A frost\/freeze is likely for areas north and west of the metro. <\/p>\n<p>Frost and freeze alerts are in effect for our area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">High pressure will remain in control on Sunday. We will see plenty of sunshine with temperatures in the 60s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Looking ahead to next week, warmer temperatures are expected with a southerly wind. Highs each day will be in the 70s with overnight lows, for the most part in the 40s and 50s. A big change from last weekend! <\/p>\n<p>The latest drought monitor for our area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The latest drought monitor reflects the overall pattern over the past few months. The area of \u201cextreme\u201d drought continues to expand in coverage each week and now covers a larger portion of our area. Most of our area remains under a \u201csevere\u201d drought. <\/p>\n<p>Rainfall forecast for the next seven days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The rainfall forecast over the extended period does not look promising. The area of high pressure will keep our region dry for most if not all of the upcoming week. That means the deficits will continue to increase when considering the deficits from last year. Several spots are around if not above 15\u201d in deficit. <\/p>\n<p>Wildfire prevention tips from NWS Jacksonville.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Remember to continue to exercise extreme caution as the wildfire risk remains elevated due to the breeze and dry conditions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">TONIGHT: Clear &amp; Cold.
