Jacksonville residents can look forward to a mixture of foggy mornings and sunny days ahead, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms rolling in by Sunday, according to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, FL. The city woke up to a fair 58°F this morning, with a calm wind and a decent visibility of 10 miles, despite the humidity sitting at a sticky 87%. The NWS predicts "Patchy fog before 9am" today, but then it's all clear with "sunny, with a high near 78" forecasted and light breezes picking up in the afternoon.
Tonight, the pattern of fog continues, with "Patchy fog after 2am" expected and temperatures dipping to a low around 61. The gentle east wind will persist at 6 to 8 mph. It seems that after the fog lifts tomorrow morning, the city will be graced with "mostly sunny" skies and a "high near 83," before getting breezy with south wind gusts that could reach up to 23 mph, as per the NWS forecast.
Moving into Sunday, residents should prepare for a change in the weather. The NWS warns of the likelihood of showers and the possibility of thunderstorms in the afternoon, stating there is a "70% chance of precipitation." These conditions are anticipated to remain throughout the night with "Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm," as the clouds only partly part and temperatures take a slight fall to 54.
However, with the new week comes a twist in the weather story. Monday's forecast brings a 30 percent chance of showers before 8am, but it quickly turns to "Sunny, with a high near 68" in the wake of the front's passage. The breezy conditions seem to be a recurring theme as winds continue, though the outlook stays clear for Monday night with a temperature slated to drop to around 50, according to the NWS update.
For those looking ahead, the NWS Jacksonville assures more sunny days, with highs in the early 70s and nighttime lows hovering in the low 50s, until Thursday, when there's a slight "20 percent chance of showers." Despite this, it is expected to be "Mostly sunny, with a high near 77."
