The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
An unseasonably strong cold front came through the region on July 2nd. Storms developed along the front, some of which brought damaging winds and some large hail. Behind the front, much cooler and drier air prevailed.
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 2, 9:49 AM CST, 5 hours 33 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 1049 AM CDT WED JUL 2 2014 .UPDATE... MORNING SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES FRONTAL ZONE DRAPED NEAR THE HWY 82 CORRIDOR IN THE NRN PARTS OF THE CWA. AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT MOVED THROUGH OVERNIGHT HAS DRIFTED INTO SRN MS AND ANOTHER WAS EVIDENT NEAR SHREVEPORT, LA MOVING TO THE SE. ALL OF THESE AND ANY OTHERS THAT DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON WILL SERVE AS FOCUS MECHANISMS FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT. MORNING REGIONAL SOUNDINGS INDICATES STEEP LAPSE RATES WHILE DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS NOT TOO STRONG OVERALL. HOWEVER...12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS INDICATES H5 UPPER S/WV OVER THE ARKLATEX EMBEDDED IN THE LARGE SCALE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES/MID MS VALLEY. THIS UPPER S/WV WILL ENHANCE MID-DEEP LAYER SHEAR OVER AREAS ALONG/NW OF A LINE FROM NATCHEZ TO MACON,MS LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. AS DEEP MIXING OCCURS TODAY...INVERTED-V TYPE SOUNDINGS WILL SUPPORT STRONG DOWNDRAFT POTENTIAL. MICROBURST POTENTIAL LOOKS FAIRLY HIGH TODAY WITH SBCAPES APPROACHING 3000-4000 J/KG...~1000 J/KG DCAPE...AND VERTICAL TOTALS AROUND 28-30 DEG C. IN THIS ENVIRONMENT....STRONG TO SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT LOOK POSSIBLE. THE AREAS WITH THE BEST EFFECTIVE SHEAR...~20-25KTS...LOOKS TO REMAIN ALONG/NW OF A LINE FROM NATCHEZ TO MACON, MS. THUS...SEVERE POTENTIAL REMAINS HIGHER IN THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS AND GRAPHICS/HWO LOOK ON TRACK. AREAS IN E/SE MS LOOK TO BE MORE PULSE/DIURNAL DRIVEN CONVECTION AS THESE ARE ON THE EDGE OF THE H5 UPPER HIGH. CAN'T RULE OUT A STRAY SEVERE STORM IN THESE AREAS BUT MORE SUFFICIENT SHEAR/SEVERE POTENTIAL LOOKS TO REMAIN OFF TO THE W/NW. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT STORMS WILL DEVELOP AFTER 19-20Z AND THE PREVIOUS MORNING OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL SERVE AS FOCUS FOR CONVECTION IN S/SE MS AND CURRENT BOUNDARY NEAR SHREVEPORT WILL SERVE AS FOCUS FOR STORMS IN THE W...ALONG WITH THE FRONT SLOWLY DRIFTING TO THE S. INCREASED POPS IN THE SE DUE TO HRRR INDICATING MORE POTENTIAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. ALSO INCREASED FROM THE NW/SE DUE TO H925 MOISTURE GRADIENT TO THE N...INDICATIVE OF STORMS DEVELOPING IN THE NW AND MOVING SE IN THE NW FLOW ALOFT...WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY THE HRRR. FOR FORECAST ELEMENTS...HIGHS LOOK ON TRACK OVERALL BUT SLIGHTLY TWEAKED HIGHS WITH WARMER TEMPS IN STORE FOR E/SE MS. IT WILL ALSO BE A HOT AND HUMID AFTERNOON WITH HEAT INDICES PEAKING JUST OVER 100 DEGREES AT MOST AREAS...ESPECIALLY IN E/SE MS. OVERALL...ADJUSTED HOURLY TEMPS/DEWPOINTS/SKY COVER TO CURRENT TRENDS. REST OF THE FORECAST IS ON TRACK. /DC/ && .AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS LATE THIS MORNING. OTHERWISE ANTICIPATE SEVERAL CLOUDS LAYERS THROUGH THE DAY WITH LOWEST HEIGHTS MAINLY 3 TO 4 KFT. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE MIDDAY THROUGH EARLY EVENING IN ALL AREAS BY BETTER CHANCES OF STORMS WILL BE LATE THIS AFTERNOON IN EARLY EVENING AT GLH/GWO/CBM/GTR/TVR. IN THESE LATTER AREAS STORMS PRODUCING MICROBURSTS AND HIGH LEVELS OF TURBULENCE WILL BE POSSIBLE. WINDS TODAY WILL BE FROM THE NORTHWEST...GENERALLY LESS THAN 10 KTS AWAY FROM THUNDERSTORMS. /17/BB/ && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 415 AM CDT WED JUL 2 2014/ SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY SET TO SLOWLY PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS IS MAKING FOR A SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT SHORT TERM FORECAST...BUT CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ITS PASSAGE THROUGH THE ARKLAMISS WILL EVENTUALLY BRING WIDESPREAD PLEASANT CONDITIONS BY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. BUT...FOR TODAY...WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PROSPECT OF THIS INCOMING BOUNDARY LATE IN THE DAY TRIGGERING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN MAINLY NORTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES. PREVIOUS SHIFT INTRODUCED LIMITED RISK OF SEVERE STORMS IN THE HWO FOR AREAS ROUGHLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE...MAINLY DUE TO DAMAGING WIND GUST POTENTIAL. THIS ASSESSMENT STILL LOOKS BASICALLY ON TRACK WITH ONLY MINOR SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL ADJUSTMENTS. DEBATED COVERING THE WHOLE REGION WITH THIS RISK BECAUSE ALL AREAS WILL BE IN A HIGH LAPSE RATE ENVIRONMENT THIS AFTERNOON WITH PLENTY OF DCAPE TO ENHANCE MICROBURST POTENTIAL FROM MOSTLY PULSE-TYPE STORM ACTIVITY. HOWEVER...EVEN WITH THE PROSPECT OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES PUSHING THROUGH SOUTHEAST MS THIS AFTERNOON DEPTH OF MOISTURE ISSUES AND LINGERING THERMAL CAPPING WILL LIKELY KEEP ACTIVITY THERE VERY ISOLATED. IT IS NEAR THE INCOMING FRONTAL ZONE LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING THAT MOISTURE SHOULD POOL SUFFICIENTLY AND CAPPING ERODE ENOUGH TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN 20 TO 30 PERCENT COVERAGE OF STORMS. OTHERWISE FOR TODAY ANTICIPATE MOSTLY TO PARTLY SUNNY SKIES AND HIGHS SLIGHTLY HOTTER THAN YESTERDAY (ALTHOUGH STILL BELOW MAVMOS INFLATED EXPECTATIONS). PEAK HEAT INDICES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE CENTURY MARK. THIS EVENING GENERAL MODEL CONSENSUS HAS BEST POOLING OF DEEP MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE FROM THE ARKLATEX BACK EAST THROUGH FAR NORTHERN LA. A LOOSE CLUSTER OF STORMS COULD GENERATE HERE WITH AT LEAST SOME OF THE ACTIVITY BLEEDING OVER INTO WEST-CENTRAL ZONES THROUGH AT LEAST MIDNIGHT. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT POTENTIAL FOR ANY MARGINALLY SEVERE ACTIVITY SHOULD END IN THE EVENING WITH NOT ENOUGH UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT OR LOW LEVEL JET INFLUENCE TO KEEP SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY GOING THROUGH THE WHOLE NIGHT. THE BACK END OF THE SOMEWHAT DISJOINTED FRONTAL ZONE SHOULD PUSH DOWN TO THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR BY DAYBREAK ALLOWING LOWS UP THERE BY THURSDAY MORNING TO PROBABLY DROP INTO THE UPPER 60S. ELSEWHERE...LOWS SHOULD BE IN THE MUGGY LOW TO MID 70S AGAIN. WEAK FRONTAL LIFT WILL MIGRATE SLOWLY SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION ON THURSDAY...AND LIKELY BE IN A POSITION TO TRIGGER ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS SOUTH OF I-20 BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS THE ATMOSPHERE THERE HEATS AND DESTABILIZES. THE LATEST EURO MODEL IS MORE BULLISH WITH THIS ACTIVITY IN SOUTHERN ZONES AND IT IS POSSIBLE POPS IN LATER FORECASTS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON MAY HAVE TO BE INCREASED IN SOUTHERN ZONES OVER WHAT I AM CURRENTLY ADVERTISING. AT LEAST SOME STRONG STORMS WITH BRIEF GUSTY WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS BUT AT THIS TIME POTENTIAL FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN A STRAY SEVERE STORM LOOKING TOO LOW TO MENTION IN THE HWO DUE TO LESSER LAPSE RATES AND DCAPE POTENTIAL THAN WILL BE THE CASE THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN RATHER HOT AND HUMID IN SOUTHERN ZONES AWAY FROM RAIN THURSDAY...BUT THE FURTHER NORTH YOU GO IN THE FORECAST AREA THE MORE TOLERABLE CONDITIONS SHOULD BE WITH HUMIDITY DECREASING AND HIGHS LIKELY REMAINING BELOW 90 DEGREES IN MANY AREAS NORTH OF I-20. THURSDAY NIGHT SHOULD SEE THE ENTIRE FRONTAL ZONE SLIPPING DOWN TOWARD THE COAST WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR INFILTRATING SOUTH THROUGH THE WHOLE CWA BY FRIDAY MORNING. LOWS BY THIS TIME SHOULD GENERALLY RANGE FROM 60 TO 65 DEGREES WITH RECORDS IN THE BALLPARK AT GREENWOOD AND TVR OBSERVING SITES. /BB/ LONG TERM...INDEPENDENCE DAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY...4TH OF JULY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY LOOKS QUITE PLEASANT FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES WITH REDUCED HUMIDITY AND BELOW NORMAL LOW TEMPERATURES WITH PLENTY OF SUN. UPWARD MODERATING TEMPERATURES AND 20-40% CHANCE OF SHOWERS/TSTORMS LOOK TO OCCUR SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY. 4TH OF JULY SYNOPTIC PATTERN WILL FEATURE A LONGWAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS THAT EXTENDS ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY WHILE DIRECTING TROPICAL CYCLONE ARTHUR NEAR CAPE HATTERAS AND RIDGING RETROGRADING WEST INTO TEXAS. 1-2 SD BELOW NORMAL H925 TEMPS WILL COMBINE WITH NEAR ALL TIME LOW PWATS /0.5-0.7"/ FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR TO YIELD NEAR 10F BELOW NORMAL LOWS WITH SOME NORTHERN SITES FLIRTING WITH RECORD LOWS BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNING AS TEMPS FALL INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S. FULL SUN DURING FRI-SAT WILL WARM TEMPS BACK INTO UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90F. LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNS SLOWLY BACK AROUND SUNDAY TO SE/S ALLOWING DEEPER MOISTURE TO EDGE NORTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN ZONES AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGING SLOWLY REESTABLISHES ITSELF ACROSS ATLANTIC INTO GOM TRYING TO LINK WITH RIDGING IN SW CONUS. HOWEVER CONTINUED H5 NRN STREAM TROUGHING KEEPS RIDGE CONNECTION LINK BROKEN AND WITH A PROGGED UPPER TROPOSPHERIC TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER SW GOM, THE ARKLAMISS LOOKS TO BE IN A COL OR SADDLE POINT MONDAY. BETTER DIVERGENCE ALOFT MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO OCCUR WITH INCREASED H25 FLOW AROUND UPPER TROUGH WITH SE SFC-H7 FLOW BRINGING IN NEAR 2" PWATS BY WEDNESDAY. THESE FACTORS ALONG WITH INSTABILITY WILL COMBINE TO INCREASE CONVECTION COVERAGE EACH DAY IN THE 20-40% RANGE INCREASING THROUGH MID NEXT WEEK. FOR WEATHER ELEMENTS...MEXMOS TEMPS WERE GENERALLY ACCEPTED WITH SLIGHT TWEAKS UP TO LOWS GIVEN WET GROUND MODERATION BUT STILL CLOSE TO RECORD LOWS AND MEXPOPS WERE REDUCED FRI/SAT TO NEAR NIL. /ALLEN/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
