JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It's here! For a little while, anyway.
We'll enjoy fall weather for about 72 hours. It started Thursday when drier, cooler air pushed into the southeast, clearing our skies out and holding our afternoon temperatures in the low 80s.
Thursday evening, Florida fall kicks into high gear, with most of the evening spent in the comfortable 70s and overnight low slipping into the 60s.
