FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY: Extreme heat alert over the next few days

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Action News Jax First Alert Weather Team has declared a First Alert Weather Day due to dangerously high temperatures and intense heat in our area.

Notes from the First Alert Weather Team:

  • Sunday morning is warm with temperatures near 80 degrees. 
  • Sunday will be very hot with many inland locations reaching the century mark. A sea breeze will keep the beaches slightly cooler. 
  • Feels like temperatures will soar to 108-112° Sunday, and a heat advisory is in effect for the entire area. There will be no relief from rain.
  • Monday has the potential to be even hotter with temperatures a degree or two warmer inland, and feels like temperatures closer to 115°F. An Extreme Heat Watch is in effect for our entire area Monday (this may be upgraded to a warning by later Sunday).
  • Tuesday is trending hotter with more moisture shifting back into the region. Our “feels like” forecast has increased to be near 115°F again for Tuesday, and another Extreme Heat Watch could be issued.
  • Rain chances increase Tuesday through Saturday, but many days still appear to be isolated with coverage. 

TROPICS:

  • No active storms and no areas of concern for now.
