Dry warmth today transitions to a cooler night

Best weekend since May heading our way

Look for a break in the humidity the next two days and cooler nights.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It has been a breezy dry day and as we head into the evening a cold front will pass providing a brief break in heat and humidity.

The air is so dry behind Hurricane Michael that temperatures will drop quick into the 70s just after sunset tonight. You can even expect 60s after midnight which will make waking up Friday very refreshing.
