483 FXUS64 KJAN 311124 AFDJAN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 624 AM CDT Sun Aug 31 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 335 AM CDT Sun Aug 31 2025 Little in the way of hazardous weather impacts are expected for our region through this week. A persistent and unseasonably deep eastern CONUS longwave trough will be the primary weather influence for the area as we go through next. Most of the forecast will be on the dry side, but a few sneaky disturbances sliding through the cyclonic flow aloft will bring a few days of light rainfall potential with low to medium rain chances that peak in the afternoon. This is especially the case for Tuesday north of the I-20 corridor when a more significant shortwave trough is expected to slowly cross the TN Valley region. By late week, reinforcement of the eastern CONUS trough may bring cooler air into our forecast area. Lows in the upper 50s should become more common by Friday night over northern portions of the area, but the prospect for cooler air reaching south of I-20 is looking less certain as the cool anomalies remain centered north of our area. /EC/ && .AVIATION...
