Hey there, Jacksonville! If you’re ready for some cheerful news about the weather, you’re in for a treat.

Sunday Soiree: Warm Temperatures Await!
Looking ahead to Sunday afternoon, we can expect a lovely warm-up that could see temperatures creeping toward 80°F in Southeast Georgia and inland Northeast Florida. Coastal areas, while still staying in the comfortable low 70s, will enjoy a gentle sea breeze that’s sure to make any outdoor activity even better!

Keep an Eye on the Sky
The forecast shows light winds sweeping through with just a few clouds passing by, creating ideal conditions for enjoying the outdoors. If you’ve got plans for a picnic or want to dust off that golf club, now is the time! The following few days look quite stable too, with a mere 20% chance of rain rolling in Monday evening into Tuesday morning as a cold front approaches. But don’t worry, after that little sprinkle, temperatures won’t plunge drastically!
Looking Back: Recent Cold Snaps
Winter Weather Awareness
The National Weather Service streamlined winter weather alerts, keeping residents informed about potential icy conditions, particularly in downtown Jacksonville and parts of Southeast Georgia. With winter storms causing concerns for precipitation like snow, sleet, and freezing rain, residents were urged to prepare for potentially hazardous driving conditions. It’s incredible to think that Jacksonville recorded its coldest temperature in history at a bone-chilling 7°F back on January 21, 1985!
Be Prepared and Stay Informed
While we can look forward to sunny skies and warmer temperatures, it’s always good to stay alert. Hazardous conditions from icy weather can still affect travel and utilities and lead to potential power outages. Warming centers were established for those needing protection from the cold, ensuring everyone has a safe place to seek refuge.
A Bright Path Ahead
As we head into this lovingly mild weekend, let’s relish in the joys of pleasant weather while also recalling the lessons learned from the recent cold snaps. So grab your family and friends, soak in the sunshine, and enjoy everything that Jacksonville has to offer. Remember to keep an eye on the forecast as it shifts, but for now, it looks like a lovely break from the winter chill is just what we need!
Happy adventuring, Jacksonville! May your weekend be sunny, warm, and full of laughter!
