Jacksonville's First Standard-Time Sunday: 76 Degrees, a Building Rain Chance and a Wetter Monday
Clocks fell back at 2 a.m. and Jacksonville wakes to 70 degrees under cloud, a Sunday high near 76 with a 20 percent rain chance — before Monday turns wetter, with a 51 percent chance and rain chances lingering into midweek.
Jacksonville's Sunday starts an hour earlier than Saturday did. Daylight saving time ended at 2 a.m., clocks fell back to standard time, and the station's live feed read 69.9 degrees under overcast skies in the overnight hours, with a feels-like temperature of 73.1 — a mild, grey start to the first day of Kids Free November, the final day of early voting and Jaguars game day at EverBank Stadium.
The day itself stays mostly dry. The feed puts Sunday's high at 76.4 degrees and the low at 69.8, with a 20 percent precipitation chance — drizzle is the code for the day, not a washout. For the 1 p.m. Colts-Jaguars kickoff and the 9-to-5 early voting hours, the practical read is warm and cloudy with only a small chance of a passing shower.
Monday is the turn. The feed gives Monday a high of 75.6 degrees with a 51 percent precipitation chance — the wettest day of the week ahead — and the rain chance stays present behind it: 39 percent on Tuesday as temperatures climb back to 82.2, and a thunderstorm code on Wednesday with a high of 82.4 and a 25 percent chance. Thursday stays warm at 84 with a 9 percent chance before a clear, cooler Friday — sunny, 81 for a high and down to 64.4 at night — and a dry Saturday at 79.3.
The pattern, in one line: a soft, cloudy Sunday for everything Jacksonville has scheduled today, a genuinely wet Monday on ground the king tides have kept saturated, and then a warm, unsettled midweek that dries out by Friday. Riverfront and low-lying roads that held water this week deserve the same caution on Monday they got on Saturday.
