Dry, breezy Sunday fuels elevated fire risk in Northeast Florida, Southeast Georgia

Red Flag and Freeze warnings are in effect for our area

Sunday forecast

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The overnight rains will end in the next few hours. We’re likely seeing our high temperatures of the day this morning, although there’s an opportunity to rebound into the upper 60s this afternoon once the clouds clear.

The cold front will settle in throughout the afternoon under partly cloudy to clear skies, allowing the arctic air to sink into our area. This cold, dry air has sparked several alerts.

Alerts from the National Weather Service:

Red Flag Warning Sunday 1 p.m. through 9 p.m. for portions of Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. Wind gusts 25-35 mph, minimum relative humidity values 25-30% are expected.

Red Flag Warning

Freeze Warning begins at midnight through early Monday morning, mostly north I-10. Temperatures are expected to drop into the upper 20s, low 30s.

Freeze Warning Monday

Widespread Freeze & Low Wind Chill values Monday into early Tuesday morning.
