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

  • This afternoon, we are tracking the upper 80s well inland and the lower 80s at the coast. 
  • The Players concert tonight will be dry and mild in the 70s. 
  • We could see our first 90-degree day of the year in Jacksonville tomorrow. 
  • Highs will be in the lower 80s along the coast before a sea breeze moves inland.
  • A cold front will sweep across our area Thursday afternoon and slow down to our south Friday. This front will bring showers and a few storms to the area Thursday (morning/midday in Georgia, afternoon/evening in Florida). 
  • The front’s slow departure on Friday, combined with onshore winds, will keep a chance of coastal showers in the forecast Friday. 
  • We will briefly dry out on Saturday before additional showers develop Sunday into Monday.
  • Watching Thursday, Friday, and Sunday for some showers at THE PLAYERS.
  • Rain totals will average 0.5-1″ over the next 7 days, helping slightly with ongoing drought conditions.
  • Big cool down arrives Tuesday of next week.
