Cooking in the heat

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – We are cooking under the heat advisory with most areas over 100° on the heat index. A Heat Advisory for the entire viewing area through 7 p.m.

Don’t count on any rain to cool you down. At best an isolated shower may briefly develop west of Jacksonville but overall the areas stay parched. The weak sea breeze may spark evening showers near I-75 but the pattern continues rather dry into Thursday.

Tomorrow may avoid a heat advisory since temps low back into the lower 90s. Some inland locations may reach the middle 90s, but coastal locations top out in the upper 80s with a stronger afternoon easterly flow.

Conditions stay mainly dry Friday except for scattered showers and storms across SE GA as a weak cold front approaches by Saturday. It’s just a teaser since highs stay in the upper 90s inland and lower 90s along the coast over the weekend.
