Mississippi weather: When will extreme cold warning and cold weather advisory lift?

Parts of Mississippi are still getting the last of a few flurries from a snow storm that’s hit the central U.S. and will continue moving toward the eastern seaboard this week.

The weather system brought an Arctic air blast from the polar vortex that will stay for a few days, and much of Mississippi will be under a cold weather advisory Wednesday and into Thursday. Forecasters at weather.com said more than 100 record lows could be set, including along the Gulf Coast.

National Weather Service data said some snow was still falling around Memphis and Greenwood as the system rolled out of the state Wednesday morning.

Some areas of the Magnolia State will be under extreme cold warnings. Wind chills as low as 10 degrees below zero could affect parts of North Mississippi, East Arkansas and West Tennessee.

Wind chills could drop temps to the teens or single digits in other parts of the state, leading the National Weather Service to issue cold weather advisories.

Here’s what we know so far.

What’s an extreme cold warning?

According the NWS, an extreme cold warning is issued “when dangerously cold air temperatures or wind chill values are expected or occurring.”

If you’re in an area under a warning, they advise you to avoid going outside. Dress in layers and make sure at least one other person knows where you are before you leave for a new location and let them know when you get there.

Will I be under an extreme cold warning?

According to the NWS, the following cold weather advisories are in effect or planned as of 7:30 a.m. Wednesday:

Oxford: 9 p.m. Wednesday through 10 a.m. Thursday.
Southaven: 9 p.m. Wednesday through 10 a.m. Thursday.

What’s a cold weather advisory?

The NWS defines a cold weather advisory as notice of when “seasonably cold air temperatures or wind chill values, but not extremely cold values, are expected or occurring.”

When will cold weather advisories lift?

According to the NWS, the following cold weather advisories are in effect or planned as of 7:30 a.m. Wednesday:

Oxford: now until 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Southaven: now until 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Greenwood: 4:21 a.m. Wednesday through noon Thursday.
Jackson: 6 p.m. Wednesday through noon Thursday.

Why does it keep getting so cold?

According to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, which manages the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research, polar air comes south sometimes where the polar jet stream wanders.

As they describe it, the polar vortex circles the north pole counterclockwise. the polar jet stream circles at a lower level of the atmosphere, which usually keeps Arctic air corralled in the middle.

When the polar vortex is weak, the jet stream pattern wanders around a bit instead of staying in place “like a toupee that goes askew.”

The scientists that make up UCAR say predicting the pattern is getting harder because the Arctic is warming at a rapid rate.

Two more Mississippi State players announce decision to enter portal

The exodus of Mississippi State players continued Sunday afternoon with two more players announcing decisions to enter the transfer portal.

Running back Seth Davis and offensive lineman Luke Work have decided to enter the transfer portal. Both made their announcements in social media posts.

“I’m beyond thankful for my time at Mississippi State. These past two years gave me memories, friendships and lessons that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life,” Work stated. “God gets all the glory. None of this would be possible without Him guiding my path. Thank you to every coach, teammate, staff member and all the amazing people I’ve met along the way. This place truly became family to me. No matter where the road takes me next, I’ll always be proud to say I wore maroon and white.”

Thank you, Mississippi State pic.twitter.com/u55t9dHTYR

Work played in 23 games in his two seasons in Starkville. He was thrust into the starting lineup last season as a true freshman, starting seven games including five at left tackle. This past season Work worked mostly at tackle and guard and played in every game except the first against Southern Miss because of an injury.

Davis began his collegiate career with a solid 2023 season, playing in all 12 games and running 59 times for 356 yards and one touchdown. However, his career was put on hold in that season’s Egg Bowl when he suffered a knee injury that forced him to miss all of the 2024 season.

The Katy, Texas native was able to return to action this season and played in two games. Against Alcorn State, Davis had five carries for 47 yards and one touchdown. He enters the portal with three years of eligibility remaining.

I have decided to enter the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility.#Godsplan🙏🏾
