Sunshine returns to the Magnolia State Tuesday, even with a cloudy start in central and southern Mississippi.

We’ll be cooler with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s. Northern Mississippi will flirt with freezing temperatures, but it looks like we should stay just right at or above 32.

Sunshine will hang around for a couple days, then our rainy weekend pattern returns. Models aren’t showing the entire weekend to be wet, but we could see some heavy rain Friday night into Saturday.
