Jackson, MS – Streetlights glow dimly through thick morning fog as drivers ease along wet pavement. It’s a quiet start across central Mississippi, but changes are on the horizon — showers are poised to move in by Sunday, followed by a crisp, cooler Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, clouds will increase through Sunday, bringing a 30% chance of rain by afternoon. Temperatures rise into the low 60s, unseasonably warm for early December, before a cold front sweeps through Sunday night, dropping lows near 41°F. Drivers should prepare for patchy fog and reduced visibility along I-20 and Highway 49, especially late Sunday into early Monday.
By Monday, skies clear and sunshine returns, but temperatures will fall sharply — highs near 52°F with overnight lows dipping toward 30°F. Northwest winds between 5–10 mph will bring a noticeable chill, signaling a shift toward early-winter patterns across the Deep South.
The calm will hold briefly as Tuesday and Wednesday bring mild, sunny weather with highs in the mid-50s. However, models hint that by late next week (Dec. 11–17), a new cold front could tap into Gulf moisture, introducing renewed rain chances — and a potential for freezing temps in northern Mississippi.
5-Day Outlook:
- Sunday: Showers, high 63°F, low 41°F.
- Monday: Mostly sunny, high 52°F, low 30°F.
- Tuesday: Sunny, high 56°F.
- Wednesday: Partly sunny, high 67°F.
- Thursday: Clear, high 58°F.
