Near-record highs possible this week with limited rain chances

Dense fog expected to impact the morning commute on Monday

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Patchy fog will develop once again tonight and could be dense in some spots. Make sure to plan extra travel time if you are traveling early Monday morning.

Dense fog will be possible on Monday.

Otherwise, the fog will lift and give way to a mix of sun and clouds. It will be warm with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s.

Monday's high temperatures.

In fact, we could set a new record high temperature for the day at Jacksonville International Airport. Sunday’s record high temperature is 88 in 2024. Fog will redevelop Monday night and could be dense.

High temperatures over the next few days.

High pressure will remain in control through Wednesday, and near-record high temperatures will be possible as well. It will also be slightly humid. Rain coverage looks minimal through the middle of the week with only an isolated shower or storm possible each day.

Rain chances will increase on Thursday as a stronger front moves across our area. This front will bring a brief cooldown into the region later this week. We will certainly take any rain that we can get as our area is in a drought.

The latest drought monitor.

Speaking of the drought, the latest drought monitor reflects the overall pattern over the past few months. The area of “extreme” drought continues has now expanded to include all of our area. Little if any improvement is expected over the upcoming week.
