377 FXUS64 KJAN 031135 AAA AFDJAN Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 635 AM CDT Wed Sep 3 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 326 AM CDT Wed Sep 3 2025 Today and tonight: Patchy dense fog has developed in the northeast where significant rainfall occurred Tuesday. The dense fog is expected to remain patchy but this area is being monitored for a possible Dense Fog Advisory. Otherwise, wl maintain northwest flow aloft through the period as upper level troughing over the eastern CONUS remains dominant. A stalled frontal boundary wl continue just north of our CWA and a rather moist airmass wl continue over our CWA. Daytime heating wl lead to the development of scattered mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Unlike last night at this time local radars were quiet in our CWA but regional radars had convection initiating over east central Arkansas. The movement of this convection was east southeast and some of this activity may spread into our northern zones around sunrise. Our normal highs run in the upper 80s. Highs this afternoon will be near normal across the north but top out slightly above normal across the southern half of our CWA. Our normal lows run in the mid 60s. Lows tonight wl be near normal across the northern half of our CWA and slightly warmer than normal across the southern half. /22/ Thursday through next Tuesday...The troughing pattern over the region will steadily break down late in the work week. As the trough lifts out, the mid/upper level and surface closed low pressure system over central Ontario Canada will send a surface frontal boundary south toward the region. This boundary will stall over the Mid-South region and essentially washout. South of this boundary across our area, increasingly hot and humid conditions will ensue as highs warm into the low and middle 90s Thursday and into the mid and upper 90s Friday. Over the weekend, a more zonal pattern aloft will setup over us. A surface low being absorbed into the aforementioned low over Ontario Canada, will drag a cold front south into and through the forecast area. This front will bring at least a slight chance of showers and storms to portions of the forecast area during this time. In the wake of this front, some slightly cooler drier air will advect south into the region. This will result in highs decreasing from the mid 80s to mid 90s of Saturday, to the mid 80s and lower 90s expected of Sunday. Lows will also follow suit, as they generally fall into the 60s both Saturday and Sunday night. Troughing aloft will again increase across the Lower Mississippi River Valley Monday into Tuesday. The slightly cooler drier conditions will persist during this time. Highs both days will only warm into the 80s, with lows Monday and Tuesday night again in the 60s. This pattern will also keep some chances for rain in the forecast each day as very weak disturbances push across the forecast area. /19/ && .AVIATION...

Elsewhere, VFR conditions are expected to prevail until after 16Z when scattered TSRA wl develop and affect the TAF sites except at PIB and HBG where the TSRA are expected to remain north of those sites. /22/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
