Jacksonville Halloween Weekend Weather: Showers Loom Over Trick-or-Treat Saturday
Jacksonville sits at 71 degrees under overcast skies Friday night, and the station's live forecast puts rain showers in Halloween's path before a wetter stretch builds Sunday into Monday.
Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, and Jacksonville families heading out for trick-or-treating will want the umbrellas within reach. The station's live weather feed (Open-Meteo, read this cycle) shows Jacksonville at 71 degrees and overcast on Friday night, feeling like 76, after a Friday high of 74.8 and a low of 67.6 with only a 10 percent chance of precipitation.
Saturday's forecast calls for rain showers (weather code 61 on the live feed) with a high of 78.5 and a low of 69.8, and a 15 percent precipitation chance on the current model run - not a washout, but enough for passing showers to cross neighborhoods during the evening's trick-or-treat hours. Costumes that can take a little rain, and a flashlight for wet sidewalks, are the practical calls.
The wetter part of the weekend builds after Halloween: the feed puts Sunday's precipitation chance at 48 percent with a high of 78, rising to 57 percent on Monday (high 76.8), before easing to 39 percent on Tuesday as temperatures climb back to 82.7. The Weather Desk will refresh the Halloween picture on the morning cycle as the Saturday model runs update.
