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.
