Strong gusty winds could cause some problems this morning across Mississippi.  The National Weather Service says, in the wake of a cold front, sustained north winds of 15-20 miles per hour are expected with gusts up to 35 mph.   That could be strong enough to knock down some tree limbs and powerlines.   The winds are forecast to subside by this afternoon.

The cold front is bringing a significant change in our weather with lows the next two nights expected to be in the mid 20s.

A man from Memphis, TN contacted the Kosciusko Police Department early Christmas morning after waking up in the parking lot of Glendale Apartments with no recollection of how he arrived there.

According to scanner traffic, the man said he went to sleep—apparently in Memphis—and later “woke up in Kosciusko, of all places.” He reported having no phone and no vehicle, leaving him stranded in Kosciusko.

Officers responded and spoke with the man, who was coherent and able to provide his personal information. There did not appear to be any medical issue or evidence of criminal activity.

With no apparent crime committed, officers had limited options for assistance. No further updates have been released regarding the man’s situation.

Our BreezyNews.com Skycam, powered by the Bank of Commerce, has captured what appears to be an incredible holiday miracle tonight!

Just minutes ago, the tower camera overlooking Kosciusko caught a fleeting but unmistakable glimpse of a sleigh pulled by reindeer streaking across the night sky. The glowing silhouette – complete with what reindeer and a jolly figure at the reins – was briefly visible against the starry backdrop.

Our Skycam is primarily used for weather watching and storm tracking, but tonight it may have recorded something far more magical.

Children (and adults!) across the area are encouraged to head to bed early tonight – because if this footage is any indication, Santa is already making his rounds and could be heading to a rooftop near you very soon.

Check out the exclusive Skycam image below. Do YOU see him?
