Though temperatures this winter season have been abnormally high, meteorologists expect cold weather for the remainder of the week.
Until Sunday, the daily low will dip into the low 40s and 30s, and the high will not exceed 66 degrees, according to the National Weather Service Web site.
After next week, however, temperatures should begin to rise.
"On average, the coldest part of the winter is right around now," said Scott Carroll, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Jacksonville.
Even though Carroll said the weather will be warmer toward the end of January, he added that temperatures could drop again anytime until March, when winter officially ends.
"There is still a possibility of more cold snaps," Carroll said.
Thus far, winter temperatures have been relatively high when compared with past years.
In December, the average temperature was 59.4 degrees.
That was four and a half degrees above average, Carroll said.
Both January and February are expected to be warmer than average as well.
Rainfall has been slightly below average this winter.
There is an 80 percent chance it will rain Wednesday, and a 60 percent chance of rain on Thursday.
