JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 There\u2019s been a lot of talk about storms and summer heat\u2014so let\u2019s break it all down together.<\/p>\n
First, the good news: our forecast doesn\u2019t show any major storms barreling our way. Exact Track 4D radar is looking pretty clear right now, and there\u2019s nothing brewing in the tropics.<\/p>\n
What you will notice is the heat. Daytime highs are expected to run above average, landing in the low 90s through the weekend and beyond. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s 91 degrees today, and it should feel even warmer out there with a hot breeze. <\/p>\n
If you\u2019re heading out for Jacksonville\u2019s Jazz Fest tonight, you\u2019re looking at 88 degrees around 5 p.m., dropping to 85 by 7 p.m., and down to 79 by about 9 p.m. Expect a little breeze that may feel good, but not much relief from the heat overall.<\/p>\n
Overnight lows are forecast to be mild, sitting around 74 degrees. We\u2019re expecting the heat to stick around until midweek, with some mid-to-high 80s returning after that.<\/p>\n
Scattered storms, but not a washout<\/p>\n
While you might spot a few showers during the high heat of the day, I expect those to be scattered and isolated\u2014nothing that should ruin your weekend plans.<\/p>\n
Our rain chances stand at about 40% for both Saturday and Sunday, which means it\u2019s not widespread and definitely not a washout.<\/p>\n
Most of these showers will stay off the coast in the mornings, but a few could drift inland later. Be sure to keep an eye on Exact Track 4D and check our weather app especially if you see dark clouds at the beach or around the city.<\/p>\n
