Dangerous heat will remain the biggest weather concern Friday as temperatures climb into the mid-90s across Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.
A Heat Advisory is in effect from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Friday. Jacksonville will reach a high near 95 degrees, but the combination of heat and humidity could push feels-like temperatures as high as 105. Anyone spending time outdoors should drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks and limit strenuous activity during the hottest part of the afternoon.
Most neighborhoods will begin the day with plenty of sunshine before a few showers and thunderstorms develop after 3 p.m. Rain coverage will remain limited at around 30%, with most storms fading before 9 p.m. Overnight temperatures will only fall into the mid-70s.
The weekend stays hot and unsettled. Saturday will be mostly sunny with a high near 93 and heat index values approaching 103. Scattered showers and thunderstorms become more likely during the afternoon, with rain chances increasing to 60% Saturday evening before tapering overnight.
Sunday brings another mix of sunshine and clouds with a 30% chance of afternoon storms and a high near 94. Even hotter weather returns Monday, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures climbing to around 96.
Highs remain in the mid-90s through the middle of next week. Scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms return Tuesday and continue Wednesday and Thursday, with daily rain chances between 30% and 40%.
