People in northern Mississippi and even into parts of central Mississippi are about to get a fantastic break from the miserable heat and humidity.

Monday will be oppressive and even dangerous for a lot of us with highs near 100 and heat index values up to 115 degrees, but Tuesday brings some big change for some of the state.

In the northern region, Tuesday will bring northerly winds up to 15 miles per hour and a high of only 80 under sunny skies! We may have a few places dip into the 50s for lows Tuesday and Wednesday nights, too!

Central and south Mississippi will also be a few degrees cooler, but not nearly as drastic of a swing in temperatures. Humidity levels will also be a few points lower. Unfortunately, the Gulf Coast will have to wait for some relief.
