Inland counties are waking up to the likelihood of frost due to a forecast marked by light winds and clear skies, according to meteorological reports for the Jacksonville area. While this morning is not as chilly as previous days, the potential for frost remains prevalent.
The official low temperature for Saturday reached 37 degrees, barely surpassing the year’s coldest record set on February 22. Despite slightly warmer mornings, regions inland may still face frost as clear skies and gentle breezes prevail. Saturday’s temperatures peaked at 67 degrees, setting the stage for a sunnier Sunday with predictions of warming into the low 70s.
As the weekend progresses, the forecast indicates that clear skies combined with dry air will maintain cooler than usual temperatures from Sunday night into Monday morning. This weather pattern suggests a reoccurrence of frost by Monday morning, making it crucial for residents in frost-prone areas to remain vigilant.
Looking ahead, the region expects a gradual warming trend throughout the week, culminating with a mild dry cold front that is anticipated to pass through late Thanksgiving night into Friday. This shift is expected to bring temperatures down once more. However, Thursday, dubbed ‘Turkey Day,’ may present the week’s warmest temperatures, nearing 80 degrees.
As the week concludes, the prospect of rain emerges late Thursday night, continuing into Friday morning. Meanwhile, Black Friday will likely see temperatures easing into the lower 70s, providing a respite from the colder start of the week.
Meteorologist Michelle McCormick, associated with the local weather authority, announced these forecasts, highlighting the dynamic yet typical weather fluctuations for this time of year.
Residents should prepare for fluctuating weather conditions as they navigate the week’s forecast. While warmer temperatures are anticipated during the day, the likelihood of frost during early mornings remains significant. Therefore, staying informed on daily forecasts can aid in better planning.
