Chilly holiday weekend forecast

Jacksonville’s weather forecast for Martin Luther King Jr Weekend looks sunny & chilly

Weekend forecast looks chilly and sunny

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The forecast for the long weekend calls for long sleeves- at the very least. A cold front pushing through the Southeast Friday night into Saturday morning will lower our temperatures through Monday.

Friday night we expect scattered showers to push through, into the overnight hours for some areas. The cold front behind the showers will then push through and we will see clearing skies and dropping temperatures. Temperatures will sink down into the upper 30s early Saturday morning. Frost is possible over inland areas, but the elevated overnight winds make frost less likely.
