Cloudy skies and showers continue to build this afternoon/evening. A few smaller, isolated showers are taking shape along the I-95 corridor and pushing west. These will progress inland through the rest of the day, evening.

Today stays partly sunny and breezy with temps in the upper 70s. The humidity isn’t too bad yet and the afternoon and evening will remain dry.

Need plans this weekend? Here are some events to get you out of the house.

Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies with a slim chance of showers.  Clearing skies with cooler temperatures tonight and this weekend.

The east breeze is staying up with partly cloudy skies this afternoon. Temps are in the 80s and dip into the 70s after 5 pm.

Temperatures will be below normal today, tonight. Mostly sunny with some cloud cover at times possible along our coastal counties. With the proximity of the weak front offshore, clouds will be possible for time to time over eastern counties this afternoon, an isolated showers could also be possible. The high will north tonight, decreasing cloud cover.

What a dreary and chilly day. At least the rain is gone but it will take a bit longer for the clouds to clear. Eventually the dampness will fade this evening as skies clear after sunset.  Temperatures have not budged today from the 60s. Look for them to dive into the 50s inland and lower 60s near the coast.

Very complex weather patter has left many areas of the South cleaning up from moderate to strong severe storms. A tornado watch is in effect west of Jacksonville and these same storms will be moving through NEFL and SEGA by this evening.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After a warm, sunny, lovely Friday, the winds of change blow tonight.
