A Freeze warning will go into effect at 1AM for all of SE GA and for inland NE FL locations north and west of the Santa Fe river including I-10 areas west of Jacksonville and the Suwannee Valley.

High pressure at the surface with an upper level ridge will keep conditions dry Sunday. Skies will be mostly clear in the morning with cloud cover slowly increasing throughout the day as moisture builds in over the area. Daytime high temperatures will be in the mid to upper 60s over southeast Georgia with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s over northeast Florida.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday through next Saturday)
Issued at 238 PM EST Sat Dec 7 2024
Moisture continues to fill in over the area into Wednesday as surface high pressure moves further east out into the Atlantic.
A cold front moves in from the northwest to the southeast early to mid week bringing scattered to numerous showers to the area as it approaches. Isolated thunderstorms may be possible Wednesday as more instability is present in the upper levels as the cold front moves through. Showers linger behind the passing front, clearing out as cool, dry high pressure fills in for the rest of the week. Temperatures Tuesday into Wednesday afternoon will be above normal ahead of the front cooling to below normal for the rest of the week.
AVIATION
