JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The morning starts calm and slightly damp across northeast Florida, but a stretch of classic fall weather is waiting in the wings. After a few passing clouds and a low chance of evening showers, the sky clears and sunshine takes firm control just in time for Halloween.
According to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, a brief shower window late tonight may bring a sprinkle across Duval and Clay Counties. Winds will shift southerly, then turn northwest Thursday as drier air surges in behind the weak disturbance. Skies brighten through the morning, and breezy sunshine will dominate the afternoon with highs near 69°F — a welcome cooldown after recent humidity.
By Friday, conditions look nearly ideal for trick-or-treating across the metro area and coastal communities. Clear skies, light winds, and evening temperatures near 60°F will make for comfortable costumes and smooth travel on local routes including I-95, US-17, and Beach Boulevard. Visibility stays excellent through the night — a reminder to slow down and stay alert for families walking between neighborhoods.
This weekend stays mild and pleasant, with daytime highs in the low 70s and crisp mornings in the upper 40s. Saturday’s breeze will ease by Sunday, setting up one of the most comfortable stretches of fall so far.
A true Florida Halloween — breezy, bright, and dry — before a cooler November pattern slowly settles in next week.
