688 FXUS64 KJAN 010533 AAC AFDJAN Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 1233 AM CDT Tue Jul 1 2025 ...New AVIATION... .MESOSCALE UPDATE... Issued at 943 PM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 Current radar scans are showing a line of strong storms across portions of east MS. Elsewhere, weather conditions will remain quiet over the rest of our forecast area this evening. Portions of the NW Delta region could see a slight chance of scattered showers heading into the overnight period with dry conditions elsewhere. Areas along and east of I-55 will see an increase in cloud cover tonight. Expect nighttime temperatures to dip into the low to mid 70s across the area. Updates are out. /CR/ && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 101 PM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 Tonight through Sunday...High pressure aloft will steadily slide further east and deeper into the forecast area throughout the work week and into the upcoming holiday weekend. By mid-week, a trough to the north will send a cold front further south and into the CWA through the end of the work week. As the front`s mid/upper level support shifts east and along the east coast, the front will essentially hang up and stall just south of north central gulf coast into the weekend. Ahead of the front, hot and very humid conditions will continue to prevail across the forecast area. This afternoon, a good coverage of showers and storms can be expected, especially across eastern portions of the area on the eastern periphery of the aforementioned high aloft. Some of the more intense storms during this time will be capable of producing gusty winds, but frequent lightning and heavy downpours will be possible will all storms that develop. Then on Tuesday, with the addition of some better forcing as the front drops closer to the CWA, along with the already moist and unstable airmass, a "Marginal Risk" for isolated severe storms will exist across the majority of the area. Damaging wind gusts will be the primary concern with any severe storms. This activity will begin to weaken and wane in coverage after sunset each evening. As the front pushes south through the forecast area Wednesday, and remains south of the CWA into the weekend, some slightly drier air will seep into the region. Chances for afternoon and evening showers and storms will also be shunted further south and ahead of the front. Despite this drier air advecting into the region, the lesser coverage of both convection and clouds each day through the weekend, will result in hotter afternoon temperatures as highs will eventually peak into the mid and upper 90s areawide. Once again, this could result in another round of potential "heat advisories" portions of, if not all of, the forecast area Saturday into Sunday. Speaking of Sunday, some subtle amounts of moisture will begin increasing across the region, resulting in a few more showers and storms developing across the area in the heat of the afternoon. /19/ && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1233 AM CDT Tue Jul 1 2025 Brief patchy fog or low clouds will be possible through around daybreak, though confidence is not high enough to prevail at any TAF site. Scattered SH and TS are expected, with brief categorical reductions and gusty wind possible. Though most coverage of convection will be from mid afternoon through early evening, isolated activity is possible until that time. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail through the remainder of the TAF period. /DL/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
