JACKSON, MS – The sound of rain tapping on rooftops marks a gray start to Mississippi’s Sunday as showers spread across the region. Streets are damp, air is thick, and temperatures hover near 55°F — a prelude to a quick cool-down that will carry through early Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, rain remains likely through Monday morning, with localized downpours and gusty winds up to 20 mph possible. Drivers should expect reduced visibility and slick pavement, especially along I-55 and Highway 49, where ponding may slow traffic.
Temperatures fall steadily through Monday, dropping from the low 50s to the mid-30s by Tuesday morning. A few lingering showers may mix with cooler air, signaling the region’s first December cold snap. While snow remains unlikely this far south, the pattern shift points to colder mornings and potential frost risks by midweek.
By Tuesday afternoon, high pressure builds in, clearing skies and bringing a welcome return of sunshine. The middle of the week looks crisp but dry, perfect for early holiday decorating or outdoor cleanup after a soggy start.
