Jacksonville Experiences Warm and Muggy Start with Thunderstorm Chances
Jacksonville, FL is starting off warm and muggy on June 6, 2025, with temperatures quickly rising under a mix of sunny and cloudy skies. Highs today are expected to reach the low 90s for inland areas, while coastal regions will experience slightly cooler temperatures in the upper 80s. The combination of high temperatures and humidity could result in a heat index reaching the triple digits by this afternoon, prompting authorities to advise residents to stay hydrated if they spend time outdoors.
Weather Forecast for Later Today
Scattered thunderstorms are likely to develop later in the afternoon and early evening, particularly in inland areas. Some of these storms may produce brief heavy downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. As night falls, thunderstorm activity is expected to subside, bringing a sense of calm to the region.
Coastal Weather Patterns
Coastal areas of Jacksonville are anticipated to experience less thunderstorm activity compared to inland regions, thanks to the stabilizing influence of the Atlantic sea breeze. Tonight, the skies are expected to gradually clear, with overnight lows dropping to a comfortable mid-70s range.
Weekend Weather Outlook
Looking ahead to the weekend, typical summertime weather is on the horizon, with hot and humid afternoons expected. Daily chances of inland thunderstorms will continue, particularly on Saturday. Sunday may bring slightly drier conditions, though humidity will still be prevalent, with the possibility of pop-up storms. A weak front is expected to move northward, which could create local rain development in different areas of Florida, helping to ease ongoing drought conditions.
Long-Term Weather Predictions
The National Hurricane Center is currently monitoring a non-tropical low-pressure area for its potential tropical characteristics. However, the chances of development in the next seven days remain low, at about 10%. Factors such as incoming Saharan dust and shifting local weather patterns are expected to limit any potential tropical developments.
Throughout the week, temperatures in Jacksonville are projected to remain close to average, with highs in the mid-to-upper 80s before climbing to low 90s as the weekend approaches. Overnight lows are expected to be comfortable, ranging from the upper 60s to low 70s. Most thunderstorms expected during the week are predicted to be typical “garden variety” storms, which generally develop quickly and fade away within a short period.
Community Engagement
Residents are encouraged to share their weather-related photos through various community platforms, helping create a shared experience as Jacksonville faces the warm and muggy weather with the looming chance of thunderstorms.
