JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Good morning! If you\u2019re wondering about what to wear before heading out the door, let me be your guide.<\/p>\n
I went with my puff coat today, and I\u2019m glad I did. Temperatures early this morning dropped to 49 degrees at the airport. <\/p>\n
Inland areas like Green Cove Springs cooled all the way to 46.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re closer to the coast\u2014think St. Augustine or Mayport\u2014you woke up to temps in the low 60s, a little milder, but noticeably gusty.<\/p>\n
My advice? Go for a light layer or jacket this morning. You\u2019ll likely be able to peel it off by the afternoon, especially the closer you are to the water.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s breezy, too, with wind gusts in the teens and 20s, so if you\u2019re sensitive to wind chill, definitely bundle up a bit.<\/p>\n
Afternoon showers possible, but brief<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s talk rain\u2014because our lawns could sure use it! Exact Track 4D radar is clear right now.<\/p>\n
A couple of light showers are expected to move in from the Atlantic after lunchtime, but it won\u2019t be anything heavy.<\/p>\n
Most of us won\u2019t see any rain at all, and if you do, expect it to be short-lived.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re about 10 inches shy of where we should be with rainfall this time of year, so even a bit helps, but don\u2019t count on your plans being washed out.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead to Christmas week<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s some good news for your holidays: it\u2019s looking like a dry Christmas for Jacksonville!<\/p>\n
Afternoon temperatures are expected to climb into the 60s under mostly sunny skies.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re tackling any last-minute shopping, expect to start with some cloud cover in the morning, but you\u2019ll be greeted by sunshine as the day goes on.<\/p>\n
