Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach and St. Augustine will hold multiple 2025 events to celebrate the civil rights legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Jacksonville celebrated the life and legacy of MLK ahead of the civil rights icon's official holiday Monday with a gala breakfast tribute Friday.

In the quiet, sandy streets near Jacksonville Beach, a towering 10-foot-wide house stands as a bold middle finger to the neighborhood.

At least one weather forecast shows there is a chance that Jacksonville could see some rain, snow or even ice next week. Here are the details.

A Florida woman was arrested for the death of her 2-year-old so, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. The boy died from a combined drug intoxication of fentanyl and xylazine, officials said.

A mom tested positive for fentanyl the same day her 2-year-old son died of a fentanyl and xylazine overdose, Florida authorities said. Melissa Rae Harper, 43, has now been charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced Jan. 17.

The National Weather Service and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast model are now in agreement as the chance of snow creeps to 50% in the Florida Panhandle on Tuesday.

All federal offices will be closed, as will state and local governments, schools, banks and the stock market, officially to celebrate the legacy of the slain civil rights leader. But most Jacksonville-area grocery stores, restaurants and retailers will be open on the holiday. And garbage collection will run as usual.

The National Weather Service in Jacksonville highlighted the probability for light freezing and temperatures lower than 32 degrees in parts of Northeastern Florida and Southeast Georgia later this week. Although there is potential for more freezing down in some areas, Jacksonville has a 0% chance of experiencing it, according to NWS Jacksonville.

Florida's been cold this January. Here’s what month it usually starts getting warm in Florida and what the hottest and coldest days on record are.

The Florida Panhandle could see a brief period of snow or ice next week, if the right conditions combine. Bottom line: Cold temps coming.

Like everything else, the cost of collecting trash has gone up since 2010. Jacksonville's garbage fee has not. We keep playing a farcical fiscal game.
