NWS Jackson posts Weather Update on Facebook

The National Weather Service office in Jackson, Mississippi posted a brief “WEATHER UPDATE” on its Facebook page. The post consisted of the two-word notice and did not include additional details or a follow-up explanation.

The Jackson office is part of the National Weather Service, the federal agency that issues forecasts, watches and warnings to protect life and property. Local NWS offices monitor developing weather conditions and provide guidance to emergency managers, broadcasters and the public.

Short notifications from the NWS can signal changing conditions that merit attention. Residents in Mississippi and nearby areas should monitor official sources for more information, including the NWS website, NOAA Weather Radio and the office’s social media accounts, as well as local media and emergency management agencies.

At this time no further information was included in the social media post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
