First Alert Weather: Tracking Chantal and sea breeze storms returning

First Alert Forecast: Saturday, July 5 - Early Evening Meteorologist Corey Simma has the latest forecast

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

  • Onshore winds have brought spotty showers here and there during the day today
  • We also have a HIGH rip current risk with rough surf at the beaches
  • Rain will mostly shift inland this evening and taper off tonight
  • The winds change direction tomorrow, calming things down at the beach
  • We’ll see some rain & storms, but not a lot
  • The best chance to see heavy rain will be along & south of I-10
  • We have rain & storms in the forecast each day into next week
  • But it doesn’t look like a ton of rain
  • There isn’t one day that’s really sticking out to me as super wet & stormy
  • Temps do warm up above average, between 92-95 each day

TROPICS

  • Tropical Storm Chantal was upgraded this morning, becoming the third named storm of the season
  • It’s 200 miles NE of Jacksonville, tracking toward the Carolinas
  • Landfall will happen Sunday, then it will move inland and weaken
  • Locally, rough seas and surf continue Saturday evening
  • Then Chantal moves too far away, and we’ll see offshore winds & calmer beaches on Sunday
  • There are no other local impacts from Chantal - the rain we’re seeing is not directly from Chantal
  • There are no other areas to watch in the tropics
