Jacksonville locals can look forward to mostly clear skies and moderate temperatures this week, with a side of warnings about gusts strong enough to maybe reconsider that hat you love but can never quite keep on your head. The National Weather Service in Jacksonville, FL is predicting a sunny day today with a high near 67. However, it's going to be quite windy with a northwest wind blowing 15 to 20 mph, and gusts that could reach as high as 29 mph, making it a challenge to not get swept up in the bluster.
As the night draws in, the clear skies will persist, and the winds are expected to slow down a little, dropping to a northwestern flow at 6 to 10 mph, and gusts decreasing to hardly push to 16 mph. The following days will continue the sunny trend with tomorrow's highs reaching near 71 and Wednesday looking to be even warmer at a high near 79, offering a moment to appreciate the calm before a 30 percent chance of showers come Thursday morning, according to the NWS forecast.
Thursday afternoon is expected to sweep clear any remnants of rain quickly, giving way to mostly sunny conditions and a high near 75 which, coupled with the breezy aftermath, could make it a perfect day to spend outdoors. Nighttime temperatures for most of the week seem to remain consistent, hovering in the mid-40s to high-40s, with the exemption of Wednesday dipping into the mid-50s just long enough to remind to enjoy the warmth while it lasts.
The weekend promises to hold the pleasurable pattern, with mostly sunny skies carrying through and highs surging up to 77 on Saturday and 78 on Sunday. As people plan their weekends, those nighttime conditions seem to comfortably settle into the mid-50s—a subtle and gentle cool to balance out the day's warmth.
