Tonight may be the last we see of chilly low 40s for a while.

Clay, Putnam and St. Johns counties were under a tornado warning for parts of Sunday afternoon as showers and stormes pushed through. There were some reports of downed trees near State Road 13A and some flooding on County Road 65. AdThe Weather Authority Alert Day ended shortly before 6 p.m., and showers will fade Sunday night.

Worst on Saturday will be in the Panhandle yet expect rains/downpours for JaxJACKSONVILLE, Fla. – This is an update to the challenging weekend forecast. After decades of forecasting, I have always been leery over the “sure thing” 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 “sure thing” for this weekend. But, if I told you there was a 93% chance of rain, you would most likely conclude, “Dang, it is going to rain a ton”. AdYet, this is where the forecast models really unload, forecasting anywhere between 1-3″ of rain over Jacksonville (higher amounts in Georgia) during the next six days.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – We’re seeing showers and a few thunderstorms scattered across most of our area, and we can expect a round or two more as we head into the evening hours. We may see dense fog in some areas again tonight, temperatures are sinking down into the upper 50s. Another round of showers will build across our area Saturday night. Monday will be mild and damp, with passing shower and temperatures in the mid 70s. Every single day for the rest of the work week next week looks similarly damp, with 60% chances for passing showers.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – We’re only around a third of the way into February and we’ve already picked up about two-thirds the normal rainfall we typically see. That makes our monthly total 2.40″ of rain so far, which is only .79″ below our average rainfall total for the whole month, which is 3.19″. Comparatively, February of 2019 was much drier as we only saw 1.83″ of rain that month. If we go through February and March without much rain, our wildfire danger grows quite high. AdLooking ahead to the next round of wet weather, it appears we will continue to stave off spring fire danger with rain expected on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As the Weather Authority Alert continues Saturday, the National Weather continues to watch to severe storms track east northeast across Northeast Florida.

Drier air is taking over shrinking the opportunity for heavy rain or frequent showers. Areas north of I-10 didn’t see much of any rain Sunday and the lack of rain spreads southward keeping places mostly dry tonight. Beaches will be the one area where a few isolated showers may develop but winds turn northerly confining most offshore. We will be treated to below normal lows in the mid to upper 60s north and central zones and upper 60s to around 70 from downtown to the coast. Once we get back into the 90s, it appears we stay that way through the end of the month!

The first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season sent rain over North Carolina Monday and forecasters warned to expect dangerous surf and rip currents for another day along parts of the U.S. East Coast. The storm had top sustained winds of 60 mph (95 kmh) Tuesday morning, and was moving east-northeast at 15 mph (24 kmh) on a path that would carry its center over the island of Bermuda on Thursday. Arthur formed Saturday in waters off Florida, marking the sixth straight year that a named storm has developed before June 1. By late Monday, storm watches and warnings in effect for parts of the North Carolina coast were canceled.
