JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Today’s forecast is a classic summer setup for the Jacksonville area, with temperatures expected to shoot up to around 92 degrees.
You’ll notice mostly clear skies and that familiar warmth building through the morning.
Our Exact Track 4D radar shows we’re starting off in the mid to upper 70s across town.
That warm start is just setting the stage for a hot and sunny day ahead, even with a few clouds drifting by.
Afternoon storms and wind picking up
Don’t let the sun fool you—all signs point to some afternoon showers moving in.
I’m expecting those to be a bit stronger than what we saw yesterday, with the chance they’ll roll in alongside gusty winds.
Right now, winds are calm, but gusts are forecast to pick up as we get into the afternoon.
Most spots will likely see gusts between 12 mph and 17 mph.
So, if you’re planning anything outdoors, keep an eye on the clouds this afternoon—some pop-up storms are likely.
Gardening forecast and handy rain relief
I’ll be honest, I’m not a fan of yard chores. Luckily, these afternoon showers will help out if you’re hoping for the garden to get a break from the watering can!
The gardening forecast shows rain chances up to 60% today. For the rest of the week, you’ll still see rain possibilities, so let Mother Nature take some of that work off your plate.
As for tonight, we’ll see mild conditions stick around—mostly cloudy and around 75 degrees.
Looking ahead to tropical updates
And keep your eyes on what’s coming next—later this week, I’ll have the latest on the tropics. There’s nothing specific to watch yet, but The Weather Authority is tracking everything so you’re ready for whatever develops.
