022 FXUS64 KJAN 110534 AFDJAN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 1234 AM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024 ...New AVIATION... .MESOSCALE UPDATE... Issued at 942 PM CDT Mon Jun 10 2024 Satellite imagery shows plenty of high clouds that will continue to stream in from the west through the night but the chance for any precipitation ended in the south a few hours ago. No significant changes were needed to the current forecast. /22 && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 301 PM CDT Mon Jun 10 2024 Tonight through Sunday Night...High pressure will settle over the region through tonight, in the wake of a weak boundary that`s sinking south through the region. Isolated to scattered convection that`s developed this afternoon will steadily dissipate through the late afternoon and evening hours as daytime heating wanes. Under mostly clear skies, lows tonight will be pleasant as they generally fall into the 60s. Quiet conditions will prevail across the forecast area through the remainder of the work week. High pressure will remain in control of the weather across the region. Drier air will reside across the CWA during this time. However, temperatures will steadily become warmer each day through the weekend. While we`ll begin the week with lows in the 60s, by the time we reach Friday night, lows will struggle to fall out of the 70s. Then for highs, we`ll begin the period Tuesday with highs peaking in the 80s. However as Friday and the upcoming weekend rolls around, highs will top out in the mid and upper 90s. These high temperatures Friday through Sunday, factored with increasing moisture across the CWA, could result in some threat for increased heat stress across portions, if not all, of the forecast area. This potential will continue to be monitored in upcoming forecasts. Chances for isolated to scattered showers and storms will also increase across the forecast area Saturday into Sunday. This is again as a result of moisture increasing across the Lower Mississippi River Valley. Better rain chances are expected heading into the start of the new work week, next week, as a slug of moisture associated with a northward drifting wave lifts into the gulf coast states from the Gulf of Mexico. /19/ && .AVIATION...
