Mid-November Cold Snap Set to Arrive Soon
As November progresses, South Mississippi is preparing for a significant drop in temperatures. A cold snap is expected to arrive in the area during the early part of next week. This weather event follows the recent appearance of November’s Full Frost Moon, signaling the onset of frost and freezing conditions.
Forecast for the Coming Cold Snap
A strong cold front is projected to reach the Gulf Coast by late Sunday. Following this front, residents can anticipate much colder air settling in by Monday. Overnight lows could descend to near-freezing by Monday night.
Expected Temperature Changes
- Cold front arrival: Late Sunday
- Significant temperature drop: Monday
- Potential low temperatures: Lower to middle 30s
Coastal Mississippi might experience its coldest temperatures from Monday night into Tuesday morning. Areas may see temperatures fall close to or below freezing, which could pose risks to both people and pets, as well as potential damage to sensitive plants.
Understanding Freezing Temperatures in November
In South Mississippi, the first freeze typically occurs around mid-November. Historically, this has varied slightly from town to town and year to year. However, the majority of freezing temperatures in the Gulfport-Biloxi area are recorded between November and January.
Be Prepared for the Cold
With the anticipated cold snap, residents are advised to prepare accordingly. Ensure proper clothing is on hand and be ready to implement protective measures for pets and plants as needed.
