JACKSON, Miss. – A light mist hovers across open fields this Halloween morning, softening the glow of porch lights and headlights on rural roads west of Jackson. The air feels cool and still — classic late-October calm — before bright sunshine quickly burns away the fog and warms the region into a comfortable, quiet weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, patchy fog will persist through midmorning, especially near waterways and low-lying areas along I-20. Visibility could briefly dip below a mile before clearing by late morning. Once the fog lifts, expect sunshine and dry air with highs reaching the mid to upper 60s. Winds remain light, making it a nearly perfect setup for trick-or-treating and outdoor Halloween events.
Saturday looks partly cloudy with mild temperatures near 67°F and only a slim chance of a sprinkle late in the day — no washout concerns. By Sunday, skies clear once again, bringing another run of sunshine and highs in the low 60s. Cooler air settles in by Sunday night, but readings stay well above frost levels, with lows near 38°F.
The pattern next week turns slightly warmer as November begins, with highs returning to the 70s under steady sunshine through midweek. The stretch will offer prime conditions for outdoor projects, travel, or early holiday decorating — a rare gift for early November.
Residents can expect the calm to hold into the first full week of the month before long-range models hint at a wetter system developing later next weekend.
