Jacksonville weather: More rain, slick roads, and timing for clearing up

Showers linger while roads stay hazardous

Rain sticks around most of the day

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Hey there! I’m Katie Garner with The Weather Authority, and I want to get you set for the day with the latest forecast using Exact Track 4D. This morning, I tracked scattered rain with heavier pockets up north—including Fernandina Beach and Nassau Ville. If you live in Kingsland, Hilliard, or Callahan, you probably noticed things got a little heavier outside.

Most of the earlier downpours headed out over the Atlantic, but don’t put away the umbrella yet. Our radar still shows more rain popping up, especially toward St. Augustine and World Golf Village. Some showers also popped back up toward Vilano Beach, and we’ll keep an eye on that for you.

Looking ahead, scattered and isolated showers are expected to continue rolling through for much of the day. These could include heavier bursts, so keep your rain gear handy until at least later in the day.

Northern neighborhoods see most rain

The wettest spots this morning were Nassau Ville, Fernandina Beach, Kingsland, Hilliard, and Callahan. If you’re along the coast or in Jacksonville proper, you might not have seen much rain right now. Still, keep an eye on the sky and the Latest Exact Track 4D updates, because rainbands can develop quickly.

Our futurecast shows that even areas in Georgia are catching some of these showers, while St. Augustine and Vilano Beach are also in the mix. Conditions may change by the hour, so I’ll have more updates coming up.

Watch for slick roads and ponding

This morning, both I and Sophia noticed some crashes on the way in. The roads are slick, with ponding in spots—and that’s likely until the rain moves out. Please slow down, give yourself extra travel time, and be safe out there.

I’ll have another update and more details on when the rain is likely to clear by 6:45, so stay tuned to News4JAX and The Weather Authority for all the latest.
