Wintry weather expected to move toward Mississippi. What to expect, how to prepare
The National Weather Service is forecasting cold temperatures associated with storm systems bringing high winds, heavy rain, in Mississippi starting the week of Jan. 14.
Chad Entremont, NWS science and operations officer in Jackson, said for over the next seven to 14 days, it will be a “fairly complex” weather pattern.
He said there are not many details on how the storm system will set up for the upcoming week, but there is at least some potential for wintry weather such as ice, sleet and even snow beginning Monday, Jan. 15, and lingering over into the night.
Entremont said that once temperatures reach below freezing, it is likely to stay below freezing until Wednesday, Jan. 17, for much of the state. There is potential for pipes to burst due to the prolonged freeze.

“One thing we are more confident in is getting arctic air coming in and getting very dangerously cold temperatures starting on Monday,” Entremont said. “We’re pretty confident that the whole area is going to probably see lows, at least in the teens with some areas … seeing a single digit.”
Entremont said the forecast is an early prediction, and forecasts are subject to change.
In Jackson, the latest forecast indicated temperatures could drop around 20 degrees Monday and fall near 15 degrees by nighttime. Moving south into Hattiesburg, the forecasts predicted temperatures to be in the lower 20s with some potential to drop down into the teens.
In Biloxi, the forecast shows cloudy skies and some heavy showers in the afternoon. At this time, temperatures not expected to fall below 22 degrees.
Entremont said north of Jackson, there is more potential for colder temperatures and single digit readings.
In Oxford, Monday’s temperature could reach a low of 2 degrees and a high of 22 degrees. In Tupelo, forecasts predict a low of 7 degrees and a high of 28 degrees. In Southaven, there is the potential for temperatures to reach a low of 1 degree.
Residents are urged to stay inside with heat running during extreme cold weather and seek shelter if they do not have housing.
“The main thing is to be prepared and be weather aware,” Entremont said. “Right now is the time to be putting a plan in place. Then, you can enact the plan once you get any kind of severe weather warnings.”
Tips for preparing for the winter and cold weather, provided by the National Weather Service, are listed below.
Winterize Your Home Tips: Some steps provided by NWS to prepare your home for the winter is to inspect your chimney, insulate exposed pipes, caulk and weather strip doors and windows, and gather supplies.
Protecting Vulnerable Populations Tips: NWS considers newborns, older adults, those with chronic illnesses, outdoor workers and unhoused people as vulnerable populations. NWS advises to them to dress in loose layers with all exposed skin covered, consume hot foods and warm drinks — not caffeine and alcohol, and limit or avoid time outdoors.
Don’t Forget Your Pets Tips: NWS advises people to keep your pets warm, dry and indoors whenever possible, provide them with plenty of food and water, and keep them bundled up if outside.

7 top recruits to watch in Saturday’s Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic
Many of the future stars of college football will be competing in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic on Saturday afternoon on the campus of the University of Southern Miss in Hattiesburg.
Alabama Crimson Tide signees are expected to be among the headliners, with six total players (four for Alabama, two for Mississippi) competing in the game. Auburn’s representation was greatly reduced by injuries. The Tigers are left with one player representing Alabama after Saraland receiver DeShawn Spencer, Wadley linebacker Jaquez Wilkes and Petal defensive lineman Corey Wells were late scratches from the game.
Best in Bama Top 50
Players from the game are headed to four of the 12 teams in the College Football Playoffs, including Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Alabama.
The game will kick off at noon on Saturday and will be broadcast across the state on Alabama Public Television.
Here are seven players to be on the lookout for during the matchup.
ALABAMA
CD Morgan, wide receiver, Benjamin Russell (jersey No. 1)
There likely will not be a player on the field who looks more SEC-ready than the 6-foot-4, 220-pound wide receiver. Are the comparisons to former Foley, Alabama and NFL star Julio Jones fair? This will be the biggest stage so far for Morgan to begin justifying the lofty and unfair comparisons.
DJ Broughton, tight end, Mary G. Montgomery, (No. 15)
Broughton was one of the catalysts for a remarkable turnaround for Class 7A Mary G. Montgomery, along with all-star teammate and Mississippi State signee Kaleb Morris (No. 0).
After being a longtime commit to South Florida, Broughton will forever be remembered as the first Auburn commit of the Alex Golesh era.
EJ Crowell, running back, Jackson, (No. 13)
The hype could not be any higher for Crowell, who is the most celebrated back to sign with the Crimson Tide since Derrick Henry. Like Henry, Crowell will have to learn the nuances of the position before becoming a major contributor in college. But the talent when Crowell has the ball in his hands is undeniable.
Brock Bradley, quarterback, Spain Park, (No. 7)
The Alabama squad should be in good shape with two pocket-passer quarterbacks who are athletic enough to make plays on the run. Bradley is a longtime pledge to the Clemson Tigers. He will share the position with his future in-state rival Landon Duckworth (No. 3), who will play for South Carolina after leading Jackson to back-to-back state championships.
Mhari Johnson, defensive lineman, Muscle Shoals, (No. 9)
The 6-foot-4, 275-pound defensive lineman was a catalyst for one of the stiffest defenses in the state at Muscle Shoals. He could be a strong candidate for early playing time with the Crimson Tide.
While Johnson is expected to be one of the top playmakers on the defensive line, look for Central-Phenix City linebacker and Jacksonville State signee Tristan Lyle (No. 19) and Gadsden City defensive back and Alabama signee Zyan Gibson (No. 5) to also be defensive leaders.
MISSISSIPPI
JJ Hill, running back, Tupelo (No. 0)
Hill is the younger brother of Alabama’s Daniel Hill. Both are bruising backs. The younger Hill is 25 pounds lighter than his brother, but he’s still listed at 6-feet, 220 pounds. Hill will share the backfield with Gulfport’s Cooper Crosby (No. 6). Crosby was likely headed for Auburn before the Tigers made a coaching change. He will now play for Mississippi State. Tupelo and Gulfport squared off in a wild state championship game a week ago, with Gulfport scoring on a Hail Mary pass and extra point at the end of the game to win. Now the two backs who starred in that game will be all-star teammates before playing together at Mississippi State.
Bryson Cooley, offensive lineman, West Jones (jersey No. 63)
Securing Cooley late in the recruiting process was a huge win for Alabama. He is one of two future Tide players on the Mississippi roster, joining defensive lineman Nolan Smith (No. 34) of Picayune Memorial.
