FXUS64 KJAN 110250 AFDJAN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 850 PM CST Wed Dec 10 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Dry conditions with seasonably cool temperatures can be expected through Thursday Night. - Milder weather is expected Friday into Saturday ahead of an approaching cold front. - Colder weather with lows below freezing should return Sunday and persist into early next week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 603 PM CST Wed Dec 10 2025 Tonight through next Tuesday night: Dry northwest flow aloft will be the primary weather influence in our area, and this will result in seasonable temperatures with little chance for any more than light rainfall as we finish up this week and go through the weekend. A cold front passing through this afternoon is bringing a glancing shot of continental polar air that will result in freezing temperatures tonight for mainly northern/eastern portions of the area, and this brief cool down will persist through Thursday night. There will be a brief but significant warm-up Friday/Saturday in the return flow ahead of stronger cold front approaching from the north. A quick round of showers will accompany the front and bring light rainfall (less than a quarter of an inch on average), then much chillier temperatures will follow the frontal passage as we go from late Saturday night into early next week. Forecast confidence for this round of colder temperatures continues to increase, and the intensity of the cold forecast has increased just a bit more as more guidance points to a significant polar high surging south through the MS Valley. The cold anomalies should be centered on Monday morning when lows could dip into the upper teens north of the Highway 82 corridor, but dangerous levels of cold are not expected for the most part and the coldest air will only make a brief visit. Look for temperatures to rebound and rainfall chances increase a bit as we go into mid next week. /EC/ && .AVIATION...
