Here’s what Action News Jax First Alert Weather Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh said we can expect:
- Another widespread rainfall day on Tuesday. Average rainfall was a half-inch to an inch-and-a-half with monthly totals near 4″, nearly double the average January rainfall.
- Highways will dry out before temperatures hit freezing. We will then see the coldest temperatures of the winter so far.
- Hard freeze warning for early Wednesday north and west of Jacksonville. A freeze warning will be in effect for Duval and the Interstate 95 corridor south of Jacksonville.

- Remember to protect people, pipes, pets, and plants, though we have certainly been colder as recently as 13 months ago.
- Sunshine on Wednesday will help with any pipe problems, even though temperatures will stay 15 degrees below average.
