Florida – Fog lifts into a gray morning sky across Jacksonville as light rain and mist begin the day. The air feels warm and heavy, but don’t be fooled — stronger showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected through the afternoon, adding an unsettled start to the first week of December.
According to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms continues through early evening with highs near 78°F. Southerly winds may gust up to 25 mph, especially near the St. Johns River and coastal highways. Drivers along I-95, I-10, and US-17 should anticipate reduced visibility and slick pavement, particularly during the lunch and evening commute windows.
Rain gradually moves out by nightfall as drier, cooler air filters in. Lows fall into the low 50s, with calmer winds and partly clear skies setting up a much brighter Wednesday. Highs midweek reach the mid-60s under mostly sunny skies, offering a brief break before another system brings showers back late Friday into Saturday.
The weekend looks mild but unsettled — scattered rain returns with highs near 70°F and lows in the upper 50s.
Keep umbrellas close, secure outdoor decorations, and give yourself extra braking room on slick streets — Jacksonville’s December weather is starting on a soggy, breezy note.
