JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 I know a lot of you felt that chilly wind early this morning, but don\u2019t get too comfortable\u2014warmer weather is taking over fast! <\/p>\n
Around Jacksonville, we went from 59 degrees up to 70 degrees before you could blink, and this trend is going to stick with us for a while.<\/p>\n
Day by day, you can expect those numbers to keep climbing. <\/p>\n
According to our Exact Track 4D radar and temperature maps, the biggest thing I\u2019m watching is that we don\u2019t have any significant rain in sight. <\/p>\n
Our normal high right now is 89 degrees, and many of you have asked when we\u2019ll get back into the 90s. That temperature mark is just around the corner, so keep an eye on those forecasts!<\/p>\n
Fire danger remains high<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s something really important: the area is still dealing with a major drought. <\/p>\n
On top of that, wind gusts in the teens to 20s are making things drier and increasing our fire risk.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re spending any time outdoors or planning to do some burning, please use extra caution. The weather is expected to stay warm and dry, so those fire risks aren\u2019t going away anytime soon.<\/p>\n
Outdoor plans and beach days<\/p>\n
If you have the day off or you\u2019re making summer plans with the kids, it\u2019s looking like a fantastic stretch for outdoor activities. <\/p>\n
Visibility is great\u2014no fog to slow you down\u2014and we\u2019re looking at mostly sunny skies. <\/p>\n
A little cloud cover might pop up, but nothing that should spoil those beach days.<\/p>\n
