Original story: Enjoy the refreshing dry air while it lasts, as we will feel humidity return by this afternoon ahead of a tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico.
Action News Jax Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh says highs will be slightly below average this afternoon in the upper 70’s under mostly cloudy skies. We will see some evening showers moving in from southwest to northeast.
INDEPTH: Talking the Tropics with Mike Buresh
More rain moves in overnight and into Saturday as the system, soon to be named Nestor, arrives. Heavy rain and breezy winds will be moving in overnight tonight and for portions of Saturday. The rain will come in bands. Thus, there will be some moments of dry weather on Saturday.
Strongest impacts will be in the area hit by Michael a little more than a year ago and fairly significant storm surge is forecast for the Big Bend, but not locally.
Buresh says a combination of fast movement and little serious damage to infrastructure means things should return to "normal" quickly once the storm exits.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Sixteen has been mentioned as not likely to develop into "a classical tropical cyclone" but that it will have "some tropical characteristics". Such systems are sometimes referred to as "hybrid cyclones". But what is a "hybrid cyclone"? pic.twitter.com/FKawUE5G8m
