First Alert Weather: Hot weekend ahead with afternoon storms

Hot weekend ahead with more afternoon storms First Alert Meteorologist Trevor Gibbs is tracking what to expect for the Jags season home opener.

Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the forecast:

  • This morning is dry with temperatures in the 70s.
  • Today will be hot, especially for mid-September standards. Highs will range 90-95 degrees with feels like temperatures 100-105.
  • More afternoon storms are expected, moving from west to east. They will push offshore by sunset.
  • Storms today will be capable of brief torrential rain, frequent lightning strikes, and gusty winds.
  • Sunday will be similarly hot with a few more late afternoon storms, but the coverage should not be as high as today.
  • The Jags game will be HOT and we’ll be watching for storms nearby during the second half of the game.
  • Onshore winds return next week with “cooler” afternoons, gusty winds at the coast, and a few occasional showers.
