Jackson, MS – The skies over central Mississippi start gray and heavy, a soft mist clinging to streetlights and lawns as dawn breaks. Pavement glistens from light sprinkles earlier this morning, but clearing skies are on the way as cooler, drier air filters southward.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, clouds will gradually break through midday, bringing sunshine and highs near 63°F. Winds shift northwest at 10 to 15 mph, adding a cool, fall feel to the air by afternoon. Conditions turn calm and mostly clear tonight with lows near 40°F, allowing patchy fog to form early Friday morning.
Friday will be bright and comfortable, with highs near 66°F and plenty of sun — perfect for early weekend plans. Saturday stays mild near 67°F, though a slight 20% chance of light showers could develop by late evening. Sunday brings similar warmth before another round of spotty sprinkles and cooler air early next week.
Long-range trends suggest Mississippi may avoid the sharp cold snaps hitting parts of the Midwest and Northeast in mid-November, but cooler mornings are likely to return. Gardeners and homeowners should plan for patchy frost potential by mid-month, especially north of Jackson.
For now, the late-fall rhythm sets in — crisp mornings, mild afternoons, and just enough sun to make cleanup weather ideal before the next cool-down arrives.
