The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.

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 Jun 10, 2:41 PM CST, 49 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 341 PM CDT WED JUN 10 2015 .DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...AFTERNOON SATELLITE SHOWS SCT CU FIELD ACROSS AREA WITH WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS DEVELOPING IN SEVERAL SPOTS. CONVECTION SHOULD GRADUALLY CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THROUGH AFTERNOON PARTICULARLY OVER SOUTH AND EAST WHERE INFLUENCE OF MID/UPPER SHEAR ZONE EXISTS. TEMPS HAVE RISEN TO AROUND 90F...AND SPC MESOANALYSIS SHOWS STRONGEST INSTABILITY OVER WRN AREAS AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON WHERE SBCAPE VALUES ARE NEAR 4000 J/KG. COULD BE A FEW PULSE SEVERE STORMS PRIMARILY IN THIS AREA THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...BUT AS MENTIONED THIS MORNING DOES NOT APPEAR TO WARRANT MENTION IN HWO. ONLY SUBTLE CHANGES EXPECTED IN OVERALL PATTERN THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT AS WEAK MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW DROPS SW INTO NW GULF AND STRONGER MID LEVEL SYSTEM DROPS INTO SOUTHERN PLAINS... RESULTING IN DEEPER MOISTURE GRADUALLY INCREASING ACROSS OUR AREA. THIS WILL RESULT IN SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS ON THU WITH POPS TRENDING HIGHER IN THE SE AREAS. FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY WILL SEE PATTERN CONTINUE TO EVOLVE...WITH LOW/MID LEVEL BERMUDA HIGH STRENGTHENING NEAR SE CONUS COAST. THIS WILL RESULT IN INCREASING LOW/MID LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS OUR AREA...WHICH WILL ENABLE ANOMALOUSLY HIGH TROPICAL MOISTURE OVER SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO TO BE PULLED NORTH INTO OUR AREA. AXIS OF GREATEST MOISTURE AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT WILL BE FOCUSED IN WESTERN AREAS...WHERE BY SAT AFTERNOON GFS/EC SHOW PW VALUES REACHING NEAR 2.25 INCHES...WHICH WOULD BE NEAR DAILY MAX FOR MID JUNE. DISTURBANCES ROTATING AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH TO OUR EAST WILL RESULT IN WAVES OF SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. EVEN THOUGH FLOW WILL BE INCREASING IT WILL GENERALLY BE UNIDIRECTIONAL AND SIMILAR IN STRENGTH...MEANING THAT CORFIDI VECTOR MAGNITUDES WILL BE SMALL... GENERALLY AOB 15 KT. HENCE COULD BE SLOW MOVING...TRAINING AND EFFICIENT SHRA/TSRA WITH SOME FLOODING ISSUES...AGAIN MAINLY IN WEST WHERE ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS ARE ALSO MORE CONCERNING FOR FLOOD ISSUES. WILL ALSO NEED TO MONITOR POTENTIAL FOR SOME GUSTY STORMS AS 850 MB FLOW IS FORECAST TO INCREASE TO 30-40 KT AT TIMES WHICH COULD RESULT IN GUSTS DUE TO MOMENTUM TRANSPORT EVEN WITH WEAKER INSTABILITY AND LAPSE RATES. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES...GENERALLY SEASONAL TEMPS EXPECTED AND BC MOS BLEND SEEMS FINE. LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...PATTERN OF FRIDAY/SATURDAY WILL GENERALLY CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY WITH LITTLE CHANGE. EXPECT HIGH POPS WITH GREATEST POPS AND THREAT FOR HEAVIER QPF IN WESTERN AREAS. NEXT EVOLUTION IN THE PATTERN COMES DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK AS BERMUDA HIGH STRENGTHENS EVEN FURTHER AND BUILDS MORE TO THE W INTO ARKLAMISS. THIS WILL RESULT IN BETTER MOISTURE BEING SHUNTED MORE TO OUR WEST...HENCE AN ASSOCIATED LOWERING OF POPS WITH CONVECTION BECOMING MORE TYPICALLY DIURNAL IN NATURE. LOW LEVEL TEMPS WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO WARM...WITH 925 AND 850 MB TEMPS IN MODELS SUPPORTING MID 90S IN MANY AREAS BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. CURRENT MAX TEMP GUIDANCE FROM MODELS IS NOT QUITE THIS WARM...BUT BUMPED UP MAXES A DEG OR TWO TUE/WED...ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST WHERE RAINFALL HAS BEEN BELOW NORMAL OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS THUS POSSIBLY SUPPORTING GREATER DIURNAL RANGES. LOW LEVEL TEMPS SHOULD ALSO BE WARMEST THIS AREA ALONG WITH LEAST CHANCE FOR RAINFALL CLOSER TO MID LEVEL HIGH. /AEG/ && .AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR NEARLY ALL OF THIS TAF PERIOD. FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON THERE WILL BE SOME ISO/SCT CONVECTION OCCURRING AND WILL HAVE TO AMD SITES WHERE ACTIVITY GETS CLOSE TO. OVERNIGHT LOOK FOR A SITE OR TWO TO SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR VIS WITH HBG HAVING SOME POTENTIAL FOR AN MVFR CEILING BY 11Z. /CME/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
