Jacksonville braces for scorching heat index and weekend storms: What to expect
ForecastRainStorm Chances

Jacksonville is in for extreme heat with feels-like temperatures reaching 100 to 105 degrees, alongside an increased chance of afternoon showers and storms through the weekend. No immediate tropical threats expected, but rain may bring drought relief.

– Hey, Jacksonville! The heat is on and it’s sticking around for the next several days. We’re looking at high temperatures soaring to 95 today, and you can count on more of the same through Monday.

Overnight doesn’t offer much relief, with lows only dipping to about 77. The feels-like temperatures are expected to get as high as 100 to 105, especially between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. each day. These are dangerous numbers, so please be extra careful—bring pets inside or find ways to keep everyone cool during that afternoon stretch. By next Wednesday, we’re forecast to briefly dip into the 80s, but trust me, that’s just for one day before the 90s return.

So, make sure you’re prepared for this ongoing heatwave. This weekend is shaping up to be a big one for pop-up afternoon showers and storms, with a 60 to 70 percent chance of rain both Saturday and Sunday. Using Exact Track 4D radar, I’m seeing that these storms could be heavy at times, though not everyone will get rain right when they want it.

We’ve been stuck in a summer-like pattern, and that means quick bursts of rain in different parts of town, especially each afternoon. I know rain over a weekend isn’t ideal, but we still desperately need it to help with the drought. If you plan to be outside, keep an eye on the weather and maybe pack an umbrella—just in case! Let’s take a quick look at the tropics.

Right now, there’s just a potential broad area of low pressure off the Bay of Campeche in the Atlantic. The chance for development is very low and it’s not expected to impact us here in Northeast Florida or South Georgia. This is just the first area we’re keeping an eye on for the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season—nothing to worry about at the moment, but we’ll keep you updated if things change.
