JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 I\u2019m seeing signs that the Jacksonville area should prepare for some unsettled weather this week, and I want to break down what\u2019s coming using your Exact Track 4D radar.<\/p>\n
The rain chances are expected to climb every day as we move through the week. Right now, we\u2019re starting around a 30% chance for Monday, but by Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, rain looks a lot more likely. <\/p>\n
These showers could become more widespread as we get deeper into the week.<\/p>\n
You won\u2019t need to cancel all your plans, but it\u2019s definitely smart to keep rain gear handy. Some showers will be heavy\u2014maybe even a thunderstorm or two. Not everyone will see rain at the same time, but almost everyone is in the game once we get toward the end of the week.<\/p>\n
Memorial Day morning: Warm and muggy<\/p>\n
As we got started this morning, Jacksonville, Mayport, Orange Park, and St. Augustine were already sitting close to 80 degrees before sunrise! <\/p>\n
It\u2019s a warm start for late May, and there isn\u2019t much of a breeze out there for many of you.<\/p>\n
For today, a few showers are already popping up off the Atlantic and drifting in, especially for spots from Palm Coast and St. Augustine through World Golf Village. <\/p>\n
Most folks will stay dry, especially early. But later in the day, we could see some pop-up activity\u2014mainly as the heat builds through the afternoon.<\/p>\n
Some of these storms could be briefly heavy, and if you\u2019ve got beach plans or are heading out for Memorial Day events, it\u2019s a good idea to have that poncho stashed close by.<\/p>\n
Weekend outlook: Heat, humidity, scattered storms<\/p>\n
The weekend ahead is expected to keep those summer vibes rolling. Our highs will stay up in the upper 80s and maybe hit 90 degrees in a few neighborhoods. Places like Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Waycross are forecast to reach between 87 and 89 degrees Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n
Humidity will be a big factor, and rain chances remain. By Friday and Saturday, rain looks much more likely overall, so if you\u2019ve got big outdoor plans, make sure you\u2019re ready to duck inside if needed. Even a quick trip to the golf course could mean taking a break in the clubhouse as a quick shower rolls through.<\/p>\n
The pattern doesn\u2019t look to change much, so we\u2019ll stay in the 80s and low 90s, with low to mid-70s overnight, and that sticky feeling in the air isn\u2019t leaving anytime soon.<\/p>\n
