National Weather Service Updates Lambert/Marks Forecast for Coming Week

The National Weather Service revised the local forecast for Lambert and Marks in Quitman County with an update dated Jan. 7-8, 2026. The point forecast page for the coordinate (34.21 N, -90.28 W) was refreshed with routine forecast text and a discussion outlining expectations for the coming week, including day-to-day highs and lows, chances of precipitation, and any short-term hazards that forecasters identified.

The page serves as the official guidance source for residents planning travel, school activities, agricultural work, and other daily decisions. In addition to the narrative forecast and discussion, the update lists mesoscale products that aid in identifying short-lived or localized weather features and river and river-stage products that inform flood potential for low-lying areas along local waterways. The page also provides direct links to the latest radar imagery and any hazard statements, watches, warnings, or advisories if they are in effect.

Local impact from the update is practical and immediate. Quitman County residents use point forecasts to determine hour-by-hour conditions, precipitation probability, and temperature swings that affect morning commutes, road conditions, and outdoor labor. River and river-stage products are particularly important for households and infrastructure near the Tallahatchie River and other waterways, where rising stages can influence road closures and property risk. Emergency managers and public works officials rely on the same products to coordinate responses and issue local notices when the situation warrants.

The Jan. 7-8 update also notes the forecast validity for the week beginning on those dates and records the time of the last update on the forecast page. Timely revisions help local agencies and residents adapt plans as conditions evolve, but users should consult the forecast page directly for hour-by-hour details and to confirm whether any watches, warnings, or advisories have been issued since that update.

For Quitman County, the routine yet essential practice of monitoring the NWS point forecast supports public safety, travel decisions, and economic activity in agriculture and transportation. Residents and officials should check the Lambert/Marks forecast page regularly, especially before travel and outdoor work, to ensure they are acting on the most current weather guidance and any active hazard information.
