JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the forecast:
- It’s a hot & humid day with sunshine over most
- A few storms are going in a big circle around Jax but not in the Metro itself
- Rain & storms will focus near & south of I-10 the next few hours
- Especially near & east of Hwy 301
- Rain coverage looks even less on Sunday while it stays very hot
- Feels like temps Sunday & Monday will be 100-105
- Rain & storms increase though on Monday
- Then onshore winds build in on Tuesday, breezing up thru Thursday
- We’ll see a high rip current risk at our beaches
- We’ll still have rain around each of those days
- With the onshore wind, we can’t rule out rain at the coast in the morning
- But the general trend for rain looks to be shifting inland each day
- An early look at July 4th shows a few storms, pushing inland, while it stays hot & humid

Tropics:
- NHC has highlighted an area to watch off the coast of NE FL/SE GA in the Western Atlantic
- Showers & storms will drift down from the Carolinas into the ocean
- Low pressure could then form along a nearby frontal boundary
- I do NOT expect significant tropical development with this system
- We’ll see the onshore wind & rough beaches here locally as detailed above
- If a named storm develops, it will be “Bertha”
