Jackson, MS – Mississippi will see a milder-than-normal Sunday night, but patchy fog and areas of smoke could impact visibility in parts of the state by early Monday morning.
According to the US National Weather Service in Jackson, overnight low temperatures will range between 50 and 55 degrees statewide — about 5 to 10 degrees warmer than average for early March. Mostly clear skies are expected through the night, creating calm conditions across much of central and southern Mississippi.
However, forecasters caution that patchy fog may develop in low-lying and rural areas, especially near rivers and open fields. Light smoke could also linger in some spots, potentially reducing visibility at times.
The mild temperatures are expected across communities including Jackson in Hinds County, Meridian in Lauderdale County, Vicksburg in Warren County, and surrounding areas throughout central Mississippi.
Drivers heading out early Monday should allow extra travel time and be alert for sudden drops in visibility, particularly along rural highways and bridges. Fog can develop quickly overnight and become locally dense in isolated pockets before sunrise.
No severe weather or widespread rain is expected tonight, and conditions should gradually improve after daybreak Monday as temperatures warm and visibility increases.
