July and August can be brutal as heat and humidity conspire for a one - two punch. Afternoon feel-like temperatures can reach 105-111° and with all of the heat and humidity afternoon and evening storms can last and last well into the evening and overnight hours. Ugh.
Not this weekend.

About as pleasant mid-July weekend as far as our weather can get, as afternoon highs will be only in the 80s along area beaches, easterly (onshore) breezes will be up to 15 mph allowing for some cooling and those same winds will help to either push a few sunrise showers onto area beaches or push the possibilities of afternoon and evening storms inland, by-passing Jacksonville.
So, that leaves Jacksonville with sunny tropical blue skies, the UV Index will be in the extreme range. Pleasantly warm afternoon highs around 90° (average high is 92°) and only a few isolated showers possible both Saturday and Sunday. Mornings will be muggy with beach sunrise temperatures around 80° and inland morning lows around 73°.
This sea breeze, easterly, onshore wind pattern will last all weekend but then break down on Tuesday, which will allow for afternoon and evening storms back in Jacksonville.
The Gaughan Gauge will be a rather high (for July) an 8.
