The Jacksonville area is in for a mixed bag of weather conditions this week, according to the National Weather Service. Starting with a foggy morning that's expected to clear out, locals can anticipate a mostly sunny day with light winds, picking up a bit as the day progresses. Temperatures are predicted to crest at a comfortable 71 degrees. For those venturing out, the varying conditions could make for layered wardrobe choices—a light jacket might come in handy.
Tonight, however, brings a slight 20 percent chance of showers creeping in after 4 a.m., and fog is expected to set in around 9 p.m., so late-night travelers should take heed. From what the NWS details, after the fog burns off on Tuesday, the sun should take over once more — a pattern that seems to follow into the New Year, with clear skies forecasted in NWS, Jacksonville, FL. As the week stretches on, the warmth will as well, peaking at about 77 degrees on Tuesday before a brisk breeze sweeps in, hinting that a light sweater might serve locals well for the remainder of the week.
As the city approaches New Year's Day, the climate takes a cooler turn. Residents can anticipate a sunny end to the celebrations, yet the high is forecasted to dip to a cooler 64 degrees. Continuing through the week, the evenings are slated to be crisp, with lows hovering around 40, signaling perhaps the need to swap the sweaters for something heavier to fend off the chill.
The latter part of the week maintains the cooler trend, with mostly sunny days, but with the high temperatures only pushing into the low 60s. Those planning to celebrate the weekend outdoors can do so under clear skies, per NWS forecasts, but should be prepared for cooler evenings, with the mercury falling to around 38 degrees Friday night.
