469 FXUS64 KJAN 300243 AAA AFDJAN Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 943 PM CDT Fri Aug 29 2025 ...New MESOSCALE UPDATE... .MESOSCALE UPDATE... Issued at 929 PM CDT Fri Aug 29 2025 Mid evening surface analysis had a stalled frontal boundary just south of our CWA. Mid evening satellite imagery showed northwest flow aloft with some drier air aloft moving across our CWA. This drier air has helped erode much of the stratus layer that has been across our CWA all day. The layer of stratus is progged to spread back north a bit toward morning. Local radars only had very light returns across our southeast most zones. Rain chances will expand back north a bit toward morning as well. Patchy fog, some possibly dense may develop along our Interstate 20 corridor with the highest probabilities of dense fog development expected over our east central Mississippi zones. Wl hold off for now on issuing a Dense Fog Advisory as the expanding stratus and rain chances may occur farther north than currently anticipated. /22/ && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1251 PM CDT Fri Aug 29 2025 Friday through next Thursday: Friday Night: The wet pattern over the last couple of days is gradually coming to an end as the frontal boundary push southward. The boundary is expected to stall near the Gulf coast; keeping lingering showers across southern portions of the area this evening and into Saturday. Fog development will be possible overnight into Saturday morning. Labor Day Weekend through next Thursday: A longwave trough pattern is expected to set up post frontal passage, bringing in drier air along with cooler temperatures over the next several days.
