SUMMARY: Warm temperatures and increasing rain chances characterize the start of the work week in Columbus, Mississippi. The first day of fall is marked by highs in the low 90s, with overnight lows dropping to the low 70s. A mix of sun and clouds will prevail, though isolated showers may occur in the afternoon. Looking ahead, temperatures will gradually decrease to the mid to lower 80s by week’s end, while rain chances rise due to a stalled frontal boundary in the Delta region. Another tropical system is forecasted, but its projected landfall is east of Mississippi and Alabama.
