JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — This morning is chilly with temperatures in the 30s and 40s.

  • The wind remains elevated so it will feel a bit cooler than the actual air temperature as you head to work and school.
  • Very dry air is in place across our area. That, coupled with gust winds/dry soils/dry vegetation, will present a very high wildfire risk today.

  • Winds will be out of the northwest at 15-20 mph with higher gusts.
  • Any wildfire smoke will blow southeast today.

    • A few neighborhoods closer to the coast will see a light freeze as well.
