Summer showers are helping some lawns

Over a half inch of rain fell in central Duval from Arlington to the southside this afternoon. Like that storm, much of the other areas won’t have rain for long but any showers will help bring some relief to thirsty yards.

Showers will stick around town into the early evening with drier conditions closer to the beaches. A few isolated thunderstorms are also possible as the bulk of rain pushes inland west of the river tonight.

Southern areas from Flagler to Putnam county could see heavier showers and storms shifting westward with the sea breeze,

Mostly cloudy skies and the east breeze will keep temps in the mid 80s before falling into the 70s overnight.

Tomorrow brings back more scattered showers with highs in the upper 80s to 90. Skies will be partly cloudy as storms develop after 2 p.m., 50-70 percent inland, 30-40 percent along our beaches.
