Getting Colder…

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) — Now that the cold front has moved out of our area, conditions will be getting colder over the next couple of days, with temperatures dropping below freezing for the first time this season by Friday night.

THURSDAY: We will have plenty of sunshine across the Twin States region today. The high will reach 68°. It will also be pretty breezy out there, with northwesterly winds of 5 to 15 mph and gusts up to 20 mph.

THURSDAY NIGHT: With mostly clear skies and strong flow out of the north-northwest at 5 to 10 mph, it will be getting colder pretty rapidly through the overnight hours. The low temperature will be around 38° in the Golden Triangle. However, closer to the Mississippi-Tennessee border, some areas could get below freezing tonight.

FRIDAY: Tomorrow’s high won’t even make it into the sixties, reaching only around 57°. Sunny skies as well as windy conditions will persist through the day. Winds will be out of the north-northwest at 5 to 15 mph, with gusts reaching 20 mph at times. Overnight, pretty much our entire area will drop below freezing. So, definitely bundle up if you’re heading out for Friday Night Lights, and bring any vulnerable pets and plants indoors.
