Jackson, MS – North Mississippi residents should prepare for a freeze warning in effect from 10 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Saturday. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Jackson forecasts sub-freezing temperatures as low as 26 degrees for areas including Bolivar, Sunflower, and Leflore Counties.
Sensitive plants and outdoor plumbing are at risk during this freeze. Residents are encouraged to cover vegetation, bring potted plants indoors, and insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing and bursting. Outdoor pets should also have access to warm shelter.
The freeze warning comes as holiday shoppers hit the roads for Black Friday, potentially creating hazardous driving conditions due to frost. Those traveling in the early morning hours should allow extra time to prepare their vehicles and drive cautiously.
The advisory will expire at 8 a.m. Saturday, but colder temperatures may persist into the weekend. Residents are advised to keep an eye on local weather updates and prepare for potential additional advisories.
