Sunshine and 70s Thursday, but a frosty weekend is possible on the Mississippi Coast
If you’ve been looking for a chance to get outside, this afternoon looks hard to top before things turn chillier. A few morning clouds will give way to more sunshine today as a cold front moves through. The air will feel drier, and a breeze may pick up, but temperatures should still reach the mild 70s this afternoon. It’s a great chance for a walk, a trip to the park or a little yardwork before chillier air settles in. The UV index is moderate, but you can still get a sunburn, so keep sunscreen handy if you’ll be outside for a while. COOLER FRIDAY... Today’s mild air won’t stick around for long. By tomorrow morning, temperatures will drop into the chilly 40s. A light breeze could make it feel closer to 40 degrees, with wind chills in the upper 30s in a few isolated spots. A sweater will be handy for tomorrow morning’s commute or school drop-off. Tomorrow afternoon will stay below 70 degrees across the area, though a few spots near Gulfport and Biloxi could come close. FROST POSSIBLE SATURDAY MORNING... The chill gets a little more noticeable Friday night into Saturday morning when much of South Mississippi will drop into the 30s. Frost is possible, especially where temperatures reach the mid-30s or colder. If you have cold-sensitive plants, keep an eye on the forecast and be ready to cover them or bring them inside Friday night. Frost isn’t a guarantee everywhere, but it’s worth planning ahead. Saturday afternoon won’t offer much of a warm-up in some spots, with temperatures struggling to get above 60 degrees. In other words, the weekend will feel a whole lot more like December than November. BOTTOM LINE... Enjoy Thursday’s sunshine and mild temperatures, then get ready for a cooler Friday and the possibility of frost Saturday morning. Stay with the WLOX First Alert Weather team for updates.
