JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Talk about a grey end to our weekend!

Starting this evening storms will develop ahead of the cold front and move across our area. These storms will have the potential to be on the stronger side and the Storm Prediction Center has placed those along the I-75 corridor in SE GA under a slight risk and the I-95 corridor in SE GA and NE FL under a marginal risk. This means the storms will be capable of producing damaging winds, frequent lightning, even an isolated tornado.

The approaching cold front will start to sink south overnight Sunday into Monday.

“There are some concerns about an isolated severe thunderstorm tonight,” chief meteorologist John Gaughan said. “At this time, it appears this will be mainly in the Panhandle this evening. As the downpours reach Jacksonville they will be breaking up.”

Monday we are waking up to a line of showers and possibly strong thunderstorms pushing through our area ahead of a cold front. We will dry out and clear out behind the cold front during the afternoon. The warmest temperatures of the day will be in the morning, with colder air making for dropping temperatures during the afternoon hours. Temperatures will drop quickly and dramatically Monday night as the cold front pushes through.

Tuesday will be COLD. We’ll wake up in the mid- to upper-30s with wind chill temperatures in the 20s. Expect a sunny, breezy and cold day only topping out in the low 50s.

Tuesday night, we’ll see our first potential inland light freeze of the season.
