JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A stalled front will keep tropical moisture in our region for the rest of the weekend into early next week.
As a result, shower and storm coverage will remain widespread during this period.
Temperatures for the rest of the day will be in the 80s with showers and storms from time to time.
Sunday will feature more of the same. We will see a mostly cloudy sky with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Scattered showers and storms are likely in the afternoon and evening.
Heavy rain, gusty wind and frequent lightning will be possible in any storm. Make sure to keep an eye to the sky as showers and storms could develop rapidly in the afternoon and evening.
Isolated instances of flooding can’t be ruled out, especially for those areas that have seen several rounds of showers and storms.
Storm coverage will remain widespread through Tuesday. Temperatures will remain near 90 degrees through the middle of the week.
Guidance shows that an area of low pressure may develop along the stalled front to our north off the coast of the Carolinas. Our region would be on the backside of the system which will play a big role in our rain and storm coverage.
This will likely bring drier air from the north into our area on Wednesday through the upcoming weekend. The humidity would fall and it wouldn’t be as oppressive. The drier air would limit any widespread shower and storm activity during this period.
Regarding the drought, the latest drought monitor reflects some improvement across our area. Most of our area is in an extreme drought. However, rainfall our area has received over the past week has helped our region.
Unfortunately, rain and storm coverage will likely drop later this week into the upcoming weekend.
