FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Much cooler Saturday with gusty winds developing

Windy, cloudy, cooler Saturday with some drizzle First Alert Meteorologist Trevor Gibbs is tracking big weather changes for Saturday.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Notes from the First Alert Weather team:

  • Temperatures Saturday morning are in the upper 50s to upper 60s under mostly clear skies.
  • A cold front positioned just north of our area as of 5 am is quickly moving southward. It will cross our region on Saturday.
  • Behind the front, strong onshore winds arrive with some gusts at the beaches above 40-45 mph. This will create very hazardous seas and surf.
  • The onshore winds will eventually usher in thick cloud cover all across the area. This will help lower temperatures in the afternoon into the 50s in some coastal locations.
  • Some drizzle or very light rain is possible in a few spots on Saturday.
  • Sunday will be windy again with mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures inland will be slightly warmer.
  • A warming trend returns into next week with highs eventually returning to the middle 80s.
  • Aside from an isolated afternoon shower here and there, it’ll be a mainly dry week.
