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 May 1, 3:05 AM CST, 5 hours 55 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 405 AM CDT SUN MAY 1 2016 .DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)..."WET" WILL REMAIN THE MAIN THEME THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AS THE CWA REMAINS IN A BROAD REGION OF UPPER DIVERGENCE, PROVIDING CONTINUED OPPORTUNITIES FOR ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS DIVERGENCE WILL RESULT FROM BEING SITUATED BETWEEN THE NORTHERN STREAM OF THE JET (EXTENDING FROM THE PLAINS THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY) AND THE SUBTROPICAL JET (EXTENDING ALONG THE GULF COAST). MEANWHILE, A SURFACE FRONT IS NOW POSITIONED FROM EAST TX INTO THE MID MS VALLEY AND IS MAKING VERY SLOW PROGRESS TOWARD THE AREA. FOR TODAY, OUR FOCUS IS ON A CONVECTIVE CLUSTER DEVELOPING ACROSS SW LOUISIANA. THROUGH THIS MORNING, THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD EAST/NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA, GRADUALLY DEVELOPING EASTWARD THROUGH THE DAY. MORE ISOLATED/ SCATTERED CONVECTION IS ANTICIPATED FARTHER NORTH. THIS WILL CONTINUE A LIMITED POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING, AND MENTION OF THIS WILL BE MAINTAINED IN THE HWO FOR AN AREA LOOSELY MATCHING UP WITH WPC'S SLIGHT RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. THERE IS SOME LIMITED POTENTIAL FOR STRONG/SEVERE STORMS, BUT WITH DEVELOPMENT TAKING PLACE SO EARLY IN THE DAY, INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED. THIS ALONG WITH WEAK FORCING SHOULD PRECLUDE A MORE WIDESPREAD THREAT. WITH CONSIDERABLE CLOUD COVER/PRECIP EXPECTED DURING MUCH OF THE DAY ACROSS THAT AREA, HIGH TEMP GUIDANCE WAS UNDERCUT. MUCH LIKE YESTERDAY, A BIT OF A LULL IS ANTICIPATED THIS EVENING. THEN AS A NEW SHORTWAVE SWINGS THROUGH THE MID SOUTH AND MID MS VALLEY, IT IS EXPECTED TO SPARK NEW DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THE DAYTIME MONDAY, WITH WIDESPREAD COVERAGE EXPECTED ON MONDAY. SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT MAKES SLOW PROGRESS SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA. /DL/ LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...THE ACTIVE STORMY PERIOD THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN WILL FINALLY COME TO AN END ON TUESDAY. MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT THE FRONT THAT HAS BEEN STALLED TO OUR WEST WILL FINALLY MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH THE ARKLAMISS REGION TUESDAY. THE GFS IS A LITTLE FASTER THAN THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN WHICH BOTH KEEP THE FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY. THEY BOTH SHOW SHOWERS/ STORMS SOUTH OF THE FRONT STARTING IN THE MORNING AND SLOWLY MOVING OUT BY THE AFTERNOON AND HAVE CONTINUED WITH THIS SOLUTION. RAIN AND STORMS SHOULD CLEAR QUICKLY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND THE UPPER TROUGH WILL SWING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING...EFFECTIVELY CLEARING OUT THE AREA OF ANY STORMS AND ALLOWING COOLER DRIER AIR TO FILTER IN. THE REGION WILL REMAIN UNDER MAINLY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS WE SIT BETWEEN UPPER RIDGING TO THE WEST AND AN UPPER LOW ACROSS THE NORTHEAST STATES. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR VERY NICE WEATHER THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S AND LOWS IN THE 50S. THE UPPER RIDGE LOOKS TO SHIFT EAST FOR THE WEEKEND WHICH MAY INCREASE TEMPERATURES SOME BUT OVERALL...THE WEATHER LOOKS RATHER NICE FOR EARLY MAY. /28/ && .AVIATION...MVFR CIGS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA AND WILL PERSIST THROUGH MID MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA, BEFORE LIFTING TO VFR. SHRA/TSRA WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY, ESPECIALLY AT SITES SOUTH AND EAST OF A LINE FROM HEZ TO JAN TO GTR, AS A FRONT REMAINS STALLED ACROSS THE REGION. CIGS AND VISBYS MAY BRIEFLY DROP TO MVFR/IFR RANGE IN HEAVIER SHRA, BUT THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD NOT PERSIST FOR AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STRATUS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. /DL/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
