NWS Jackson posts photos on Facebook
The U.S. National Weather Service office in Jackson, Mississippi, recently posted photos on its official Facebook page, the agency said in a social media update.
The National Weather Service (NWS) is the federal agency responsible for issuing forecasts, watches and warnings that protect life and property. Local NWS offices, such as the Jackson office, routinely use social media to share radar images, weather observations and photos that illustrate local conditions.
Photos posted by weather offices can help people better understand current conditions, visualize hazards and make timely safety decisions. Visuals often accompany forecasts and alerts to show impacts such as heavy rain, flooding, strong winds or notable cloud formations, and they can improve situational awareness for residents, emergency managers and media outlets.
For additional context and updates, people can view the Jackson office’s official social media channels and the NWS website for forecasts and safety information. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
