JACKSON, Miss. — Morning haze clings low over rooftops as the first light of dawn cuts through a humid November sky. The air feels more like early fall than mid-November, and that’s the story heading into Friday — Mississippi’s late-autumn warmth refuses to quit, at least for a few more days.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, Friday brings sunshine and unseasonably warm highs near 78°F. Light south winds will pick up slightly in the afternoon, adding a faint hint of Gulf moisture to the air. The stretch of clear, mild days continues into Saturday with highs climbing to near 80°F — an almost summerlike tease before the weather pattern shifts again.
Residents planning early holiday travel or weekend yard work will enjoy the dry spell through Sunday. However, the next change comes quickly. A new front approaches Monday, bringing a 20–30% chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms. Clouds will thicken late Monday into Tuesday as the front stalls near the region, hinting at a wetter setup for midweek.
While no severe weather is expected yet, models suggest a few rumbles of thunder and pockets of heavier rain could develop across I-55 and eastward toward Meridian. After the front clears, highs are expected to ease back into the low 70s with drier air returning.
For now, it’s a fine weekend to enjoy warm breezes, outdoor plans, and late-fall sunshine before the next November pattern change begins to stir.
