TODAY: It's a First Alert Weathrer Day: Cloudy, Scattered showers. Turning breezy. High: 78 TONIGHT: Cloudy with showers. Breezy along the coast. Low: 68 WEDNESDAY: Windy with scattered showers…
I'm Action News Jack's first alert meteorologist Trevor Gibbs of 5 on the WOKV weather meter.
Today it is a first alert weather day as we continue to track rounds of rain with some heavy downpours possible both this morning and into the afternoon.
There'll be hit or miss on where the heaviest rain occurs, but expecting to see more rain.
That'll add to some totals which in some places have been pretty high over the last couple of days, especially south of Jacksonville yesterday.
Places in Clay, Putnam and St. Johns County saw several inches of rain.
Less so for Duval County, so we can still take a fair amount of rainfall before flooding becomes a big concern.
But certainly with repeated rounds of rain like we're expecting in some places today and into tonight, there could be some localized flooding.
But with the clouds and occasional showers and downpours, we're only going to stay in the 70s to near 80 degrees this afternoon.
Tonight, the wind will start to pick up as low pressure organizes offshore.
So we'll start to see some gusty winds develop along our coastline overnight tonight and into your Wednesday.
We're going to have some sustained winds anywhere from 15 to 20 miles an hour.
Some wind gusts above 30, if not approaching 40 miles per hour for Wednesday.
And that onshore wind is going to continue to transport a couple of heavy showers onshore at times.
We have an approaching new moon, so those factors combined together will give us likely some coastal flooding around the times of high tide along the St. Johns River and along the Atlantic coast.
Of course, the gusty winds will kick up the season surf, so not the best conditions for getting in the water.
And we're going to continue to track elevated chances of rain into the weekend.
And by the weekend, we could be tracking a tropical system passing by our area to the west.
There's an area of thunderstorms right now in the central and southwestern Gulf that may organize into our next named storm of this hurricane season.
