Jackson, Mississippi – A thin layer of mist drapes the pine tops across central Mississippi this morning, the air still and chilled but calm. By the time the sun breaks through, clouds will begin to lift and a pattern shift will take hold — one that starts with a brief brush of frost before an extended stretch of warm, golden November days.
The National Weather Service in Jackson reports increasing clouds through today with highs near 68°F. By tonight, skies clear as calm air settles in, dropping temperatures into the low 40s. Those clear skies and calm winds will help radiate heat away Sunday night, setting up the first patchy frost of the season for parts of central and northern Mississippi by early Monday. Sensitive plants, early garden starts, and outdoor hoses should be protected before dusk Sunday.
After the cool start, Monday turns bright and mild with highs near 66°F — a sign of the warm-up that builds quickly through midweek. By Tuesday, temperatures climb into the lower 70s, and Wednesday could approach 78°F under abundant sunshine. It’s a perfect stretch for outdoor cleanup after Halloween or early Christmas decorating before Thanksgiving travel ramps up later this month.
To be fair, Mississippi’s pattern remains seasonally steady for now, but models hint at a stronger front late next weekend that could bring the first real cold snap of November. Until then, residents can enjoy this comfortable transition week — brisk mornings, warm afternoons, and crystal-clear skies stretching over the Magnolia State.
