JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Morning fog drifts low over the St. Johns River this Wednesday, softening city lights and slowing early commuters. Within hours, the haze will burn away, revealing a stretch of sun-soaked, dry weather that’s about as pleasant as late October gets along the First Coast.
According to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, patchy fog will linger until around 9 a.m. before skies clear to bright sunshine. Highs will climb into the low 80s today with light northwest winds. Tonight stays clear and cool, dipping to the mid-50s under calm skies.
The pattern stays steady through Friday, with warm, breezy afternoons and crisp evenings. Highs hover in the upper 70s to near 80, while a light north wind helps keep humidity low. Friday could see gusts up to 20 mph, adding a touch of chill for those planning evening football games or outdoor events.
Saturday brings near-perfect fall weather — sunshine, low humidity, and a gentle coastal breeze. By Sunday, a weak front nudging through north Florida may spark a few isolated showers, mainly east of I-95 and near the beaches, though most areas stay dry.
For now, residents can enjoy this run of mild, golden days — ideal for Halloween decorating, yard cleanup, or weekend drives toward Fernandina and St. Augustine. To be fair, it’s the kind of stretch that defines fall in Florida: warm enough for shorts, but with a whisper of cooler air hinting at the months ahead.
