FIRST ALERT WEATHER: A few heavy showers as a tropical low moves south of Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — We are tracking the potential for a few coastal showers this morning that will spread a bit inland.

• A area of low pressure continues to spin abut 150 miles southeast of JAX Beach.
• The low will likely move WNW through the morning and afternoon as it crosses Florida.
• The center of the low may in fact move near or just across our southern TV viewing area (Putnam/Southern St. Johns to Southern Columbia counties).
• Limited/few impacts: locally heavy rainfall and a moderate rip current risk.
• Wind gusts may pick up to 20+ mph this afternoon.
• Localized flooding is possible with any slow moving downpours well south of Jacksonville.
• Highs near 90 degrees today. Feels like temperatures of 100.
• This low then drifts into the NE Gulf with some possibility of developing into a tropical system
• This pattern will help guide showers & storms farther inland each day
• The heaviest rain will be between I-75 and the Gulf Coast
• A few afternoon showers/storms continue, especially inland, for the rest of the week.

TROPICS

• The First Alert Weather Team is tracking low pressure in the Atlantic that will cross Florida today and may develop in the NE Gulf later this week.
