FXUS64 KJAN 020635 AFDJAN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 135 AM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025 ...New DISCUSSION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 135 AM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025 In general, the evolving weather pattern of the next several days will support lower rain chances as drier air is ushered into our forecast area. The two main drivers of this pattern will be upper- level ridging that will shift from the Plains eastward toward the Mid-South and a low pressure disturbance slowly drifting west along the Gulf Coast region. Subsidence associated with the ridge and the southward trajectory of drier continental air between these two features should push regional PWAT values below 1.5 inches for about the northeastern 2/3rds of the forecast area Wednesday. Ribbons of deeper moisture values will remain on the edges of our area, so some parts of the area may still have an isolated shower or storm possible, but the net effect is lower rain chances across the area. Northeast and central LA and southern portions of MS retain rain chances for Wednesday afternoon. Mostly drier weather expected Thursday and again on Friday, July 4th. Area residents should still mind the weather as an isolated shower or storm cannot be ruled out for the holiday afternoon/evening. Depending on exactly how the coastal disturbance evolves, these "ribbons" of moisture may overspread portions of the region with very slight rain chances in the forecast at this time through Sunday. Increased humidity and more typical summery temperatures and afternoon/evening chances for showers and thunderstorms build back into the area for Monday and Tuesday next week. /NF/ && .AVIATION...
