16 WAPT meteorologist Nick Lacour has provided the full Saturday evening forecast, detailing the pleasant weather trend that will continue through the weekend and into the start of next week for Jackson, Mississippi. The forecast calls for clear skies, mild temperatures, and only a slight chance of showers as the region transitions into April.

Why it matters

The sunny and warm weather over the next several days will provide a nice finish to the weekend for Jackson residents, offering an opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities before the potential return of more unsettled conditions later in the week.

The details

According to Lacour's forecast, temperatures will steadily drop overnight, leading to a clear and chilly Saturday night with a low of 48 degrees. Sunday, or Palm Sunday, will be warmer than Saturday with a high of 78 degrees and a few clouds in the afternoon. Monday and Tuesday will both be partly cloudy and warm, with highs in the low 80s. While a stray shower or two is possible on Tuesday, the greater chance for rain and thunderstorms is expected to return around midweek as April arrives, potentially continuing into the Easter weekend.

• Tonight will be clear and a tad chilly with a low of 48.
• Tomorrow (Palm Sunday) will have a high of 78 degrees.
• Monday will have a high of 83 degrees and be partly cloudy.
• Tuesday will have a high of 83 degrees with a mix of clouds and sunshine.
• Wednesday's high is expected to reach 84 degrees.

What’s next

It is possible that spotty shower and thunderstorm coverage could persist into the Easter weekend, but that is not set in stone at this time. Highs on Good Friday and the following Saturday should be in the low 80s, with a potential cool down by Easter Sunday.
