Jacksonville is starting Wednesday, October 14, under patchy fog with temperatures around 70 degrees, but the murk should lift by midmorning. Mostly sunny skies then push the city toward 86 degrees, with no rain expected today.
A Special Weather Statement from the National Weather Service in Jacksonville warns that locally dense fog could cut visibility to one-half mile or less in spots through about 7:15 a.m. Conditions may change quickly from one road to the next, so the morning commute deserves extra patience.
Sunny And Hot Wednesday
Temperatures are forecast to peak near 86 this afternoon. Northeast winds will stay light, generally 1 to 9 mph, making this a much calmer day than the gusty pattern expected later this week.
Warm And Mostly Dry Through Friday
Thursday looks nearly identical, with patchy fog before 9 a.m., mostly sunny skies and a high near 86. Friday is likely the warmest day, reaching about 87 under sunny skies, while rain chances remain low.
Weekend Winds Bring Beach Hazards
The forecast changes sharply Saturday as temperatures fall to about 74 and northeast winds rise to 17 to 22 mph. Sunday stays breezy with a high near 77 and a 30% chance of showers; Monday brings another chance of showers, a high near 79 and continued northeast winds.
For beach and boating plans, the previous Hoodline forecast outlined the broader shift, but the latest outlook now puts the most immediate focus on rougher surf, a higher rip-current risk and possible coastal flooding from Saturday into early next week. Even when rain is scattered, those winds can make the shoreline and open water more dangerous.
