A sharp temperature drop is expected in Columbus, Miss., this week after daytime highs reach the mid-70s, WCBI reported Nov. 10, 2026.
WCBI said Tuesday will be seasonably warm with a high near 76°F and calm winds increasing to about 5 mph from the west-northwest. Patchy fog may linger early and should dissipate by mid-morning, with mostly sunny skies for the rest of the day.
The station reported Tuesday night will be mostly clear with temperatures falling to about 43°F and light winds remaining calm.
WCBI forecast Wednesday will stay above normal with a high around 77°F and partly sunny skies. The station said isolated showers are possible Wednesday due to Gulf moisture and an approaching cold front; any rain is expected to be very isolated with amounts generally around a tenth to a third of an inch. Winds were forecast to be light and variable, increasing to 5–10 mph out of the west-southwest in the afternoon.
According to WCBI, the cold front passage will mark the crest of the “temperature rollercoaster,” with highs and lows falling more than 15°F from Wednesday into Friday. The station said weekend highs are expected in the high 50s, and low temperatures will be around the 30°F mark by the end of the week. Plenty of sunshine is expected after the front, though temperatures will remain much colder.
