Jackson, MS – Mississippi is in for a hot start to autumn as temperatures climb into the mid-90s today, with cities like Jackson, Vicksburg, and Yazoo City expected to hit highs of 94°F. Residents are advised to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours.
According to the National Weather Service, skies will remain mostly clear overnight, with temperatures dipping into the low 70s, providing some relief. Those along the Gulf Coast should be mindful of rip currents, which are expected to stay low today but could increase by Thursday. This presents a heightened risk for beachgoers later in the week.
Looking ahead, the forecast for Monday predicts a slight cool-down, with highs around 89°F and lows continuing in the comfortable 70s. The rest of the week should see a gradual decrease in temperatures, hitting the mid-80s by Wednesday and cooling further by Thursday.
