Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 108 PM CDT Tue Sep 2 2025 ...New DISCUSSION, AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1215 PM CDT Tue Sep 2 2025 There's a remnant weak surface boundary over far northwestern Mississippi that will continue drift southeastward while washing out over the next 24-36 hours. Broken cloud coverage is lingering across the area today and should persist through the afternoon hours. As the day progresses and daytime heating provide more energy, expect showers and thunderstorms to become more widespread and stronger, in conjunction with the stationary boundary ambling southward. At this moment the highest winds we are looking to see should be in the 30- 40mph range with a small potential for a cell or two to overachieve into 50+ mph. Sunset will put a damper on convective activity, and we will see precipitation cease entirely by 10PM. The front should drape through central to southern Mississippi by this time too, the upper levels largely reflect the surface in that there is set to broad troughing over the CWA for the next few days, bringing progressively clearer skies daily through the late week. While skies will certainly be clearer, this does not mean we're out of the woods just yet concerning precipitation chances. There will still be residual moisture/lift for Wednesday ushering forth another round of diurnally driven showers/thunderstorms. Thursday and Friday look to be our driest days over the next week with the aforementioned broad troughing allowing for dry air to settle into across the southeastern United States. Over the weekend a low progged to spin up over central Texas will begin tracking our way, with the northeastern peripheries of the cloud shield beginning to affect the Gulf coast stretching across central MS early Saturday morning. Instability provided by this low, along with a healthy amount of moisture set to start channeling into the CWA will provide enough ingredients to regenerate our diurnally driven convection. Daily coverage and intensity will increase daily reaching a crescendo Tuesday afternoon. Its tough to say with any sort of confidence the impacts this next low will provide, given that the depth and tracking this far out tend to be a bit too variant. Should the low track faster out of Texas than is currently projected, we could see widespread strong and scattered damaging wind events. In the past global guidance tends to be a bit overzealous with cyclogenesis so we're going to err on the more optimistic side of things until we get closer to next week. /OAJ/ && .AVIATION...
