Dramatic temperature drop, breezy and refreshing weather returns

Dramatic change in temperatures following long hot strech

Jacksonville, Fl — Refreshing air has returned with a cool wind off of the Atlantic Ocean today.

Action News Jax Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh is tracking a surge of northeasterly winds that will be strong at times with gusts as strong as 30 mph.

We’ll be sunny and much cooler with temperatures in the low 70s inland and upper 60s along the coast. This follows a record tying 89 degrees on Tuesday and a long stretch of unseasonably warm temperatures.

Thursday will be mostly sunny with temperatures in the lower to mid 70s and still breezy but not as windy.

Friday is our one chance for rain, as showers will develop late in the afternoon and evening. Timing may impact late second round play at THE PLAYERS. But rain won’t be an issue for this year’s event.

Saturday and Sunday look beautiful with temperatures comfortably mild in the low 70s both days. Low humidity and sunny skies.

Next week is spring break for many local schools and it’s looking wet at times on Monday with increasing clouds and afternoon showers. Temperatures on Monday will be in the upper 70s.

Tuesday looks cooler with morning lows in the 40s and highs only in the 60s.
