Forecast Jacksonville is the definitive portal for the First Coast's weather and climate — built to make the official National Weather Service forecast fast, clean, and highway-clear across nine counties and two states, from Fernandina Beach and downtown Jacksonville out to Macclenny and Palatka, south to Saint Augustine and Palm Coast, and north across the St. Marys River to Kingsland and Brunswick.
Jacksonville sits where the Atlantic, a north-flowing river and the Georgia line all meet, and its weather comes from that geometry. Hurricanes do their damage here without making landfall — Matthew in 2016 and Irma in 2017 both stayed offshore and still set the flood records downtown, because a surge pushes the St. Johns backwards. Sea breezes collide over the city every summer afternoon. Winter reaches further down here than anywhere else on the peninsula, and a hard freeze in Baker County is an ordinary January. Forecast Jacksonville is being built to tell that story — county by county, corridor by corridor.
The look borrows from the American Interstate system — the reflective paper, the green guide signs, the blue service signs, the brown recreation signs, and the red-white-and-blue route shields — set in Overpass, the typeface drawn from the Highway Gothic lettering on those signs. As a metro site its hero is the nine-county grid, in a Main Street Bridge blue accent for the lift bridge over the St. Johns, on river blue — its own note in the network.
Forecast Jacksonville is the metro zoom-in for Forecast Florida. The two are companions — the city and the state — alongside Forecast Orlando down I-95 and Forecast Miami on the Gold Coast, with Forecast Georgia picking up north of the St. Marys River. All are part of the wider Forecast network.
