First Alert Weather: A warm TGIF before a slightly cooler & breezy weekend

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The First Alert Weather Team is tracking a very warm Friday with plenty of sun and highs near 90 degrees and the low 80s at the beaches.

We go back to “local nor’easter” conditions – though not as strong as the last couple nor’easters - over the weekend into early next week. That entails gusty winds off the ocean (out of the northeast) and enough moisture for a few brief showers at times, especially from about I-95 to the beaches. Still, there will also be plenty of dry hours.

Weekend highs will fall to the upper 70s to low 80s at the beaches with a high rip current risk to the mid-80s inland.

Tropics

  • Tropical Storm Gabrielle continues over the Central Atlantic and should find a more favorable area for strengthening over the weekend into early next week while approaching Bermuda as the storm turns north well out to sea.
  • No impacts to the U.S.
  • A couple of additional waves are coming off the coast of Africa & have some potential to slowly develop but are a long, long way out.
  • Always more: “Talking the Tropics With Mike.”
