Florida – Low clouds slide over the St. Johns River this morning as damp air clings to neighborhoods and roadways. Jackets feel optional now, but weather changes are already lining up for the weekend and early next week across northeast Florida.
Conditions improve through today, with gradual clearing and highs reaching the low 70s. According to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, quiet weather holds into Friday as sunshine dominates and temperatures climb into the mid-70s. It will feel more like early spring than late January, especially during the afternoon.
That calm pattern begins to loosen Saturday. Clouds increase by midday, and a slight chance of showers develops during the afternoon and early evening. Winds turn breezy at times, especially near the coast and along the Intracoastal Waterway. While rain coverage stays limited Saturday, outdoor plans may need flexibility.
Sunday brings a more noticeable shift. Shower chances increase through the afternoon as moisture deepens across northeast Florida. Highs approach 80 degrees before clouds thicken. Roads could turn slick at times, especially along I-95 and I-10 during heavier showers. Keep extra stopping distance if traveling later in the day.
Rain chances continue into Sunday night, with showers likely at times. Thunderstorms remain limited, but brief downpours could reduce visibility. By Monday, cooler air filters in behind the system. Showers may linger early before tapering, with highs falling back into the lower 60s.
Looking ahead, longer-range outlooks suggest a more unsettled pattern next week across parts of the Southeast, while much colder air grips the central and eastern U.S. Jacksonville avoids the harsh winter impacts but still sees increasing variability.
