1/20 - Monday (MLK Day)

Chilly day ahead, winter storm expected to arrive Tuesday night • 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 & 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 & west of Hwy 301 overnight • Tuesday night & 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 & 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 & freezes the second half of the week into the weekend MLK DAY: Partly to Sunny, Chilly.
