Jacksonville is feeling pretty good right now, with temperatures in the low 60s across town and 70s hanging on along the coast. When you head further inland, it cools off into the 50s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Looking ahead, our average high is right around 81 degrees, and you can expect temperatures to land just a little above or below that over the next several days. Saturday is looking sunny and mild with a high near 80 degrees. Sunday warms up a bit to about 86 degrees, and there is a 20 percent chance you might see some rain as a front moves through. Monday\u2019s forecast is similar, with a high near 82 degrees and another 20 percent chance of rain. Otherwise, we\u2019re seeing a lot of sun, thanks to high pressure sticking around before that front arrives.<\/p>\n<p>Fun times: football, 5Ks, sunshine<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">If you\u2019re heading out for Friday night football or joining one of the 5Ks this weekend\u2014like the Oktoberfest Beer &amp; Brats 5K in San Marco\u2014you\u2019re in luck. The weather is expected to be gorgeous for outdoor plans. High school football games Friday night kick off with temperatures in the low 70s at 6 p.m., sliding down to the upper 60s by 8 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">For the Saturday evening 5K in San Marco, clear skies are forecast and it should feel very comfortable, hanging in the 70s during the race. I was out there checking out the setup yesterday, and it\u2019s looking like a great event. These mild conditions should be just right for runners and fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kNAFkD cuqaEv article-text\">Got an awesome event photo or you\u2019re capturing the beautiful weather this weekend?

It\u2019s a good time to use extra caution in the surf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Out in the Atlantic, there are two tropical systems we\u2019re keeping an eye on. One is expected to stay well to our east, while another has a 30 percent chance of developing in the Caribbean over the next seven days. I\u2019ll keep you updated if anything changes with these systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">For now, enjoy the warm October sunshine and the beautiful weather on tap for all your outdoor plans in Jacksonville and across Northeast Florida!<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2025 by WJXT News4JAX &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jacksonville\u2019s weekend forecast details JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Hi there, it\u2019s Katie Garner from The Weather Authority, and I\u2019ve&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8215,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[8268,508,116,8484,118,117,2607,8487,2603,8486,8266,8485,1075],"class_list":["post-8214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-exact-track-4d","tag-forecast","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-football-weather","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-jacksonville-weather","tag-northeast-florida-forecast","tag-rip-current-risk","tag-san-marco-5k","tag-the-weather-authority","tag-tropical-development","tag-weekend-forecast"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
