JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — RIGHT NOW: Partly sunny with temperatures in the 80s with an isolated brief shower in St. Johns/Putnam counties.

TROPICS: Low pressure over the far NE Atlantic south of the Azores may develop into a tropical system but no impact on this side of the Atlantic. 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). Always more: “Talking the Tropics With Mike”.

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

  • Higher humidity will return over the weekend along with high temperatures in the mid 80s to near 90, so summer-like for the last weekend of summer as autumn arrives Tuesday. 
  • There will be a few showers and isolated storms each day, but plenty of dry hours too. 
  • Keep an eye out for any lightning, waiting at least 30 minutes after the last thunder before going back outside.
  • A high rip current risk will continue at area beaches.
  • There will be scattered showers and storms to start the new workweek continuing through mid-week.
