A Really Nice Setup for the First Weekend of Spring.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Saturday, we kick off the weekend with a warm spring feel across the metro and surrounding counties. You may see some patchy fog early in the morning, but generally expect a mix of sunshine and passing clouds, but overall staying dry for most spots. Afternoon highs climb into the lower 80s, running well above normal (70) for mid-March. A light south breeze keeps things a little humid, but comfortable. Overnight lows near 60 (normal is 47).

Sunday looks to be even better! We’ll see more sunshine across central Mississippi, and it stays warm with highs again pushing into the low to mid 80s. We stay dry even into the start of next week. Our next chance for rain looks to hold off until at least midweek — and even then, it’s pretty spotty at best.
