A strong cold front is due into the region Sunday. Breezy and colder conditions expected to start the next workweek. Forecast lows are around 33-34 degree range across southwestern Mississippi and there is at least a low chance of hitting the freezing mark.
The coldest temperatures will occur late Monday night into Tuesday morning. 3-8 hours of freezing temperatures are forecast for areas along/north of the Interstate 10/12 corridor and 1-3 hours of freezing temperatures are forecast for some localized portions of the bayou and river parishes.
Regardless of whether air temperatures reach freezing, wind chills of near or below freezing are forecast across much of the forecast area both late Sunday night into Monday morning and late Monday night into Tuesday morning. Be sure to check on the elderly and other vulnerable people, bring pets inside if possible, and wear warm layers if you will be outside.
With this being the first significant threat of near- or subfreezing temperatures, a lot of folks might be planning to pull out their space heaters. PLEASE be sure to operate them safely!
Never use outdoor heaters inside! It could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
