Florida – A streak of mild, breezy days is giving way to change across Jacksonville as the first signs of December weather begin to take shape. Morning clouds drift over the St. Johns River today while a cooler north breeze signals that late fall’s grip is tightening across the Southeast.
The National Weather Service in Jacksonville reports highs near 68°F Friday with plenty of sunshine returning after a brief cloudy stretch. Gusts could reach 20 mph, keeping the air crisp and dry. By Saturday, the pattern shifts again—temperatures climb into the upper 60s to low 70s, but increasing clouds will mark the approach of another front.
Sunday brings the next change, with a 20–30% chance of showers developing by afternoon. The system isn’t strong, but enough moisture will move in to make for slick roads and damp conditions during the evening hours. Post-Thanksgiving travelers along I-10, I-95, and US-17 should expect reduced visibility at times, especially near the coast.
Behind the front, early next week will trend cooler and breezier, with highs in the low 70s and lows near 55°F. NOAA’s extended outlook hints at below-normal temperatures and above-normal rainfall through December 2–6, a sign that a wetter, cooler pattern may hold into mid-December.
