Rain increasing through the weekend

.

Heat and storms will take us into the evening. Most will move southwest from Georgia into areas west of the St. Johns River this evening. Rain will be heavy at times over Clay and inland Duval. The heat advisory is in effect for inland Georgia and Baker and inland Nassau county through 5 p.m. Feels Like temperatures are around 105-110 degrees through 5 p.m. today.

The rain will likely stay well west of I-95 but Friday will see the invisible wall break down. Rain will start shifting closer to the coastal counties and become more widespread near the beaches over the weekend.

Tomorrrow will be a touch less hot with highs in the low 90s. Humid conditions spark afternoon showers and storms as scattered showers target Highway 301 to I-95 and the beaches by the evening. Rain chances, 40-50 percent for I-95 to the beaches, 30-40 percent inland.

Late afternoon storms will continue each day this weekend and early next week with temps in the low 90s.
