Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 230 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025 ...New DISCUSSION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 228 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025 Tonight through Tuesday night: Mid afternoon water vapor imagery/RAP analysis showed a shortwave trough axis just to the west of our CWA. Mid afternoon surface analysis had a ridge nosing west across the northern Gulf. The combined deep south to southwest flow was helping maintain our moist airmass with a PWAT of two inches. This deep moisture combined with daytime heating was lighting up local radars with scattered to numerous coverage of convection outside of our delta region. The convection was moving up from the south and will continue to expand across the delta region and northern zones through early evening before waining with the loss of daytime heating. The local microburst checklist showed a slight chance this afternoon but some of the early convection has held temperatures a little cooler than expected so far. Although model consensus progs very little convection overnight, a few hi-res models indicate potential redevelop along with very high rainfall rates over the western portions of our delta. The shortwave trough will become centered over our CWA Tuesday and weaken through Tuesday night. The surface ridge to our south will remain in place so Tuesday will likely be very similar to today. Daytime heating of our moist airmass will lead to scattered to numerous convection that will likely get an early start in the south again. The early start to convection and associated cloud cover will help afternoon highs cooler than normal. The convection will show a distinct diurnal trend and gradually dissipate during the evening. Wednesday through Sunday: Wednesday another shortwave trough will be dropping through the central Plains. This shortwave trough will be supporting a surface low that will send a weak cold front our way. The daytime convection will be more focused over our southeast but Wednesday night into Thursday rain chances will increase across our north as the cold front and associated convection spreads into our CWA. The cold front is expected to stall across our northern zones Thursday afternoon before drifting back north Thursday night. By Friday wl still have a surface ridge to our south but wl start to become under the influence of a 594dam high from the west. This high will be shifting east and become centered over the southeast state Saturday and strengthen over the southeast states Sunday. This will lead to lower rain chances over our CWA along with afternoon highs topping out a degree or two warmer each afternoon in the mid 90s. The high temperatures combined with high humidity will lead to peak heat index values between 105F and 110F. As the first day of Summer will start Friday evening it seems rather appropriate that a heat related graphic and product be carried at that time. /22/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1242 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025 Scattered TSRA were already noted on local radars at 1730Z. The TSRA wl increase in coverage this aftn and reduce flying conditions. The TSRA wl dissipate this evening from the south. Away from TSRA VFR conditions will prevail until after 11Z Tuesday when MVFR cigs wl develop at most TAF sites and prevail until after 15Z. By 17Z VFR conditions are expected areawide until scattered to numerous TSRA develop from the south again Tuesday aftn. /22/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
