Jackson, MS – Patchy rain and occasional light showers continue to move southeast across central Mississippi this afternoon, but forecasters say conditions will gradually improve before nightfall.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, a strong low-pressure system moving east across the Deep South is driving the light rainfall activity. Radar as of 3:13 p.m. Sunday shows scattered bands of rain across areas including Jackson, Hinds County, and surrounding communities in the central part of the state.
The good news for residents across the Jackson metro area and much of central Mississippi: rainfall amounts are expected to remain very light. Forecasters say most locations will see only trace amounts up to one-hundredth of an inch.
Over the next few hours, slightly cooler and drier air will filter into the region under gusty northwest winds. Rain is expected to taper off shortly after sunset Sunday evening, leading to improving travel conditions for the overnight hours.
Drivers may notice brief wet roadways during heavier pockets of showers, but widespread flooding or significant impacts are not anticipated.
Residents planning evening activities should see conditions gradually clearing, with calmer weather expected to settle in overnight.
