Mississippi – Cool air settles over central Mississippi early, with car roofs damp from dew and a faint chill lingering near sunrise. Temperatures sit in the mid-30s around Jackson, just cold enough to feel like winter before a sharp shift unfolds.
According to the National Weather Service, sunshine dominates the day and temperatures surge toward the upper 60s. Calm winds early allow the cool air to linger, but warming accelerates by late morning. Outdoor plans benefit quickly as jackets become optional by afternoon.
Travel conditions remain quiet, though drivers on I-55 and I-20 may notice light fog pockets near low-lying areas early. Visibility improves fast once the sun rises. For now, the bigger story is how fast winter loosens its grip.
Tonight stays mild for February, with lows holding near 49 degrees. Monday pushes the change further. Mostly sunny skies drive highs into the mid-70s, well above seasonal averages. The air feels more like early spring than midwinter.
By Tuesday, clouds increase as a weak system approaches. Highs again reach the mid-70s, with humidity slowly rising. Showers become possible Tuesday night into Wednesday, especially during the afternoon hours. Roads may turn wet, though widespread impacts look limited at this stage.
Midweek warmth holds firm. Wednesday stays mild despite spotty showers, and Thursday remains above normal with another chance for rain later in the day. No cold air follows immediately, allowing the thaw to continue.
Looking into the 6–10 day window, above-normal temperatures appear likely across Mississippi. While cooler mornings still pop up, signs of spring grow stronger heading toward late next week.
