Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 714 AM CDT Tue Apr 8 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 315 AM CDT Tue Apr 8 2025 No significant change to the forecast has occurred over the last 24 hours: Overall there's not a whole lot to talk about meteorologically beyond the sharp cooldown early this week. We will see a brief but welcome surcease to brisk polar winds, in turn bringing a rebound to mid 70 highs Wednesday and Thursday. There will be yet another front pushing across the American South late Thu into Friday, the tail end of which will brush our eastern peripheries; catalyzing another bout of northerly winds. While we will be spared the brunt of the typical convective activity associated with this front, a chance for showers and thunderstorms east of I-55 can not be ruled out ahead of it. Another bout of cold air following behind this front will continue to suppress our temperatures below seasonal norms for the remainder of the week. Sunday will see temperatures rebound back into seasonal norms spurned by the resurgence of Gulf flow establishing itself across the region. Highs will range in the mid to high 70s with overnight lows bottoming out in the mid upper 50s. /OAJ/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 713 AM CDT Tue Apr 8 2025 VFR conditions will prevail through the TAF period at all sites, with winds generally from the north and 10 kts or less. /NF/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
