SUMMARY: An Alberta Clipper system is moving across the Midwest, causing significant snow and bringing colder temperatures to South Mississippi this weekend. Currently near the Great Lakes, it’s expected to push cold, dry air as it travels south, with lows potentially reaching freezing and frost occurring inland. Friday temperatures will be in the low to mid-60s before rapidly dropping overnight. Saturday morning could see temperatures in the 30s, with highs only reaching the low to mid-50s. As the holiday approaches, warmer temperatures in the 60s are anticipated, with a chance of rain by mid-next week, leading to low 70s by Christmas Day.

Meteorologist Aaron Colby brings the latest on a cold weather and what it has to do with the Alberta Clipper.
