JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Sunny, slightly cooler day ahead as May comes to a close. This month is likely to go down in history as the warmest May in Jacksonville. As of Friday, May had 17 consecutive days of high temperatures in the 90s.
Overnight storms are coming to an end in our southern counties as the remaining storms move south. Light winds throughout the day will offer a nice breeze as temperatures across the region stay in the upper 80s.
Sunday temperatures tip back into the 90s as warmer westerly winds return to the area. Mostly sunny skies prevail, as well for the remainder of the weekend.
The rip current risk remains low with current winds, but it’s always wise to swim near a lifeguard, especially for those unfamiliar with the ocean. If you’re planning to be outdoors for longer than 15 minutes, remember to use sun protection — sunburn can still happen quickly, even with cooler air.
The forecast currently shows little chance for significant rain over the next seven days, though a pop-up shower can’t be ruled out during the hottest part of the day.
Hurricane season is a focus this time of year, but The Weather Authority’s Exact Track 4D tropical wave tracker confirms there are currently no waves of concern in the Atlantic for our area. The Pacific’s first named storm, Alvin, is far away by the Baja California Peninsula and has no impact on northeast Florida forecasts.
