Showers for the ride home Friday

A narrow band of showers will push through Jacksonville from 3-5 pm today. Don’t expect much heavy accumulation as the rain should be gone by sunset.

After a warm day, possibly tying a record of 83°, we will see a sharp cold down tonight. Temps dip into the 50s this evening followed by lows near 40 by sunrise. Some areas inland from north into Georgia will reach the mid to upper 30s.

Saturday will be the last time we get this cold for a long time. Tomorrow looks sunny and breezy with NE winds. Cold temps only reach 60 during the afternoon but overnight lows into Sunday will be 8-10 degrees warmer than Saturday night.

Sunday starts a warm-up into the 70s followed by next week’s potential record warmth in the low to mid 80s.

After Friday afternoon, we are unlikely to see any rain for weeks as a dry warm spell takes over.
