Jacksonville woke up to clear skies and about 70°F early Sunday, with inland neighborhoods already running warmer. Highs are on track to climb to near 88°F this afternoon under partly sunny skies, with only a slight chance of a shower after 5 p.m., mainly inland. As a weak cold front slips through later in the day, winds will shift and temperatures should slide back into the low 80s by late afternoon.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
Winds will not stay calm for long. Light west to northwest breezes this morning are expected to crank up by midday and into the afternoon. Routine gusts around 15–20 mph are on tap for many spots, with a few stronger gusts possible near the coast and along the frontal boundary. Inland neighborhoods will squeeze out the warmest readings before the front knocks temperatures down a few degrees late in the day.
