038 FXUS64 KJAN 100818 AFDJAN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 318 AM CDT Fri May 10 2024 ...New DISCUSSION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 315 AM CDT Fri May 10 2024 Today through Thursday night...The bulk of the storms are beginning to move east of the area this morning, but showers will continue to be possible through mid morning. Skies will begin to clear later this morning into this afternoon, as surface high pressure builds in with highs mainly in the low to mid 80s. High pressure and dry conditions will prevail through most of the weekend with highs around 80 degrees. Moisture will begin to increase on Sunday, with increasing chances for storms mainly in the south Sunday afternoon. A warm front will begin to push north over the area Sunday night, with widespread showers/storms developing over much of the area during the timeframe. Currently it looks like the primary threat will be heavy rainfall with these storms, but this will have to continue to be monitored. Expect the bulk of the storms to move east of the area through the morning hours on Monday. We will get a bit of a break Monday afternoon, but another short wave/cold front will approach the area Monday evening, with another round of storms Monday evening into the overnight hours. Showers will continue to be possible into Tuesday as the main upper trough moves across the area. High pressure and dry conditions return briefly on Wednesday, but yet another series of short waves will kick of more showers/storms Thursday and Thursday night. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 813 PM CDT Thu May 9 2024 Ongoing SHRA and TSRA across parts of the forecast area will continue to pose the risk for severe wind gusts at the TAF sites, with gusts over 65 kts possible with the strongest of storms before 09Z. Patches of low stratus and variable visibility near storms will also lead to the possibility of MVFR or lower conditions. Winds should generally prevail out of the north with improving conditions for sites after 12Z Friday. /NF/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
