Jacksonville, FL – Rain is falling steadily across northeast Florida this Sunday morning, with heavy downpours and mist reducing visibility to just a few miles at times. Roads are already slick, and standing water is developing across low-lying stretches of I-95, Butler Blvd, and U.S. 1 as a widespread rain band moves through the region.
According to the National Weather Service, showers will remain heavy through midday, with totals reaching between 1 and 2 inches before tapering off this afternoon. A few isolated thunderstorms may enhance rainfall rates briefly before drier air filters in tonight. Drivers should plan for slower commutes, use headlights in rain and fog, and avoid flooded intersections where water depth is uncertain.
Temperatures will hold near 63°F through Sunday before falling to the low 50s tonight. By Monday, the system clears out, leaving partly cloudy skies and highs around 63°F. Cooler air lingers into Tuesday morning, with lows near 46°F and dry, comfortable weather returning for most of the workweek.
By Wednesday, sunshine dominates with highs in the mid-60s, followed by a brief warmup into the lower 70s Thursday and Friday. Long-range models hint at a sharper cool-down late next weekend, possibly dipping temperatures back into the 50s as the Southeast braces for a broader December cold snap spreading from the Midwest.
