JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the forecast:
- Warm and muggy overnight lows in the 70s to low 80s.
- Haze will continue thanks to a stagnant area of high pressure overhead and some smoke in the upper levels of the atmosphere from wildfires in the NW U.S. and Canada.
- Wednesday will be another hot day but with much better chances for late day and evening thunderstorms.
- Storms will move southeast between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. with strong winds, very heavy rain, and intense lightning.
- A few afternoon storms will occur Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid 90s then another increase in afternoon storms over the weekend with typical early August highs in the lower 90s.
