A yucky Thursday - no better way to put it! A low gray overcast, rain, areas of fog & temps. only in the 40s & 50s will make for yet another nasty winter day on the First Coast. This is the same storm system that dumped heavy snow on parts of Ok., Ks., Ar., Tn., Ms. & Al. & will bring snow/sleet & freezing rain to parts of Ga. & the Carolina's.
Expect rainfall coverage locally to be 100% with amounts averaging between a tenth & a third of an inch but up to a half inch to three-quarters of an inch in some places. Fri. will be drier but still breezy & cool with quite a bit of cloudiness & afternoon temps. only in the 50s to around 60. The good news: the weekend will be nice! Cold each morning with a light inland freeze but afternoon highs near 60 Sat. & well into the 60s Sun.
JIA dropped to 32 degrees early Wed. -- the 28th time this winter but only the first time this month & only the 10th time since Jan. 1...there were 18 freezes in Dec. -- the avg. for an entire winter! We had 24 freezes in the cold winter last yr....the all-time record is 37 during the winter of 1976-77.
