Florida – Cool air still lingers across northeast Florida this morning, with Jacksonville starting the day in the mid-40s under clear skies. Breath shows briefly at sunrise, lawns feel damp and cold, and jackets remain useful for early errands.
According to the National Weather Service, freeze concerns that impacted inland areas earlier this week are easing. Milder air continues pushing north, signaling a noticeable shift toward warmer, more comfortable conditions through the end of the week.
Today turns mostly sunny and pleasant, with highs climbing into the upper 60s. Winds remain light, and the chill fades quickly by late morning. By tonight, clouds increase and lows hold near 50, a big change from earlier cold mornings.
Thursday brings even warmer air. Sunshine dominates after early clouds, and highs reach the low 70s. The air feels springlike by afternoon, especially away from the coast. Friday stays dry and warm, with temperatures pushing into the mid to upper 70s across Jacksonville and Duval County.
Changes arrive this weekend. Moisture begins increasing Saturday, and clouds thicken through the day. While most of Saturday stays dry, a slight chance of showers develops late. Sunday brings a higher chance for rain, with scattered showers possible through the afternoon and evening. Roads may turn slick at times, especially along I-95 and major surface streets during brief downpours.
Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook shows above-normal temperatures continuing across Florida, while rain chances remain elevated as weather systems track across the Southeast. No return to freezing conditions is expected at this time.
Residents should enjoy the warmer stretch, but keep umbrellas handy by Sunday and plan outdoor activities earlier in the weekend.
