Tropics watching and your weekend forecast

Hot dry start to the weekend as we watch what becomes of 98L

The Publix Bold City Showcase will be hot at first but a breeze from the northeast should help after 2 pm

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – This weekend, depending on what exactly becomes of tropical system 98L our weather pattern is in for a big shift. Winds will be shifting again, this time becoming stronger and more northeasterly. The impact on our weather really won't kick-in until later Saturday.

Friday will again see the return of sunny skies, and they are bringing rather steamy conditions as afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 90s. Feel-like temperatures will be around 100°. Winds will be onshore (southeasterly) and this will push most of the afternoon and evening storms well inland.

Rain chances will be light on Saturday, which is good news for the Publix Bold City Showcase (High School football being showcased at Bolles High School and shown Live on Channel 4.)
