As we approach December, Jacksonville, Florida is experiencing a major shift in weather. Starting today, the region will face gusty winds, increasing cloud cover, and a cold front pushing in. Temperatures will reach 67°F today but will drop to 56°F by tonight, making way for a chilly evening.
A key feature of this weekend’s weather is the strong winds expected to pick up, with gusts reaching up to 28 mph. These will occur through Sunday afternoon, so residents can expect breezy conditions throughout the day. Traveling north or south on I-95? Be prepared for winds that could make driving difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles.
Rain chances start increasing by Sunday afternoon, with a 40% chance of showers late in the day, especially as the temperature drops. The cold front will bring more widespread rain by Tuesday, and showers are likely to continue into midweek. Temperatures will be in the high 70s early in the week but are expected to dip again on Wednesday.
As residents return from their post-Thanksgiving travels, be mindful of possible wet roads and cooler air making the evenings feel colder. Monday night may bring an early sign of a slight temperature drop (low of 62°F), setting the stage for cooler, more unsettled conditions through the first week of December.

- Today: Partly sunny, high 67°F.
- Tonight: Low 56°F, increasing clouds.
- Sunday: High near 76°F, rain likely after 3 p.m.
- Monday: High 71°F, slight chance of showers.
