For people looking to get cozy and feel Christmassy, this weekend will be the time to break out the scarves.
A cold front will roll through Volusia-Flagler overnight Friday into Saturday, bringing temperatures down for the weekend. But the cool temperatures won’t stick around.
Flagler County will see low temperatures in the 40s Saturday morning, said Ben Nelson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Jacksonville. Highs will likely be in the upper 50s to around 60 on Saturday and Sunday.
“We are having another cold front come through this evening, and that’s going to make it feel like Christmas this weekend,” Nelson said. “It’s not going to stick around very long.”
