Florida – Wet pavement shines under streetlights this morning as light rain lingers across northeast Florida. A brisk wind follows close behind. Conditions improve quickly, but colder air moves in fast, setting up a sharp temperature drop and a brief taste of winter for Jacksonville.
According to the National Weather Service, showers taper off early this morning as winds turn breezy from the northwest. Skies gradually clear, but colder, drier air pours in behind the system. Gusts today may reach 25 to 30 mph, making it feel cooler than readings suggest.
By Friday morning, temperatures dip into the mid-30s across Jacksonville, with patchy frost possible in sheltered areas. Bridges and overpasses could feel slick early, especially where moisture lingers. Drivers should stay alert during the morning commute.
Friday recovers nicely under sunshine, with highs climbing into the low 60s. Clear skies and light winds Friday night allow another chilly drop. Lows fall into the mid-40s in the city, with colder pockets inland. Sensitive plants may need protection both Friday and Saturday mornings.
Saturday and Sunday bring bright skies and cool starts, then comfortable afternoons. Highs reach the low to mid-60s Saturday and mid-60s Sunday. Outdoor plans look solid, though mornings stay crisp. Layer up if heading out early.
Looking ahead, the pattern flips. Early next week turns noticeably warmer, with highs climbing into the low 70s Monday and mid-70s by Tuesday. NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Florida, hinting that this cold snap will be brief.
Keep jackets handy today, protect plants before sunrise Friday, and expect calmer, sunnier weather through the weekend. Feeling the chill where you live? Let us know how cold it felt this morning.
