Jacksonville Weather Evening Update: 72 and Overcast, Election Day at 80, Friday the Warmest Day at 88 — Then Sunday Drops to 70
Jacksonville sits at 71.8 degrees and overcast on Election Day eve, with Tuesday's high at 80 and its rain chance at 16 percent on the station's live feed. The week's peak has moved to Friday at 88, Saturday stays warm at 86, and the cool air now arrives Sunday - a high of 70 and a low of 59.
The evening numbers are in, and they rearrange the week's back half. Jacksonville is 71.8 degrees, feeling like 75.6, under overcast skies on the station's live Open-Meteo feed at the 17:29 check, with Monday closing at a high of 76.9, a low of 70.7 and a 40 percent precipitation chance on the day. Election Day itself is unchanged at the top - a high of 80 with a low of 70.2 - but its rain chance has ticked up to 16 percent, with light drizzle (code 51) the feed's call for Tuesday.
Wednesday runs 82.5 and overcast with a 13 percent chance, and Thursday holds at 87.4 with a 14 percent chance - but Thursday is no longer the week's peak. Friday now tops the week at 88 degrees, with drizzle possible (code 53) and an 18 percent precipitation chance, the warmest single day in the current run of the feed.
The weekend correction is the evening file's real news. Saturday, which earlier files had cooling, now stays warm at 86.3 with just a 5 percent rain chance - and the cool-down lands a day later instead: Sunday drops to a high of 70.3 and a low of 59.3, the first sub-60 low in this stretch, with drizzle (code 51) and a 7 percent chance.
For Tuesday's voters the practical line is simple: warm and mostly dry at the polls, 80 by afternoon, a one-in-six rain chance and no washout in the feed. The Weather Desk's next file follows the morning numbers; the east-central Florida flood emergency is a separate state story (SQ-20261102-059) and does not touch the First Coast forecast.
