The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.

NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Dec 25, 4:57 AM CST, 4 hours 33 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 457 AM CST FRI DEC 25 2015 .SHORT TERM... CHRISTMAS MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING... ANOTHER STORMY DAY IS ON TAP FOR TODAY AS LARGE SCALE SW ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND STRONG LOW/DEEP LAYER ARE STILL IN THE REGION. WV IMAGERY INDICATES S/WV THAT WILL BRING OUR CHANCES FOR ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS MOVING INTO ERN TX/WRN LA AND WILL CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE TOWARDS THE REGION. UPPER AIR ANALYSIS INDICATES THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE WRN ATLANTIC IS STRENGTHENING AND BUILDING W...HELPING TO INCREASE H5 HEIGHTS IN OUR AREA. LOW LEVEL SRLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT A WARM AND HUMID CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGION. RIGHT NOW SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE ONGOING ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA WHILE RIGHT ALONG THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE DELTA EFFICIENT LIFT/MOISTURE TRANSPORT IS ONGOING AND WILL CONTINUE. ENSEMBLE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS TABLE IS INDICATING ANOMALOUS MOISTURE...PER THE NAEFS/GEFS...MOVING THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY IN N/NE MS. WOULD NOT RULE OUT SOME LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING IN AREAS WHERE STORMS CAN TRAIN AND MORE EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES OCCUR. ALSO EXPANDED THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS TODAY AS 30-40KTS 0-3KM BULK SHEAR AND AGAIN 1500-2000 J/KG OF MLCAPE. THIS WITH EFFICIENT LAPSE RATES APPROACHING 6.5-7.0 DEG C/KM WILL PROMOTE STRONG UPDRAFTS AND POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL. A LOT OF THE HI- RES ARW/NMM/ARW INDICATE THERE COULD BE SOME OF THE ACTIVITY IN THE N TO GRADUALLY MOVE E AND SOME ORGANIZED BOWS TO DEVELOP. THUS THIS AREA COULD SEE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER WITH SOME SOME THREAT EXTENDING FURTHER S. ANOTHER THING TO NOTE IS WITH NEAR RECORD LOW LEVEL TEMPS...EXPECT ANOTHER NEAR OR ABOVE RECORD HIGHS TODAY. MODELS SEEM TO BE STRUGGLING SOMEWHAT WITH LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS...WHICH SEEMED TO BE THE CASE YESTERDAY WHERE WARM AND HUMID BOUNDARY LAYER OUTWEIGHED ANY HEIGHT RISES THAT WERE OCCURRING...WHICH LED TO SEVERE STORMS AND SOME WERE VERY EFFICIENT HAIL PRODUCERS. WITH CLOCKWISE CURVING HODOGRAPHS AND MID/DEEP LAYER SHEAR IN PLACE...COULD NOT RULE OUT A TORNADO BUT SEEING SURGES IN HI-RES GUIDANCE AND FLOW SOMEWHAT PARALLEL TO BOUNDARY...EXPECT WINDS/HAIL AND FLASH FLOODING TO BE MORE LIKELY. FLASH FLOODING COULD DEFINITELY BE A CONCERN TODAY IN AS HI-RES NSSL WRF INDICATES SOME PRETTY HIGH TOTALS IN N/NE MS AS MOISTURE FEEDS IN FROM THE S. EXPECT ANOTHER HUMID NIGHT TONIGHT AS LOWS WILL NOT BE MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THIS MORNING. RAIN CHANCES WILL SLOWLY LESSEN TONIGHT BUT WITH MOISTURE STILL LINGERING AROUND...COULD NOT RULE OUT SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE AREA OVERNIGHT. HEIGHTS WILL BE SOMEWHAT STABLE TO POSSIBLY RISING SOME AND LOW/MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL BE WARMING INTO TOMORROW SO EXPECT ANOTHER WARM AND POSSIBLY RECORD DAY IN STORE AGAIN SATURDAY. LUCKILY STORM CHANCES WILL BE LESSENING AS WARMING MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL LESSEN LAPSE RATES AND OVERALL INSTABILITY. STILL AGAIN COULD NOT RULE OUT SOME STORMS MAYBE STRONG BUT EXPECT ANY COVERAGE TO NOT BE NEARLY AS MUCH AS ON FRIDAY. STRONG 597DM H5 UPPER RIDGE OVER THE ATLANTIC WILL SLOWLY FLATTEN AND BUILD BACK NW AS THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE WRN CONUS GRADUALLY BECOMES CUT OFF AS A STRONG UPPER JET CUTS OFF THE FLOW TO THE DEVELOPING UPPER LOW TO THE S. THIS WILL HELP DEVELOP A CUTOFF LOW OVER THE FAR SRN PLAINS SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WHICH WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE ISENTROPIC LIFT BACK AGAIN AND BEGIN SOME HEIGHT FALLS IN THE AREA BEGINNING SUNDAY. THIS WILL HELP DEVELOP A LOW IN SRN/CENTRAL TX AND STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE TO OUR W WITH EXTREMELY EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES DUE TO ANOMALOUS MOISTURE AND FLOODING ISSUES LIKELY IN THE OZARKS. OUR AREA WILL GRADUALLY BRING IN MORE RAIN CHANCES IN THE WEST. WITH LESS LAPSE RATES...EXPECT SOME LIGHT SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR NW WITH SHOWERS ELSEWHERE. /DC/ .LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MAIN FOCUS IN THE LONG TERM REMAINS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. SUNDAY MORNING A LARGE CLOSED LOW WILL BE NEAR THE TEXAS BIG BEND REGION WITH AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW NEAR THE TEXAS/MEXICO BORDER. OUR CWA WILL HAVE A SLIGHTLY DRIER AIRMASS EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BUT PWATS WL POOL AROUND 1.80IN WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. BUFR SOUNDINGS INDICATE A FAIRLY FORMIDABLE CAP OVER OUR CWA INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON WHICH SHOULD LIMIT CONVECTION AND HELP TEMPERATURES WARM WELL ABOVE NORMAL AGAIN. MOST SITES SHOULD REACH THE UPPER 70S. RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE OVER OUR WEST SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS THE CLOSED LOW MOVES EAST OVER CENTRAL TEXAS. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER OUR WESTERN MOST ZONES BUT THE MAIN TIMING FOR SEVERE STORMS IS EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. THE CLOSED LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEAST TO THE ARKLATEX REGION BY MONDAY MORNING THEN CONTINUE NORTHEAST TO THE MIS MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY BY MONDAY EVENING. THIS WILL SEND A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR CWA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. A SQUALL LINE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR OR JUST AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND ENCOUNTER AN ENVIRONMENT WITH MLCAPES AT LEAST 500-1000J/KG...0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF 45-50KTS AND 0-3KM SREH AROUND 300M2/S2. DAMAGING WINDS LOOK TO BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH A FEW TORNADOES AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE AS WELL. MODEL CONSENSUS SUGGESTS THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL END A LITTLE FASTER MONDAY THAN THE THINKING LAST NIGHT. DRY SLOTTING SHOULD END MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT RAIN BY NOON MONDAY BUT LIGHT PCPN WL REMAIN POSSIBLE UNTIL THE CLOSED LOW MOVES A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH MONDAY EVENING. COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR IS EXPECTED TO BE BACK OVER OUR CWA TUESDAY. TUESDAY MORNING LOWS WILL BE BACK IN THE 40S WITH HIGHS TUESDAY MOSTLY IN THE 50S. TUESDAY WILL BE DRY AS THE CLOSED LOW SYSTEM TRACKS FARTHER NORTHEAST OF OUR CWA BUT OUR WINDS ALOFT WILL BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF A SECOND CLOSED LOW SWINGING OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT AND OPEN THE LOW AND SWINGS A TROUGH ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS WEDNESDAY. MOISTURE RETURN WILL BE LIMITED WITH THIS TROUGH BUT BOTH MODELS GENERATE LIGHT QPF ACROSS OUR REGION WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THURSDAY WILL BE COOL AND DRY ACROSS OUR REGION. /22/ && .AVIATION...MVFR/IFR CIGS ARE ACROSS MOST OF THE TAF SITES. EXPCT SHRA TO CONTINUE THIS MORNING ACROSS REGION WHILE MORE TSRA IS EXPCTD TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TODAY...NEAR KGLH AROUND 10-14Z...KGWO/KHKS AROUND 15-18Z AND KGTR AROUND 21-00Z. CIGS WILL IMPROVE AT MOST AREAS TODAY WHILE SOME COULD HAVE BRIEF IFR CIGS IN TSRA. WINDS WILL BE PREDOMINATELY FROM THE S AROUND 7-10KTS. /DC/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
