Jacksonville Forecast: Warm Weekend Ahead

Jacksonville residents will experience a warm and mostly dry weekend, with highs expected in the mid-80s to near 90 degrees. Humidity will increase, contributing to the summerlike feel.

Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible each day, particularly during the midday and afternoon hours. Those outdoors should monitor for lightning and wait 30 minutes after the last thunder before resuming activities.

Saturday will feature partly sunny skies with a chance for a widely scattered shower or isolated thunderstorm. The high temperature will reach 87 degrees, with an overnight low of 73.

Sunday's forecast mirrors Saturday's pattern: partly sunny conditions with a few showers developing, and an afternoon thunderstorm is possible. The high will again be around 87 degrees.

The workweek begins with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected Monday through mid-week. High temperatures will remain warm, reaching the upper 80s to low 90s.

By Thursday and Friday, shower chances will decrease to isolated occurrences, with highs in the mid-to-upper 80s.

Separately, a high rip current risk will persist at area beaches throughout the weekend.

In the tropics, low pressure over the far northeastern Atlantic, south of the Azores, has the potential to develop into a tropical system. Forecasters do not anticipate any impact on the Atlantic coast. The next storm name on the list is Fay.
