JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It almost couldn’t be better outside! As we kick off the weekend in Jacksonville, I’m seeing morning temperatures in the 50s, 60s, and 70s across the region.
The day quickly warms up, with highs today expected to reach 86 degrees under sunny skies. Tonight, look for things to cool down to about 66 degrees with partly cloudy conditions.
On Saturday, the forecast is for 89 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds. Sunday will be even warmer, likely topping at 92 degrees.
That’s a good 20 degrees warmer than those early morning lows, and it’s a bit above average for this time of year.
Every day this weekend is shaping up to be a beautiful one to get outdoors—just the way we like it in Jacksonville!
Boater Skip Day: hydration and heat
If you’re heading out for Boater Skip Day, you’ve picked the perfect weather. The forecast is partly cloudy for most of the day, with sustained winds around 5 to 6 mph and just a few stronger gusts that should feel pretty nice out on the water.
Temperatures by 3 p.m. are expected to hit 92 degrees.
If you’re packing a cooler, make sure you bring plenty of water—a hot day like this can sneak up on you!
Dehydration is a real risk, so keep hydrating all day. Don’t forget to slather on the sunscreen, too—SPF is a must this weekend.
Tropics quiet, rain returns midweek
The Atlantic and the Gulf are both clear of any tropical activity right now, which is great news as we get into the early days of hurricane season.
The Pacific is a little more active, but nothing there is expected to affect us here at home.
We aren’t seeing much in terms of rain this weekend or the start of next week.
That changes a bit midweek, when I expect a new system to move in and bring some much-needed rain—though, at this point, it looks like just one day of showers before we dry back out.
Enjoy these sun-filled days while they last, and if you spot something interesting out there, share your weather photos and videos with us on SnapJAX!
