Businesses in San Marco are preparing for some amount of rain late this weekend.
Latresha Watson, cashier at the Flame Broiler, said her restaurant started preparations Friday morning.
“We’ve been checking all the boxes. We’re making sure the drains in the back are clear and flushed out and then we’re also preparing to bring in our sandbags. Everything should be good before we close Saturday night,” said Watson.
The Action News Jax First Alert weather team reports our area can expect heavy rains Sunday with sporadic flooding and waterspouts or tornados possibly. Overall, winds should be gusty but not severe.
