Wind chill to the bone, then teeth chattering 20s Wednesday
Remnants of todayโs rain could be tomorrowโs icicles. Drier air is moving in and the temperatures are tumbling. Near record lows with Hard Freeze and Freeze Warnings in effect from 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. Wednesday. Sunny and cold tomorrow. Changes on Friday will keep the cold in place this weekend.
Hard freeze tonight, cold again tomorrow
After the coldest Christmas Day weโve had in 16 years, we are in for a widespread Hard Freeze for most areas, only St Johns County and Coastal Duval counties are not under a Hard Freeze Warning, just a normal Freeze Warning. The difference is mainly how cold the area will be for how long, and areas under a Hard Freeze Warning tonight may need to protect exposed pipes. We expect the areas under a Hard Freeze Warning to see overnight lows between 23-29ยฐ and need to drip or wrap exposed pipes in addition to protecting your pets and plants. ALL areas need to be concerned with heating your home safely, we often see a rash of house fires, mainly due to space heaters, on night like tonight. Saturday night we are in for a lighter freeze with temperatures getting down into the upper 20s and low 30s.
