NWS Jackson posts weather photos on Facebook
The National Weather Service office in Jackson, Mississippi, posted photos on its official Facebook page, the office said in a social media post. The images were shared to provide visual information to residents and local emergency managers.
The National Weather Service is the federal agency responsible for weather forecasting, watches and warnings across the United States. Local NWS offices, including the Jackson office, monitor conditions, issue advisories and provide guidance tailored to their service areas.
Photos and other visual updates on social media can help the public better understand current conditions, corroborate forecast information and assist community leaders and first responders in assessing impacts. The posts also serve as a communication tool during severe weather events when rapid, clear information is critical for safety.
The office frequently uses online platforms to share forecasts, safety tips and post-event information. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
