JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Notes from the First Alert Weather team:

  • Sunday morning, rain is moving in across our entire viewing area. It is mostly light/briefly moderate.
  • Temperatures have already reached their highs on Sunday. We will cool from here. Starting off before sunrise in the 50s, we will be in the low-middle 40s by the afternoon.
  • Rain will taper off from west to east by the early to mid-afternoon. While still a nonzero chance for a few snowflakes mixed in with rain in far inland SE GA, the odds of this have lowered compared to Saturday, and no impacts from wintry weather are expected. 
  • A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for central and southwest Georgia, not far outside of our area.
  • We will have several hours of drying with gusty winds on Sunday afternoon and evening, preventing the development of black ice at night.
  • A Freeze Warning is in effect areawide at night for temperatures inland in the 20s and low 30s along the coast.
  • It will be a cold start to MLK Jr. Day with feels like temperatures in the mid-20s area-wide. Plenty of sunshine all day will warm temperatures into the low and middle 50s by the afternoon.
  • Another light freeze/frost is expected Tuesday morning with rebounding temperatures into the 60s by Wednesday.
