Storms and gloomy conditions for Sunday
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville is waking up to a foggy, hazy Sunday with rain and storms expected throughout the day, according to News4JAX’s meteorologist. Early morning views from The Weather Authority’s Exact Track 4D cameras at JAX Airport and Morningstar Marinas captured gray skies and low visibility—a clear contrast to Saturday’s weather.
The Weather Authority has confirmed that temperatures started the day in the upper 70s—76 degrees at JAX Airport and 78 degrees at Morningstar Marinas—with humidity levels close to 97 percent and winds out of the north-northwest, bringing in onshore weather. Drivers are being reminded to keep lights on and allow extra distance on the roads due to morning fog.
The forecast suggests more widespread rain and thunderstorms, especially along and near the coast through early afternoon. Storm activity is expected to move inland as the day progresses, with locations like Nassau County possibly experiencing downpours and frequent lightning. Plans for Sunday outdoor activities may need to be rethought, as storms could be scattered across the area through the evening.
Short-term temperature and rain trends—drying out after storms
Sunday’s cloudy and rainy setup means cooler temperatures compared to recent days. Highs are expected to reach only the low 90s, providing a break from the excessive heat experienced earlier in the week. The Weather Authority does not expect any heat advisories at this time.
For those eyeing poolside plans, conditions may be challenging thanks to increasing storms through the afternoon. Expect gradual clearing into Monday, as the system bringing unsettled weather is forecast to drift away. The Weather Authority is tracking a hurricane passing to the east—though there is no direct impact at this time, it should help bring drier air for the start of the week.
Seven-day forecast—trends and changes
Looking at the full week ahead, the 7-day forecast from The Weather Authority shows a trend toward drying out after Monday, with highs rebounding into the low and mid-90s by Tuesday through the end of the week. Rain chances are expected to be lower after the wet start to the week, though the possibility of summer storms will return as temperatures climb again by midweek.
