Clear skies are greeting Jacksonville Saturday morning, with a mostly sunny day ahead and temperatures climbing into the upper 70s. The catch is along the coast, where dangerous rip currents are expected to make Northeast Florida beaches a risky place to swim through Monday morning.
Sunny Saturday Comes With A Beach Warning
Jacksonville should reach about 78 degrees Saturday. Rain is not expected, and temperatures should settle near 60 degrees Saturday night under partly cloudy skies.
The National Weather Service says the high rip current risk begins Saturday afternoon and continues through Monday morning along Northeast Florida beaches. Swimmers should stay near a lifeguard, avoid fighting the current if caught, and float while moving parallel to shore when possible.
Clear Weather Holds Into Next Week
Sunday looks mostly sunny with a high near 74, with winds turning northeasterly and an overnight low near 59. Monday and Tuesday stay sunny and mild, with highs near 77 and no meaningful rain chance in the forecast.
That keeps the weekend outlook brighter than the unsettled stretch covered in Hoodline's earlier forecast, although patchy inland fog remains possible Sunday and Monday mornings. Early commuters outside the immediate coast may want a little extra time if visibility drops.
Cooler Air Arrives By Friday
Veterans Day should be partly sunny and nice, while Thursday brings a slight chance of rain showers after 1 p.m. The bigger shift arrives Friday, when chilly, breezy conditions are expected.
