Forecast Details: large high pressure ridge at surface and aloft resides to the north while stationary front remains over central Florida. Tight gradient of moisture continues over the area with precipitable waters remaining around 2 inches just south of Jacksonville decreasing to less than 1.5 along Altamaha river Georgia. Expect one more day of showers and isolated thunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall over northeast Florida and lesser chances over southeast Georgia. Models continue to show upper ridge to the north building south into the area on Tuesday bringing middle- upper level subsidence and drying.
Did you know that... On this date in 1998, a tropical weather system in the Caribbean Sea and its potentially tremendous rainfall were a possibly welcomed idea to the 110,000 Floridians still evacuated from their homes due to wildfires.
In1830 Judge F. Bethune reported weather conditions for his New Ross plantation five miles north of Jacksonville on the St. Johns River as 82 degrees and fair weather in the morning, but by three o’clock, the temperature had soared to 95 degrees.
