Florida — A golden sunrise is breaking over the St. Johns River this Halloween morning, promising a bright, comfortable start to the weekend across Jacksonville and northeast Florida. The National Weather Service says skies will stay mostly clear and dry, with highs near 70°F and a light northwest breeze, ideal for outdoor Halloween events and late-day trick-or-treating.
After several cool mornings this week, the region is sliding into a stretch of classic fall warmth. Temperatures will rise into the low 70s Saturday and mid-70s by Sunday, with plenty of sunshine and calm winds — perfect for football tailgates, pumpkin patch visits, or a trip to the beaches. The air will stay comfortably dry through the weekend, and humidity levels remain low enough to keep that crisp, late-October feel in the mornings.
By Sunday evening, however, subtle changes begin. Winds turn southerly, drawing in more moisture from the Gulf. Clouds will increase late in the day, signaling the approach of a weak cold front expected to pass through early Monday. That front could bring isolated showers or brief thunderstorms, mainly between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday, before clearing skies and cooler air return.
Looking ahead to Tuesday and Wednesday, forecasters expect another run of mild, sunny days with highs near 75°F and lows in the low 50s — excellent weather for early yard cleanup or getting a head start on holiday lights before the next cool-down.
After all, November begins in true Florida fashion: sunny, steady, and just cool enough to remind you fall is here.
