Jackson, MS — A mild and pleasant November day is in store for central and western Mississippi as a cold front gradually sags southward across the region. While the word “cold front” might conjure images of sharp temperature drops and blustery conditions, this one will be relatively subtle, providing only a slight change in wind direction and delivering a few passing clouds across the state.
High temperatures this afternoon will climb into the upper 70s to lower 80s, with many locations—such as Vicksburg, Natchez, Brookhaven, and Meridian—topping out around 79–82°F. Communities farther north, including Yazoo City, Greenville, and Greenwood, will trend a few degrees cooler but still comfortably warm for mid-November, generally peaking between 77–79°F.
Behind the front, winds will turn more northerly, ushering in a drier air mass. Although the breeze won’t be particularly strong, the subtle shift will help reduce humidity levels and give the day a fresh, crisp feel by late afternoon. Sunshine will dominate for most areas, though patches of clouds may drift through at times as the front moves southward.
Overall, travel conditions across the region will remain excellent today. No precipitation is expected, visibility will stay high, and road surfaces will remain dry. For outdoor plans—whether yardwork, afternoon walks, or pre-holiday errands—the weather will be cooperative and comfortable.
Tonight, temperatures are expected to cool a bit more noticeably behind the front, setting the stage for seasonable lows and a cooler start to the week. Early next week, high pressure will build in more firmly, likely keeping the weather quiet and conditions stable.
Residents should enjoy the pleasant warmth today as more typical November air slowly reclaims the region in the days ahead.
