First Alert Weather: Gusty winds and lower humidity

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

  • The break from the high heat & humidity has arrived!  Lows tonight will fall to the upper 60s well inland… near 70 along the I-95 corridor… to the low 80s at the beaches.
  • Thursday will be partly sunny & mild with only an isolated shower moving off the ocean.  Gusty winds will continue with highs in the 80s.
  • The strong onshore flow is causing rough conditions at area beaches along with a high rip current risk.
  • Winds will subside some Friday but remain reasonably comfortable before high humidity returns over the weekend into early next week, helping to trigger on-and-off showers & scattered t’storms.

Tropics:

  • Weak low pressure may form over the Central Atlantic but no threat to any land areas. Next name: “Fay”. We continue to build on the record for the satellite era- since 1966 - of the deepest into the Atlantic hurricane season *without* a hurricane (was Sept. 11).
