Mississippi wakes to cool air and clear skies, but the warmth is already lining up.
Across central Mississippi, early temperatures hover in the mid-40s around Jackson. The air feels calm and slightly damp, with a light breeze brushing across neighborhoods and open fields. Jackets are useful now, but they won’t stay needed long.
Sunshine quickly takes over through the morning. Temperatures rise fast, climbing toward 70 degrees by afternoon. The shift feels dramatic for February, especially after recent cool mornings. Outdoor plans benefit immediately.
Tonight stays mild for this time of year. Lows settle near the upper 30s, with mostly clear skies and light winds. No travel issues develop, and roads remain dry.
Saturday holds onto the pleasant trend. Sunshine dominates again, though highs dip slightly to the upper 50s. The air feels comfortable and quiet, a calm pause before another surge of warmth.
Sunday brings the bigger change. Highs rebound to the upper 60s, and the day feels more like late March. Light winds and bright skies encourage outdoor activity across the Jackson metro.
The warm pattern strengthens early next week. Monday pushes into the low 70s, well above February averages. Trees and lawns respond quickly, even if winter is not fully gone.
By Tuesday and Wednesday, clouds increase and rain chances slowly return. Showers remain scattered for now, but warmer nights reduce any cold-weather concerns. Drivers should still watch for slick spots if rain falls after dark.
Meteorologists continue tracking a broader warming trend across the southern U.S. That pattern supports above-normal temperatures through much of next week. For now, winter steps aside.
Enjoy the mild stretch, but remember February can still surprise. How warm does it feel in your neighborhood this morning?
