Jacksonville, Fl — The week is ending really nice with drier air and very little rainfall, after 12 straight days of measurable rain. Action News Jax Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh says Jacksonville International Airport has seen more than 7′' of rain during that stretch, nearly the September average in less than two weeks.
Big changes are coming this weekend, with a local nor’easter that could chew up parts of the coast line.
“The water is going to be very dangerous. In fact, we’re predicting double digit surf pounding our beaches by Sunday and Monday. On the order of 9-12 feet or so, perhaps 13 foot breakers. We don’t get that a whole lot, especially if it’s not driven by a tropical system”, said Buresh.
