Staying clear with colder temperatures tonight

COLUMBUS, Mississippi (WCBI) – A hard freeze is expected overnight into Saturday morning. A slight and very brief warm up for this weekend before an arctic blast brings even colder temperatures across the southeast by the start of next week.

TONIGHT – Overnight lows will easily drop into the 20s, with readings as low as 21 or 22 degrees not out of the question! Radiational cooling high pressure working its magic.

TOMORROW – Expect a cold start for your Saturday morning with temperatures in the mid 20s! We’ll stay mostly clear with lots of sunshine for your Saturday afternoon with high temperatures only into the low 50s. We’ll stay mostly clear with overnight lows dropping into the upper 20s for Saturday night.

NEXT WEEK – Looking ahead towards our next work week, we have true arctic blast coming our way to bring us some of the coldest temperatures we’ve seen this season. Monday looks to be the coldest day with highs only into the mid to upper 40s.
