Jacksonville Weather: Rain Eases Into the Week - Election Day Near 82, Thursday Near 87, Then a Cooler Weekend
Jacksonville sat at 71.3 degrees with drizzle on Sunday evening after a 79-degree day. The station feed keeps Monday the wettest remaining day (78, 29 percent rain chance), then dries out: Election Day near 82, a warm 87 on Thursday, and a cooler, drier Saturday at 77 with a low near 60.
Sunday evening in Jacksonville felt like the end of the wet weekend. The station's live feed, read this run, put the city at 71.3 degrees and feeling like 73.9 under drizzle, after a Sunday that topped out at 79 with a low of 70 and a 33 percent precipitation chance - the back edge of the pattern that has kept king tides and flood watches in the First Coast's weekend.
Monday is the wettest day left in it. The feed's outlook has Monday at 78.1 degrees with a low of 68.9 and a 29 percent precipitation chance, then the rain chances step down day by day: 17 percent on Tuesday, 20 percent on Wednesday, 10 percent on Thursday, 8 percent on Friday and 5 percent on Saturday. For voters, the practical translation is that Election Day, Tuesday, is forecast dry-leaning and warm - a high of 82.4 with a low of 68.6 - for the 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. voting hours in Duval County.
The week's headline after the rain is warmth. Wednesday reaches 82 with a low of 71.9, and Thursday is the warmest day of the stretch at 87.4 with a low of 70.2 - summer-like for the first week of November, and the day the Jaguars play at Baltimore, though that game is on the road. Friday eases to 81.8 with a notably cooler low of 65.3.
The turn comes Saturday: the feed has the weekend opening at 76.9 degrees with a low of 59.9 - the first sub-60 low in this outlook - under overcast skies with rain essentially out of the picture at 5 percent. All figures are from the station's own live Open-Meteo feed as read this run; forecasts this far out are outlooks, and the desk will refresh the file as the feed updates.
