Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
The combination of rich gulf moisture, training of storms, and strong moisture convergence aided in providing flash flooding over portions of Central Mississippi mainly during the morning.
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 8, 8:31 PM CST, 5 hours 49 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 931 PM CDT MON JUN 8 2015 .UPDATE...WILL KEEP THE CURRENT FORECAST GOING FOR NOW. THE MODELS SEEM TO BE IN CONFLICT ABOUT THE STORMS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. LOOKING AT THE CURRENT TRENDS...EXPECTING MOST OF THE CONVECTION TO REMAIN TO THE NORTH AND DIMINISH AS SHIFTS FURTHER SOUTH INTO THE CWA. THE HIRESW FITS MORE OF THE CURRENT TREND WITH ONGOING CONVECTION AND THE ACTIVITY OVER THE MIDSOUTH SWEEPING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST ZONES. WITH THE GREATEST POPS IN THE EAST...WILL NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS. THE TAIL-END OF THE ACTIVITY MOVING THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH WAS WANING SOME. WHILE THERE WAS SOME SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY AVAILABLE...THINK EARLIER CONVECTION MAY HAVE USED UP SOME OF THE ENERGY AND THE DARKNESS MAY LIMIT THE REST. EXPECTING THE ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP WITH THE BOUNDARY AND POSSIBLY BRUSH THE NORTHEAST ZONES. THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS EXISTS OVERNIGHT...SO WILL LEAVE EVERYTHING AS IS FOR NOW. && .AVIATION...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE OVER THE AREA...SO VCTS SEEMED GOOD FOR GWO AND GTR FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. WITH A BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT...THESE LOCATIONS MAY SEE ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT. WIDESPREAD FOG WAS NOT ANTICIPATED...BUT HBG/MEI COULD DROP DOWN TO MVFR CONDITIONS. MODELS SUGGEST STRATUS MOVING UP TO I-20 BY EARLY MORNING.
