Friday’s forecast.
An area of high pressure will remain offshore for the rest of the week. This will bring an easterly wind to our area. With more sunshine, temperatures will climb into the low 80s through Saturday, mid to upper 80s on Sunday.
Showers and storms are possible Friday afternoon and evening.
Isolated showers and storms will be possible each day thanks to the sea breeze. Areas along and west of the St. Johns River will have the best chance of seeing a shower or storm.
A front will approach our area from the north early next week. It will turn breezy and much cooler with a northeasterly wind. Highs will only be in the 60s to near 70 degrees on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
A front will bring widespread rainfall to our area early next week.
The front will be slow-moving, which will keep the rain coverage widespread each day. The most widespread rain will likely be on Tuesday. This will bring beneficial rainfall to our area, which is good news since we are in a drought. Several areas could potentially see over an inch or more of rain.
The latest drought outlook.
Regarding the drought, the latest drought monitor reflects the overall pattern over the past few months. Most of our area remains in an extreme drought. An exceptional drought classification has been expanded to include more of our area. As mentioned above, slight improvement can be expected with the rain in the forecast early next week.
