Frost Advisory issued January 29 at 11:02AM EST until January 30 at 8:00AM EST by NWS Jacksonville FL

Effective: Thu January 29, 2026, 11:02 AM
Expires: Fri January 30, 2026, 8:00 AM

* WHAT...For the Frost Advisory, temperatures as low as 32 will result in frost formation. For the Extreme Cold Watch, dangerously cold wind chills as low as 7 above possible. For the Freeze Watch, sub-freezing temperatures as low as 19 possible, with a hard freeze expected. * WHERE...Portions of northeast and northern Florida and southeast Georgia. * WHEN...For the Frost Advisory, from 1 AM to 8 AM EST Friday. For the Extreme Cold Watch and Freeze Watch, from Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon. * IMPACTS...The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 5 above zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes. Frostbite and hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin is exposed to these temperatures. An extended period of freezing temperatures could cause ruptured water pipes. Appropriate action should be taken to ensure tender vegetation and outdoor pets have adequate protection from the cold temperatures. Young children, the elderly and the homeless are especially vulnerable to the cold. Take measures to protect them. Frost could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation. Sensitive outdoor plants may be killed if left uncovered.

Dress in layers including a hat, face mask, and gloves if you must go outside. To prevent water pipes from freezing; wrap or drain or allow them to drip slowly. Keep pets indoors as much as possible. Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills inside. Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
