JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – While the sun will shine under blue skies, the temperatures will struggle to get out of the upper 40s in Southeast Georgia and lower 50s in Northeast Florida on Monday. Windy conditions continue from the northwest at 15-20 mph with gusts of 25-30 mph, making it feel even cooler than the thermometer.
