Cold Front Coming Through Tonight

Weather Update – 11:00 p.m. – Monday, August 31st

So far this month, we’ve had just about 1″ of rain fall in Jackson. Summer has been drier-than-average for some areas, but we’re still ahead of “average” in Jackson for our year-to-date rainfall through September 2nd. What’s wild is that we’ve had more days WITH rain than every year over the last 7 decades except 2004. 51% of the year has had rain so far. Average is 41%.

TONIGHT
With only a slight chance for rain scattered showers will finally taper off Friday morning with overnight lows around 70°F. The humidity will keep many of us from seeing the 60s.

Skies will start cloudy Friday morning but should get clearer throughout the day as a cold front sweeps across the region. Temperatures will only peak in the lower 80s with clearer skies on Friday featuring lower humidity and light north winds by the evening’s high school football games. Temperatures will be starting in the 50s on Saturday and Sunday mornings!
