JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 If you\u2019re wondering whether this is the weekend to get outside in Jacksonville, my answer is: absolutely yes! We\u2019re heading into a truly beautiful stretch, and you can expect plenty of sunshine pretty much everywhere you go.<\/p>\n
Right now, temperatures are feeling comfortable\u2014think highs reaching the low 80s in Jacksonville, with mid-70s closer to the coast. This mellow mood carries through today and tomorrow. It\u2019s the kind of weather that will keep your hair straight, your mood bright, and your plans easy.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re planning to catch some varsity high school football tonight, look for temperatures in the 70s at kickoff, dipping into the 60s by the end of the game. No need to worry about rain delays or chilly air sneaking in. Be sure to cheer on your team\u2014I hope you get the W!<\/p>\n
Small rain chance with weekend front<\/p>\n
We do have a little weather wrinkle on the horizon. There\u2019s a weak cold front expected to move through late Sunday into Monday, bringing only a 20% chance of showers. Most of the moisture looks likely to break up before reaching us, so impacts will probably be minimal.<\/p>\n
Once the front moves out, high pressure will settle back in, which means dry, sunny days will continue as we start the new week. Highs are forecast to hover in the 80s, and lows in the 60s\u2014perfect for any plans you\u2019ve set up.<\/p>\n
High rip current risk<\/p>\n
If a beach trip is on your weekend agenda, I\u2019ve got to add a little caution: the rip current risk is high along the coast right now. Surf heights are expected to be in the 2 to 3 foot range, which is great for soaking up the sun but could make swimming a little risky.<\/p>\n
If you hit the sand, keep an eye out for warning flags and swim near lifeguards. Enjoy that beautiful weather, but let\u2019s all play it safe!<\/p>\n
