Area Forecast Discussion . UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 609 PM CDT Thu Aug 6 2020

UPDATE. Updated for 00Z aviation discussion

AVIATION. 00Z TAF discussion: VFR conditions will prevail through Friday afternoon. /22/

DISCUSSION. Tonight and Friday: The persistent mid level ridge will begin to weaken a bit moving forward as ridging becomes dominant over TX into the northern Gulf of Mexico. The main impact of the ridging will be to warm the column which will continue to suppress convection and allow for slightly warmer temperatures Friday. Dewpoints remaining in the 60s will keep overnight lows pleasant and afternoon minimum relative humidities around 40%./GG/

This weekend: Hot and somewhat drier conditions will continue into the weekend as mid/upper ridging over both the Plains and the northern Atlantic builds into the area slightly. Greater deep layer moisture will also begin to seep back over the area by Saturday. Low level moisture will begin to tick back up as well, though daytime mixing will likely allow dewpoints in some areas to fall into the 60s each day. The strengthening ridge and continued mixing will result in rather warm conditions over the weekend, with highs solidly into the mid 90s and pushing near the upper 90s. Diurnal convection will gradually work its way back into the forecast, mainly across the far south on Saturday and building farther northward on Sunday. With the increasing moisture, heat indices in the triple digits will become increasingly likely, and readings near 105 will be more possible by Sunday, especially farther north where clouds and precip will be less prevalent/ possible. We may eventually need to advertise increasing heat stress concerns in the HWO as we get closer.

Monday through next Thursday: A trend toward wetter and more humid conditions will exist for the new work week. A weakness will once again increase over the Deep South between those two mid/upper ridge axes, resulting in increasing rain chances each day through the week with precip likely by the Wednesday/Thursday time frame. Heat stress concerns will linger into Monday as temps are still expected to get well into the mid 90s and less mixing takes place during the daytime. However, through the week greater coverage of clouds and rain is expected to increasingly limit high temps. This will help limit heat index concerns later in the week, even as rather humid conditions persist. /DL/

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
