Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 1249 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 ...New AVIATION... .MESOSCALE UPDATE... Issued at 1008 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 Mid morning water vapor imagery/RAP analysis showed our CWA at the base of an upper level trough with a shortwave over northern Mississippi and another over the northeast Texas coast. These shortwaves each had an area of convection with them his morning. Latest surface analysis had a ridge across the northern Gulf from the east. This surface ridge along with its southwest low level flow was already helping to initiate convection across our southeast zones. The convection across northern Mississippi had not yet spread south into our northern zones but during the afternoon hours the convection in our south and to our north are expected to spread across our CWA and result in numerous coverage of storms. Minor adjusts to the timing of rain chances were made but the forecast remains on track. /22/ && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 538 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 Through Next Friday... The weather will remain essentially the same over the next 7 days: Daytime sporadic showers and thunderstorms forming in the mid morning, steadily building in both coverage and intensity by mid afternoon and tapering off through the waning daylight hours, finally dissipating an hour or two after sunset. Rain totals both from singular storms, and for the overarching week remain pretty low (<2in/7days) so there are no concerns for flash flooding. Some rivers remain elevated from last week's rises so we can expect these rivers to hover around the same levels, with no significant relief in sight. The big question will be the max expected intensity for these storms, and over the weekend and into the early week the environment does not support any strong organization and thus wind and hail will remain below severe thresholds. Mid to late week it does look like the overall synoptic pattern begins to sharpen and organize, and this looks to be the timeframe with the highest probability for severe storms. Since that's still quite a few days out we're not a the point where our confidence is high enough regarding timing/coverage to really elucidate on this further. We will continue to monitor any shifts in the upper level pattern, and attendant resolution shifts in order to dial in the threats, if any,for next week. Other than that, hot and humid days are in store with the heat index steadily climbing day to day, Some sites should break into the triple digit HIs by mid week, which could trigger some products communicating heat danger./OAJ/ && .AVIATION...
