The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
A historic outbreak of tornadoes across the Ark-La-Miss began late on Tuesday, April 26th continuing into the early morning hours of Wednesday, April 27th. The event ramped up again during the early afternoon of April 27th continuing into the early evening. The activity on April 26th began as supercell thunderstorms producing large hail and tornadoes across northeast Texas and portions of Arkansas before evolving into a squall line as it moved east. This line of storms had multiple stages of evolution and moved across several states before dissipating. This line was very efficient in producing wind damage as it pushed east. More impressively, this line was responsible for 21 of the 32 tornadoes that occurred across the Ark-La-Miss during this event. Of those 21, 11 were rated as strong (EF2, EF3) tornadoes and had fairly long path lengths.
The atmosphere reloaded quickly Wednesday morning and became increasingly favorable for more severe storms by early afternoon. The driving force for the activity Wednesday afternoon was a potent shortwave and deep surface low that intensified during the day. The winds in the mid levels of the atmosphere increased to 80-100 mph helping to deepen the surface low further, which in turn caused the low level winds to become stronger. The wind shear caused by the turning of the winds from south near the surface to westerly aloft was at rare levels for late April over the Deep South. In addition, an abundance of low level moisture returned to the area in wake of the morning complex. Sunny skies during the morning interacted with the high levels of low level moisture eventually leading to a very unstable air mass by early afternoon. The result was an extremely rare mix of instability and wind shear. These ingredients, along with lift from a potent upper disturbance, ultimately led to the historic tornado outbreak of April 27, 2011.
By early afternoon, several discrete supercell thunderstorms were developing across central and eastern Mississippi. It did not take long for these storms to take on classic supercell structures and begin producing tornadoes. The first tornado of the afternoon started in Neshoba County on the north side of Philadelphia. This tornado ended up producing EF-5 damage and tracked for 29 miles across Neshoba, Kemper, Winston and Noxubee Counties. Through the rest of the afteroon multiple tornadoes developed, stemming from multiple supercell storms. Nearly all of the storms produced tornadoes, with many of them long track and significant. The other violent tornado to impact the Jackson, MS forecast area occurred across Smith, Jasper, and Clarke Counties. This tornado continued into Alabama and had a total path length of 124 miles across both states.
Loss of life during this historic event was staggering. 321 people lost their lives making this the second deadliest tornado outbreak in U.S. history. The March 18, 1925 Tri-State tornado outbreak is first with 747 fatalities. This marks the first EF-5 tornado in Mississippi since the Candlestick Park tornado on May 3, 1966, and this marks the first time since statistics have been kept that two EF-5 tornadoes have been recorded on the same day in Mississippi, with the tornado in Smithville also rated as EF-5. Incredibly, 4 tornadoes had path lengths over 100 miles across the southern states during this event, and all 4 of these were rated either EF-4 or EF-5.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
830 PM CDT TUE APR 26 2011
...SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT CURRENTLY UNFOLDING...TIMEFRAME
IS FOR TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...
.UPDATE...LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED STRONG UPPER TROUGH OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS...WHICH WAS PROVIDING AN OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER FROM
THE AROUND THE ARKLATEX TO THE MIDSOUTH REGION. CURRENT FORECAST APPEARS
TO THE ON TRACK FOR SEVERE STORMS TO AFFECT THE REGION AS PREVIOUSLY
DISCUSSED. OVERNIGHT TEMPS LOOK TO BE ON TRACK. LATEST RUC AND SHORT
RANGE ENSEMBLES HAS IT AFFECTING THE REGION LATER TONIGHT./17/
./PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...355 PM CDT
.DISCUSSION...MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK READY TO UNFOLD FROM THE
ARKLATEX THROUGH OUR FORECAST AREA INTO AL AND TN VALLEY TONIGHT
INTO WED. THIS EVENT WILL BE THE FOCUS OF THIS FORECAST FOR THE NEXT
24HRS THEN A SHIFT TO COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS INTO THE WEEKEND.
ACROSS THE AREA TODAY...THE ATMS IS QUICKLY RESPONDING AND
RECOVERING FROM THE MORNING STORM COMPLEX. BASED OFF VAPOR
IMAGERY...SEVERAL DISTURBANCES ARE NOTED IN THE MEAN UPPER TROUGH.
IT IS THESE FEATURES...ALONG WITH THE MAIN DIGGING TROUGH...THAT IS
CAUSING SFC PRESSURES TO LOWER ACROSS TX WHICH IS IN TURN ALLOWING
PRESSURES TO FALL OVER OUR REGION. FORECAST MODELS SEEM TO BEING
WELL WITH THE ABV FEATURES I MENTIONED AND SHOW THE RAPID RESPONSE
TO THE WIND FIELDS AND RECOVERY OF THE ATMS. TAKING THE VARIOUS
MODEL GUID ALONG WITH HI-RES OUTPUT...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF STORMS
APPEAR POSSIBLE WITH THE VARIOUS EMBEDDED WAVES FROM LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...EVENING/OVERNIGHT AND THEN ON WED.
AS THE ENVIRONMENT RESPONDS TO THE INTENSE UPPER TROUGH AND EMBEDDED
WAVES...SVR WX PARAMETERS WILL INCREASE AND REACH EXTREME LEVELS.
INSTABILITY WILL NOT BE EXTREME...BUT WILL BE STRONG AND AT LEVELS
RATHER HIGH FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. AS SFC WINDS REMAIN STRONG
OVERNIGHT DUE TO LOWERING PRESSURES...THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL REMAIN
WELL MIXED. LOOK FOR MLCAPE TO HOLD IN THE 1500-2300 J/KG RANGE WITH
7 TO 8 C/KM LAPSE RATES IN PLACE. A LOW LEVEL CAP WILL DEVELOP AS
WELL AND HELP TO LIMIT THE STORM COVERAGE...ESPECIALLY FOR THE
SOUTHERN HALF. AS FOR SHEAR PARAMETERS...EFFECTIVE SRH VALUES WILL
RAPIDLY INCREASE EARLY THIS EVENING AND INTO WED. THESE SRH VALUES
WILL APPROACH EXTREME LEVELS AND RANGE FROM 400-800 M2/S2. THIS
COMBINATION SHEAR/INSTABILITY IS VERY RARE AND CONDUCIVE FOR
SIGNIFICANT SVR STORMS. ADDITIONALLY...THE POSITION OF THE MID LEVEL
HGHTS...SFC LOW AND VALUE OF THE SFC PRESSURES HISTORICALLY SUPPORT
A SIGNIFICANT EVENT WHEN OVERLAID OVER SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY. THE
AREA WILL ALSO SEE ANOTHER DRY LINE FEATURE PUSH INTO THE REGION AND
TYPICALLY THAT LEADS TO A SUBSTANTIAL EVENT.
THE AREAS UNDER THE GREATEST RISK HAVE NOT CHANGED. LOCATIONS NORTH
OF I-20 CONTINUE TO HAVE THE GREATEST RISK WITH AREAS ALONG AND S OF
I-20 HAVING A MORE ISOLATED RISK. THE SOUTHERN HALF WILL HAVE TO
COMPETE WITH LOW/MID LEVEL CAPPING AND ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT IT
WILL BE TOUGH TO BREAK THE CAP EVEN IN THE FACE SUCH INTENSE
FORCING. HOWEVER...IF ANYTHING CAN DEVELOP...CONDITIONS WILL BE VERY
FAVORABLE FOR HIGH END SVR STORMS. THE NORTHERN HALF WILL LIKELY
HAVE SOME CAP...BUT IT WON'T BE AS STRONG AND THE DEPTH OF MOISTURE
AND ASCENT WILL ALLOW FOR MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF STORMS. THE REPETITIVE
EXPECTATION OF STORMS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS ACROSS
THE NORTH WITH 3-6 IN TOTALS POSSIBLE. SOME HIGHER AMOUNTS COULD
ALSO OCCUR. DUE TO THIS...HAVE EXPANDED THE AREA OF THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH.
THE SEVERITY OF THIS EVENT WILL ULTIMATELY COME DOWN TO STORM MODE
(SUPERCELL VS SQUALL LINE). AT THIS TIME...IT SEEMS AS THE CWA WILL
SEE A MIXTURE OF BOTH THROUGH THIS EVENT. WITH ANY SUPERCELL
STORM...THERE WILL EXIST THE POSSIBILITY OF LONG TRACK STRONG
TORNADOES....VERY LARGE HAIL AND DMG WINDS TO 80 MPH. AS FOR ANY
LINE SEGMENT...DMG WINDS TO 80 MPH WILL BE THE PRIMARY RISK WITH
HAIL AND TORNADOES ALSO A SUBSTANTIAL RISK. EITHER WAY AND WHICH
EVER MODE OCCURS...THE RISK FOR SIGNIFICANT SVR WX IS POSSIBLE.
AS FOR TIMING...THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME...JUST A LARGE WINDOW OF
FAVORABLE CONDITIONS ACROSS THE N HALF FROM NOW THROUGH WED
AFTERNOON. I WOULD SAY THAT THE SE PORTION OF THE CWA WILL WAIT
UNTIL AT LEAST MID/LATE MORNING AND DURING WED AFTERNOON. I DO FEEL
CONFIDENT THAT THINGS WILL PUSH EAST AND EXIT THE AREA BY 7 PM WED.
IN ADDITION TO ALL THE SVR WX...SFC WINDS WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT
AND BECOME QUITE GUSTY. THE STRONGEST WINDS LOOK TO OCCUR ON WED AS
THE AREA WARMS AND MIXES DOWN THE INTENSE WINDS JUST OFF THE SFC.
ADDITIONALLY...WHEN THE DRY LINE MOVES ACROSS THE W/NW
AREAS...DEEPER MIXING WILL OCCUR AND HELP TO BRING DOWN WINDS OF
40-50 MPH. FOR NOW...HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADV FOR ALL OF THE AREA.
PORTIONS OF THE W/NW MAY NEED A HIGH WIND WARNING. THIS WILL BE
LOOKED AT CLOSER IN LATER FORECASTS AND UPDATED AS NEEDED.
BEYOND 8 PM TOMORROW...CONDITIONS WILL BE QUIET WITH COOLER AND MORE
SEASONAL CONDITIONS EXPECTED. NEXT REAL CHANCE AT PRECIP LOOKS TO
WAIT UNTIL SUN OR MON. /CME/
&&
.AVIATION...DANGEROUS FLYING WEATHER IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24-30
HOURS AS SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SEVERE TSRA(LARGE HAIL/SEVERE
TURBULENCE/WIND SHEAR) IMPACT THE ARKLAMISS. FIRST ROUND OF STORMS
IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN OVER THE DELTA AROUND 22-24Z THIS
EVENING...WITH CONTINUED TSRA DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE DELTA/NORTHERN
MS LATER TONIGHT. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHWRS/TSTMS WILL BEGIN
IMPACTING THE REGION TOMORROW MORNING AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE WEST. VFR CONDS WILL PERSIST THIS
AFTN INTO THIS EVENING WITH A TREND TOWARD MVFR/IFR CIG 07-13Z FOR
AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF I-55. MVFR/OCSNL IFR CIG XPCTD INVOF
SHWR/TSTM ACTIVITY. IN ADDITION... SOUTHERLY SFC WINDS WILL REMAIN
GUSTY THRU THE PERIOD...WITH GUSTS TO 40KTS PSBL AFTER 03Z THIS
EVENING...ESPECIALLY OVER THE DELTA. /BK/
