Jacksonville Braces for a Rainy Weekend Ahead
Hey there, Jacksonville! Dust off those umbrellas because it looks like we’re in for a wet and wild weekend. The weather folks have rolled out a First Alert Weather Day for Sunday, with rain and thunderstorms expected to take center stage throughout the area. If you’ve got outdoor plans, you might want to rethink your strategy.
Saturday’s Weather Rundown
Earlier today, Jacksonville witnessed some light showers that kept things a bit sprightly. However, fear not! The afternoon has made a dry comeback, giving everyone a brief moment to enjoy the sunshine before the clouds roll in. Later this evening, there is a chance for some light showers to pop up again, especially in the southern and western parts of town. So, keep an eye on the sky if you’re heading out!
What to Expect Sunday
Now, Sunday is where things really start to heat up—well, not in the temperature department, but definitely in terms of weather activity! Prepare yourselves for a deluge of rain accompanied by thunderstorms that are expected to make an appearance as early as Sunday morning. It might be one of those *stay-in-your-pajamas-all-day* kinda scenarios because persistent rain and embedded thunderstorms will linger throughout much of the day.
Rainfall Expectations
So just how much rain are we talking about? Well, the estimates suggest that most areas can expect rainfall totals of about 1-2 inches, with some lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it) areas possibly seeing up to 3-4 inches. Let’s just say you might want to find a good book or binge-watch your favorite series, as the outdoor activities will likely be a no-go!
Severe Weather Risk
Along with the rain, there’s also a slight chance of severe weather on Sunday, rated at a low-end level 1 out of 5. The primary threat with this stormy weather will be gusty winds, which could reach speeds of 40-60 mph. It’s definitely time to batten down the hatches! And while tornadoes aren’t the likely star of the show, the chance for brief tornadoes can’t be completely ruled out.
Monday’s Forecast
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the rain will let up just yet. The forecast suggests that the wet weather will carry on into Monday morning but should start to clear out by the evening. So, if you thought you could kick back and relax for the beginning of the week, think again! After all, we all know that Jacksonville loves keeping things interesting.
Prepare for the Wet Weather
Here’s a friendly reminder to prepare yourself for the inclement conditions. Widespread rain with accumulations of around 1-3 inches is expected, so make sure you have your rain gear handy—raincoats, boots, and of course, that trusty umbrella. And if you plan on hitting the roads, keep your wits about you; the wet conditions can lead to slick surfaces and low visibility.
Temperature Drops Incoming
Oh, and just when you thought it couldn’t get more interesting, brace for a significant temperature drop heading our way. Between Wednesday and Saturday, temps could plummet by a whopping 20 degrees—so keep your sweaters and warm clothes at the ready!
In the meantime, make sure to stay informed about the weather conditions. You can sign up for weather alerts to keep up with all the latest updates on storms and traffic delays. Stay safe out there, Jacksonville, and happy indoor weekend vibes!
