JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 We\u2019re expecting rain to move into Jacksonville tonight, bringing a chance for storms through the overnight hours.<\/p>\n
On Exact Track 4D, you can clearly see a strong line of rain forming through Georgia around 5 p.m. By 7 to 9 p.m., that rain pushes south, crossing into Jacksonville, and everyone is looking at wet weather overnight.<\/p>\n
Showers are definitely needed, so I\u2019m glad to say they\u2019re likely\u2014even though they will arrive after dark. Be sure to have alerts turned on with our app so you\u2019ll be notified, because it\u2019s harder to spot changes outside once the sun goes down.<\/p>\n
Frost advisory, chilly morning start<\/p>\n
You probably woke up chilly this morning! There\u2019s a frost advisory south of Jacksonville, covering Palatka, Gainesville, and surrounding areas, in effect until 8 a.m. No advisories are posted beyond those spots, but it\u2019s definitely cold throughout the area.<\/p>\n
We started with 40 degrees in Jacksonville, most places along the coast in the 30s, and areas in Georgia holding around 48 degrees. If you grabbed a coat this morning, you weren\u2019t alone.<\/p>\n
Warming trend and wind gusts<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s some good news\u2014we\u2019re warmer today than yesterday, and the sun is going to help push us a little higher before the rain arrives. Winds have been light so far, hanging around 5 to 10 mph this morning, but I\u2019m forecasting those gusts to pick up as the front heads through later this afternoon and this evening.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s looking like a nice day until late, so enjoy it while you can.<\/p>\n
