Jacksonville experiences notable weather changes with the arrival of a cold front.
Jacksonville experiences a dramatic weather change this month, with temperatures dropping significantly due to a cold front after evening storms. An unofficial low of 27 degrees was recorded, marking the coldest day of 2025. Fortunately, warmer temperatures are expected today, reaching the mid-70s, perfect for outdoor activities. Residents can anticipate sunshine and more mild weather over the weekend, although a dry cold front is expected next week. Despite the chilling fluctuations, residents are encouraged to enjoy local events and prepare for some upcoming warmer days.
Jacksonville has been experiencing quite a weather rollercoaster this month, with fluctuations that have left residents on their toes. Following some evening storms, a cold front has rolled in, bringing with it a notable temperature drop of 5-10 degrees. The mercury has dipped low enough to raise eyebrows; in fact, an unofficial low of 27 degrees was recorded on Sunday morning, marking it as the coldest day of 2025!
But don’t put away your shorts just yet! Today’s looking up, with rapid warming forecasted. By this afternoon, temperatures are expected to climb into the mid-70s under mostly sunny skies. For those itching to get outdoors, it’s a perfect opportunity to take part in fun activities around town. You can check out the Clay County Agricultural Fair or catch a game featuring the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. Sounds like a blast, right?
Be prepared for some breezy conditions this afternoon, too, with Northwestern winds creating a bit of a windchill out there. So, while you’re out enjoying the sunshine, don’t forget to hold onto your hats!
Looking ahead to the weekend, the forecast remains bright and sunny, with temperatures edging back towards the 80s. If you’re making weekend plans, rest assured, the good weather should make for a fantastic time. However, as the week progresses, a dry cold front is anticipated to return temperatures to more seasonal averages by mid-week. Changes are coming, so stay alert!
This chilly weather hasn’t come without its own set of records. Since January 1, Jacksonville International Airport recorded eight days at or below freezing, a bit unusual for this time of year. Some of the most freezing days this month include:
As we approach the beginning of a new workweek, highs are expected to be in the mid-to-upper 50s while overnight lows hover around the mid-to-upper 30s and 40s. Rain from the Gulf of Mexico is anticipated to arrive shortly, but it appears temperatures will stay above the freezing point, sparing us from any wintery surprises on Monday morning.
On an interesting note, the National Hurricane Center is currently monitoring a low-pressure system in the Southwestern Caribbean Sea that has a 40% chance of evolving into a tropical cyclone within the next week. Thankfully, models suggest this system is likely to drift away from the Gulf of Mexico and Florida, with the next tropical storm predicted to be named Patty. Is it just me, or does it feel like hurricane season is never too far off?
As we near the middle of February, expect a cold week ahead, but not to worry—there’s light at the end of the tunnel. A warm break is expected later in the week, with temperatures once again flirting with the 70s by Friday. After all this up and down, a warm day could feel like the best gift ever!
So Jacksonville, hang in there! Prepare for some chilly temps, bright sunny days, and the fun activities that await you. No matter the weather, there’s always something to enjoy!
