It’s the hottest day so far this week then some change

The temperatures are baking us today in the 90s.  Today is our one chance to come within a few degrees of near record high temperatures. We will reach the mid 90s over inland areas with low 90s at the coast.

The day will be dry except for an isolated shower over Putnam and Flagler counties.

Tonight the sea breeze will stay strong into the early evening keeping the skies mostly clear around Jacksonville.

A wetter pattern starts Friday afternoon as storms return and pick up over the weekend. A boost in humidity and clouds will end the excessive heat over 90°. Showers and thunderstorms return approaching our area from the south after 2 p.m. then spreading north, 30-50 percent. Wake up temperatures in the upper 60s to 70s. Afternoon highs in the low to mid 90s, upper 80s along our beaches.

If you were needing some rain it will start soon and certainly be around each day next week.
