First Alert Weather: Afternoon storms continue, plus an eye on the tropics

The First Alert Weather Team is tracking continuing scattered storms, especially inland this evening, before things turn partly cloudy.

Notes from the meteorologist:

  • Afternoon storms will erupt across much of the area Wed. & again Thu. with locally heavy downpours, gusty winds & a good amount of lightning.
  • Storms become more widely scattered for the 4th of July through the weekend.
  • Otherwise, seasonally hot temps. can be expected with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s & lows 70-75.

INTERACTIVE RADAR: Keep track of the rain as it moves through your neighborhood

TROPICS: Still a yellow (low chance) shading over & near Florida for tropical development. The First Alert Weather Team remains unimpressed with any local impacts. IF low pressure does develop, the most likely scenario seems to point to a low northeast of Jacksonville moving away from the local area. Always more: “Talking the Tropics With Mike”.
