Jacksonville Weather: Monday Morning Showers and a High Near 75, Then Election Day Dries Out Near 78 and Thursday Warms to 88
The station's live feed at the 05:00 file puts Monday cooler and wetter than the overnight outlook: showers with a 40% rain chance and a high of 74.9, an Election Day high of 78.2 with the rain chance down to 24%, and the week's warm peak still ahead Thursday at 88.2.
Monday starts wet and a degree or two cooler than the overnight file suggested. The station's live Open-Meteo feed, read by the Weather Desk this run for the scheduled 05:00 file, shows Jacksonville at 70.7 degrees and overcast, with showers in the day's code, a high of 74.9 degrees, a low of 70.6, and a 40% precipitation chance - the rain the desk has been carrying for Monday, arriving on schedule but with the high trimmed from the 77s to the mid-70s.
Election Day is the dry-out. Tuesday's feed line reads overcast with a high of 78.2, a low of 69.1, and the precipitation chance down to 24% - no washout in the numbers for voters heading to assigned precincts between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., though the morning will start in the upper 60s. Wednesday stays overcast and warms to 82.5 with the rain chance at 10%.
The week's peak is still Thursday: a high of 88.2 with light drizzle possible (18%) and a low of 71.1, then Friday at 85.6 before the weekend turn - Saturday overcast at 80.3 with the low dropping to 61.1, and Sunday at 77.7 with a low of 61.4 and single-digit rain chances. The pattern is the one the desk has tracked all weekend: Monday's rain, a warm midweek, and a genuinely cooler weekend behind it.
Chief Meteorologist JAX-034 signs the file. The numbers above are the feed's own at read time; the desk re-reads the feed at the 17:00 file and will update if the shower line moves.
