JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the First Alert Weather forecast:

  • The bitterly cold air is moving away, but still chilly tonight with lows in the 30s to low 40s & just cold enough for some patchy light frost west of I-95 & south of I-10, where skies will stay mostly clear.
  • Warmer Wednesday with afternoon highs near 70 degrees.  Clouds will increase ahead of a cold front, which will produce some rain showers in the afternoon from Waycross to Lake City.
  • The showers will spread across the rest of SE Georgia & NE Florida Wed. night, but rainfall amounts will not be great – generally less than a quarter of an inch.  So, not much help with the very dry conditions & wildfire threat.
  • Colder air will follow for Thursday with blustery north winds & highs that will back into the 50s, setting us up for another frost & freeze Thursday night & early Friday with lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s.
  • But this time the colder air will not last long & certainly will not be as severe as the last cold front. So highs will get back into the low 60s Friday & well into the 60s over the weekend.
