FIRST ALERT WEATHER: A few heavy showers as a tropical low moves south of Jacksonville

We are tracking the potential for a few coastal showers this morning that will spread a bit inland.

  • A area of low pressure continues to spin abut 150 miles southeast of JAX Beach.
  • The low will likely move WNW through the morning and afternoon as it crosses Florida.
  • The center of the low may in fact move near or just across our southern TV viewing area (Putnam/Southern St. Johns to Southern Columbia counties).
  • Limited/few impacts: locally heavy rainfall and a moderate rip current risk.
  • Wind gusts may pick up to 20+ mph this afternoon.
  • Localized flooding is possible with any slow moving downpours well south of Jacksonville.
  • Highs near 90 degrees today. Feels like temperatures of 100.
  • This low then drifts into the NE Gulf with some possibility of developing into a tropical system
  • This pattern will help guide showers & storms farther inland each day
  • The heaviest rain will be between I-75 and the Gulf Coast
  • A few afternoon showers/storms continue, especially inland, for the rest of the week.
