JACKSON, Mississippi (WLBT) – Pleasant conditions will remain overnight as temperatures drop to 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

THURSDAY: Thursday will be another sunny, dry day as our forecast continues to be under high pressure. Temperatures tomorrow afternoon are expected to be a little warmer, reaching just over 35 degrees, which is still almost normal for mid-June.

Saturday will likely be the hottest day of the weekend with highs between 35 and 38 degrees. Some locations could see the first day of the year with triple-digit temperatures.
