JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Good morning and happy Thanksgiving! If you’re hoping for cool, crisp air as you head to brunch, lunch, or wherever your holiday takes you in Jacksonville, you’re in luck.
I’m forecasting that Thanksgiving Day temperatures will top out at 66 degrees, making this a comfortable holiday for spending time outdoors. You can expect mostly sunny skies throughout the day, according to our Exact Track 4D radar, and wind speeds will stay nice and calm.
Cooler temperatures here for now
We’ve had a cold front move through Northeast Florida, and it’s brought in a noticeable drop in temperatures this week. When I checked early this morning, we had temperatures at 61 degrees at JAX Airport, 62 in Mayport, and 64 in St. Augustine.
Expect these cooler conditions to stick around through Saturday. After that, we’re likely to see highs climbing back above average Sunday through Tuesday. If you like a little chill in the air, this stretch is for you!
Rain chances and record-dry November
Here’s something you might not have noticed with all the food prep and family plans: This has been the driest November on record in the Jacksonville area so far, with no recorded rainfall for the month.
That could begin to change soon. Another cold front is expected to move in just in time for Sunday, bringing with it a chance of a little moisture. We need the rain, so stay tuned—I’ll be watching those totals closely and will keep you updated as we get closer.
One of my favorite parts of today is hearing what you’re cooking or eating for the holiday! Share your Thanksgiving meals with me and everyone at News4JAX by uploading your photos at SnapJAX.
