The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
Isolated severe storms affected portions of northeast Louisiana during the afternoon with some thunderstorm outflow wind damage at Tallulah. Quarter size hail also fell near Goodwill.
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 7, 4:45 PM CST, 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR AVIATION DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 545 PM CDT TUE JUN 7 2011 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...SATELLITE IMAGERY IS SHOWING A SWIRL AROUND AN MCV MOVING WEST NEAR THE SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI/LOUISIANA STATE LINE. THIS DISTURBANCE WAS COMBINING WITH INCREASING DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND PRIME DAYTIME HEATING TO SET OFF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE HIGHWAY 84 CORRIDOR THAT WILL SPREAD NORTH AS THEY TRACK WEST. TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON REACHED THE CENTURY MARK AT HATTIESBURG AND JACKSON THAT WAS HELPING FUEL THE CONVECTION. MODEL CONSENSUS STILL POINTS TO THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OUR CWA AS HAVING THE GREATEST COVERAGE OF STORMS THROUGH EARLY EVENING WITH ISOLATED IN THE NORTH. LOCAL WET MICROBURST CHECKLISTS SHOWED FAVORABLE PARAMETERS FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH AND QUARTER SIZED HAIL. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY WHERE THE STORMS TRAIN SLOWLY TO THE WEST OVER THE SAME AREAS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL DECREASE WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING THIS EVENING AND SHOULD END BEFORE MIDNIGHT. THE LARGE MID LEVEL HIGH WILL CONTINUE SHIFTING EAST WEDNESDAY RESULTING IN A COL JUST NORTHWEST OF OUR CWA AND A WEAKENING OF ITS GRIP ON OUR CWA. THE TUTT OVER THE WESTERN GULF IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT BACK EAST TO THE CENTRAL GULF WEDNESDAY. MODELS ARE SHOWING ANOTHER WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVING WEST OVER THE NORTHERN GULF AND JUST SOUTH OF OUR CWA DURING THE HEAT OF THE AFTERNOON. CONVECTION WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE HIGHEST POPS BEING CARRIED IN THE SOUTH. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH AND QUARTER SIZED HAIL BEING THE MAIN THREATS. FLOW LOOKS TO REMAIN LIGHT AGAIN SO SLOW MOVING STORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. THIS ACTIVITY WILL AGAIN BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN AND DECREASE DURING THE EVENING. GUIDANCE CAME IN CLOSE WITH HIGHS 93-95F AT MOST SITES. COME THURSDAY WL HAVE A WEAKENED RIDGE ALOFT OVER THE CWA WITH THE TUTT AXIS IN THE GULF SHIFTED FARTHER EAST INTO THE EASTERN GULF. THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL NOSE ACROSS THE GULF STATES FROM THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR IS EXPECTED TO WORK INTO OUR CWA FROM THE EAST AND LIMIT DEEP MOISTURE TO ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THIS IS WHERE THE BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL OCCUR. GUIDANCE CAME IN A LITTLE TOO COOL FOR HIGHS THURSDAY. AM ANTICIPATING LESS CLOUD COVER AND A LITTLE BETTER HEATING THAN THE MODELS WOULD SUGGEST. THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL BE DIURNAL AND DISSIPATE BY MID EVENING. /22/ .LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...COMPOSITE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS RIDGING WILL REMAIN PREDOMINATE FRIDAY AND ALSO SUGGESTS UPPER RIDGING (MAINLY CENTERED TO OUR WEST)WILL LAST AT LEAST THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. THE RESULT OF THESE GOINGS ON ALOFT WILL LIKELY CONFINE ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS CONFINED ALONG OR SOUTH OF THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE CWA FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. MEANWHILE...TEMPERATURES SHOULD HEAT BACK UP THROUGH THIS PERIOD...WITH A RETURN TO SOME SPORADIC 100 DEGREE READINGS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION BY NEXT WEEKEND. MEXMOS GUIDANCE IS NOT GOING NEAR THAT HOT...AND THE OFFICIAL FORECAST DOES NOT INCLUDE 100S YET...BUT I DID RAISE HIGHS IN MOST AREAS THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. MEXMOS FORECAST LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S DID NOT LOOK BAD CONSIDERING ATMOSPHERE WILL DRY OUT AGAIN OVER THIS TIME PERIOD AND ALLOW FOR EFFICIENT NIGHTTIME COOLING. DEFINITELY POSSIBLE WE COULD END UP WITH CONDITIONS ON PAR WITH THE RECENT HEAT BY NEXT WEEKEND...BUT POTENTIAL FOR OFFICIAL HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA TO BE MET THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK IS NOT LOOKING VERY HIGH AND WILL NOT MENTION RETURN OF HEAT IN THE HWO AT THIS JUNCTURE. MODEL CONSENSUS DOES GIVE SOME HOPE OF UPPER RIDGE BECOMING CENTERED FAR ENOUGH WEST IN THE PLAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK TO ALLOW BOUNDARIES (AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION) TO EFFECTIVELY "BACK-DOOR" INTO THE ARKLAMISS AFTER THE WEEKEND. THIS EVOLUTION OF THE OVERALL WEATHER REGIME WOULD DEFINITELY CUT THE HEAT BACK A LITTLE AGAIN AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN MUCH BETTER OVERALL RAIN CHANCES. HOWEVER...I DO NOT HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE CONSENSUS MODEL OUTPUT TAKING DEVELOPING DROUGHT CONDITIONS AND RECENT PERSISTENCE INTO ACCOUNT. FOR NOW I HAVE TAKEN THE TACT OF NOT RAISING GUIDANCE TEMPS TOO MUCH (ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN MS) AFTER SUNDAY AND INCLUDING SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EVERYWHERE BY TUESDAY (WHILE VIGOROUSLY CROSSING FINGERS). /BB/ && .AVIATION...MAIN ISSUE THIS AFTERNOON HAS BEEN TRACKING CONVECTION AND ISSUING UPDATES AHEAD OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING NEAR TAF SITES. HOT TEMPS AND RELATIVELY DRY SUBCLOUD LAYER HAS BEEN RESULTING IN PARTICULARLY GUSTY STORMS...KMEI RECENTLY HAD A GUST TO 42 KT WITH RELATIVELY BENIGN LOOKING CONVECTION FROM A RADAR PERSPECTIVE. LOOKS AS IF CONVECTION HAS ENDED AT KMEI/KHBG BUT WILL CARRY FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR SO AT KJAN. CONVECTION IS QUITE ISOLATED IN HWY 82 CORRIDOR SO WILL NOT INCLUDE IN ANY TAF SITES FOR NOW. OTHER THAN THE CONVECTION ISSUES WILL BE DECREASING THE WIDESPREAD CI SHIELD ACROSS THE S...AND THEN ANY LATE NIGHT BR/HZ. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...LOWER LAYERS ARE NOT PARTICULARLY MOIST SO WILL NOT BE TOO AGGRESSIVE YET ON VSBYS BUT DID LOWER KHBG TO MVFR GIVEN HEAVY RAIN EARLIER TODAY. HAVE NOT INCLUDED ANY CONVECTION IN TAFS FOR WED BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT POTENTIAL CLOSELY. /08/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
