Jackson, MS – A quiet sunrise greets central Mississippi this Sunday as thin clouds drift east and the air turns crisp. After a damp, cloudy stretch, residents can expect a full day of sunshine and mild warmth — the kind of autumn calm that feels borrowed time before the next round of showers. The National Weather Service in Jackson says skies will clear rapidly through morning with light north winds gusting near 15 mph before easing this afternoon.
According to the agency, highs will reach the mid-70s today, followed by another clear, cool evening dipping to around 48°F. Monday continues the dry spell with bright skies and comfortable highs near 77°F — ideal for fall yard work or outdoor events. Winds shift south by late day, signaling a change in the pattern ahead of Tuesday’s weak disturbance.
By Tuesday, scattered clouds increase with a slight chance of showers and a few isolated thunderstorms after midday. Highs will approach 79°F before a cooler breeze filters in behind the passing front. Wednesday brings sunshine and comfortable highs in the low 70s, while clear nights may flirt with the upper 40s again.
Looking ahead, late-week weather remains mild, but models hint at a broader cool-down heading into next weekend — a reminder that Mississippi’s first true fall chill could be just around the corner.
