Happy New Year’s Eve Eve! We’re almost out of the “which day is it?” timeframe! High pressure will keep us dry for the celebrations, but before we even get to the new year, we have one last chilly morning of 2025. As you can see from the image below from the Jackson NWS, there’s a very high chance that we will see our low tonight and into tomorrow morning below 28 degrees!

For Thursday, January 1st, we’ll trend slightly warmer, with highs in the mid to upper 60s. Overnight lows dip into the mid 40s, with some spots farther southwest staying closer to around 50. High pressure stays in control, so we’ll remain dry, but clouds will gradually increase through the day. Overall, it stays quiet with light winds as we ring in the new year.

Heading into Jan 2 and beyond, we stay on the mild side with highs pushing into the lower 70s on Friday as clouds increase ahead of the next front. That boundary slides through Friday night into Saturday morning and could bring a few showers and a couple rumbles of thunder before things dry back out later Saturday. After that, the weekend and early next week look warm and mostly quiet overall, and the 6-10 day outlook continues to lean warmer than average, which supports temperatures climbing back into the 70s again during that stretch. Happy New Year!
