HERE COMES THE COLD

Tuesday was our last warm day for the foreseeable future! A much colder air mass is working its way towards northeast Mississippi and west Alabama. It’s time to bring the coats out once again.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Skies will remain clear overnight on Tuesday. Winds will be out of the northwest between 5 and 10 MPH. This will help usher colder air into the area. Overnight lows Tuesday night will drop down into the middle and upper 30’s.

WEDNESDAY: The sun will shine Wednesday, but it will be a bit misleading. Winds will persist out of the northwest on Wednesday around 10 to 15 MPH, with gust over 20 MPH at times. Highs on Wednesday will top out in the lower 50’s and upper 40’s, but it is going to feel colder than that thanks to the winds! Wind chills on Wednesday will be in the lower 40’s and upper 30’s. Overnight lows on Wednesday will plummet into the middle and upper 20’s! Winds will continue to blow out of the northwest Wednesday night, making it feel like the lower 20’s, and even upper 10’s in a few spots!
