Jacksonville, Fl — It’s a quiet and cool morning in Northeast Florida, and it’ll be a very nice day with sunshine and mild temperatures.

First Alert Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh says Saturday’s very different - it turns windy and cloudy with temps only in the 50s during the day. Onshore winds will rough up the beaches with high seas & rip currents.

Sunday features another wind shift out of the southwest, we’ll warm up to near 80 degrees with sunshine.

Be mindful of travel north and west of our area Sunday and Monday as a powerful storm system brings snow, sleet, freezing rain and/or ice from the Southern Plains all the way to New England.

A cold front attached to that storm system moves through early Monday with some rain. There will be ZERO wintry precipitation in our area.

Then it gets cold with Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings all with a frost and freeze potential.

Despite the rain chance late Sunday/early Monday, rain still looks pretty scarce, as we are more than 3 inches below our average rainfall.
