NWS Jackson posts photos on Facebook
The U.S. National Weather Service in Jackson, Mississippi, posted photos on its Facebook page, the agency said in a social media update.
The National Weather Service (NWS) operates local forecast offices across the country to provide forecasts, watches and warnings, as well as public safety information. The Jackson office routinely uses social media to share photos and updates that illustrate current conditions and inform residents.
Photos posted by the NWS can help convey the scope and impacts of weather events more clearly than text alone. They are often used to support situational awareness for the public and emergency managers, document damage for later assessment and complement official advisories issued by forecasters.
Mississippi is regularly affected by severe thunderstorms, heavy rain and the occasional tornado during peak seasons, so timely visual updates can be an important tool for public preparedness. The Jackson office’s online posts are part of broader efforts by the NWS to reach communities through multiple platforms.
Details about the photos and the circumstances surrounding them were not provided in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
