JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Saturday will be mostly cloudy and breezy with occasional showers, rough surf, and coastal flooding risks as offshore low pressure strengthens.
Notes from the First Alert Weather Team:
- Low pressure offshore will strengthen Saturday as it begins to move north toward the Carolinas. As this happens, our local area will continue to experience a variety of weather conditions, including strong gusty winds of 30-40 mph along the coast, higher high tides that will lead to coastal flooding, abundant cloud cover, and occasional light to moderate showers. Rain coverage and intensity will be less than on Friday.
- Seas and surf are still very rough, with wave heights approaching 10 feet at times. Spotty beach erosion will continue.
- Temperatures will not move much on Saturday, from the 60s in the morning to the 70s in the afternoon.
- Clouds will linger tonight, but dry air will begin to move deeper into our area. Sunday morning will feel comfortable with low 60s for temperatures.
- Sunday, the low-pressure system will move even farther away, with increasing sunshine making a return. Temperatures will stay comfortable in the 70s.
- Our final chance for any light precipitation with this system may come Sunday night with a passing shower or two, but that quickly will come to an end Sunday night.
- Beautiful weather prevails for next week.
TROPICS:
- Subtropical Storm Karen is no more.
- Tropical Storm Jerry continues to move through the Atlantic and will stay far away from Bermuda and the U.S.
- Another tropical wave will be worth watching over the next week or two, but no current threats.
- The next name is Lorenzo.
