Jackson has received 2.08″ of rainfall so far falling just slightly out of the 1-2″ forecast for the Hub City, and another few hundredths of an inch may fall before rain finally ends tonight. Cold weather is coming next with the first freeze of Fall possible next week!

Rain showers have finally tapered off and not another drop of rain is forecast for the next seven days! Skies will be mostly cloudy tonight, gradually revealing some breaks early Friday morning.

Skies will gradually get clearer throughout the day tomorrow but it will stay cold! We’ll only warm up to the middle 50s making it feel like early December. High school football games will start with clear skies, light winds, and temperatures around 50°F at kickoff Friday night. Clouds return on Halloween so we may have some trouble seeing the full moon but we’ll be back to sunny skies on Sunday with a freeze on Monday morning.
