First Alert Weather: A few more weekend storms and slightly cooler temps

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the forecast:

  • Locally heavy storms have dropped some rain across NE FL
  • Rain has pivoted up from I-75 all the way toward the beaches
  • Rain amounts haven’t been too high, mostly below 0.5″
  • SE GA will be the spot to watch for storm development before sunset
  • Storms will return Sunday but they look more isolated/widely scattered
  • Monday stays on the drier side before we see better rain coverage the rest of the week
  • The sea breeze each day will be the main storm trigger near I-95 & the St. Johns River
  • Temps trend closer to average in the lower 90s each afternoon
  • It will still be hot...just not quite as hot as it was last week

TROPICS

  • There are a few areas to watch
  • A tropical wave is way ou there off the coast of Portugal, not a concern
  • Another tropical wave is SE of Bermuda, also not a concern
  • A strong tropical wave is about to move off Africa
  • Long-range forecast models show this system developing
  • The long-term track keeps this system out to sea
  • We’ll watch it all carefully, but despite the areas to watch, there’s no concern
