Published 10:47 pm Sunday, March 17, 2024
We’re finally done with the rain from the weekend, but the return to sunny weather also brings a big chance in temperature.
Stretching from the Tennessee line to the Pine Belt, there is a freeze warning for most of the state except for some of the communities along the Mississippi River and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. A freeze watch covers the counties along the river.
We’ll be windy across the state, so it’s going to feel cool to cold Monday and Monday night. We’ll have another crisp day Tuesday with a return to the 60s and 70s by Wednesday before our next round of rain chances.
