JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Action News Jax First Alert Weather Team is forecasting a warming trend over the next few days, so the City of Jacksonville is deactivating its Warming Center Contingency Plan.
To be activated, temperatures must meet a threshold of 27 degrees or colder.
That means the Legends Center will not be open overnight Saturday.
