOVING THROUGH THE CWA ON FRIDAY...THIS MAY MAKE
TEMPERATURES A LITTLE MORE OF A CHALLENGE. HIGHS SHOULD BE A LITTLE
COOLER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS AS LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURES COOL SLIGHTLY
AND WITH ADDITIONAL CLOUD COVER AND RAIN...THIS SHOULD KEEP READINGS
INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S. AS MOISTURE POOLS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN INTO THE 70S AND HEAT INDICES WILL
REACH THE 105-110 RANGE. SOME LOCATIONS MAY BRIEFLY REACH SLIGHTLY
ABOVE 110 BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT AS HIGH WITH THIS AS IT HAS BEEN
PREVIOUS DAYS. WITH THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPS AND HIGH
DEWPOINTS...WE SHOULD SEE HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA MET AND THUS ONE
HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THERE IS THE
POSSIBILITY THAT THE DELTA REGION COULD SEE MARGINAL EXCESSIVE HEAT
WARNING CRITERIA GIVEN THIS IS WHERE THE LOW LEVEL TEMPS ARE WARMEST
AND GIVEN ENOUGH MOISTURE...COULD SEE HI VALUES HIGHER THAN
110...BUT AGAIN NOT CONFIDENT IN THIS GIVEN INFLUENCES FROM THE
BOUNDARY(ALTHOUGH SIGNIFICANT DRIER AIR IS NOT EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO
THE REGION). THE BOUNDARY SHOULD STALL ACROSS THE REGION AND HAVE
LEFT IN SMALL POPS FOR OVERNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT FOR LINGERING
CONVECTION THOUGH EXPECT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY TO BE DIURNAL IN
NATURE.
GUI CAME IN DECENT FOR TEMPS AND GENERALLY FOLLOWED ALTHOUGH SOME
TWEAKING WAS DONE FOR FRIDAY. IN ADDITION...POPS CAME IN ON THE
HIGHER SIDE WHICH CANNOT BE ARGUED TOO MUCH. DID RAISE POPS IN THE
DELTA TODAY. NOT CONFIDENT THEY WILL SEE A WHOLE LOT OF ACTIVITY BUT
THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOME AS THE UPPER RIDGE EXITS STAGE LEFT. ALSO
RAISED IN THE NORTH FOR FRIDAY AS EXPECTING INTERACTION WITH THE
APPROACHING BOUNDARY. /28/
LONG TERM...THE REGION REMAINS IN NWLY FLOW ALOFT ON THE ERN EDGES
OF UPPER RIDGING SATURDAY. WEAK SURFACE CONVERGENCE WILL PERSIST
ACROSS OR TO THE S OF SRN ZONES THROUGH MUCH OF THE LONG
TERM...FOCUSING AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION OVER MUCH OF THE
AREA. ALTHOUGH ISOLATED STRONGER CONVECTION CAN NOT BE RULED
OUT...THE AIR MASS LOOKS RELATIVELY STABLE FOR NOW FOR THE WEEKEND
WITH INCREASING DCAPE VALUES EARLY NEXT WEEK. UPPER RIDGING DEVELOPS
BACK INTO THE REGION AND 500 MB TEMPS GRADUALLY WARM THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WITH BOTH MODELS INDICATING -3 DEGS OR WARMER OVER A LARGE
PART OF THE FORECAST AREA BY MON AFTERNOON...THE GFS PARTICULARLY
WARMING NRN ZONES. ALTHOUGH RIDGING INCREASES...IT DOES NOT APPEAR
TO AMPLIFY ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE AREA FROM CONVECTION PRODUCED BY
LOWER LEVEL FORCING. IT ALSO WILL NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO WARD OFF
WEAK WAVES AND AREAS OF ASCENT FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE BOTTOM
OF RIDGE INTO THE AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BEGIN A DECLINE SATURDAY NIGHT...
CONTINUING THROUGH MONDAY AS A FETCH OF SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR SETS UP
FROM THE E/NE. ALTHOUGH NOT BONE DRY...PWATS FALL BELOW 2 INCHES ALL
AREAS MON NIGHT BEFORE INCREASING BACK TO 2 INCHES AND ABOVE WED
WHEN THE MOISTURE FROM THE SWLY FETCH OVER THE ERN GULF BEGINS TO
FILL IN OVER OUR SERN ZONES. THIS WILL HELP LIMIT CONVECTION FOR NRN
ZONES TO ISOLATED COVERAGE...THIS AREA BEING FARTHEST FROM LOW LEVEL
FORCING WITH THE SURFACE TROUGH.
RIDGING GIVES WAY FROM THE EAST MID WEEK WITH COOLER 500 MB TEMPS
FORECAST BY WED. GFS/EURO BOTH SHOW TROUGHING NEAR FL MON...THE EURO
BEING THE FASTER OF THE TWO...MOVING THE TROUGH TO OFFSHORE LA
ACROSS LA/MS 12Z WED WHILE THE GFS PLACES THE TROUGH ALONG THE FL
PANHANDLE INLAND ALONG THE AL/GA BORDER MONDAY AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WARM IN THE LONG TERM ALTHOUGH HIGHS WILL
BE LOWER THAN THE PAST FEW DAYS. ALONG WITH WEAKER RIDGING...WETTER
SOIL CONDITIONS WILL NOT PROVIDE THE CONTRIBUTION TO HIGHER
TEMPERATURES AS DRIER SOIL HAS THIS PAST WEEK.
MOS DOES PUSH HIGHS BACK TO 100 DEGREES FOR THE DELTA REGION BY
WED. THIS IS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST SINCE THIS IS THE HIGHER
ENSEMBLE MEMBER SOLUTION...THE LOWEST MEMBER MATCHING CLIMO TEMPS.
THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE MODEL IS SEEING SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT TO
FORCE READINGS WELL ABOVE CLIMO THAT FAR OUT. WILL PRETTY MUCH
FOLLOW MOS FOR TEMPERATURES FOR NOW WITH THE EXCEPTION OF INCREASING
MIN TEMPS A FEW DEGREES IN SOME AREAS.
