The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
Gusty southerly winds developed ahead of an approaching cold front. These winds downed some trees and caused other damage ahead of the storms. As the cold front moved through the region, some showers and sporadic wind gusts caused isolated damage.
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 Dec 13, 10:46 AM CST, 3 hours 14 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1046 AM CST SUN DEC 13 2015
.UPDATE...MADE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO WEATHER GRIDS BASED ON
LATEST TRENDS IN RADAR DATA. ALSO...LATEST HRRR DATA SHOWING SQUEEGEE
LINE OF CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS THE CWA LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING
AND PUSHING ALL ALONG OOUR NORTHERN TIER OF COOUNTIES. SOME
INTERESTING CONVECTIVE STRUCTURES...INCLUDING LINE BREAKS...ARE NOTED
IN THE HRRR OUTPUT. DESPITE LIMITED INSTABILITY OVER THE NORTH...WILL
EXTEND LIMITED RISK IN THE HWO INTO THESE AREAS AS FEEL SOME
CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS WILL APPROACH SEVERE STRENGTH WITH THE AMBIENT
FLOW SUCH THAT IT IS./26/
&&
.AVIATION...BROKEN MVFR CIGS ARE OBSERVED AT MOST SITES ACROSS THE
AREA AT MID-MORNING...BUT SHOULD LIFT TO MAINLY VFR BY MIDDAY DAY IN
MOST SPOTS. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE RATHER GUSTY, WITH GUSTS TO NEAR
30 KTS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA AND GUSTS TO AROUND 40 KT POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS DELTA. A SQUALL LINE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 50 KT
WIND WILL PUSH EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA FROM AROUND THE MS RIVER
NEAR SUNSET INTO ALABAMA BY MIDNIGHT. MVFR CIGS WILL RETURN ALONG
AND BEHIND THIS LINE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT (FROM WEST TO
EAST), WITH BRIEF VISBY REDUCTIONS TO LOWER CATEGORIES IN +RA. CIGS
WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE AT SOME TERMINALS BY DAYBREAK MONDAY. /DL/BB/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 424 AM CST SUN DEC 13 2015/
DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS
MORNING'S FORECAST IS WIND POTENTIAL WITH A STORM SYSTEM MOVING
ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT.
CONDITIONS REMAIN UNSEASONABLY MILD THIS EARLY MORNING AS STRONG
WARM ADVECTION PERSISTS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM.
REMARKABLY, TEMPS ARE CURRENTLY ABOVE NORMAL DAYTIME HIGHS FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR CWA-WIDE. SCATTERED LIGHT PREFRONTAL SHOWERS HAVE BEGUN
TO MOVE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE DELTA, BUT MOST AREAS REMAIN DRY AT
THIS TIME.
TAKING A LOOK AT THE WEATHER MAPS, AN OCCLUDING UPPER TROUGH AND
POTENT SHORTWAVE ARE MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS, AND AN
ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WAS MOVING ACROSS OK, WITH A COLD FRONT
TRAILING ACROSS CENTRAL TX. THROUGH TONIGHT, THE UPPER TROUGH/
SHORTWAVE WILL PIVOT ACROSS THE MISSOURI VALLEY TOWARD THE GREAT
LAKES, WITH THE SURFACE LOW FOLLOWING SUIT AND DRAGGING THE COLD
FRONT ACROSS OUR REGION.
AS THE FRONT APPROACHES TODAY, THE SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
INCREASE, AS WILL AMBIENT DEEP LAYER WIND ENERGY. AS THE LOW STRATUS
DECK BREAKS UP LATER THIS MORNING, MIXING WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN MANY
AREAS, WHICH ALONG WITH HELPING SOME LOCATIONS WARM TO NEAR RECORD
HIGH TEMPS, WILL ALSO HELP BRING SOME STRONGER WIND GUSTS TO THE
SURFACE. THE WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE A LARGER
AREA GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE. WHILE THE AREAS
FARTHER EAST ARE LESS LIKELY TO SEE GUSTS TO 45 MPH, SUSTAINED WIND
OF 25 MPH WILL CERTAINLY BE ATTAINABLE AT TIMES.
THE NEXT CONCERN FOR THIS SYSTEM IS SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL ALONG
THE SQUALL LINE SET TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ALONG A PREFRONTAL
TROUGH. AS NOTED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS, THIS LINE WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY CONSIDERABLE SHEAR, WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 50-70
KT AND 0-1 KM SRH OF 300-400 M2/S2. THE MAJOR LIMITING FACTOR WILL BE
A LACK OF INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THIS LINE, WHICH WILL LIMIT THE
ABILITY FOR CONVECTION TO TAP INTO THE AFOREMENTIONED SHEAR. EVEN
PROGGED MUCAPES FAIL TO REACH 100 J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTHERN
PORTION OF THE CWA, AND THUS THE LIMITED THREAT FOR BE TRIMMED BACK A
BIT IN THESE AREAS. THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR THE QLCS TO TAP INTO
INSTABILITY WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THIS IS
WHERE THERE WILL BE GREATER POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND
PERHAPS A FEW BRIEF TORNADOES. THE LINE IS NOW EXPECTED TO REACH
WESTERNMOST PORTIONS OF THE CWA AFTER NOON, REACHING THE I-55
CORRIDOR AFTER SUNSET, THEN THE EASTERN BORDER OF THE CWA BY
MIDNIGHT.
RAIN SHOULD BE OUT OF THE AREA BY MONDAY MORNING, WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BRIEFLY BUILDING IN. RIGHT NOW, IT APPEARS THE HIGH COULD
SETTLE OVER THE AREA JUST IN TIME TO PROVIDE IDEAL RADIATION COOLING
CONDITIONS MONDAY NIGHT. THUS, WE NUDGED TUES MORNING FORECAST LOWS
DOWN A BIT FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. /DL/
LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND)...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE AT THE
SFC WILL BE IN PLACE FOLLOWING SUNDAYS COLD FRONT. SOUTHERLY FLOW AND
BUILDING HEIGHTS OVER THE REGION WILL ALLOW FOR SUNNY CONDITIONS AND
TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN IN THE 60S AND 70S THROUGH MIDWEEK.
BY WEDNESDAY ANOTHER LARGE CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL BE TRACKING THROUGH
THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND INTO MINNESOTA. THIS WILL DRAG A DRY COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE REGION AND LINGER ALONG THE GULF COAST. MODELS
AGREE THAT A SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP IN THE GULF AND RIDE NORTH
ALONG THE FRONT. THE GFS IS A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE ECMWF
AND KEEPS MOST OF THE RAIN TO THE SOUTH. THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN
COVER MORE OF THE CWA WITH PRECIPITATION(JUST RAIN) AND HAVE KEPT
WITH A MORE WET SOLUTION. THIS FRONT SHOULD BRING IN MORE SEASONAL
WEATHER WITH HIGHS IN THE 50S AND LOWS IN THE 30S FOR THE END OF THE
WEEK. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL SWING THROUGH THE REGION ON
FRIDAY...BRINGING AN END TO ANY PRECIP AND DRY SFC HIGH WILL MOVE IN
FOR THE LAST WEEKEND BEFORE CHRISTMAS. /28/
