JACKSON, Miss. – Wisps of fog drift through quiet neighborhoods this morning, softening the city lights as cool air settles across the capital. Temperatures near 38°F and calm winds have created ideal conditions for patchy fog and light frost in sheltered areas, especially north of I-20 and along low-lying roads around Clinton and Brandon.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, fog will lift by midmorning, giving way to brilliant sunshine and a mild, comfortable day. Highs will reach the upper 60s this afternoon with light breezes and low humidity—classic early-November weather perfect for yard work, school events, or outdoor dining.
The warming trend continues through Wednesday and Thursday as highs soar into the mid- to upper-70s, even nearing 80°F in some southern counties. Skies will stay clear and dry, offering excellent travel conditions across central Mississippi and along I-55. For those planning early Veterans Day ceremonies or holiday prep, this stretch marks one of the most pleasant weeks of fall so far.
However, subtle pattern changes begin Thursday night. Clouds will gradually return, and the first chance for scattered showers appears Friday into Saturday. While rain totals are expected to stay light, the increase in moisture could briefly interrupt outdoor plans heading into the weekend.
Residents should remain alert for fog during early mornings this week and enjoy the mild warmth before a cooler shift returns mid-month—a sign that winter isn’t far behind.
