Jacksonville residents, don’t let the morning fog fool you! After a hazy start, temperatures will climb rapidly, possibly approaching near-record highs of 82°F (28°C) this afternoon. With partly sunny skies and warm breezes, today’s weather is perfect for outdoor activities—but don’t forget to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun.
What’s Happening Today:
Morning fog will blanket parts of the city early, reducing visibility for commuters. As the fog clears, sunshine will take over, and temperatures will soar. The high is expected to reach 82°F (28°C), and tonight, temperatures will cool to a comfortable 61°F (16°C) under clear skies.
Weekend Weather Outlook:
- Saturday: Pleasant with intervals of clouds and sun. Highs around 74°F (23°C) and lows near 50°F (10°C).
- Sunday: Warm and partly sunny, with a high of 77°F (25°C) and a low of 54°F (12°C).
Why This Warm Weather Matters:
With temperatures approaching near-record highs, outdoor conditions could feel more like spring than winter. Combined with high UV exposure, today’s warm air may lead to dehydration and fatigue for those spending extended periods outside.
How to Stay Safe and Enjoy the Warmth:
- Drive Cautiously in Fog: Reduced visibility during the morning commute could create delays, so drive slowly and use low-beam headlights.
- Wear Sun Protection: UV levels can be significant with clear skies, so apply sunscreen and wear sunglasses and hats.
- Stay Hydrated: The warm temperatures can lead to dehydration—keep water with you, especially if you’re active outdoors.
Jacksonville’s unseasonably warm day is an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, but be sure to take the necessary precautions. Whether you’re heading to the beach or a local park, make the most of the sunshine
