Jacksonville, Fl — We hope you enjoyed the gorgeous spring weather this week, as our dry streak will end. Action News Jax Meteorologist Garrett Bedenbaugh says a pattern change will turn to cloudy skies and multiple rain chances today through Monday.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will arrive as early as this afternoon and possibly linger into the evening hours.
“Locally heavy rain the main threat with a few embedded lightning strikes and even a gusty wind with highs reaching the low to mid 80s today. So we’ll have some heating despite the cloud cover. But we’re not expecting widespread severe weather today”, Bedenbaugh said.
