Still dry but turning warmer, humidity returns to end the week

Jacksonville, FL — After morning lows in the 60’s, this afternoon will be warm but dry with temperatures climbing near 90 degrees inland. It stays cooler at the beaches.

Action News Jax Meteorologist Garrett Bedenbaugh is tracking a wind shift by Thursday, which brings humidity back as well as chance for rain and thunderstorms.

Heavy downpours appear to be the greatest risks as the pattern turns more stormy into the start of the weekend.

Tropical Storm Cristobal has strengthened a little more as it creeps slowly toward the coast of Mexico.  The First Alert Weather Team says the center of circulation is likely to stay well west of Florida.
