WOKV Weather

Jacksonville, Fl — Enjoy one more mild day before a blast of cold air arrives. First Alert Meteorologist Corey Simma says we’ll be 20-30 degrees colder tomorrow.

“Our daytime highs will only be in the 50s. That’s where our morning temperatures have been. New Year’s Eve begins with widespread frost and freezes. I think we’ll see freezing temperatures all the way to the beaches.”, Simma said.

Afternoon highs on Tuesday and Wednesday won’t get out of the 50s but with lots of sunshine.

After a frigid morning, New Year’s Day will be mostly sunny with temperatures climbing to the low 60s.

Friday will be milder with temperatures climbing to the mid 60s. We remain dry overall.

CAPITOL UPDATE: Ryan Schmelz recaps the meeting between Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy and President Trump last weekend at Mar-A-Lago, as discussions regarding a Ukraine/Russia peace plan continue. Trump is expected to meet with Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu today, as peace plan discussions turn to Israel & Gaza.

“The Greatest Show on Earth” returns to Jacksonville’s VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena Jan 16-19. New troupe member Zeke Pranis-Ricci, who performs on the German Wheel and Unicycle, joins JMN to share what you can expect from the latest iteration of the Circus - with clowns, acrobats, aerialists, stunts, and more - and shares his adventures from Circus School! Yes, it’s a thing, tell your kids!

Action Sports Jax’s Brent Martineau joins JMN to recap the Jags road win vs. the Indianapolis Colts. That brings them to a 7-win streak, 12-4 for the season, and playing for the division championship - and possibly AFC #1 seed? - and possibly a home playoff game? - as they wrap their regular season at home next weekend against the Tennessee Titans.
