Warm weather Wednesday before stormy Thursday

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Action News Jax’s First Alert Weather Team says it will be warm Wednesday before storms move in on Thursday.

First Alert Meteorologist Trevor Gibbs says that temperatures will rise from the 60s Wednesday morning into the mid-80s in the afternoon with dry weather and partly cloudy skies.

A cold front will push a broken line of storms and heavy rain through the area Thursday. The rain will begin across far inland communities like Waycross and Lake City before sunrise and will likely reach Jacksonville through the mid-morning. It will push offshore during the afternoon.
