INFORMATION PROVIDED BY weather-atlas.com

Winter in Mississippi presents mild to cold conditions, with short-lived cold spells and occasional freezing in the north. The Siberian Express may bring bitter cold at times. Average low temperatures in January, the peak of winter, drop to 27°F (-2.8°C) in the north, and temperatures below freezing register for less than ten days along the coast. Snowfall and sleet are measurable, with the northern region receiving the highest amounts. Despite the cooler temperatures, the winter season remains relatively mild, particularly when compared to more northern states. January is the coldest month.

February continues the winter season in Mississippi but brings a subtle shift towards milder conditions. The average low temperature in the northern region during January's peak cold slowly begins to rise. However, the state can still experience a blend of cold continental and warmer tropical air, influenced by polar and subtropical jet streams.
