Light rain ripples through central Mississippi this morning, dimming headlights and slicking pavement across Jackson as a chill breeze moves in from the northwest. The late-fall air feels heavier, cooler—signaling a quick shift from mild rain to a dry, crisp stretch ahead.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, early morning temperatures sit near 37°F with rain gradually ending as clouds begin to thin. Skies will clear through the day, but gusty north winds up to 20 mph will make it feel closer to the upper 20s. Roads may remain damp through midday, and early commuters should drive carefully with reduced visibility and wet intersections.
By midweek, Mississippi steps into its first true taste of December calm. Wednesday brings bright sunshine and highs near 57°F, though the air stays cool and dry. Another round of showers arrives late Thursday into Friday as a new front pushes in from the west, bringing a fresh round of soaking rain for much of central and southern Mississippi.
While no severe weather is expected, drivers should prepare for slick conditions late in the week as temperatures fall back near the lower 40s during the evening commute. Early risers Thursday may see fog patches forming as humidity rebounds.
Plan to keep jackets handy and windshield wipers ready—December’s cooler rhythm is setting in across the Magnolia State as winter slowly takes hold.
