JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Rain is on the horizon and it\u2019s set to make a big impact across the area, especially Saturday and Sunday. We are tracking showers rolling in from the west, and those chances really jump by the end of the week.<\/p>\n
Expect rain to hit hardest Saturday into Sunday, with rain chances spiking all the way up to 80% during that window. I want you to be on alert for steady showers and pockets of heavier rain, especially into the afternoon and evening hours this weekend.<\/p>\n
Event impacts: Jaguars game and parade<\/p>\n
Now, if you\u2019ve got plans for big weekend events, you\u2019ll want to keep an umbrella close by.<\/p>\n
First up: the Jaguars are hosting the Colts at Everbank Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m. As of now, rain is likely during game time. From what I\u2019m seeing, there\u2019s a good chance of getting a decent soaking, and a rain delay is possible \u2013 so if you\u2019re tailgating or heading to the game, plan to have some cover handy.<\/p>\n
The St. Augustine Christmas Parade also lines up right with our rain chances. If you\u2019re out grabbing a spot early, you\u2019ll probably stay dry through the morning; gathering times look okay around 7 a.m., and the parade kicks off at 9 a.m. But by lunchtime and into the afternoon, showers are forecast to return and stick around. My advice: bring a raincoat if you\u2019ll be staying after the parade.<\/p>\n
Current conditions: more mild, rain coming<\/p>\n
This morning feels milder than yesterday, with temperatures in the 50s and 60s in our area and not much of a breeze out at Morningstar Marinas. But don\u2019t let the calm deceive you \u2013 clouds and rain are coming in fast, and those dry moments won\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n
