JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It’s another hot and humid day across Jacksonville, with scattered thunderstorms expected to develop as we move through the day. We should be prepared for changing weather, with periods of sunshine giving way to clouds, showers and thunderstorms.
Temperatures will climb into the upper 80s on the coast and 90s inland this afternoon. Storms could bring heavy rainfall, gusty winds and frequent lightning throughout the afternoon and evening.
For drivers, a quick burst of heavy rain could lead to reduced visibility and slick roads. Anyone heading to the beaches, boating or enjoying outdoor activities should keep an eye on the sky and be ready to move indoors when thunderstorms approach. Remember, if you hear thunder, lightning is close enough to pose a danger.
As we head into the evening, Jacksonville will remain warm and muggy, with additional showers and thunderstorms possible. The unsettled pattern could continue into the weekend, so residents should stay weather-aware and check the latest forecast before making outdoor plans.
For now, the message for Jacksonville is simple: keep the umbrella nearby, stay hydrated and don’t let the sunshine fool you. Today could bring a little bit of everything as summertime heat and thunderstorms once again take center stage across Northeast Florida.
