JACKSONVILLE, Fla -- Hurricane Sandy continues to lift away and impacts from the tropical cyclone weaken in our area.  Winds will still be the weather story for tonight and tomorrow as there is still a tight pressure gradient creating sustained winds of 10 to 15 mph tonight and tomorrow.  Risk of rip currents and higher than normal coastal tides will continue through the weekend.  Now that Sandy is moving north it will be able to tap into some very cold air well to our north and drag it pretty far south.  It will act like a cold pump for much of next week, so cold we could be hinting at a little frost depending on the moisture content of our atmosphere Monday night.
 
TONIGHT:  Clearing skies, breezy.  Wind:  NW 10-15 mph.  Low:  58.
SUNDAY:  Mostly sunny with just a few clouds.  Nice, but still breezy.  Wind:  NW 10-15 mph. High:  78.
SUNDAY NIGHT:  Clear and cold.  Wind:  NW 10-15 mph.  Low:  45.
MONDAY:  Bright, but cool.  Wind:  NW/W 15-20 mph.  High:  67.
