FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Another hot day with afternoon thunderstorms

More storms expected for Sunday afternoon First Alert Meteorologist Trevor Gibbs is tracking the threat for more storms later today.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The First Alert Weather Team is tracking another steamy day ahead with morning temperatures in the 70s and strong afternoon storms likely between US-301 and the beaches.

Notes from the First Alert Weather Team:

  • Temperatures on Sunday morning are in the 70s under mostly clear skies.
  • Sunday will feature another round of showers and thunderstorms—some intense—in the afternoon and early evening.
  • Coverage of storms will be greatest in areas similar to Saturday: in between US-301 and the beaches, where the sea breezes collide.
  • Storms will be capable of very heavy rain, frequent and dangerous lightning, and strong gusty winds. 
  • Highs will rise into the low 90s before rain/clouds cool things off.
  • This weather pattern continues into the upcoming week with a daily chance for storms. Heavy rain could, at times, lead to minor flooding.

TROPICS:

  • Tropical Depression 2 formed in the southwest Gulf on Saturday. It is very weak and close to Mexico’s coast. 
  • It’s possible TD2 briefly becomes a tropical storm. If it does, it will get the name Barry and will have no impact on the U.S.
  • As of this writing, there are no other areas of interest in the tropics.
