A First Alert Weather Day has been declared for Tuesday and into Wednesday morning as a rare Winter Storm Warning has been issued beginning Tuesday afternoon across much of our area.

As a rare winter storm moves closer to Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, school and county officials are preparing for ice that could make it dangerous to drive on the road.

Shelves are emptying in Georgia grocery stories as residents prepare for the upcoming winter storm. We spoke with the Freelove family today in southeast Georgia. They are well aware of the winter storm forecasted to hit Southeast Georgia on Tuesday and Wednesday.
