The episode as NWS MEG wrote it up.
A cold front moved through the Mid-South during the evening hours of November 29th, 2010. The front interacted with a very unstable atmosphere and produced numerous showers and thunderstorms across North Mississippi. One storm became severe and produced damaging winds and a tornado.
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 Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 29, 8:33 PM CST, 2 hours 57 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
833 PM CST MON NOV 29 2010
.UPDATE...
CURRENT ZONE FORECASTS AND GRIDS ARE DOING FINE ATTM. MONITORING
FOR POSSIBLE TORNADO WATCH INTO PORTIONS OF NORTH MS. SATELLITE
SHOWS THAT COLDER TOPS AND MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE MOVED
EAST OF THE MS RIVER. RADAR INDICATES THREE HOURLY RAIN AMOUNTS
NEAR 1 1/2 INCHES IN THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THUS
FAR AMOUNTS HAVE REMAINED BELOW FLASH FLOOD THRESHOLD...BUT
AMOUNTS ARE CREEPING HIGHER TOWARD THE THRESHOLD IN SOME LOCATIONS
AND THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH STILL LOOKS GOOD.
THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED THE COLD FRONT EXTENDING NORTH
TO SOUTH ACROSS CENTRAL MO INTO WESTERN AR AND NORTHEAST TX. AHEAD
OF THIS FRONT A WEAK SURFACE LOW OF 1004 MB WAS NEAR MEMPHIS WITH
A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD ALONG THE MS RIVER. THE MOST
UNSTABLE AND MOIST AIR EXTENDED FROM NORTHEAST LA INTO CENTRAL MS
SOUTH OF A WARM FRONT...IN THIS AREA SURFACE DEW POINTS WERE IN
THE MID AND UPPER 60S WITH SURFACE BASED CAPES BETWEEN 1000 AND
1500 J/KG. BASED ON THE SURFACE OBSERVATION FOR GREENWOOD MS...A
NARROW TONGUE OF THIS MOIST UNSTABLE AIR HAD PUSHED THROUGH THAT
SITE AIMED TOWARD SOUTHERN REACHES OF NORTH MS. THE EARLIER
PREDICTION OF THE GREATEST THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER ALONG AND
SOUTH OF A LINE FROM CLARKSDALE MS TO TUPELO MS STILL LOOKS GOOD.
STORMS HAVE BEEN ROTATING ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT. WITH
VERY HIGH 0-1 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITY BETWEEN 300 AND 500 M2/S2
IN THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR...TORNADOES REMAIN A THREAT IN THE
FAVORED AREA MENTIONED ABOVE FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 345 PM CST MON NOV 29 2010/
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IS CURRENTLY ORGANIZING IN THE VICINITY OF
SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA THIS AFTERNOON WITH A COLD FRONT EXTENDING
SOUTHWEST FROM THE LOW TO THE UPPER TEXAS GULF COAST. A WARM FRONT
EXTENDS EAST ACROSS NORTHERN LOUISIANA INTO SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI
AT 21Z. TO THE NORTH OF THE DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM...AN OCCLUDED FRONT EXTENDS NORTH THROUGH THE MIDDLE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO ANOTHER OCCLUDED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER
IOWA. TO THE NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT...WHICH CURRENTLY INCLUDES
ALL OF THE MID SOUTH...STRONG ISENTROPIC FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH
LARGE SCALE ASCENT AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH HAS RESULTED IN
WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS AND DEWPOINTS PRIMARILY IN THE
50S. SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT ACROSS MUCH OF LOUISIANA AND SOUTHERN
MISSISSIPPI...A QUALITY WARM SECTOR AIRMASS HAS DEVELOPED...RICH
IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY. DEWPOINTS
HAVE SURGED INTO THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREES WITH
TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 70S.
THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THAT THE NEW
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE ARKLATEX WILL CONTINUE TO
LIFT NORTHEAST AS A STRONG MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE PUNCHES ACROSS CENTRAL
TEXAS THIS EVENING. ATMOSPHERIC WIND FIELDS WILL CONTINUE TO
STRENGTHEN IN ADVANCE OF THIS FEATURE. STRONG SHEAR IS ANTICIPATED
ACROSS THE ENTIRE MID SOUTH AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY OVERNIGHT
AS A POWERFUL 100+KT MID LEVEL JET STREAK ADVECTS FROM THE
ARKLATEX INTO THE OZARKS OVERNIGHT. LATEST FORECASTS OF 0-1KM BULK
SHEAR IS IN EXCESS OF 40KTS...WITH 0-1KM SRH FORECAST IN EXCESS OF
400M2/S2 AFTER 00Z TUESDAY.
THE PRIMARY QUESTION THAT STILL LINGERS IS HOW FAR NORTH THE NEW
SURFACE LOW AND ATTENDANT WARM FRONT MOVES. AT THIS TIME IT
APPEARS THAT THE SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK FROM THE VICINITY OF
NORTHWEST LOUISIANA LATE THIS AFTERNOON NORTHEAST TO A POSITION
OVER NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI BY MIDNIGHT. THIS SHOULD HELP TO LIFT
THE SURFACE WARM FRONT NORTHWARD INTO PORTIONS OF NORTH
MISSISSIPPI AROUND MIDNIGHT WITH SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY
INFILTRATING INTO AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM CLARKSDALE
MISSISSIPPI TO TUPELO MISSISSIPPI. ACROSS THESE SOUTHERN
LOCATIONS...EXPECT THE AIRMASS TO POTENTIALLY RAPIDLY DESTABILIZE
LATER TONIGHT WITH SBCAPES BETWEEN 500-1000J/KG AS DEWPOINTS RISE
INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S. THIS AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY COMBINED
WITH THE STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND HELICITY WOULD PROVE
SUFFICIENT TO RESULT IN SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND SOUTH OF
THE WARM FRONT. ANY SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORM THAT CAN MOVE INTO
THESE SOUTHERN LOCATIONS WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS...AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL IF THE
WARM FRONT CAN MAKE IT INTO NORTH MISSISSIPPI. CONSIDERING THE STRONG
SHEAR AND HELICITY...A FEW STRONG TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.
CONFIDENCE IN HOW FAR NORTH THE WARM FRONT ADVANCES STILL REMAINS
LOWER THAN PREFERRED. IT STILL APPEARS THAT THE GREATEST POTENTIAL
FOR SIGNIFICANT...MORE WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER WILL REMAIN
ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. AREAS SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT ACROSS
THE WARM SECTOR SHOULD SEE A STRONG SQUALL-LINE DEVELOP TO THE
WEST ALONG THE TRAILING COLD FRONT LATE TONIGHT. THIS COLD FRONT
SHOULD SWEEP FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR BRINGING A
CONTINUED THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. TO
THE NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT...MUCH OF THE INSTABILITY SHOULD
REMAIN ELEVATED WITH ONLY ISOLATED STRONG/SEVERE WIND GUSTS
POSSIBLE...MAINLY ACROSS AREAS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40.
HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL TO THE THE EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER WILL
CONTINUE TO BE A THREAT OVERNIGHT. THE POTENTIAL STILL EXISTS FOR
AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL AND A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
REMAINS OVER THESE AREAS...ESPECIALLY IN LOCATIONS WHERE
THUNDERSTORMS TRAIN. THE GREATEST HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL APPEARS
ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 IN CLOSEST PROXIMITY TO THE BEST
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL.
THE SURFACE LOW SHOULD LIFT RAPIDLY NORTHEAST INTO THE EASTERN
TENNESSEE VALLEY BY TUESDAY MORNING HELPING TO SWEEP THE
COLD/OCCLUDED FRONT EAST OF THE AREA. THIS WILL BRING AN END TO
PRECIPITATION CHANCES AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST. COLD AIR ADVECTION THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY SHOULD
PROVIDE FOR STEADY OR EVEN SLOWLY FALLING TEMPERATURES. THIS HIGH
PRESSURE SHOULD MOVE SLOWLY EAST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK WITH
CONTINUED DRY WEATHER AND MODERATING TEMPERATURES THROUGH FRIDAY.
ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MID SOUTH NEXT
WEEKEND WITH SLIGHT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND
MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES TO FOLLOW THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.
JLH
&&
.AVIATION...
00Z TAF CYCLE
A WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA
TONIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES AT
TIMES THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND SOME
THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AND OVERNIGHT.
SOME LLWS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATER THIS EVENING MAINLY BEFORE
MIDNIGHT. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE AFTER A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT WITH VFR CONDITIONS BY TUESDAY MORNING.
WINDS WILL REMAIN SOUTH TONIGHT THEN GRADUALLY SHIFT TO THE
SOUTHWEST AND FINALLY TO THE WEST AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES
THROUGH. WIND SPEEDS WILL BE MAINLY BETWEEN 10 AND 15 KNOTS WITH
SOME HIGHER GUSTS POSSIBLE.
