Christmas-like weather showed up unannounced this week, and it’s making an exit before the week concludes.
Cold records were broken across the state, including in Jacksonville, where temperatures plunged to 28 degrees Monday night into Tuesday morning, breaking the previous 1977 record of 35 degrees. The icy blast, driven by polar winds from the far north, proved intense but short-lived.
Following this morning’s freeze warning — which remained in effect across most of North Florida until 8 a.m., along with a frost advisory extending into Central Florida — temperatures are now expected to climb to a high of 68 degrees on Wednesday, Nov. 12. However, it’s not quite time to put away those plant covers just yet. Overnight lows in the Jacksonville area are expected to fall into the 40s, according to AccuWeather.
By Friday, we’ll be back to daytime temps in the high 70s and in the 80s over the weekend. Here’s what to expect in Jacksonville and the rest of Florida this week.
Jacksonville, Northeast Florida, saw record-breaking cold
A frost advisory is in effect until 8 a.m. ET for parts of coastal Northeast Florida.
What can Jacksonville expect tonight? Inland locations are expected to fall to the upper 30s and lower 40s, ranging to the mid and upper 40s for coastal northeast Florida. A few patches of frost may develop at normally colder inland locales, according to National Weather Service Jacksonville.
There is an elevated fire danger inland today due to critically low humidity values, breezy west winds and ongoing drought conditions.
Elevated fire danger in Southeast Georgia, Northeast and North Central Florida
As of 2 a.m. on Nov. 12, inland areas of southeast Georgia as well as northeast and north-central Florida, are under an elevated fire danger warning. A very dry air mass will persist across the region today, with inland humidity levels expected to drop to between 15 and 25 percent this afternoon. These extremely low humidity levels, combined with ongoing drought conditions and breezy westerly winds in inland parts of southeast Georgia, will contribute to an elevated fire risk throughout the day.
Elevated Fire Danger
