Warmer days and increased rain chances for Jacksonville
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Monday’s forecast puts daytime highs close to 90 degrees for the start of June, following what she confirmed as the warmest May ever recorded in the city.
If you noticed it felt warmer stepping outside this morning, you weren’t imagining it. Temperatures around the area were up by several degrees compared to the previous day, with locations like Macclenny checking in 6 degrees higher and beaches up 11 degrees.
Skies are expected to clear up as the day goes on, but don’t stash the umbrella too far away.
There’s a 10% to 20% chance of stray afternoon showers, especially for those south of Gainesville to St. Augustine.
While most of Jacksonville will stay dry, keep in mind that a quick pop-up shower may roll through, especially late in the day.
Looking into Tuesday, The Weather Authority’s Exact Track 4D models show increasing winds and moisture moving in from the east. This is expected to boost the chance for rain, especially by Wednesday and Thursday, when scattered showers become more likely.
