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 Jul 14, 2:36 PM CST, 4 hours 2 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 336 PM CDT MON JUL 14 2014 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...COLD FRONT POISED TO DROP INTO THE DELTA TONIGHT BRINGING WITH IT INCREASED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. PWATS WILL CLIMB ABOVE 2.1 INCHES ALONG THE BOUNDARY AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. WITH MEAGER LAPSE RATES AND LIMITED INSTABILITY EXPECT THE STORMS TO REMAIN BELOW SEVERE CRITERIA...BUT AN ISOLATED STRONG STORM IS POSSIBLE. ALSO WITH THE ABUNDANT MOISTURE HEAVY RAINFALL AND PONDING OF WATER IS POSSIBLE...BUT EXPECT STORM MOTIONS TO PRECLUDE FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL. THE FRONT WILL EXTEND FROM NEAR MERIDIAN TO NATCHEZ BY LATE MORNING WITH ONGOING SHOWERS LIKELY. WITH AFTERNOON HEATING EXPECT AN INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY IN THE SOUTHEAST DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...BUT ONCE AGAIN EXPECT THESE STORMS TO REMAIN BELOW SEVERE CRITERIA. THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO TREK SOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND WILL BE SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA BY LATE AFTERNOON. THERE COULD BE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE SOUTHEAST DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...BUT EXPECT THE ACTIVITY TO DISSIPATE QUICKLY BY SUNSET. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING AND MUCH DRIER AIR WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE BOUNDARY FOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WITH PWATS FALLING BELOW .75 INCHES OVER THE ENTIRE AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. EXPECT WEDNESDAY TO BE A PLEASANT DAY WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE MID/UPPER 80S AND LOW HUMIDITY. EXPECT WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO BE CLEAR AND UNSEASONABLY COOL WITH LOWS FALLING INTO THE UPPER 50S AND LOW 60S WITH COUPLE OF SITES POSSIBLY APPROACHING NEAR RECORD LOWS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST PAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SO WILL ATTACH THE PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION BELOW./15/ .PREVIOUS LONG TERM...A COOLER DRIER AIRMASS WILL RESIDE OVER THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT. UNFORTUNATELY THIS WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS MOISTURE BEGINS TO INCREASE LATE THURSDAY AND OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. A SHORTWAVE WILL SWING EAST ACROSS THE NATION'S MID-SECTION AND LIFT NORTH INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL SEND A WEAK SURFACE LOW AND FRONT INTO THE REGION WHERE IT'S CURRENTLY PROGGED BY MODELS TO HANG UP OVER THE FORECAST AREA...WITH NORTHWEST FLOW FORECAST TO PREVAIL ALOFT ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. THIS SCENARIO WILL BRING RAIN CHANCES BACK INTO THE FORECAST FROM LATE THURSDAY AND AT LEAST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...NEXT MONDAY. TEMPERATURES DURING THE PERIOD WILL AGAIN BEGIN ON THE COOL SIDE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH UPPER 50S TO MID 60S FOR LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...AS MOISTURE INCREASES...TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB BACK INTO THE LOWER 90S EACH AFTERNOON HEADING INTO AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH LOWS EACH NIGHT STRUGGLING TO FALL OUT OF THE MIDDLE 70S. AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL LIKELY PLAY A ROLE IN KEEPING HIGHS DOWN A BIT FROM THE CURRENT FORECASTED HIGHS...BUT OVERALL HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY. /19/ && .AVIATION...FEW AFTERNOON TSRA HAVE POPPED YUP IN THE FAR SOUTH BUT AT THIS POINT KHBG LOOKS TO BE ONLY IMPACT. EXPECT INCREASING RISK FOR AT LEAST MVFR CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP AT NORTHERN TAFS LATER TONIGHT AS PREFRONTAL SHRA/TSRA MOVE IN...AND THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD SPREAD SOUTH THROUGH TUE AM. WINDS WILL COME AROUND TO THE WEST AND THEN EVENTUALLY NORTH AS FRONT SHIFTS ACROSS REGION. /AEG/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
