Quick showers but its the breeze breaking the heat

Then comes the heatwave

. (.)

Showers are riding the breeze off the Atlantic with coverage mostly between St. Johns Duval and Nassau counties. Chance of precipitation is 20%.  Much of the rain will weaken west of the St. Johns River. Spotty showers dissipate this evening.

We continue the cooler than average temperature we have seen all week. Change is coming though. Only two more days are left of mild low 80s before a heatwave kicks in on Sunday.

Today highs are near 82. The breezy easterly winds could gust up to near 30 mph.

Saturday looks ideal with mostly sunny and dry conditions. Temps warm slightly in the low to mid 80s and the winds stay up from the east wind around 15 mph.

Sunday the winds drop off and the 90s start. We won’t see a day below 90° for many days ahead.

Temps build into the mid to upper 90s next week with barely any chance of cooling rain for the remainder of the month.

Enjoy the pause on the heat because Mark says it will soon return with blistering force.
