Mississippi — A gray sheet of low clouds hangs over Jackson this morning, muting the sky and keeping the air cool and still. Damp pavement reflects faint headlights during the early commute, offering the first hint that December’s unsettled weather may shift again as we approach Sunday.
Sprinkles may drift through town today as weak energy slides across central Mississippi. Amounts stay light, but any mist on colder bridge decks or shaded roadways could still create slick spots. Drivers should slow their approach on frontage roads and watch for wet patches where leaves have collected. Conditions ease later as winds calm and temperatures rise toward the upper 40s.
Meteorologists now track subtle moisture pockets that linger into tonight and early Saturday. A slight chance of showers continues, though most areas remain dry. Saturday trends warmer, reaching the upper 50s with breaks of sun by afternoon. To be fair, confidence is higher that clouds rebuild Saturday night, setting up Sunday’s 30% shower chance as a more organized disturbance passes north of the region.
Sunday temperatures climb into the low 60s, adding a springlike feel to early December. Still, light showers could affect church traffic, shopping corridors, and travel along I-55 and I-20 between midmorning and late afternoon. Visibility may drop briefly under the thicker cloud bands.
Looking ahead, models hint at a broader active zone forming across the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys between December 11–17, which may influence Gulf moisture later next week. No winter hazards appear locally yet, but weather shifts quickly this time of year. Keep rain gear handy and stay aware of fast-changing skies.
