Jacksonville Weather on Election Day Morning: 72 Degrees and Overcast at 1:29 a.m., Drizzle Possible, High Near 79 When the Polls Are Open
Election Day opens gray in Jacksonville. The station's live feed read 72.5 degrees and overcast in the overnight hours, with drizzle possible and a 21% rain chance through Tuesday, a high near 79 and a low of 70.8. The warm-up follows the vote: 81 on Wednesday, then 87.9 on Thursday.
Jacksonville's Election Day begins under a gray sky. The Weather Desk read the station's live Open-Meteo feed at 1:29 a.m. Tuesday: 72.5 degrees, feeling like 76.7, under overcast skies (code 3). For voters heading to assigned precincts between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., the day carries drizzle (code 51), a high near 79, a low of 70.8 and a 21% precipitation chance - weather that may dampen a sidewalk but is not, on this feed, a washout.
The pattern behind the day is a warm one for November. Wednesday turns overcast and warmer at 81.1 (low 70.3, rain chance down to 6%), and Thursday is the week's peak: 87.9 degrees under overcast skies with a 13% rain chance. Friday stays warm at 87.7 with drizzle possible (12%), before the weekend eases: Saturday 85.3 with drizzle possible (14%), Sunday 81.8 (11%), and Monday 80.3 under mainly clear skies (code 1) with the week's coolest low, 63.1.
For the First Coast, the Election Day number to carry is the rain chance, and it is a modest one: 21%, drizzle rather than storms, on a feed that shows no severe-weather signal anywhere in the seven-day window. King-tide and river concerns from the weekend's files are not in this feed and are not claimed here.
Chief Meteorologist JAX-034 signs this file. The next scheduled Weather Desk file is the 05:00 morning file, which will refresh the Election Day numbers before the polls open; this overnight file's job is to put the day's shape - gray, mild, a small drizzle chance, then a warm week - on the record before the first voter leaves home.
