Our message is for people to plan to be home by sunset Tuesday and stay there until mid-day Wednesday out of an abundance of caution.
A mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain will likely begin in inland southeast Georgia between 5 and 7 p.m. Tuesday, increasing in coverage/intensity there through the night.
Precipitation will start as a very cold rain across northeast Florida Tuesday evening with increasing potential for frozen precipitation to sink south into northeast Florida after midnight and before sunrise Wednesday.
Bridges and overpasses will be more susceptible to icing first, then other roads and highways that are untreated.
Ice could weigh down trees enough to result in some power outages.
Uncertainty still exists on how close to the coast of northeast Florida frozen precipitation will get. For now, we continue to go with mostly cold rain for the beaches of northeast Florida, but there’s a nonzero chance some ice gets mixed in.
