The Storms Are Brewing: Jacksonville’s Week Ahead

Today in Jacksonville, you might think this is new, but… it’s not. The National Weather Service has flagged the area with a level one marginal risk of severe weather, so keep your umbrella handy and an eye on the sky.

Storms Moving East to West

The storms are expected to traverse from the coast all the way up to I-95 and US 17 corridors. The timing? From 1 p.m. to 10 p.m., in different areas, meaning you might catch a break during your lunch hour or evening commute.

Highs and Lows

The heat is expected to stick around, reaching about 88 degrees today. But once the storms move through, expect a noticeable cooldown—temperatures are forecasted to drop by about 10 degrees, with highs on Tuesday near 78 degrees. Don’t forget that things don’t stay cool for long! By Thursday, highs will be climbing right back into the upper 80s, with lows hovering in the 60s and 70s.

Be Prepared

Rain chances stick around at 40 percent for today and tomorrow. But should they fall quickly after Wednesday, you can expect a dry stretch as we head into the weekend. With the heat on tap, don’t forget about your furry friends!

At 3 p.m., sidewalks can get hot enough to burn your dog’s paws, so try to walk them earlier in the day or on the grass. If that’s not possible, just do your best to keep them safe and comfortable.

And who needs a pet when you’ve got a community coming together? Many in our city are keeping spirits up, checking in with each other, and sharing positive attitudes—that makes a difference for everyone as we get through these stormy days.
