COLUMBUS, Mississippi (WCBI) – After a cool and wet weekend, our weather will improve early into next week. Thanks to the high pressure building over the Southeast, temperatures will rise each day and rain will be minimal.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear skies, calming winds and a cooler air mass will work together to give us a chilly night. Temperatures will drop to around 40°C and in some places even into the 30°C. As such, a frost advisory is in effect for our northernmost communities. Wear a jacket when you go out in the morning!

MONDAY: Sunny and pleasant. After a cold start, temperatures will warm up nicely into the mid 60s.

MONDAY NIGHT: Another cold night with temperatures around 40 degrees.

THE REST OF THE WEEK: Temperatures will rise every day this week. Highs will return to the 70s on Tuesday and we will reach the 80s again on Friday. Along with rising temperatures, humidity will also return. By the end of the week, dew points will be in the 60s, which will bring a stuffy feeling to our air. The chances of rain are minimal this week. The first chance of showers is on Thursday and it will remain low.
