For some, Wednesday will be a Winter Wonderland while other areas will have the worst of the winter woes with icy roads.
I can not remember a single time I have typed, much less mentioned a Winter Storm Warning in our area in the 20-plus years I have worked in Jacksonville.
A Freeze Warning will be in effect starting at 8 p.m. tonight, through 9 a.m. Tuesday. A Freeze Watch will become a Warning Tuesday and then we get ready for possible, snow, sleet and freezing rain Tuesday night through Wednesday morning.
Models are steady with the areas of concern for freezing rain near and along I-10 to the state line with better chances of accumulating snow across southeast Georgia, especially north of Highway 82.
A Freeze Warning is expected west of I-95 on Tuesday morning. Freezing temperatures will linger through around 9 a.m. A Freeze Warning and the Winter Storm Warning will be in effect Tuesday evening.
The wintery mix could start as early as 7 p.m. near Waycross as the cold front pushes south overnight.
Tuesday: Freeze Warning through 9 a.m. A Winter Storm Warning will start at 7 p.m. with it then becoming cloudy with showers turning a winter mix after sunset in SE GA. Morning lows are in the 20s and 30s for SE GA, and 30s to low 40s for NE FL. Afternoon highs are well below our seasonal averages, in the 40s to low 50s. Possible snow, sleet and freezing rain overnight, 50-70%. Wind: N 10-20 mph.
Wednesday: Possible snow, sleet and freezing rain through around 10 a.m. Winter Storm Warning through 1 p.m. Wake up temperatures in the 20s for SE GA, 20s and 30s for NE FL. Afternoon highs in the 40s. NNE 15-20 mph.
Windchill: A cold wind will blow from the north bringing “feels like” temperatures in the teens to low 20s.
Overnight freezing temperatures will continue through Saturday.
Sunrise: 7:22 a.m.
Sunset: 5:53 p.m.
