NWS Jackson posts photos on Facebook

The National Weather Service office in Jackson, Mississippi, recently posted photos on its Facebook page, according to the office’s social media post.

The Jackson office is part of the National Weather Service, the federal agency responsible for forecasting weather, issuing warnings and providing weather-related information to the public. Local NWS offices routinely use social media to share observations, safety information and updates during changing weather conditions.

Photos shared by NWS offices can help residents and emergency managers visualize conditions on the ground, enhance situational awareness and inform preparedness decisions. Social media has become an important tool for the agency to reach audiences quickly, supplement forecasts and encourage people to follow official guidance during significant weather events.

The Facebook post accompanying the photos included limited additional information. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
