JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Monday morning marked the official beginning of meteorological fall and our morning temperatures gave us a taste of fall. Most areas along I-95 got down into the mid-60s, with upper-60s and low-70s along the coast. The coolest locations were our inland areas, where we saw widespread low-60s and a few isolated upper-50s briefly around sunrise.
Low humidity and slightly cooler air made for a crisp feeling to start of the day. Onshore winds relax some today, weaker than they have been in a week. The direction of the lighter winds will still keep us cooler than average for most of the day, topping out at 87°.
