JACKSONVILLE, FL — If you’ve been enjoying the warm, sunny weather, make the most of it while you can—because big changes are on the way. Jacksonville is in for a beautiful weekend, but a midweek storm system could bring heavy rain, strong winds, and possibly severe weather.
A Perfect Weekend to Get Outside
Saturday and Sunday will be ideal for outdoor plans, with plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures. Highs will reach around 78 degrees today, dipping to a cooler but still pleasant 68 degrees on Sunday. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to go for a walk, visit the beach, or fire up the grill, this is it.
But don’t let the nice weather fool you—things will take a turn by midweek.
Midweek Storms Could Get Serious
By Wednesday, March 5, a strong storm system is expected to push through the region, bringing a real chance for severe weather. Forecasts show:
- Increasing clouds and gusty winds throughout the day
- Afternoon and evening storms that could bring flash flooding, damaging winds, and even the potential for tornadoes
- A warm and humid high of 81 degrees before the storms arrive
What You Need to Know
