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 6, 2:56 PM CST, 19 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 356 PM CDT MON JUN 6 2011 .DISCUSSION... LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT... COASTAL SEA-BREEZE-ENHANCED TSTM ACTIVITY IS ROBUST THIS AFTN JUST SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW IS SHIFTING NORTH AND COULD AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TSTM ACTIVITY ALONG THE HWY 84 CORRIDOR AS WE GO LATER INTO THIS AFTN AND EVNG. THE AIRMASS SOUTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR IS PRIME FOR MICROBURSTS GIVEN STEEP MID/LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND LARGE DCAPE VALUES...SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN THE HWO. EXPECT CONVECTION TO DIMINISH AS THE AIRMASS COOLS DURING THE EVENING HOURS. OTHERWISE... HAVE RAISED GFS MOS LOW TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE AGAIN TONIGHT AS IT CONTINUES TO BE A LITTLE TOO COOL. TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT... MODELS ARE CONTINUING TO KEY IN ON SHORTWAVE ENERGY BEING DRAWN SOUTH/WEST AROUND THE EASTERN/SRN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CENTERED JUST TO OUR NORTH. THIS WILL ENHANCE OUR CHANCES FOR AFTN/EVNG TSTMS TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS SOUTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR WHERE THE SEA-BREEZE FRONT WILL ENHANCE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND WHERE THE RIDGE WILL HAVE LESS INFLUENCE. LAPSE RATES WILL CONTINUE TO BE STEEP AS 500 MB TEMPS ~ -9 DEG C OVERLAY 850MB TEMPS ~ 21 DEG C...AND DCAPE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE HIGH IN THE 1200 TO 1500 J/KG RANGE. SO MICROBURST POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE TO BE HIGH AND WE HAVE CONTINUED TO MENTION THE RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS/HAIL IN THE HWO. /EC/ WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEEKEND...OPERATIONAL MODELS AND MODEL ENSEMBLES GENERALLY AGREE IN DEVELOPING A SOLID WEAKNESS OF THE STUBBORN RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT BY WEDNESDAY. THIS WEAKNESS WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK...PROBABLY GIVING WAY TO PREDOMINANT RIDGING ALOFT AGAIN BY NEXT WEEKEND. DURING THE PREVAILING PERIOD OF THE WEAKNESS ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY RATHER DEEP SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW SHOULD ADVECT PW VALUES OF 1.75 INCHES OR HIGHER INTO THE REGION. COMBINED WITH LACK OF RIDGE- ASSOCIATED CAPPING AND SUBSIDENCE THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD BE RIPE FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT DURING THE AFTERNOONS. THESE BETTER RAIN OPPORTUNITIES MAY SHUT DOWN AGAIN BY NEXT WEEKEND WITH THE POSSIBLE REEMERGENCE OF THE RIDGE. CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY THROUGH AT LEAST NEXT FRIDAY STILL BE WARM (AND MAYBE EVEN MORE MUGGY)...BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE NEARLY AS HOT AS IT HAS BEEN LATELY. MEXMOS GUIDANCE SUGGESTS HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S EVERYWHERE THIS PERIOD AND I HAVE FOLLOWED. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF EITHER WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY SEES HIGHS IN A FEW AREAS STAY IN THE UPPER 80S. MEX GUIDANCE KEEPS HIGHS PRIMARILY IN THE LOWER 90S THROUGH THE WEEKEND...BUT AT LEAST MID 90S SEEM MORE LIKELY IF RIDGE COMES BACK INTO PROMINENCE FOR OUR REGION. THUS...I HAVE BOOSTED GUIDANCE HIGHS NEXT WEEKEND BY SEVERAL DEGREES IN MOST CASES. LOWS THROUGH THE ENTIRE EXTENDED WILL MAINLY RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S AND I HAVE FOLLOWED LATEST MEX GUIDANCE. IN TERMS OF POPS...MEXMOS GUIDANCE DID NOT LOOK TOO BAD...ALTHOUGH I DID MAKE ADJUSTMENTS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THESE DAYS I UPPED POPS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING TO BETTER MATCH ATMOSPHERIC SETUP AND ENSEMBLE MOS OUTPUT. FINALLY...ISOLATED AFTERNOON STORMS LATELY HAVE PACKED QUITE A PUNCH IN TERMS OF WIND...BUT THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT BE THE CASE BY WEDNESDAY AS ATMOSPHERIC LAPSE RATES DECREASE. WITH THIS IN MIND...AND THE EXPECTATION OF LESS HEAT...THE HWO WILL BE KEPT CLEAR IN THE EXTENDED. /BB/ && .AVIATION... ANY STORMS COULD EASILY PRODUCE STRONG GUSTY WINDS OF 50KTS...MAINLY IMPACTING THE HIGHWAY 84 CORRIDOR UNTIL SUNSET. PATCHY FOG DEVELOPMENT WILL AGAIN OCCUR TUESDAY MORNING AND THIS MAY BRING MVFR CONDITIONS TILL 13-14Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
