Jackson, Mississippi – Quiet and sunny weather is settling in across Mississippi on Saturday following the passage of a dry cold front.
According to the US National Weather Service in Jackson, clear skies and calm conditions are expected across the region today. Afternoon high temperatures will be slightly cooler than Friday, ranging from the lower 50s in northern Mississippi to the lower 60s farther south.
Cities along and near Interstate 55, Interstate 20, Interstate 59, and U.S. Highway 61 will experience favorable travel conditions, with dry roads and good visibility throughout the day. No precipitation is expected, and winds will remain light, adding to the calm weather pattern.
Temperatures around Jackson, Vicksburg, Greenwood, and Yazoo City are forecast to reach the mid to upper 50s, while Hattiesburg, Brookhaven, and Natchez may see highs closer to 60 to 62 degrees. Areas in northeast Mississippi, including Columbus and Eupora, are expected to remain in the lower to mid 50s.
The cooler temperatures are the result of a dry cold front that moved through the area overnight, ushering in a drier air mass without producing rain. Despite the cooler air, conditions remain seasonable for early February.
Overnight lows tonight are expected to fall into the 30s, especially in areas away from urban centers. Skies will remain mostly clear, allowing temperatures to drop efficiently after sunset.
This calm weather setup may be especially beneficial for commuters, students, and outdoor workers, as well as those traveling for weekend activities. With no hazardous weather expected, Saturday offers a break from recent unsettled conditions.
Residents are encouraged to enjoy the sunshine while continuing to monitor official National Weather Service forecasts for any changes heading into the upcoming week.
