11/11/26- Gusty winds Thursday, then a FREEZE by this weekend
Winter is about to make a surprise cameo along the Gulf Coast. A strong cold front is set to sweep through late this week, and forecasters say it could push temperatures to or near freezing across parts of the Deep South by the weekend. Parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana...
The first in a series of cold fronts over the next few days is forecast to push temperatures down into the upper 30s in this part of central Mississippi tonight. But that’s only the beginning of our cold snap. The lows Friday night are expected to be near 30, maybe dipping into the upper 20s in the Kosciusko area. Saturday night’s lows will range from 30-33 degrees with low to mid 30s Sunday night.
Sudden flashes, fiery streaks and brilliant fireballs could become more noticeable across Mississippi as Nov. 17 approaches.
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) -Warm weather wraps up today before a cold front moves through tonight into early Thursday morning. Although most of the area will remain dry, stray showers are possible across Central Mississippi as the front passes. Rainfall totals will be minuscule, but the most noticeable change will be gusts up to 20mph. After tonight, temperatures will drop noticeably, and conditions will turn much drier.

If you’re heading out for Veterans Day plans this morning, take an umbrella and be ready for wet roads. The good news? We’ll have a chance to enjoy some sunshine before the day is done. Scattered showers are moving from west to east across Coastal Mississippi, with rain especially likely along the Interstate 10 corridor. The chance for rain is 50% to 60% this morning, but I don’t expect widespread downpours, flooding or much, if any, thunder. For areas dealing with drought and burn bans, the rain will be a welcome sight. A DRIER AFTERNOON... Temperatures start in the 60s this morning and climb to around 70 degrees by noon as some sunshine begins to break through. Highs will reach the mild mid 70s. If you’re hoping to spend time outside, this afternoon looks like the better bet. Rain chances drop as the day goes on, falling to 10% or less by this evening. Whether you’re heading to a Veterans Day event or taking a walk, you should have plenty of dry hours to enjoy. CHILLY CHANGES AHEAD... A cold front arrives Thursday, setting the stage for a noticeably cooler end to the week. Highs remain in the 70s Thursday before falling into the 60s Friday. Morning temperatures will tell the story: We’re expecting lows in the 50s Thursday morning, the 40s Friday morning and the mid- to upper 30s Saturday morning. A FROSTY WEEKEND? Saturday morning could be the coldest part of the stretch, with the potential for frost. Before heading to bed Friday night, consider bringing sensitive plants inside or covering those that need to stay outdoors. Sunday morning could also bring temperatures in the 30s. How cold the overnight temperatures get will depend in part on clouds and wind: More of either could keep temperatures from falling quite as much. Sunday turns breezier, so you may want a jacket for outdoor plans. BOTTOM LINE... Plan for showers this morning, then enjoy the drier afternoon. Keep a close eye on the WLOX First Alert weather forecast as the weekend approaches, especially if you have plants or outdoor plans affected by the cold. Scattered showers could return Monday, followed by drier, breezy weather Tuesday.
After temperatures reached the lower 90s less than a month ago, a colder air mass threatens plants and outdoor plumbing this weekend.
