JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – This weather pattern means storms are forecast to pop up throughout the afternoons and evenings, with the most likely window being from 2 to 4 p.m.
If you’re in Orange Park, Green Cove Springs, Jacksonville, Palm Coast, or St. Augustine, keep an umbrella handy. While not everyone will get caught in a shower, those who do could see quick downpours and gusty winds as storms move through.
Rain is likely every day into Sunday and well into the work week, with expected rainfall totals in some spots close to an inch over the next five days, according to rainfall maps shown during the Exact Track 4D forecast.
While those afternoon storms are expected to be widespread and sometimes strong, nothing severe is forecast through the weekend. The Storm Prediction Center agrees, with no warnings issued for the Jacksonville area at this time.
Gusty winds are possible within the stronger storms, but the main message: these are typical summer pop-up events, not the kind that bring damaging winds or hail.
Jacksonville is settling into a classic summer setup, with News4JAX’s Exact Track 4D showing a daily dose of showers and storms. Highs are expected to stay in the 90s, with the forecast calling for 93 degrees in Jacksonville proper and 93 in Callahan. Coastal areas, like Palm Coast and St. Augustine, will be a bit cooler but still close to 90 degrees.
Additionally, the tropical outlook is being monitored, with a very low (10–20 percent) chance of development noted near the Bay of Campeche. No immediate impacts are expected locally, but The Weather Authority continues to keep an eye on the tropics for any changes.
The bottom line for your plans? No need to cancel just yet, but keep an eye on the forecast and have a plan B if outdoor activities are on your weekend agenda. If you capture amazing weather moments, share them with News4JAX through SnapJAX!
