The weekend is expected to have morning temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s and afternoons in the upper 80s. The humidity shouldn’t be too high either.
As for the tropics, the First Alert Meteorologists are tracking Tropical Storm Idalia as it moves off the Carolina coastline this morning. They are also continuing to track Hurricane Franklin in the Western Atlantic, just north of Bermuda. Franklin is expected to head northeast as a hurricane and away from any land.
Tropical Storm Jose, previously Tropical Depression #11, is in the Central Atlantic and shouldn’t last long. There is also an area just west of Jose that most likely won’t develop today, and there is a tropical wave off the west coast of Africa that may develop into a tropical depression over the next few days as it moves northeast.
Action News Jax’s First Alert Weather Team will continue to track the tropics throughout the day and update you accordingly.
