The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.

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 21, 11:01 AM CST, 4 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 1201 PM CDT TUE JUN 21 2011 .UPDATE...THE FORECAST HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO INCREASE POPS ACROSS WRN ZONES WHERE A CELLS HAVE BEEN PERSISTENTLY TRAINING THIS MORNING. SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS ALSO DEVELOPED ACROSS ERN ZONES IN THE FETCH OF MOISTURE THAT HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. AN EXPANSIVE CANOPY OF CLOUDS THAT COVERS THE REGION WILL INHIBIT AFTERNOON HEATING...RESULTING IN MUCH COOLER TEMPS TODAY...ESPECIALLY OVER SOME WRN ZONES WHERE HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH THE 80S. WEAK WAVES IN THE FLOW WILL HELP WITH FORCING AND HEALTHY UPPER DIVERGENCE IS IN PLACE. ALTHOUGH THE CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS HAS DECREASED FOR TODAY...ONE OR TWO EMBEDDED STRONG...POSSIBLY SEVERE...STORMS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 2 INCHES THE POTENTIAL FOR PERIODS OF HEAVIER RAINFALL EXISTS FOR THE REGION TODAY...ESPECIALLY OVER WRN ZONES IN THE TRACK OF TRAINING STORMS. && .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY/RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS THE CIRCULATION AROUND A NEARLY STACKED LOW OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA THAT IS EXPECTED TO BRING OUR CWA A GOOD CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD WETTING RAIN AND COOLER TEMPERATURES TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. REGIONAL RADARS WERE SHOWING PLENTY OF CONVECTION ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT THAT STRETCHED ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND INTO NORTHERN TEXAS. THE STACKED LOW WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTHEAST TODAY TO NEAR THE IOWA/MINNESOTA STATE LINE BY THIS EVENING WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT DRIFTING OVER THE OZARKS AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA. EVENTHOUGH OUR CWA WILL REMAIN WELL SOUTHEAST OF THE FRONT TODAY...THE CONTINUING MOISTURE SURGE AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL COMBINE WITH DAYTIME HEATING TO FUEL NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF OUR CWA WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS OUR SOUTHEAST. THE 00Z TUE JAN SOUNDING SHOWED A PW OF 1.91IN. PWS TODAY ARE EXPECTED TO SURGE ABOVE TWO INCHES TODAY. THE INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AND RAIN CHANCES WILL HOLD TEMPERATURES DOWN. THE 00Z TUE GFS MOS WAS AMONG THE HIGHEST ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AND SEVERAL DEGREES WARMER THAN THE NAM MOS. CUT MAX TEMPERATURES TODAY CLOSER TO THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN WHICH WAS CLOSE TO THE NAM MOS. THE COOLER SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL BE OFFSET BY THE COOLER TEMPERATURES ALOFT MAINTAINING RELATIVELY STEEP LAPSE RATES THIS AFTERNOON WITH VERTICAL TOTALS NEAR 28C. THE GREATEST 0-6KM SHEAR OF 20-30KTS AND GREATEST MLCAPES ABOVE 2000J/KG WILL BE OVER THE WESTERN ZONES WHERE A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF WIND GUSTS TO 60MPH...SMALL HAIL AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE CONVECTION WILL SEE A DISTINCT DIURNAL TREND WITH MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY DISSIPATED OVER OUR CWA BEFORE MIDNIGHT. THE NEARLY STACKED LOW IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TRACKING MORE EASTWARD TUESDAY NIGHT AND NUDGE THE COLD FRONT CLOSER TO OUR CWA. MODELS SHOW CONVECTION ALONG THE FRONT SPREADING BACK INTO THE NORTHWEST ZONES PRIOR TO DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE COLD FRONT IS STILL EXPECTED TO STALL WEDNESDAY JUST NORTH OF OUR CWA WHILE THE STACKED LOW TRACKS INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION. OUR MOIST AIRMASS WILL AGAIN DESTABILIZE WITH WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND LEAD TO SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORM COVERAGE ACROSS OUR CWA. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE AND MOSTLY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF OUR CWA. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL CLOSE TO NORMAL AND NEAR 90 DEGREES AT MOST SITES. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES WERE CLOSER WEDNESDAY. ALTHOUGH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN STALLED NORTH OF OUR CWA WEDNESDAY NIGHT...DRIER AIR ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO OUR CWA FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE GFS IS MORE PRONOUNCED WITH THIS LIKELY ENDS PCPN A LITTLE TOO FAST WEDNESDAY EVENING. HAVE MAINTAINED POPS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST THROUGH MIDNIGHT GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST BY MORNING. MODEL RUN ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT ARE STILL SHOWING MORE THAN ONE INCH TOTALS OF MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE AREA WITH LIGHTER QPF ACROSS OUR SOUTHEAST. /22/ .LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...THE PRIMARY CONCERNS WILL BE THE CONTINUATION OF TROPICAL MOISTURE OVER THE REGION TO BRING SOME NEEDED RAINFALL RELIEF FOR THE ARKLAMISS REGION AND ITS AFFECT ON ABOVE NORMAL DAYTIME HIGHS. ALSO MODELS AND ENSEMBLES KEEPING AN ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN FOR THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS MAY KEEP TEMPS FROM GETTING VERY FAR ABOVE NORMAL. LATEST SATELLITE TPW DERIVED IMAGERY SHOWED THE TROPICAL MOISTURE (PWATS OF 2+ INCHES) HAD MADE AN EARLY ARRIVAL INTO THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE ARKLAMISS. LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY ALSO SHOWED AN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE PLAINS. LONGTERM MODELS AND ENSEMBLES ARE BRINGING ABOUT A SHORT TERM CHANGE TO OUR WEATHER PATTERN. A STACK CLOSED LOW AND ASSOCIATED TROUGH WILL BE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH THE CLOSED STACKED LOW IN THE UPPER PORTION. THIS WILL BRING SOME HEIGHT FALLS TO THE REGION AND GOOD PRECIPITABLE WATER OF 2 INCHES PLUS...WHICH SPELLS LOCALLY HEAVY TROPICAL DOWNPOURS OF RAINFALL WITH SOME UPPER DIVERGENCE. THE RAIN AND CLOUD COVER WILL BRING SOME SOME RELIEF TO OUR ABOVE NORMAL DAYTIME TEMPERATURE REGIME. THE BEST HEIGHT FALLS AND FORCING WILL OCCUR WELL NORTH OF THE REGION WITH THE STACKED CLOSED LOW. ON THURSDAY-FRIDAY A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL BECOME STATIONARY AS IT ATTEMPTS TO APPROACH THE REGION AND THEN GET PUSHED BACK TO THE NORTH. THE SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL SEND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...WHICH MAY COMBINE WITH OTHER STORM OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY...LAPSE RATE AND THERMODYNAMICS FOR SOME ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH THE AID OF UPPER DIVERGENCE ALOFT. AS WE GO TOWARD THE WEEKEND THE HIGH PWATS GET USHERED SOUTH OF THE REGION WITH PRECIP WATER AT 1.5 TO 1.8 INCHES. THE CLOSED STACK LOW WILL LIFT NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHEAST CANADA. THIS WILL PUSH THE TROUGH AXIS EAST OF THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND. MODELS HAVE MODIFIED OUR PATTERN FOR THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THEY KEEP THE MEAN RIDGE AXIS WEST IN THE PLAINS WHILE PUTTING THE REGION INTO AN ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN FOR THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH COOLER AIR ALOFT PROVIDING LAPSE RATES...DECENT VT AND DCAPE WILL PROVIDE THE RISK FOR ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS FROM THE NORTHWEST DURING THE PERIOD. ALL MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT TO BRINGING SOME RAIN RELIEF TO THE REGION. AVERAGE MODEL QPF RANGES FROM ONE TO TWO INCHES...WHILE THE 5 DAY QPF RANGES FROM NEAR 1 TO 1.5 INCHES. SO WITH THIS IN MIND WILL KEEP THE MENTION OF ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS FOR THURSDAY IN THE HWO WITH THE RISK OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS OF TWO INCHES. AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE CONCERN MADE A BLEND OF MEX...GMOS AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE. AS FAR AS POPS ARE CONCERN MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO MEX AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE. && .AVIATION...MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE WILL FUEL SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS AROUND THE REGION THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. PATCHY MVFR CONDITIONS WILL EXIST ACROSS THE REGION DURING THIS PERIOD AWAY FROM THUNDERSTORMS DUE TO CEILINGS...BUT IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IN AREAS OF HEAVY DOWNPOURS. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE FROM THE SOUTH AT 10 TO 15 MPH TODAY...AND PERHAPS A LITTLE GUSTY AT TIMES. SOME STORMS COULD BE A LITTLE POTENT AND PRODUCE TOPS TO 50 KFT AND AT LEAST MODERATE TURBULENCE. ANTICIPATE MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE REGION DIMINISHING THIS EVENING...ALTHOUGH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPPING IN FROM THE NORTH COULD CONTINUE TO TRIGGER THUNDERSTORMS AROUND THE GLH/GWO/TVR/GTR/CBM AXIS THROUGH THE NIGHT. /BB/ && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
