Mississippi residents planning early Black Friday shopping should prepare for frosty conditions and chilly temperatures, especially near the Natchez Trace Parkway. After a cold Thanksgiving night with lows dropping to 31°F, Friday morning will begin with widespread frost, creating potentially slick conditions on shaded roadways and elevated surfaces. Shoppers heading out early should allow extra time to clear windshields and navigate frosty roads safely.
Friday’s high will only reach 54°F, with brisk north winds making it feel even cooler. Layer up to stay warm during early-morning sales or outdoor activities. The sunshine later in the day will help melt any lingering frost, but temperatures will remain crisp throughout the afternoon.
Heading into the weekend, frosty starts will continue. Saturday morning will bring lows near 33°F, with frost likely in low-lying and rural areas. Sunny skies and a high of 58°F will make Saturday a great day for outdoor activities or post-Thanksgiving errands. Sunday follows a similar pattern, starting with morning frost before warming up to the high 50s under clear skies.
Whether shopping or exploring Mississippi’s scenic roads, plan ahead for frosty mornings and cool afternoons. Stay tuned to local forecasts for updates on conditions.
