Jackson Forecast Puts Highs in Low-90s Next Week as Rain Chances Increase

3 articles · Updated · WLBT · Aug 22

Summary

  • Jackson is expected to cool slightly next week after repeated 100-degree days, with highs settling closer to average in the low to mid 90s.
  • Overnight showers and storms are the first sign of that shift, with light rain possible near the Jackson metro area before dawn Sunday and only a minuscule severe-weather risk.
  • Sunday afternoon should bring only isolated downpours, but more widespread showers are forecast to move in by Monday afternoon.
  • Hit-or-miss rain through next week is expected to keep temperatures from returning to the 100-degree mark, offering modest relief rather than a major cooldown.
