It’s painfully cold in Mississippi and it’s going to get worse.

Residents should brace for subfreezing temperatures and the potential for some nasty driving conditions in the next few days. Low temperatures could hit single digits in parts of the state with a possible wind chill of 0 degrees in north Mississippi by Friday.

National Weather Service meteorologist Ariel Cohen said there’s a 90 percent chance of snow in north Mississippi as early as Wednesday night. Watch out for possible snow, sleet and freezing rain in central Mississippi late Wednesday and into Thursday and showers in the south with a smaller chance of snow, he said.

Forecasters aren’t sure how much snow could fall. Cohen said it could be as much as 1-2 inches in north Mississippi.
