According to the National Weather Service, this freeze warning affects areas including Suwannee, Baker, Union, and Hamilton counties in Florida, as well as Coffee, Wayne, and Bacon counties in Georgia. Sensitive plants, outdoor pets, and vulnerable individuals, such as children and the elderly, are at increased risk from the cold.
