Jacksonville starts Sunday with a foggy weather wrinkle before settling into mostly sunny skies and a warm afternoon. Temperatures should reach about 79 degrees, then ease toward the mid-70s later in the day as northeast winds pick up.

Areas of fog are expected before 10 a.m., with northeast winds increasing to 15 mph and gusting as high as 25 mph. The National Weather Service in Jacksonville says inland locations could see another round of dense fog late Sunday night and into Monday morning, creating reduced visibility for early drivers.

Beachgoers Face Dangerous Rip Currents

A rip current statement remains in effect for Northeast Florida beaches through 7 a.m. Monday, with dangerous currents and rough surf expected. Swimmers should stay near a lifeguard, and anyone caught in a rip current should float, avoid swimming directly against it and signal for help.

Warm Start To Week Before A Sharp Cooldown

Monday and Tuesday look sunny and warm, with highs near 78; Monday night's low is forecast at 52 degrees. Veterans Day on Wednesday should stay partly sunny with a high near 77, although clouds begin to build ahead of the next weather change.

That change arrives Thursday and Friday, with a strong cold front bringing breezy conditions and increased, isolated-to-scattered shower chances Thursday. Highs fall from the mid-70s Thursday to around 65 Friday, while temperatures turn chilly by the weekend.

Sunny, Cooler Weekend Ahead

Saturday is expected to be sunny, with a high near 78. The weekend forecast is dry, but Jacksonville residents may want a jacket for early mornings after several days of unusually warm temperatures.
