We awakened to a visit from another in the series of clipper systems that will continue to rotate through the area for the next few days. Just as I said yesterday, you can expect around an inch of snow per visit, give or take, with a bit of mixed sunshine between snow shots.
Taking a look at Tru-Track Doppler, you can see the snow working through the area, it's coincident with a low-level jet streak (that's a section of air with wind noticeably higher than the surrounding winds aloft, typically between 4 and 10 thousand feet), and it's being pushed almost due west even though winds are out of the south down here on the ground.
All of this is being driven by a surface low up in Canada, and a trough that is allowing cold air into it, that cold air is impacting us. Forecast model solutions indicate that we'll see maybe a brief pocket of clearing or two between now and Saturday, but what you should prepare for is gray, snowy in bursts, and chilly.
Here's a look at the forecast for Jackson and vicinity:
Today, mainly cloudy, perhaps a few peeks of sun, bursts of snow, high 26, wind SW 7-14 MPH. These will put wind chills into the single digits.
Tonight, a break or two in the clouds, still some shots of snow, cold, lows near 15, wind chills down around zero. Wind SW 5-10.
Friday, more clouds than clear skies, periods of light snow, colder, high only 19. Wind SW 6-12 MPH.
More forecast for you later. Have a great day!
