Jacksonville's weather forecast turns cooler this week

JACKSONVILLE, Fla – We remain under a marginal risk for strong to severe storms though Tuesday evening. These storms are capable of producing heavy rainfall, damaging winds, hail, and a slight chance for an isolated tornado.

The main line of storms currently sits over Lake City and will continue to push east northeast. There is also another cluster of thunderstorms ahead of the main line over Nassau, Duval and Clay county producing periods of heavy rainfall and gusty winds.

The last of the front will bring a second round during late afternoon with clearing to follow this evening.
