Hard Freeze Warning, Lake Wind Advisory
Statement as of 3:03 am EST on February 11, 2012

... Lake Wind Advisory in effect from 11 am this morning to 7 PM
EST this evening...
... Hard freeze warning in effect from midnight tonight to 9 am
EST Sunday...

The National Weather Service in Jacksonville has issued a hard
freeze warning... which is in effect from midnight tonight to 9 am
EST Sunday. A lake Wind Advisory has also been issued. This lake
Wind Advisory is in effect from 11 am this morning to 7 PM EST
this evening. The hard freeze watch is no longer in effect.

* Timing... winds will increase this morning and become gusty.
Elevated wind speeds are expected to continue into the early
evening. Temperatures will fall tonight... with a prolonged
period of below freezing temperatures expected.

* Winds... northwest winds will increase and become gusty this
morning. Sustained speeds of 15 to 20 mph can be expected from
late morning into early evening... along with gusts to 35 mph.

* Temperature... low temperatures will be in the mid 20s tonight.
Northwest winds will also produce lower wind chills readings
tonight as well.

* Impacts... boaters should exercise caution today... as should
drivers of high profile vehicles. Freezing temperatures will
kill sensitive vegetation that is not protected tonight.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A hard freeze warning means that temperatures less than
27 degrees are expected for at least 2 hours.

A lake Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds of 20 to
25 mph or gusts of 30 to 39 mph are expected. Small boats will be
especially prone to capsizing. Boaters in the advisory area
should avoid open water and stay close to shore in wind protected
inlets. High profile vehicles should use extra caution when
traveling as well.
