JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tracking a few morning showers/downpours in some coastal neighborhoods this morning.

• Highs today will be in the mid to upper 80s inland and mid 80s along the coast.
• Moderate to high rip current risk at local beaches today and through the weekend.
• Scattered showers and heavy downpours will continue to develop through the morning and gradually shift inland this afternoon.

TROPICS:

• (1) The last NHC advisory has been issued on “Dexter” – it’s now a large ocean storm with no impact on any land areas.
• (2) Low pressure is still forecast to develop offshore of the Carolina’s but will fairly quickly turn northeast moving away from the U.S. – no local impacts.
• (3) A tropical wave over the East Atlantic has long-term potential while moving west/northwest then turning more north over the Central Atlantic.
• (4) Another wave will emerge off the coast of Africa this weekend and has long term potential. A long way out but something to carefully track over the next 10-14 days.
