First Alert Weather: Lovely Valentine’s weather before it storms on Sunday

Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the First Alert Weather forecast:

  • It’s another sunny and nice day (if you can ignore the pollen)
  • Temperatures will cool after sunset this evening, but it will be relatively mild overnight
  • Sunday starts dry & breezy with a few clouds overhead
  • Temperatures will warm up to and above 80 degrees in spots near and south of I-10
  • A line of rain and storms pushes through the area during the day
  • The rain starts in SE GA around Noon and in Jax around 3-4 PM
  • Daytona Beach will be next in line with the leading edge of the rain pushing in after 5-6 PM
  • The strongest storms will be capable of damaging winds and a tornado or two
  • Wildfires will be a concern before the rain and also when lightning moves in with the afternoon storms
  • For all of these potential weather impacts, Sunday is a FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY
  • Rain totals will average around 0.5″ but there will be locally higher amounts
  • This storm system moves out as quickly as it moves in
  • The lightning and severe threat clears the area a little after sunset
  • There may be an isolated shower Sunday night and early Monday
  • But we clear the skies and cool a bit on Monday
  • Temps gradually warm through the week next week while we stay dry
  • The rain will be nice but it will barely dent the current drought
  • Wildfire danger & pollen remain top of mind all week long
