People in northern Alabama and even into parts of central Alabama 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 don’t believe lows will dip into the 50s any longer, but the high Wednesday will be in the upper 70s! What a change!

Central and south Alabama 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.
