JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Kids heading back to school on Monday will be rudely welcomed back by a day of rain and wind, then dropping temperatures, and by afternoon, Arctic cold -- perhaps the coldest weather in more than a decade.
The morning bus stop will be mild, maybe a little wild, and there will be brief, heavy showers. The showers will be associated with gusty winds to 40 mph, and quickly followed by plunging temperatures.
