FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Chilly day ahead, winter storm expected to arrive Tuesday night

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Starting off the day with some clouds in NE Florida and temperatures in the 30s.

  • Many inland neighborhoods will dive down to freezing this morning through sunrise.
  • MLK Day is turning partly sunny and cold with a bit of a breeze.
  • We’ll be back near or just below freezing inland on Tuesday morning, clouds increase through the day.
  • Rain begins Tuesday evening, then will turn to sleet/freezing rain along and west of Hwy 301 overnight.
  • Tuesday night and Wednesday morning are a FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY.
  • Precip appears to be mostly snow farther north in SE GA.
  • Sleet/Freezing rain accumulations will generally be a quarter to a half inch, snow accumulation less 3”
  • Travel could still be treacherous due to ice accumulation near the FL/GA border and into SE Georgia.
  • Some isolated power and tree issues may arise if the ice accumulations go above 0.25″ north and west of Jacksonville.
  • It’s possible that a few snow flurries form in Western Duval County if temps are colder than expected, but Jax should mainly see just rain and mix.
  • It’s a cold rain for most of NE FL south of I-10 with the exception of some wintry mix inland.
  • Please check & recheck the First Alert Forecast over the next 24-36 hours.
  • Precipitation moves out fairly quickly Wednesday with temps well above freezing during the day (should help melt anything frozen).
  • A few showers move in on Thursday.
  • It gets really cold again with widespread frost and freezes the second half of the week into the weekend.
