Jacksonville Weather: Buckle Up for a Wild Week Ahead!

Hey there, Jacksonville! If you think you can predict what the weather is going to be like this week, think again! The sun might be shining today with a slight chance of afternoon showers, but it looks like we’re in for quite the rollercoaster ride as we head into the weekend and early next week.

Sunny Skies Today

Starting on a bright note, Jacksonville kicked off the day enveloped in a blanket of inland fog, but don’t fret! By the afternoon, we’ll be basking in mostly sunny skies with temperatures hanging out comfortably in the mid-to-upper 70s. Perfect weather to enjoy a little stroll or maybe grab a bite outdoors! However, keep an eye out for a few inland showers that might pop up in the afternoon; here’s hoping the sun prevails and dries things up quickly.

Chilly Nights Ahead

As the day winds down, temperatures will dip into the mid-50s overnight. Get cozy; you might want to grab that extra blanket!

Friday Forecast

Fast forward to Friday, and we’ll see temperatures climbing closer to 80 degrees, albeit under mostly cloudy skies. If you’re planning any outdoor activities, Saturday marks Round 3 of The Players Championship, so keep your plans flexible as things might get a bit breezy.

Stormy Sunday on the Horizon

Sunday won’t be just a lazy day. A cold front is set to swoop in, bringing the potential for rain and isolated thunderstorms, especially in the morning. If you’re heading out to catch some golf or enjoy other activities, stay tuned in to updates, as those stormy skies could affect plans! Experts are advising everyone to prepare for wet conditions.

Flood Watch Issued

This comes as a flood watch has been put in place until 10 AM EDT for northeast Florida and southeast Georgia. Heavy rainfall and thunderstorms have already left some low-lying areas experiencing minor flooding. So, if you’re out and about, stay safe!

Winter Weather Warning

But wait, there’s more! Starting Tuesday night, we’re shifting gears into winter mode. A winter storm warning is now active for most of the First Coast, covering Duval, Clay, and western Putnam Counties, running from 7 PM Tuesday until 1 PM Wednesday. Expect snowfall and sleet accumulations of up to one inch, with some areas possibly facing up to a quarter of an inch of ice. Roads could be slick, and power outages could be a concern due to ice-wrapped power lines. Better safe than sorry, so stock up and keep an eye on the road reports!

Warming Centers Ready

Jacksonville is ready for the chilly temperatures, with warming centers opening through Saturday morning for anyone in need of shelter from the cold. Prioritize your safety and check on your neighbors, especially the elderly and those without adequate heating.

Government Response

In response to the anticipated hazardous winter weather, state officials have declared a state of emergency. This will help coordinate any necessary assistance and resources for impacted areas, ensuring that safety remains a top priority for all residents.

Looking Forward

As we move past the cold front, there’s a glimmer of hope! The early part of the upcoming week looks chilly, but a gradual warm-up is on the horizon as high pressure pushes into Northeast Florida. So hang in there, Jacksonville; spring is just around the corner!

Stay warm, stay safe, and keep your umbrellas handy – it’s gonna be an interesting week!
