JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) closed Tuesday at 8 p.m. due to the incoming winter storm, the airport announced in a post on X Tuesday afternoon. The airport said it will close following its last departure, which will be "at approximately 8 p.m." Tuesday.

Just how much snow & freezing rain fell in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia? A look inside the numbers from the Jacksonville-area winter storm.

The Jacksonville International Airport closed for the first time in five years due to winter weather conditions Tuesday night.

The Jacksonville International Airport reopened Wednesday at noon after the winter storm prompted its closure Tuesday evening.

From Houston to Jacksonville, a winter storm of snow and ice is spreading through states along the Gulf of Mexico and into Northeast Florida. Jacksonville International Airport will be closed Tuesday as a result.

The ice will create hazardous travel conditions on the roads from western Jacksonville and points north and west. But what about those who have flights booked?

City government offices: The Emergency Operations Center is partially activated. All city offices will be closed. Essential personnel will report for duty before conditions deteriorate, and nonessential personnel will stay home on administrative leave. City employees can call (904) 630-CITY for updates.

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended the Commander-in-Chief Inaugural Ball and the Liberty Inaugural Ball in Washington on Monday night. An airport spokesperson said the last time the airport closed was more than five years ago for a hurricane.

Dangerous below-freezing temperatures with even colder wind chills were also expected to last over much of the week in the region.

A powerful and rare winter storm swept across the South on Tuesday, bringing the first-ever Blizzard Warning to the Gulf Coast and blasting communities from Texas to Florida to the Carolinas with record-shattering snow that snarled travel and brought daily life to a halt.

Storm Warning is in effect for the entire Interstate 10 corridor where snow and ice accumulations could reach 4" over the next 24 hours. Pensacola will likely see the most snowfall in the state while greater amounts of ice are anticipated for cities such as Tallahassee and Jacksonville.
