The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
Isolated severe storms developed across portions of southwest Mississippi during the late afternoon and early evening hours along and ahead of a slow moving, weak cold front coming from the northwest. The storms produced some wind damage in the form of blown down trees and power lines. There was also some isolated flash flooding in Adams County northwest of Natchez.
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 Aug 10, 3:01 PM CST, 54 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 401 PM CDT FRI AUG 10 2012 .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS ONGOING WITH INCREASING COVERAGE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. LATEST VIS SAT REVEALING MANY LINEAR CUMULUS CONGESTUS BANDS ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL MS EXTENDING SW INTO SE AR/NE LA AS A SLOWLY MOVING COOL FRONT IS POSITIONED ALONG A RUSTON, LA TO CLARKSDALE TO CORINTH, MS LINE. LATEST SFC OBS AND VIS SAT ALSO INDICATE SFC LOW PRESENT ACROSS N MS ALONG WITH NWP DEPICTING 25-35 KT EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR. THIS LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE COUPLED WITH MUCAPE VALUES ~3000 J/KG AND UPPER-LVL FLOW WILL SUPPORT SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. MAIN RISKS CONTINUE TO BE DAMAGING WINDS OF 60 MPH, QUARTER SIZED HAIL, FREQUENT LIGHTNING, AND HEAVY RAINFALL. WITH DECENT UPPER-LVL FLOW, SOME LINEAR ORGANIZATION COULD OCCUR WITH THESE STORMS AND ENHANCE THE STRONG WIND RISK THROUGH EARLY EVENING FOR AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE. STORM ACTIVITY WILL PUSH SE AND DIMINISH IN STRENGTH THROUGH MID TO LATE EVENING WITH SOME STORMS POSSIBLY LINGERING ACROSS SW AREAS TOWARDS MIDNIGHT AS S/WV ENERGY LAGS ACROSS LA/TX. THE WEEKEND FORECAST HAS COME A BIT MORE INTO FOCUS BUT SOME QUESTIONS REMAIN. THE BIGGEST QUESTION IS: HOW FAR/FAST WILL THE COOL FRONT PUSH SOUTHWARD? THE GFS HAS BEEN THE MOST BULLISH, YET PERSISTENT ON BRINGING THE FRONT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE ARKLAMISS BY MID-DAY DAY SATURDAY. THE NAM AND NEW EC CONTINUE TO HOLD THE FRONT UP ACROSS THE I-20 CORRIDOR THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE SREF PROBS FOR THE 65F ISODROSOTHERM LOCATION IS SPLIT INTO NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CAMPS. HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE MEAN ENSEMBLE APPROACH THIS PACKAGE. STATING THAT...SOME ISOLATED GENERAL THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR POSSIBLE ACROSS SRN AREAS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS REMAINING DRY, COOLER, WITH MORE COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY VALUES. BY LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY MORNING...ANOTHER DEEP S/WV IS PROGGED TO DROP OUT OF THE UPPER MS VLY...ALLOWING FOR MOISTURE TO RETURN BACK INTO THE REGION. GREATER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS LOOK TO BE ON TAP FOR MONDAY AFTN. FOR FORECAST ELEMENTS THIS PERIOD...DROPPED HIGHS 1-2F THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO THE CLOUD COVER AND GENERALLY FOLLOWED MAV GUIDANCE WITH 1-2F DROPS TO SATURDAY'S HIGHS. LOWS WERE MASSAGED TOWARDS ENSEMBLE MEAN WITH A SLIGHT GFS WEIGHT. SHOULD BE QUITE COMFORTABLE REGARDLESS, AS LOWS DROP AT LEAST THE MID 60S ON SUNDAY MRNG. /ALLEN/ && .AVIATION...VFR CLOUD LAYERS 3-6K FEET WILL DOMINATE THE AREA THROUGH 02Z AHEAD OF A WEAKENING FRONTAL ZONE PUSHING THROUGH THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR. LIGHT SWLY SURFACE FLOW OF 6-11KTS WILL SLOWLY BECOME WNW...THEN NWLY LESS THAN 8KTS TONIGHT AND NLY 6-10KTS SATURDAY MORNING. ISOLATED/LOCALLY SCATTERED TSRA AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL ZONE SHOULD INCREASE THROUGH EARLY EVENING ACROSS THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY CORRIDOR BEFORE DRYING OFF ABOUT 01-03Z. THE OVERALL VFR CONDITIONS MAY BE INTERRUPTED LATE TONIGHT IN PATCHY FOG 08-13Z BUT RESUME BY 14Z SATURDAY FOLLOWED BY ONLY A SCATTERING OF CLOUD LAYERS ABOVE 5K FEET 17-23Z. /40/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
