Plain English

What these alerts mean

A warning means the hazard is happening or about to; a watch means conditions favour it; an advisory is a lesser hazard still worth planning around.

Special Weather Statement

A heads-up about conditions that do not meet warning or advisory criteria but still deserve attention, such as a strong storm, patchy fog or a brief burst of snow.

Red Flag Warning

Critical fire weather: dry fuels, low humidity and gusty winds. Any fire can spread rapidly; avoid outdoor burning.

Wind Advisory

Sustained winds of 30 mph or more, or gusts to 45 mph, are expected. Use caution driving high-profile vehicles.

Fire Weather Watch

Critical fire weather conditions are possible. Postpone outdoor burning.

Dense Fog Advisory

Visibility of a quarter mile or less is expected. Slow down and use low beams.

Coastal Flood Advisory

Minor coastal flooding is expected, usually around high tide. Expect water on low-lying roads near the shore.

Tropical Storm Warning

Tropical storm conditions (sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph) are expected within 36 hours. Finish preparations.

Hurricane Watch

Hurricane conditions are possible within 48 hours. Prepare your home and review evacuation routes.

Storm Surge Warning

Life-threatening inundation from rising water moving inland from the shoreline is expected. Evacuate if ordered.

Hurricane Warning

Hurricane conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph or more) are expected within 36 hours. Complete preparations and follow evacuation orders.

Flood Watch

Conditions are favourable for flooding. Have a plan in case a warning is issued.

Questions

About Jackson County alerts

How do I get Jackson County weather alerts on my iPhone?

Install Forecast Bar, add Jackson County as a location, and turn on severe weather alerts. Every NWS warning, watch and advisory for Jackson County then arrives as a push notification at the moment of issue, with Critical Alerts available for the most dangerous warnings. Forecast Bar also runs on iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple TV.

Where do these alerts come from?

From the National Weather Service alert feed (api.weather.gov). NWS issues alerts by county and by forecast zone; this page lists every product that names Jackson County. Forecast Bar checks the feed continuously and this page refreshes within a few minutes of a change.

What is the difference between a watch, a warning and an advisory?

A warning means the hazard is occurring, imminent or very likely: act now. A watch means conditions are favourable for it to develop: prepare and stay informed. An advisory covers a hazard that is less serious than a warning but can still cause real inconvenience or danger if you are not ready for it.

Can I get this data as JSON?

Yes. /weather-alerts/ms/jackson-county.json returns the active alerts, the last 30 days and the 12-month counts for Jackson County, refreshed every minute. Please cache responses and credit National Weather Service as the source.
