Weekend WX Outlook...

...Hot Conditions to Continue Along With Scattered Strong and Isolated Severe Thunderstorms This Weekend...

Saturday Night: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 8pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 71. South-southeast wind around 5 mph becoming calm. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Sunday: A 50 % chance of showers and thunderstorms after 8am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 92. Calm wind becoming southeast between 4 and 7 mph.

Sunday Night: A 30 % chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 71.

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected each afternoon and evening through the weekend. The slow storm motion will continue the potential for heavy rainfall and minor flooding.

Forecast Details: not much change in pattern. Weak pressure pattern continues with area sandwiched between large upper ridge to the west and weak upper low off the coast. This opens the door for spokes of energy to ride south across the area which will enhance thunderstorm activity that will develop along the sea breezes and move inland. Have highest rain chance (50%) for inland northeast Florida and trimmed back rain chances some along the coast and also the far northern zones. Stronger storms will be capable of frequent cloud to ground lightning, strong gusty winds and locally heavy rain.
