Overview
- A cold front crossing the state Saturday keeps skies overcast with highs holding in the upper 50s north, low 60s around Jackson, and near 70 in far south Mississippi.
- Sunday turns more seasonal with highs generally in the upper 50s to low 60s under partly cloudy skies.
- Temperatures rebound early next week as a ridge builds, bringing morning lows near 60 and afternoon highs in the mid to upper 70s.
- Jackson could challenge daily records Thursday, and highs Wednesday and Thursday may rank among the top five warmest for the period.
- Forecasters expect a late-week boundary to bring showers and a few storms followed by a cooldown, with confidence in the post-front drop increasing.
