Freeze Warnings are in effect late tonight and early Tuesday morning for all of southeast GA and for locations west of the St. Johns River basin in northeast and inland north central FL. A light freeze is currently forecast for areas within the Freeze Warning, with low temperatures falling to the upper 20s and lower 30s. Appropriate action should be taken to ensure that tender vegetation and outdoor pets have adequate protection from these cold temperatures. Young children, the elderly, and the homeless are especially vulnerable to these cold temperatures.
Strong northwesterly winds will combine with plummeting temperatures overnight to create dangerously cold wind chills, with values falling to the 20-25 degree range towards sunrise on Tuesday. Appropriate clothing should be worn to protect your skin from this combination of cold temperatures and gusty winds, including coats, hats, and gloves. Hypothermia or frostbite are possible if precautions are not taken.
Strong northwesterly winds will usher in an exceptionally dry air mass to our area today, with these gusty winds combining with very low humidity values and drought conditions to create dangerous fire weather conditions. A Red Flag Warning will go into effect beginning at 10 AM this morning for the Suwannee Valley and portions of northeast and inland north central FL. These dangerous fire weather conditions will continue through around 7 PM this evening. Fires that develop today may spread quickly given these dangerous conditions in place. Long durations of critically low humidity values will continue on Tuesday and Wednesday, and outdoor burning is not recommended through at least midweek.
