Freezing temperatures and a chance of snow showers

It's going to feel chilly all day as clouds break and cold air takes over.

The big chill is coming through our area beginning Thursday night as the coldest temperatures we’ve seen this winter settle in for a while.

Jacksonville will stay chilly with lows in the 20s, rain expected mid-week, and shifting temperatures. News4JAX meteorologist Katie Garner shares what to expect with The Weather Authority Exact Track 4D.

From Southeast Georgia to Northeast Florida, record highs were tied on Friday. Expect another day of springlike weather to grace our area before the next wave of cold air sinks in on Sunday.

Temperature-wise, it felt mild to start—most spots sat in the upper 50s and 60s, and it’s expected we’ll top out in the 80s today and tomorrow. That’s well above our average high of 65.

After the fog burns off, we’re headed for a big warm-up across the region. Highs are expected to reach up to 80 degrees by the end of the week, which is well above our average of 66 degrees.

Warming temperatures today back up close to 70 degrees, but the clouds have really kept some of that warmth at bay today. Overnight temperatures will drop into the 50s.

After a frosty start of 29 degrees, temperatures have warmed up nicely throughout the afternoon under super clear blue skies. Cold temperatures return overnight, but staying out of the freezing range in the mid-to-upper 30s.

Significant cold is expected to hit Jacksonville and the surrounding area for New Year's with gusty winds, patchy rain, and dense fog this morning, according to News4JAX meteorologist Katie Garner.
