First Alert Weather: On-off showers and storms through the weekend

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the First Alert Weather forecast:

  • Winds have become onshore or off the Atlantic & will dominate our weather pattern through Saturday & Sunday
  • So, we will have showers & storm chances at just about any time, but especially overnight & in the morning for the beaches & coastal counties, including much of metro Jacksonville, then shifting more inland each afternoon. Some of the rain will be heavy at times.
  • The onshore winds will mean a higher rip current risk at area beaches & temps. That won’t be as hot during the day with highs in the 80s to near 90 degrees.

Tropics:

  • The last NHC advisory has been issued on “Dexter” – it’s now a large ocean storm with no impact on any land areas
  • Low pressure is still forecast to develop offshore of the Carolinas but will fairly quickly turn northeast, moving away from the U.S. – no local impacts.
  • A tropical wave over the Eastern Atlantic has long-term potential as it moves west-northwesterly, then turns more north over the central Atlantic.
  • Another wave will emerge off the coast of Africa & has long-term potential. A long way out, but something to carefully track over the next 10-14 days. Always more: “Talking the Tropics With Mike”.
