A few rounds of storms impacted the region between the 9th and 11th of June. A combination of a few storm clusters along with scattered activity resulted in isolated damaging winds and localized flash flooding.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 944 PM CDT Sun Jun 8 2025 ...New MESOSCALE UPDATE... .MESOSCALE UPDATE... Issued at 940 PM CDT Sun Jun 8 2025 The forecast reasoning is generally on track for the overnight into Monday morning concerning a convective system expected to move across the forecast area. Considerable convective rainfall may develop well ahead of the system in the very moist and buoyant airmass per recent CAM guidance consensus, but any organized severe threat continues to correlate with our latest severe weather timing graphic for the early to mid morning hours. /EC/ && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 513 PM CDT Sun Jun 8 2025 Through Monday... A well-organized convective complex is expected to develop overnight as the result of the upscale growth of numerous strong to severe storms across the Southern Plains this evening. This system will reach its peak intensity upstream of our area and tracking eastward. By the time it reaches our CWA, likely beginning in the predawn hours Monday, severe weather potential will have diminished somewhat compared to what the Moderate Risk area to our west will have likely seen. However, the remains of this energy will still allow for a few cells or bowing segments to produce damaging winds and some hail as the convective complex interacts with an airmass that will be moderately unstable (~2000-3000 SBCAPE), somewhat uncommon for the 5am-9am timeframe which typically sees the daily minimum in terms of diurnally driven thermodynamic instability. Timing on the severe weather appears most likely Monday morning (between 2-10AM west to east), and given the trend in timing lately don't be surprised if the primary window for the most intense storms ends up being closer to between 5am and 1pm Monday. Some chance for redevelopment is possible in the evening tomorrow should the early morning activity clear out in time for a substantial diurnal upward temperature swing prior to dusk. Any stronger cores with this activity will likely be both transient and isolated, dissipating during the evening. /OAJ/86/ No changes to the long term: Tuesday through the weekend... Global guidance continues to show a cold front shifting southward and stalling across the southeastern CONUS heading into Tuesday. This front will provide some relief from the triple digit heat index readings over much of our forecast area. This front will also keep higher chances of showers and t-storms around for the rest of the period/area for the afternoon hours and subsequently peter off after sunset. /CR/OAJ/ && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 648 PM CDT Sun Jun 8 2025 VFR conditions with southwesterly breezes will be the general rule for the forecast area through this evening, then expect MVFR category stratus to become prevalent late tonight into Monday morning. Short duration TS conditions, and potential +T with damaging wind, may occur with a convective system moving from west to east during the early to mid morning hours. In the wake of the system, expect improving aviation weather from late morning through afternoon. /EC/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
