JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tracking a dry morning commute for most of Jacksonville.
- A few morning showers are possible along the coast as onshore winds increase.
- Highs today will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s inland and 80s along the coast.
- Moderate rip current risk at local beaches.
- Scattered showers and storms will develop between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. this afternoon, primarily inland.
- Heavy rain and lightning are the primary threats.
- A few showers are possible along the coast tomorrow morning.
- Showers and storms will continue to develop and spread inland through the afternoon on Friday.
- Highs will remain in the upper 80s through the weekend.
TROPICS:
- (1) tropical storm “Dexter” is over the open N. Atlantic with no impact to land areas & will soon become a strong ocean storm.
- (2) low pressure is forecast to develop east & northeast of Jacksonville by Friday then move north/northwest toward the Carolina’s over the weekend then turn more northeast away from the coast. It doesn’t appear this will be a strong system but will produce rip currents at the beaches & pockets of heavy rain – especially for the Carolina’s to Virginia.
- (3) a tropical wave over the far East Atlantic has long term potential while moving some semblance of west.
- (4) Another wave will emerge off the coast of Africa & has long term potential. A long way out but something to carefully track over the next 10-14 days.
