Morning showers give way to sunshine, but a frosty weekend is ahead

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.

Coldest temperatures of the season possible next week

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) -Patchy frost is possible Sunday morning as winds calm down and skies clear. Low-lying areas in the shade are the most likely places to see this. Temperatures are expected to fall into the mid to upper 30s for much of the area; however, there’s some uncertainty because clouds could linger and keep temperatures from dropping as much as expected. Either way, it’s a good time to bring sensitive plants indoors or cover them, and make sure pets and people have protection from the cold.
