FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Hot first week of fall ahead

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Sunday will be warm and breezy with highs near 88, mostly dry skies, and a slight chance of a brief shower in St. Johns or Putnam counties.

Notes from the First Alert Weather Team:

  • Temperatures on Sunday morning are in the 60s and 70s and will rise into the mid-80s to low 90s in the afternoon. 
  • A mainly dry day is expected, but a brief shower can’t be ruled out for St. Johns/Putnam counties. 
  • The Jaguars game will be dry and hot, with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 80s under plenty of sun. 
  • Sunday night will be mild with 60s inland and 70s toward the coast.
  • Fall begins Monday, and temperatures will be in the upper 80s under partly to mostly cloudy skies. A few showers are possible on Monday, but it won’t amount to much.
  • Increasing heat Tuesday-Friday with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s, several degrees warmer than average. 
  • A cold front will approach the region late in the week/early weekend with a chance of showers and storms.

TROPICS:

  • Gabrielle is likely to become a hurricane on Sunday, but it will pass east of Bermuda as it makes a sharp turn to the east over the open ocean. No local impacts.
  • Elsewhere, a tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic will bear watching, but it is very far away.
