A series of complex weather systems affected the ArkLaMiss on February 11-12, 2014. A strong cold front moved through during the late afternoon to evening hours of February 9th, dropping temperatures from the mid to upper 60s into the mid 30s in the northwest Delta to mid 40s along I-20 corridor to mid 50s in the southeast late Sunday night.

The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
A series of complex weather systems affected the ArkLaMiss on February 11-12, 2014. A strong cold front moved through during the late afternoon to evening hours of February 9th, dropping temperatures from the mid to upper 60s into the mid 30s in the northwest Delta to mid 40s along I-20 corridor to mid 50s in the southeast late Sunday night. Strong 1036mb surface high pressure continued to build into the northern and central Great Plains, aiding in northerly surface winds and colder air moving into the region. Temperatures by the evening of February 10th had fallen to near freezing in the ArkLaMiss Delta to mid 30s in the Interstate 20 corridor to low 40s in the far southeast. As temperatures continued to fall, the first upper disturbance began to moisten the atmosphere to bring potential for freezing precipitation mainly along and north of the Interstate 20 corridor.
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 Feb 10, 10:22 PM CST, 3 hours 38 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1022 PM CST MON FEB 10 2014
.DISCUSSION...RUNNING A BIT LATE WITH THE UPDATE THIS EVENING...AS
WE HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE AS MUCH OF THE 00Z MODEL DATA AS
POSSIBLE. WE DID MAKE ONE ADJUSTMENT TO HEADLINES TO EXPAND THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO INCLUDE CLAIBORNE...NEWTON AND LAUDERDALE
COUNTIES. IT COULD BE A CLOSE CALL WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE
SOUTHERNMOST ADVISORY GROUPING...BUT THE 21Z SREF FREEZING RAIN
PROBS JUMPED UP A TICK FARTHER TO THE SOUTH WITH MEAN QPF GREATER
THAN 1/2 INCH NOW NORTH OF I-20. LATEST RAP SURFACE TEMPS ADD
CONFIDENCE TO THIS FORECAST...SHOW THE FREEZING LINE DIPPING INTO
THESE AREAS AROUND DAYBREAK. THIS GAVE US ENOUGH CONCERN TO ADD A
FEW MORE COUNTIES TO THE ADVISORY.
NO CHANGES WILL BE MADE TO THE REMAINDER OF THE CURRENT WSW
CONFIGURATION. THERE ARE SOME HINTS IN THE 00Z GUIDANCE THAT QPF MAY
BE MORE LIMITED THAN ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED ACROSS FAR NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA...BUT WE WILL WAIT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NEW
GUIDANCE SUITE TO COME IN TO GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THE SITUATION
BEFORE CONSIDERING FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS.
WILL ALSO BACK OFF A BIT ON SNOW WORDING IN THE WX GRIDS TONIGHT
INTO TOMORROW MORNING. BUFR SOUNDINGS AND SREF PROBS SHOW MUCH MORE
IN THE WAY OF SLEET POTENTIAL FOR THIS FIRST ROUND OF PRECIP...WITH
SNOW REMAINING MAINLY ALONG THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF THE CWA. UPDATES
WILL BE SENT SHORTLY. /DL/
&&
.AVIATION...MVFR CEILINGS WILL DOMINATE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE AERODROME WHERE WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN WILL CONTINUE
AND KEEP VISIBILITIES AT MAINLY MVFR AS WELL. ISOLATED IFR CEILINGS
AND VISIBILITIES WILL BRIEFLY OCCUR AT THESE LOCATION WHERE
RAINFALL CAN BECOME LOCALLY HEAVY. OVER THE NORTHERN AREODROME TAF
POINTS...A MIXED BAG OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION...INCLUDING
ZR...IP...AND SN WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE PERIOD REDUCING THE
VISIBILITIS TO MVFR BUT ALLOWING CEILINGS TO REMAIN VFR THROUGH
12Z...LOWERING TO MVFR THEREAFTER./26/
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 524 PM CST MON FEB 10 2014/
WINTER STORM STILL ON TRACK FOR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS...
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...A SHORTWAVE TROUGH NOTED IN WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY IS APPROACHING THE ARKLATEX REGION AND IS FORECAST TO
CONTINUE TO MOVING EAST. AHEAD OF THIS WAVE WE ARE SEEING BACKING OF
LOW LEVEL FLOW WITH SUBSTANTIAL LOW LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION ABOVE A
SHALLOW POLAR AIRMASS. WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IS STILL ANTICIPATED
OVER THE ENTIRE ARKLAMISS TONIGHT...WITH THE GENERAL IDEA FOR HEAVIER
QPF ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR AFTER MIDNIGHT WHEN UPPER
JET ENTRANCE REGION DYNAMICS WILL BE BEST.
MEANWHILE...VERY COLD AIR IS FUNNELING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE LOWER MS
VALLEY REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND MODELS HAVE STRUGGLED TO KEEP UP
WITH THE COOLING IN THE ARKLAMISS. IN FACT...TEMPERATURES NEVER
EXCEED 32F IN NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE DELTA REGION...AND AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 30S WERE OBSERVED AS FAR SOUTH AS THE I-20
CORRIDOR IN NE LA. THIS IS FURTHER REFLECTED IN COOLER FORECAST
GUIDANCE FOR LATER TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING AND HAVE TRENDED
COOLER IN THE FORECAST ACCORDINGLY.
AS HAS BEEN INDICATED THE PAST FEW DAYS...THE GREATEST RISK FOR UP TO
ONE TO TWO INCHES OF SNOW/SLEET WILL BE ALONG THE HWY 82 CORRIDOR
WITH ADDITIONAL ICE ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE THERE AS WELL. FARTHER
SOUTH...A PRONOUNCED WARM LAYER ALOFT WILL LEAD TO SUBSTANTIAL
FREEZING RAIN IN AREAS WHERE THE TEMPERATURE CAN FALL BELOW FREEZING
LATER TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. IT APPEARS THE COMBINATION OF
PRECIPITATION AND COLD AIR (GREATEST SUB-FREEZING DURATION) WILL
MAXIMIZE OVER NE LA INTO WEST CENTRAL MS AFTER MIDNIGHT AND LAST
INTO TUESDAY MORNING. IN THIS AREA...STILL EXPECT THAT TOTAL ICE
ACCUMULATION BY WEDNESDAY COULD EXCEED ONE INCH. HAVE EXTENDED THE
WARNING SOUTH OVER NE LA INCLUDING FRANKLIN/MADISON PARISHES. HEAVY
ICE POTENTIAL WILL EXTEND EASTWARD FROM THERE ROUGHLY ALONG THE 33RD
PARALLEL INTO EAST CENTRAL MS WHERE AMOUNTS OF A QUARTER TO HALF INCH
WILL BE POSSIBLE LIKELY TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING...AND HAVE
EXTENDED THE WARNING AREA SOUTHWARD INTO WINSTON/NOXUBEE COUNTIES.
HIGHER AMOUNTS COULD DEVELOP THERE IF MORE FREEZING RAIN OCCURS
TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT WE ARE NOT QUITE AS CONFIDENT OF THAT HAPPENING
ATTM.
FARTHER SOUTH...IT IS STILL A VERY TRICKY FORECAST FOR AREAS JUST
SOUTH OF THE WARNING WHERE CONFIDENCE IN THE FREEZING LINE FORECAST
IS NOT GREAT...THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR AREAS GENERALLY ALONG A
JACKSON TO DEKALB LINE. ONE THING WE HAVE NOTICED THOUGH AS MENTIONED
EARLIER...GUIDANCE HAS TRENDED COOLER OVERALL AS IT STRUGGLES TO KEEP
UP WITH LATEST OBSERVED TRENDS. THIS STRUGGLE COULD CONTINUE RIGHT UP
UNTIL DAYBREAK...BUT FOR NOW HAVE CONTINUED TO FOLLOW COOLER TREND IN
THE FORECAST AND HAVE EXTENDED THE FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY A LITTLE
FARTHER SOUTH AND INDICATED SLIGHTLY MORE POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING
ICE IN THIS AREA. IT APPEARS THE 600 TO 900 AM TIME FRAME WILL BE
WHEN COOLING MAXIMIZES IN THE ADVISORY AREA.
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL STILL BE A POSSIBILITY OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE ARKLAMISS AND HAVE CONTINUED THE MENTION OF THIS RISK. DEPENDING
ON HOW MUCH RAIN FALLS TONIGHT...WE MAY NEED TO INCREASE THE WORDING
FOR HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING TUESDAY NIGHT GIVEN SOME OF THE HEAVIER QPF
SHOWING UP THEN.
LOOKING AHEAD TO TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...AS MENTIONED IN
PREVIOUS DAYS HAVE CONTINUED TO EMPHASIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR
REDEVELOPMENT OF FREEZING RAIN AS THE NEXT STRONGER SHORTWAVE TROUGH
QUICKLY APPROACHES. GIVEN THAT TEMPERATURES MAY NOT RISE ABOVE
FREEZING OVER NE LA TUESDAY DUE TO CLOUD COVER AND DEVELOPING PRECIP
IN THE AFTERNOON...IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT SIGNIFICANT FREEZING RAIN AND
ADDITIONAL ICE ACCUMULATION CAN BE EXPECTED...PERHAPS EXTENDING
EASTWARD INTO NORTH CENTRAL MS. HAVE EXTENDED THE WINTER STORM
WARNING FOR TUESDAY NIGHT IN HIGHEST CONFIDENCE AREA. IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT AN ADVISORY COULD BE REQUIRED FOR OTHER AREAS BUT CONFIDENCE TOO
LOW TO ISSUE RIGHT NOW.
AS WE GO INTO WEDNESDAY...THERE IS INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR A
DEFORMATION AXIS TO SET UP WITH SNOW POTENTIAL INCREASING
PERHAPS...PARTICULARLY OVER NORTH CENTRAL INTO NORTHEAST MS.
THIS IS BASED ON MODEL TRENDS OF NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH DIGGING
SOUTHWARD...MORE ON THIS LATER. /EC/
LATE WEEK INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...
AFTER WEDNESDAY EVENING THE FORECAST FOR THE LONG TERM PERIOD GETS
MUCH LESS COMPLICATED AND FEATURES A GRADUAL WARMING TREND MOST
PROMINENTLY. LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL OF COURSE BE CHILLY IN THE
WAKE OF THE WINTER WEATHER EVENT...BUT AFTER THAT POINT THE AMOUNT OF
BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FOR THE REGION IS VERY LIMITED
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
THE WARMING TREND IS THE RESULT OF LARGE SCALE WEATHER PATTERN
CHANGES AFOOT FOR NORTH AMERICA...MOST NOTABLY THE LOSS OF
CONSIDERABLE AMPLIFICATION IN THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN. THIS
CHANGE WILL LIMIT POTENTIAL FOR ARCTIC SURGES INTO THE DEEP
SOUTH...ALTHOUGH THIS DOES NOT MEAN COLD FRONTS ARE A THING OF THE
PAST. ONE SUCH COLD FRONT LOOKS TO PASS THROUGH FRIDAY WITH VERY
LITTLE TO NO PRECIP ANTICIPATED. EURO MODEL ACTUALLY A LITTLE
STOUTER THAN THE OP GFS WITH THE TEMPORARY COOL DOWN BEHIND THE
FRONT AND I TRENDED MEXMOS TEMPS THAT DIRECTION. NEXT SHOT AT
SIGNIFICANT RAIN SHOULD COME AT THE START OF NEXT WEEK. /BB/
