Strong to severe storms developed across the area during the afternoon. This was aided by instability from daytime heating along with various outflow boundaries combined with a moist air mass.

The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
Strong to severe storms developed across the area during the afternoon. This was aided by instability from daytime heating along with various outflow boundaries combined with a moist air mass. The severe storms had produced damage in the form of blown down trees and power lines. There were also some isolated events of hail.
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 24, 10:10 AM CST, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1110 AM CDT WED JUN 24 2015
.UPDATE...TEMPERATURES ARE WARMING QUICKLY ONCE AGAIN TODAY WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF EAST AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. A DECAYING OVERNIGHT MCS
IS LOCATED ALONG THE ALABAMA/FLORIDA COAST AND DIMINISHING/MOVING
SOUTH THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...THIS HAS CAUSED SOME CLOUD COVER TO
LINGER OVER EAST AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI...WHICH HAS KEPT
TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING FROM WARMING TOO QUICKLY. SOME OF THESE
LOCATIONS REMAIN IN THE LOWER 80S WHILE THE REST OF THE CWA HAS
EASILY WARMED INTO THE LOWER 90S UNDER MORE SUNSHINE. DEWPOINTS
REMAIN IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION AND THIS
HAS BROUGHT HEAT INDICES ALREADY EXCEEDING 100 DEGREES FOR LOCATIONS
GENERALLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR. LESS MIXING
IS EXPECTED TODAY AND THE HEAT WILL BE THE MAIN STORY WITH
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO RISE INTO THE UPPER 90S FOR MOST LOCATIONS
AND HEAT INDICES EXCEEDING 105. MADE A FEW TWEAKS TO HIGH
TEMPERATURES TO ACCOUNT FOR FASTER WARMING IN SOME LOCATIONS. CURRENT
HEAT ADVISORY LOOKS GOOD FOR NOW. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE
POTENTIAL FOR MORE DIURNAL CONVECTION TODAY THAN WE HAVE SEEN IN
PREVIOUS DAYS. SOME STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALREADY IN WESTERN ALABAMA
AND ARE MOVING TO THE SOUTH. HI- RES GUIDANCE SEEMS IN AGREEMENT OF
STORMS DEVELOPING AND HAVING A MORE WESTWARD MOVEMENT. LOCAL
MICROBURST ANALYSIS SHOWS A DECENT POTENTIAL FOR MICROBURSTS IF/WHEN
CONVECTION DEVELOPS. LIMITED COVERAGE IN THE GRAPHICS/HWO SEEM TO
COVER THIS WELL. /28/
&&
.AVIATION...VFR FLIGHT STATUSES WILL PREVAIL AT MOST SITES THROUGH
MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR
CEILINGS AND/OR VISIBILITIES THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO SCATTERED
CONVECTION THAT'LL DEVELOP OVER MAINLY CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE REGION...KHKS...KJAN...KMEI...AND KHBG. SOME STORMS THIS
AFTERNOON COULD BE SEVERE AND CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS OF 52 KNOTS OR GREATER. SMALL HAIL CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITH
THE MOST INTENSE STORMS...WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO
GROUND LIGHTNING EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY ANY ACTIVITY. CONVECTION
SHOULD BEGIN TO WANE IN COVERAGE AS DAYTIME HEATING IS LOST THIS
EVENING AFTER SUNSET. WINDS TODAY WILL BE VARIABLE FROM NORTHWEST
TO SOUTHWEST TODAY AROUND 5 KNOTS...AND WILL SUBSIDE TO LIGHT TO
CALM OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. /19/
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 425 AM CDT WED JUN 24 2015/
SHORT TERM...
THE MCS THAT BLEW THROUGH TN AND NORTH MS LAST NIGHT WEAKENED AS IT
JUST ENTERED OUR CWA. WITH LOWER INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE IN OUR
AREA THIS WAS TO BE EXPECTED. AREAS IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE AND ALONG
THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR RECEIVED A BIT OF WELCOME RAINFALL RELIEF
OVERNIGHT. TOO BAD IT WAS NOT DURING THE DAY SO TO COOL THINGS OFF A
BIT FOR THEM. THESE SHOWERS SHOULD BE COMPLETELY DISSIPATED BY
SUNRISE THIS MORNING. AT THIS TIME...DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT WILL
AFFECT TODAY'S CHANCES OF AFTERNOON SHOWERS/STORMS OTHER THAN MAYBE
DELAYING ONSET A BIT AS TEMPS...DEWPOINTS...AND THE WIND FIELD
REBOUNDS.
WEDNESDAY WILL BE JUST AS HOT AS TUESDAY. TEMPS WILL TOP OUT IN THE
MID TO UPPER 90S WITH HEAT INDICES AS HIGH AS 100 TO 107 ACROSS THE
ENTIRE CWA. HEAT ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE TO COVER THE NORTH HALF OF
THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE CURRENT BELIEF IS THAT THE
CLOUD COVER FROM THE REMNANT MCS WILL NOT AFFECT HIGH TEMPS ENOUGH
TODAY. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL OFFER NO RELIEF TO THE CURRENT HEAT
STRESS SITUATION EITHER AS TEMPS DROP TO THE MID 70S AGAIN WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. THURSDAY WILL BE A TAD COOLER THOUGH AS THE RIDGE WEAKENS
GREATLY.
AN UPTICK IN DIURNAL CONVECTION WILL BE SEEN THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
SURFACE RIDGE WEAKENS. HIGH CAPE AND LOW SHEAR VALUES SUGGEST A
DECENT WET MICROBURST DAY. PW'S OVER 1.7 INCHES AND WEAK SURFACE
FLOW SUGGEST THIS AS WELL. THURSDAY POP CHANCES ARE PRETTY SIMILAR.
/10/
LONG TERM...
AS WE GO INTO FRIDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK MODELS AND ENSEMBLES SHOWS
AN AMPLIFIED PATTERN WITH RIDGING OUT WEST AND UPPER TROUGHING OVER
THE EAST HALF OF US. THIS FEATURE WILL BRING A FRONT THROUGH THE
REGION ON SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN GOOD RAIN
CHANCES FOR FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE FROM THE
NORTH ON SUNDAY INTO MONDAY DRYER AIR PUSHES IN FROM THE NORTH. PWATS
WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION FROM LATE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS
WE GO BACK TO DIURNAL CHANCES OF RAIN. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS COMING BACK WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 80S WITH
LOWS IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S. SOME LOCATIONS MAY DIP INTO THE LOWER
60S ON SUNDAY NIGHT. /17/
