JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It was a wet start for many this Monday, and where it was not raining the roads were still wet and or foggy.
The Weather Authority has been tracking showers and thunderstorms all day long as they move from south to north across our region. Rainfall totals should remain under a quarter of an inch for many of us Monday but a few pockets higher than that aren't out of the question.

The catalyst to the wet weather is sort of the same set up that brought us the snow last Thursday. High pressure moving in out of Canada will help our winds veer to the northeast pushing moisture over the Atlantic into our region into mid week.
