JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tuesday and Wednesday are First Alert Weather Days.
- A rare Winter Storm Warning is in effect for all of Southeast Georgia and most of Northeast 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 Northeast Florida 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 Northeast Florida 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.
