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

  • This afternoon is very warm with temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s well inland.
    • 80s and 70s along the sand of the beaches
  • Tomorrow morning will be in the 60s under partly cloudy skies.
  • A cold front will pass through our area on Thursday with showers and a few thunderstorms. Rain will move first across SE GA in the morning, then NE FL in the afternoon. Some weather delays are possible at THE PLAYERS briefly in the afternoon.
    • Arrival timing - Waycross: 9 AM - 11 am.... JAX: 1 pm - 3 pm... TPC Sawgrass: 2-4 pm... St. Augustine: 3 - 5 pm.
    • Rain totals on Thursday will average 0.25-0.50″, with isolated higher amounts in any thunderstorms. 
    • Gusty winds: SW 10-20+ mph.
  • The front will move far enough south of our area to dry us out by Friday and Saturday.
  • On Sunday, the chance for scattered showers returns with abundant cloud cover. A soggy finish to THE PLAYERS is looking more likely. 
  • Oak, pine, and cedar pollen have soared over the last 72 hours. Several rounds of rain over the next week should help.
  • A brief but significant cooldown is coming next week.
