Showers and storms tonight, a hot start to the weekend

Not as hot Fathers Day Juneteenth

WEEKEND

It was hotter earlier this week compared to today. I shouldn’t be so trite since it means little when it’s still in the low 90s this afternoon. The bottom line it’s a roaster but at least the heat advisories are not flagged today. Tomorrow they may return. Get ready to be blasted harder Saturday as the hottest day of the season is anticipated with upper 90s in JAX.

Temps dip below by 9:30 tonight when some showers may first show up over southern Georgia and track south into Lake City and Gainesville tonight. Other isolated showers are possible in Duval after midnight. Tomorrow scattered showers will develop in the Afternoon around NE FL as a front nears the area. NW winds behind the front Saturday pumps up the heat to 98°.

Fathers Day Juneteenth will be dry with a NE breeze sweeping any showers toward the Gulf coast in the afternoon and backing down the temps to near 90.

Beyond a chance for scattered showers tonight and Saturday, the pattern doesn’t support much rain through the upcoming week. After Monday next week heat increases once more.
