JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Hey there! If you\u2019re in the Jacksonville area this week, get ready to soak up the sun\u2014and maybe make a splash in the pool.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re starting the week with gorgeous weather and temperatures climbing into the 90s. It\u2019s perfect for any outdoor plans, whether you\u2019re thinking about hitting the pool, spending time at the park, or just enjoying the sunshine.<\/p>\n
This morning at JAX Airport, we kicked things off at a comfortable 70 degrees with crystal clear skies and no fog in sight. If you\u2019re stepping out early, it\u2019s all about that fresh morning air before the summer heat arrives.<\/p>\n
Just a few quick showers possible<\/p>\n
Overall, the weather\u2019s expected to stay dry for most of the week, but don\u2019t be surprised if you notice a quick pop-up shower in the afternoon. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m talking about a 5% to 10% chance for a brief sprinkle today, and maybe around 10% to 20% for the next couple of days.<\/p>\n
Most of these little storms will hang out north of Jacksonville and break up fast, so they\u2019re not likely to ruin anyone\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n
Make sure you keep that sunscreen handy and stay hydrated\u2014those breezy winds around 5 to 14 mph will help, but the sun is strong out there. <\/p>\n
If you do see a cloud or two, it\u2019s just our typical summer pattern doing its thing. By the time we get to Thursday through Sunday, the rain chances do bump up a bit, but only to about 40% \u2014and even then, we\u2019re just talking about a few scattered showers, not an all-day washout.<\/p>\n
No tropical trouble this week<\/p>\n
Now, if you\u2019re keeping an eye on the tropics: nothing brewing in the Atlantic or the Gulf right now that\u2019s expected to impact us here in Jacksonville. <\/p>\n
The Pacific is busier, but nothing there will affect our weather locally. <\/p>\n
So for the next week, tropical concerns are off the table for our corner of the world.<\/p>\n
Stay cool and share your view<\/p>\n
To sum up: hot, mostly dry days ahead with just a couple quick storms possible, especially later in the week. I always recommend spending some extra time outside while this classic summer weather sticks around, but remember to listen to your body and take breaks as needed.<\/p>\n
