557 FXUS64 KJAN 241749 AAA AFDJAN Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 1249 PM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025 ...New AVIATION... .MESOSCALE UPDATE... Issued at 1006 AM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025 The early morning fog that developed in the east has dissipated. Under strong insolation today temperatures will top out slightly warmer than normal. Thanks to the drier air over the region, heat stress is not expected to be a concern. A dry cold front will move into the northern zones by this evening. /22/ && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1237 AM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025 A cold front associated with a low pressure system over the Great Lakes will edge southward through tonight. Today`s temps will still be a little warmer than normal, but the trend to cooler temperatures will arrive in its wake by midweek as a 1024 mb surface high spreads into the Mid-South region. By Tuesday and Wednesday, high temps below 90 will become more common, and most areas will have morning lows in the 60s. Cooler spots in north central to northeast Mississippi will dip into the upper 50s by Wednesday or Thursday morning. Rain chances will be quite limited through Thursday, and with the increasing dryness, we will need to pay greater attention for "Limited" fire weather concerns. Daytime RHs are forecast to fall as low as the 25-30 percent range in some areas by Monday and again Wednesday and Thursday. Low-end chances for showers and thunderstorms will return by the weekend as the front washes out and another system moves across the Central CONUS. /NF/ && .AVIATION...
