JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the First Alert Weather forecast:
- There have been some heavy showers & storms outside of the Metro this afternoon
- Lots of spots, though, haven’t and won’t see rain today
- Onshore winds continue Sunday, and again, there will be a few showers & storms
- The Jags’ home opener kicks off at 1 PM at Everbank Stadium
- I expect a few showers around Jax as early as 10 AM, lasting through about 2 PM

- Local nor’easter conditions take hold beginning on Monday through at least Wednesday
- Onshore winds gust up, we’ll see rough seas/surf, a high rip current risk, and some minor tidal flooding
