A Quarter to half inch of freezing rain/sleet is possible from Lake City to Waycross to just west of I-95 in GA.

Brunswick to Folkston to northern Columbia county will see freezing rain turning to light snow in the afternoon with ice accumulations.

Rain/snow mix expected early this morning for western Duval county.

This may turn to light snow or flurries by midday but no significant accumulations are expected for western Duval.

Any moisture left on the ground by this evening will freeze overnight leading to icy conditions by Thursday.
