FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Tracking weekend heat and storms

Very hot weekend with daily chance of storms First Alert Meteorologist Trevor Gibbs is tracking a typical hot and humid summer weekend with storms.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The First Alert Weather Team is tracking a hot and stormy weekend, with highs in the 90s and storms expected each afternoon.

Notes from the First Alert Weather Team:

  • A very hot weekend is underway, with highs Saturday and Sunday in the mid-90s. A few upper 90s possible.
  • Feels like temperatures will approach 108°F each afternoon, just below Heat Advisory criteria.
  • Rain and storms are expected both Saturday and Sunday. Some could be intense with torrential rain, frequent lightning, and strong wind gusts. Storms are most likely in the afternoon and early evening hours.
  • Coverage of rain will be slightly less on Saturday compared to Friday, but several areas will still see storms. 
  • Coverage increases once again for Sunday across northeast Florida, with some drier air in southeast Georgia limiting the extent of storms there.
