Jacksonville, FL — The soaking start to this week has triggered the start to NE Florida’s wet season. Action News Jax Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh is tracking more rounds of heavy rain today.
“Midday and afternoon showers and storms should pick up with a little bit of heating. There still won’t be a whole lot of sun today but enough sun and enough dry periods to get hotter than yesterday, into the 80’s. And we may even manage a strong storm or two if we can get enough sunshine”, said Buresh.
The area saw between 1 and 3 inches of rain on Tuesday, locally more rain near and south of I-10, the area that had been the driest.
A summer-like weather pattern continues through the weekend, with hot, humid conditions and heavy afternoon/evening shower and storms.
Buresh says a weak area of low pressure near Florida is not likely to become tropical before moving ashore in the Carolina’s later today or tonight. He says there is a slight chance it could become a tropical depression but doesn’t change the local forecast.
