JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Higher humidity has moved back in, along with hazy skies, thanks to the jet stream drawing smoke from Canadian wildfires south all the way to the Southeast U.S.
The smoke will gradually thin and dissipate over the next day or two.

Here’s what you can expect for the rest of the week:
- Tuesday will be very warm and humid with isolated afternoon showers.
- Rainfall coverage will begin to increase Tuesday night and even more so for Wednesday and Thursday, when everyone will get at least some rain. The heaviest amounts will be roughly from Interstate 95 to the beaches.
- Highs will be near 90 on Tuesday, then the 80s on Wednesday and Thursday.
- We’ll go back to a more “normal” early summer weather pattern Friday into the weekend – hot & humid with a few afternoon storms.
INTERACTIVE RADAR: Keep track of the rain as it moves through your neighborhood
TROPICS: (1) An area of weak low pressure will develop by midweek northeast of Jacksonville & near the coast of the Carolinas. While this area has been highlighted in yellow by the NHC for a low risk of development, there will be few, if any, direct impacts to Jacksonville/Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia. Tropical moisture will bring showers and storms to the local area with or without any low pressure actually developing.
(2) Keeping an eye on the Western Caribbean and Southern Gulf for possible longer-range tropical development – not likely til at least sometime next week, if at all. Always more at “Talking the Tropics With Mike.”
