1/21 - Tuesday

Winter storm arrives tonight • Tuesday and Wednesday are First Alert Weather Days. • A rare Winter Storm Warning is in effect for all of southeast GA and most of NE Florida (including Coastal Duval and Coastal Nassau counties). • Winter Weather Advisory overnight/early Wednesday for St. Johns and Eastern Putnam county. • Our message continues to be for people in the warning areas to plan to be home by sunset Tuesday and stay there until mid-day Wednesday out of an abundance of caution. • A mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain will likely begin in inland SE GA between 5-7PM Tuesday, increasing in coverage/intensity there through the night. • Precipitation will start as a very cold rain across NE FL Tuesday evening with increasing potential for frozen precipitation to sink south into NE FL after midnight and before sunrise Wednesday. A few sleet pellets may mix-in with the rain after sunset. • Inland bridges and overpasses will be more susceptible to icing first, then other roads and highways that are untreated. • Ice could weigh down trees enough to result in some power outages. • Uncertainty still exists on how close to the coast of NE FL frozen precipitation will get. A brief period of freezing rain/sleet may arrive for Coastal Duval before or near sunrise Wednesday. • Please check and recheck the First Alert Forecast over the next 24 hours. • Precipitation quickly ends Wednesday morning after sunrise, with temperatures rising above freezing by mid-morning at which anything frozen will begin to melt. • Morning freezes appear likely through the remainder of the week. TODAY: Mostly cloudy with a few PM showers, becoming a wintry mix after sunset in SE GA. HIGH: 47 TONIGHT: Cloudy and cold. Winter weather increases.
