340 FXUS64 KJAN 151533 AAA AFDJAN Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 1033 AM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 ...New MESOSCALE UPDATE... .MESOSCALE UPDATE... Issued at 1015 AM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 Similar to Saturday morning, early convection was noted on local radars across our northern zones. This activity was initiating along a weak stalled boundary. Also similar to Saturday morning, regional radars showed convection firing to our southwest. The convection in our north will last into early afternoon but by mid afternoon, daytime heating of our moist airmass will lead to expanding coverage of convection from the southwest to the northeast. The morning JAN sounding had a PWAT near two inches and with lower lapse rates than on Saturday. The chance for rain was adjusted in timing and area but the forecast remains on track. /22/ && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 230 AM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 Through The Next Week... No shift in the model trends means that there hasn`t been much of a change to the forecast since yesterday. The weather will remain essentially the same over the next 7 days: Daytime sporadic showers and thunderstorms forming in the mid morning, steadily building in both coverage and intensity by mid afternoon and tapering off through the waning daylight hours, finally dissipating an hour or two after sunset. Rain totals both from singular storms, and for the overarching week remain pretty low (<2in/7days) so there are no concerns for flash flooding. Some rivers remain elevated from last week`s rises so we can expect these rivers to hover around the same levels, with no significant relief in sight. The big question will be the max expected intensity for these storms, and over the weekend and into the early week the environment does not support any strong organization and thus wind and hail will remain below severe thresholds. Mid to late week it does look like the overall synoptic pattern begins to sharpen and organize, and this looks to be the timeframe with the highest probability for severe storms. Since that`s still quite a few days out we`re not a the point where our confidence is high enough regarding timing/coverage to really elucidate on this further. We will continue to monitor any shifts in the upper level pattern, and attendant resolution shifts in order to dial in the threats, if any,for next week. Other than that, hot and humid days are in store with the heat index steadily climbing day to day, Some sites should break into the triple digit HIs by mid week, which could trigger some products communicating heat danger./OAJ/ && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 615 AM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 A mix of VFR/MVFR/IFR conditions prevail at TAF sites this morning and this will continue through 14-15Z. Expect all sites to become VFR after 15Z and continue through the period, but scattered showers and thunderstorms will once again be possible this afternoon across much of the area, which will bring occasional MVFR/IFR conditions to sites into this evening. /15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
