JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tracking a dry morning commute for Jacksonville.
- Highs today will be in the lower 90s inland and upper 80s along the coast.
- Feels like temperatures will be 100-103 this afternoon.
- Scattered showers and storms will develop between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. this afternoon and move slowly inland.
- Heavy rain and lightning are the primary threats.
- We see daily chances for afternoon storms this week.
TROPICS:
- Tropical storm “Dexter” formed late last night in the Northwestern Atlantic.
- Dexter is the 4th named storm of the Atlantic season.
- Dexter is moving away from the US and is forecast to remain a tropical storm. No local threat.
- Another area of low pressure area is forecast to develop off the Carolina/GA coast late this week.
- Will watch this one due to proximity to FL and SE Georgia.
- A tropical wave will emerge off the West Coast of Africa today and move into the eastern/central Atlantic where some development is possible.
- The Atlantic as a whole is becoming more favorable for tropical activity, so this will be worth watching.
- The next name is Erin.
- No current tropical threats to our region or to the U.S.
