First Alert Weather: Tracking a brief cool-down and a big warm-up after Sunday’s storms

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

  • It’s a rainy afternoon across NE Florida & SE Georgia
  • A TORNADO WATCH is in effect until 8 PM for the entire local area
  • The strongest storms today will be capable of damaging winds and a quick spin-up tornado
  • We’ve also seen several wildfires across the area today
  • Lightning during storms could spark a wildfire despite the beneficial rain falling
  • Some spots in SE GA where the rain is winding down this afternoon have seen 1+" of rain
  • Rain and storms won’t hang around long past sunset
  • Even still, an isolated shower or two will wrap around the back side of the storm system tonight
  • There may be some drizzle or an isolated shower early Monday
  • But Monday will see skies clear a bit and temps cool down a bit too
  • Then we warm up - we’ll be well into the 80s & near record highs mid to late week
  • It’s a dry and breezy week too, not good news for pollen sufferers or for wildfire danger
  • Long-range forecasts indicate a front moving into our area next weekend
  • This front should bring at least some rain - it may not be much - but we’ll be updating the forecast
