Cooler temperatures kick off the day<\/p>\n
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 Good morning, Jacksonville! I\u2019m Katie Garner from The Weather Authority, and today is starting off with a refreshing change. That cold front that came through yesterday has really helped bring some more seasonable air to our area.<\/p>\n Right now, we\u2019re sitting at about 55 degrees. There\u2019s a definite chill when you step outside, and you\u2019ll notice it especially with the breeze in the air.<\/p>\n For parents getting the kids ready for school, it\u2019s a chilly 57 degrees around 7 a.m. But don\u2019t worry\u2014by 3 p.m., we\u2019re expecting temperatures to warm up to about 75 degrees. It\u2019s shaping up to be a great day.<\/p>\n Breezy winds and dry skies<\/p>\n Along with the cooler air, I\u2019m seeing some breezy conditions\u2014especially along the coast, where wind speeds are expected to reach into the 20s. Further inland, breezes should be in the teens, so everyone will feel that wind today.<\/p>\n Thanks to that high pressure system lingering overhead and the dry air left behind by the cold front, we\u2019re in for another dry day. That means the Exact Track 4D radar is keeping quiet for now.<\/p>\n Rain expected to return soon<\/p>\n That dry spell won\u2019t last all week. There is rain in the forecast, and it could impact local events like the Players Tournament. While I\u2019ll have more details coming up soon, it\u2019s a good idea to keep an umbrella handy.<\/p>\n
