Sea breeze showers and storms

Afternoon showers and high humidity are expected to continue across Jacksonville, driven by the Gulf and Atlantic sea breezes.

What is a sea breeze? By definition, it’s the flow from the sea toward the land that typically peaks in intensity during the afternoon.

An active sea breeze will carry showers and storms, between I-75 and Highway 301/US1, mainly after 2 pm.  Some showers may drift toward I-95 late afternoon, evening as the sea breeze weakens.  Remember and honor those who have paid the ultimate price to afford us our freedoms, today and every day.

Ukraine and NATO warships and military aircraft have conducted Black Sea drills in a two-week show of their strong defense ties and capability.

The Gulf Coast sea breeze will be a focal point for isolated showers and storms.  Meanwhile it’s hot and getting hotter.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla - Today will be steamy, hot and a bit parched. We will be dry today with low rain chances at 20% primarily targeting southern Georgia and north central inland Florida. Sea Breeze sweeps clouds inland through the afternoon with mostly sunny skies. A tropical disturbance in the Straits of Florida will move north up the Gulf Stream with no noticeable impacts to us other than keeping rain chances suppressed today and Saturday at 20%. It could become a Tropical Storm offshore Cape Hatteras Monday at which point moisture increases over Jacksonville in the systems wake boosting rain chances to 60-70% to start next week.
