High probabalities of rain for next 6 days
Worst on Saturday will be in the Panhandle yet expect rains/downpours for JaxJACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ This is an update to the challenging weekend forecast. After decades of forecasting, I have always been leery over the โsure thingโ forecast. As we head into the weekend, the forecast models sure seem to be telling everyone who is willing to listen that heavy rains are a โsure thingโ for this weekend. But, if I told you there was a 93% chance of rain, you would most likely conclude, โDang, it is going to rain a tonโ. AdYet, this is where the forecast models really unload, forecasting anywhere between 1-3โณ of rain over Jacksonville (higher amounts in Georgia) during the next six days.
