Jacksonville is bracing for scattered showers as fans prepare for the highly anticipated game between the Jaguars and the Chiefs tonight at EverBank Stadium. The kickoff is scheduled for around 8:15 p.m. where the temperature is expected to be around 77 degrees, but fans may want to prepare for rain.
Weather forecasts indicate that Jacksonville will experience spotty showers during the game, though they are not expected to significantly disrupt plans. Fans attending are advised to bring rain gear, as umbrellas are not permitted within the stadium. The early evening weather looks favorable with mostly clear skies, making it ideal for tailgating and gathering with fellow fans.
Throughout the day, however, Jacksonville has encountered a mix of rain showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the afternoon. By 6 a.m. on October 6, the city was experiencing dry conditions with temperatures in the low 70s. But heavy rainfall is anticipated to affect areas to the south, including Palatka, Gainesville, and Macclenny, while Jacksonville itself is not expected to face a major washout. Rain chances are heightened during school release hours around 3 p.m.
Rain totals for the upcoming five days are predicted to be between half an inch and one and a half inches, varying by location. The current temperature in Jacksonville stands at 75 degrees, while surrounding areas are in the low to mid-70s and the coast is experiencing upper 70s. Daytime highs are forecasted to remain in the low to mid-80s, close to the regional average of 84 degrees. Coastal winds are on the rise, with sustained speeds expected to reach the teens and potentially rise into the 20s later in the afternoon.
Once the game concludes, forecasts suggest that rain chances will significantly diminish moving into midweek, leading to sunnier conditions. Additionally, the forecast for Monday night anticipates a 70% chance of rain with a warm high of 81 degrees. A Coastal Flood Advisory as well as a Rip Current Statement is currently in effect until Monday morning and a Coastal Flood Watch will commence on Friday, continuing through to Monday.
