It’s feeling like summer with back-to-back record highs and we’re still 9 days from the start of spring.
Another record high at JAX today. Temperatures reached 92 degrees; the previous record was 89 degrees, set in 1967. Temperatures will drop to near seasonal averages following the rain on Friday. The increasing onshore wind on Friday and Saturday will keep our coastal counties under a slight chance of a passing shower. Rain chances will increase through Sunday afternoon as scattered showers and thunderstorms develop to our south and push north across the area through early evening.
Rainfall models continue to average around 0.50 to 1.5 inches over the next 7 days. Some areas could see more, as slow-moving thunderstorms will be possible.
Scattered showers and areas of light rain will continue through early Monday before cooler temperatures return on Tuesday.
