The First Alert Weather Team says to keep an umbrella nearby as rain blows through the area. A “local nor’easter” will howl now all the way through the weekend.
Notes from the meteorologist:
- A “local nor’easter” will howl now all the way through the weekend.
- Expect bands of heavy rain at times and gusty winds. Rain will be heaviest closer to the coast, with as much as
- 2-4”, locally
- 5”+ from I-95 to the beaches
- 1-3” Highway 301 to I-95
- and generally an inch or less, locally 1-2” west of Highway 301.
- Poor beach conditions with wind gusts of 30+ mph, rough seas and surf, a high rip current risk and some beach erosion.
- Some flooding will occur at times of high tide for the beaches, intracoastal, St. Johns River and its tributaries.
- Temperatures will remain mild but with high humidity. Highs will be in the low 80s with lows in the low 70s.
