Big changes in our weather heading our way

SUMMARY: We’ll have one more day of mild temperatures before those big changes in the forecast the second half of the workweek. Widespread rain moves into north Mississippi and west Alabama on Thursday. Then the surge of cold arctic air from Canada will be moving into the region as we head into the weekend. Some wintry weather chances could maybe occur early next week with the cold air lingering in place. It’s definitely something we’ll be watching closely. Stay tuned!

WEDNESDAY: Clouds will continue to increase throughout the day for our Wednesday. We’ll have one more day of mild temperatures with highs into mid to upper 60s, maybe lower 70s in our southern counties. Cooler 50s may be found closer to the TN/MS line. A few isolated showers are possible. South winds 5-10 mph.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with areas of rain developing. Overnight lows near 50 degrees.

THURSDAY: Areas of widespread rain. Could be heavy times. Temperatures will cool down a bit into the 50s for highs with gradually falling temperatures during the afternoon. North winds 5-15 mph.
