Residents of Jacksonville can mostly rest easy for the next week, with only a slight chance of showers disrupting what the National Weather Service predicts will be mostly sunny days. Currently, the city is cloaked in a dreary canvas of mostly cloudy skies and a cool 55°F, but this should give way to sunnier horizons, with the mercury set to climb to a pleasant 71° today. The winds, shifting from the north this morning to east by afternoon, may occasionally gust up to 20 mph.
Tonight could see Jacksonville enveloped in patchy fog between the wee hours of 1am and 4am, offering a hint of atmospheric introspection before returning to partly cloudy skies and an expected low of around 54°F.
