Jacksonville is waking up to clear skies Monday, with sunshine, dry air and temperatures climbing into the mid-80s. The pleasant reset follows a stormy stretch, but the forecast has another turn coming: cooler air, stronger winds and a few shower chances by the weekend.
Sunny Monday Comes With A Coastal Flood Advisory
Monday will stay sunny with a high near 85 degrees and northwest winds of 7 to 12 mph, with gusts reaching 20 mph. A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect through 4 p.m. for parts of the St. Johns River basin, where minor flooding could affect lots, parks and low-lying roads.
The National Weather Service Jacksonville advises drivers to allow extra time and avoid water of unknown depth. A moderate rip-current risk also continues at area beaches, so swimmers should stay near lifeguards and follow posted warnings.
Warm Weather Holds Through Friday
Tuesday should be sunny with a high near 86, followed by mostly clear nights in the upper 60s. Wednesday and Thursday stay warm and mostly sunny, with highs around 85 to 86 degrees and only a small chance of rain.
Friday could be the warmest day of the workweek, reaching about 87 degrees. The broader forecast allows for an isolated thunderstorm late Friday or Friday night, but rain chances remain low for most of Jacksonville.
Cooler, Windier Weekend Takes Shape
The bigger change arrives Saturday, when temperatures fall to around 77 degrees and north winds increase to 12 to 23 mph. A slight chance of showers develops after 2 p.m., with a 20% chance of rain.
Sunday stays cooler, with a high near 76, northeast winds around 22 mph and a chance of showers after 8 a.m. The shift is a sharp contrast with the storm-and-flood setup Hoodline covered Saturday, trading muggy heat for breezy fall-like conditions by the end of the week.
