The combination of a strong upper disturbance and a weak surface front brought strong thunderstorms to the region. These storms produced a mix of thunderstorm wind damage and some isolated reports of flash flooding.

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 9, 9:31 AM CST, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 1031 AM CDT SAT AUG 9 2014 .UPDATE...VISIBLE IMAGERY INDICATING A CHAOTIC SKY OVER N MS THIS MORNING IN ADVANCE OF CONVECTION OVER AR/W TN. WHILE WET MICROBURST CHECKLIST IS ONLY INDICATING A RISK FOR THIS AFTERNOON...LOCAL WRF AND TO SOME EXTENT THE HRRR IS INDICATING SOME MICROBURST POTENTIAL. UPPED POPS TO LIKELY CATEGORY FOR EXPECTED INCREASED CCOVERAGE DUE TO ABUNDANT BOUNDARY INTERACTION. ALSO...INTRODUCED A LIMITED CONFIDENCE OF SEVERE IN THE HWO FOR THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA./26/ && .AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL THIS MORNING WITH TSRA COMPLEX DEVELOPING NOW OVER CNTRL AR. SCT/NUM TSRA SHOULD DEVELOP SOUTHEAST LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH PERIODIC MVFR AND BRIEF IFR POSSIBLE IF SITE IS DIRECTLY IMPACTED. VCTS TAF WORDING WORKS FOR NOW AND WILL AMEND AS NEEDED WHEN CONFIDENCE IN DIRECT IMPACT INCREASES. WINDS WILL BE W TO WNW GENERALLY LESS THEN 10 KT. WINDS COULD MORE GUSTY /UP TO 30-40 KT/ IF INVOF STRONGER TSRA. /ALLEN/ && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 502 AM CDT SAT AUG 9 2014/ DISCUSSION... ON THE SYNOPTIC SCALE THIS WEEKEND...THE ARKLAMISS WILL BE NEAR THE INTERFACE OF ACTIVE WESTERLIES TO THE NORTH AND A HOT SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CENTERED TO THE WEST. THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO HOT AND HUMID SENSIBLE WEATHER WITH GREATER CHANCES FOR MAINLY DIURNAL SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY AS THE PATTERN BEGINS TO AMPLIFY AND ALLOWS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO HAVE MORE INFLUENCE. WITH THAT SAID...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOWER THAN USUAL TODAY REGARDING CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION AND POSSIBLE MITIGATING EFFECTS ON HEAT STRESS. CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEBRIS OVER AR IS CIRCULATING AROUND THE RIDGE CENTER AND COULD HELP TO PROVIDE SOME DIFFERENTIAL HEATING LATER THIS MORNING FOR CONVECTIVE INITIATION. WRF/HRRR GUIDANCE ARE IN CONSIDERABLE DISAGREEMENT OVER HOW THINGS WILL PLAY OUT...AND NONE OF THE MODELS SEEM TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE CURRENT SCENARIO. BASED ON THE LATEST TRENDS...WILL PLAN TO FOLLOW THE IDEA OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING EARLIER OVER THE UPPER DELTA REGION INTO NORTH CENTRAL MS...WITH MULT-CELL STORM CLUSTERS/SEGMENTS INCREASING IN COVERAGE THE AFTERNOON. UPPER LEVEL WINDS ARE LIGHT AND IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE THE STORMS GETTING VERY ORGANIZED...BUT SHOULD BE ENOUGH LOW-MID LEVEL FLOW AND OUTFLOW DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW STORMS TO PROGRESS SOUTHWARD AS WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. MOREOVER...LOW LEVEL FLOW/THETA-E ADVECTION MAY ALLOW STORMS TO BACK-BUILD MORE THAN FORECAST. THIS COULD SLOW THE OVERALL SYSTEM SPEED AND INCREASE THE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. IN ANY CASE...STEEP LOW-MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WITH VERTICAL TOTALS ~27 WILL SUPPORT A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ESPECIALLY WHERE THE CONVECTION IS MORE DELAYED. EVEN WITH EARLIER CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TODAY...THE FORECAST TEMP/DEWPOINT COMBINATIONS YIELD HEAT INDICES NEAR 100-102 DEG F AT MOST PLACES. WHILE THIS IS A LITTLE LOW FOR MENTION IN THE HAZARD PRODUCTS...WE EXPECT GREATER HEAT STRESS TO RETURN SUNDAY SO WOULD RATHER KEEP CONTINUITY AND LEAVE IT GOING FOR TODAY. EXPECT CONVECTION TO DIMINISH THIS EVENING AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE REMAINS THE PRIMARY SYNOPTIC SCALE INFLUENCE FOR THE ARKLAMISS. ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS IS EXPECTED SUNDAY...BUT THERE HAS BEEN A TREND IN THE GUIDANCE FOR THIS ACTIVITY TO BE MORE FOCUSED OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. SIMILAR THERMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS TO SATURDAY WILL SUPPORT A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ONCE AGAIN. /EC/ FOR THE MED RANGE/LONG TERM (MON-SAT)...THE FORECAST FOCUS WILL BE ON THE ACTIVE CONVECTIVE PERIOD FOR MON/MON NGT AS THE REGION UNDERGOES A PATTERN CHANGE. BY MID WEEK...LOOK FOR A MORE QUIET REGIME WITH LOWER HUMIDITY BEFORE WARMER CONDITIONS RETURN BY NEXT WEEKEND. THE EVOLVING NW FLOW PATTERN FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK LOOKS TO BRING SOLID PRECIP CHANCES TO THE AREA FOR MON INTO MON NGT. THIS WILL BE AS DEEP MOISTURE POOLS IN ADVANCE OF A WEAK SFC FRONT AND AHEAD OF AN AMPLIFYING LONG WAVE TROUGH THAT WILL SETUP ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS THIS WEEK. SPECIFICS ON STORM TIMING REMAINS A CHALLENGE AS MODEL DIFFERENCES EXIST. THE NAM/EURO DEVELOP ACTIVITY EARLIER ON MON AND CONTINUE SOME SORT OF PRECIP INTO THE NIGHT. THE GFS DELAYS INITIATION UNTIL THE AFTERNOON WITH ACTIVITY LINGERING INTO MON NGT. THE MAIN ISSUE WITH THE DIFFERENCE SCENARIOS IS THE IMPACT ON HIGH TEMPS AND ULTIMATELY INSTABILITY. THE NAM/EURO HAVE MUCH LESS HOT CONDITIONS WITH READINGS AROUND 90 FORECAST FOR HIGHS. THE GFS IS THE HOTTER SOLUTION WITH 94-96. WITH SOME LINGERING EFFECTS OF THE RIDGE IN PLACE...I WILL LEAN MORE TOWARD THE GFS. THIS WILL RESULT IN A BETTER CHANCE FOR STRONG/SVR STORMS AS STRONGER SFC HEATING WILL RESULT IN HIGHER INSTABILITY. EVEN AS SOME CONFIDENCE EXISTS IN POTENTIAL FOR MON...WILL HOLD OFF ON ADDING GRAPHICS OR TEXT IN THE HWO AS THERE REMAINS STILL ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY TO JUMP ON THIS FOR DAY 3. THE NW FLOW PATTERN WILL REALLY TAKE HOLD OF THE REGION BY TUE WITH ALL MODELS SHOWING A WELL DEFINED MID LEVEL DRY PUSH MOVING SOUTH INTO THE AREA. THIS WILL SERVE TO HELP THE WEAK SFC FRONT TO MAY HEADWAY WELL INTO THE CWA ON TUE...THEN BRING SOME DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR IN ITS WAKE. PRECIP ACTIVITY ON TUE WILL MAINLY BE CONFINED TO THE SOUTH HALF AND MOST LIKELY EARLY IN THE DAY PERIOD. AS WE GO INTO AND THROUGH MID/LATE WEEK...THE NW FLOW PATTERN WILL RELAX AND RIDING LOOKS TO BUILD OVER THE LOWER MS RIVER VALLY INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT SOME NEAR NORMAL OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL HIGHS FOR WED/THU ALONG WITH LESS HUMID READINGS. BY FRI/SAT...A RETURN TO MORE NORMAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. /CME/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
