Mississippi – Low clouds drift over central Mississippi this morning as damp air clings to roads and rooftops, giving the day a muted, heavy feel. In Jackson, temperatures sit in the low 60s, unusually mild for early January, with light winds keeping conditions calm for now.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, skies remain mostly cloudy early before gradual breaks develop. Highs reach the lower 60s today, and while travel issues remain limited, shaded roads may stay damp through midday. Tonight turns cooler but not cold, with lows settling near the low 40s.
Sunshine becomes more dominant Sunday. Highs climb into the low 60s again, and the air feels noticeably lighter by afternoon. Sunday night stays quiet, setting up a sharp warm-up that pushes winter farther into the background as the first full workweek of 2026 begins.
By Monday, temperatures surge near 70 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Southerly winds increase during the day, signaling a more active pattern. Tuesday turns warmer and breezier, with highs in the mid-70s and gusts approaching 20 mph at times. Loose objects may shift, and high-profile vehicles could feel the wind on exposed roadways.
Clouds thicken Tuesday night into Wednesday. While daytime conditions remain warm, rain chances begin to creep in later Wednesday and beyond. That shift brings slick roads and changing visibility, especially during evening travel.
Plan outdoor activities early in the week while conditions stay dry. Keep umbrellas handy as midweek approaches. January warmth feels welcome, but change arrives quickly.
