It'll be a hot, humid weekend with scattered mainly inland afternoon storms Sat. then storms should be more numerous & possibly reaching all the way to the coast Sunday.So with any luck Cumberland Island in Ga. will get some much needed rain after...

Our 4th of July will feature typical weather conditions for the First Coast: hot & humid with scattered afternoon thunderstorms.  Afternoon temps. will soar to near 90 degrees, but it'll be in the low to mid 80s at the beaches by late afternoon...

The tropics are awakening -- something touched on last week.  The E. Pacific has two named storms -- "Boris" & "Douglas" with another soon to follow just off the coast of Central America.  In the Atlantic Basin, a strong tropical wave is...

Our drier pattern has arrived...for awhile.  Any showers & storms will be widely scattered & mostly inland Wed. & Thu.  Deep moisture pushes back into the area by the 4th & into the weekend with an increase in the coverage of...

A wet, stormy weekend though with plenty of sun prior to the storm's arrival.  Rainfall on my yard totaled more than 2.5" on the Southside.  Lightning & wind did a number on power lines & a few trees around the First Coast.  A viewer...

It'll be a stormy weekend at times.  Winds aloft & at the surface are from the southwest which will promote the development of thunderstorms by midday from the Northeast Gulf into N. Central Fl. near & north of Lake City.  Storms will...

Check out the photo below sent from viewers Tammy & Doug McFarland, Macclenny, FL. -- a classic shelf cloud on the leading edge (west edge) of a severe thunderstorm complex in Western Nassau & Duval County just to the east of Macclenny. ...

Jacksonville Int'l. Airport had a daily record rainfall Wed. with 2.85" of rain breaking the June 25 record of 2.15" set in 2006.  Storms were not widespread but where the storms occurred, rainfall amounts were very heavy.  JIA also had a 60...

One of our loyal viewers -- Joanna Touchton from Sanderson, FL in Baker County-- sent me the photo below of a rainbow-colored ring around the sun.  It's faint but visible if you know it's there.  This phenomenon is caused by ice crystals in...

A little bit of a reprieve from widespread showers & storms Tue. & Wed.  We'll still have a few storms, but they'll pretty widely scattered.  Less rain & less cloud cover will mean hotter temps. with afternoon readings reaching the...

NOAA: Global Temperature Seventh Warmest for Spring, Eighth Warmest for May The combined average global land and ocean surface temperatures for spring (March-May) ranked seventh warmest, while May was the eighth warmest since worldwide records began in...

Our subtle pattern change is taking place with east to southeast winds taking over as the upper level low weakens & loses its influence.  So scattered afternoon storms will still develop Fri.-Sat. but will primarily be inland -- near & west...

This morning's "altocu" (altocumulus) clouds were a good clue about today's (Wed.) storms.  Altocumulus clouds -- especially during the spring, summer & early fall -- are good indicators of instability & moisture in the upper levels of the...

Our thunderstorms lit up nicely Tue. afternoon -- especially inland along & west of I-95.  Lots of reports of small to medium sized hail, downed trees & power lines, lightning strikes & extremely heavy rain.   3.75" of rain...

Perhaps the wet season is set to arrive...for real.  After being teased early last week, our atmospheric moisture will increase this week helping develop sea breeze thunderstorms each afternoon.  There will be a few days with enhanced activity:(1)...

A hot, humid weekend.  Little more than a few isolated inland afternoon storms Sat.  By Sun., an upper level low will move west across Fl.  Forecast models have trended a little north recently but moisture seems still seems to be lacking. ...

Hot, humid weather with only isolated & small afternoon inland thunderstorms will continue through the weekend. As quiet as our weather is....it's quite the opposite for more northern latitudes.  An unseasonably strong low pressure system in...

Our thunderstorms did indeed "go isolated" Wed. afternoon & such will be the pattern through the weekend.  In fact, the east onshore wind will increase some so most sea breeze storms -- still isolated -- will shift well inland.  So we're...

3rd day in a row with pretty good afternoon thunderstorm coverage Tue.  But that's about to diminish as drier mid & upper level air & warming upper level temps. will keep thunderstorms much more isolated Wed. through most of the weekend. ...

We've turned the calendar to June & just like that, ka-boom!  Numerous thunderstorms developed Sun. afternoon & again Mon. afternoon.  One storm Sun. was particularly impressive on the Southside of Jax & happened to be over my house. ...

We're in for a hot & humid weekend with afternoon temps. near 90 degrees.  Only an isolated inland thunderstorm can be expected Sat. afternoon but thunderstorm chances look to be higher for Sun. afternoon with the sea breeze located closer to...

The first Pacific tropical storm of the season, Alma, will be short-lived.  The tropical storm intensified quickly but its lifespan was cut short as the storm made landfall late Thu. on the lower west coast of Nicaragua.  The large area of moisture...

I've mentioned a couple of times during the past week that early season tropical development appears possible in the Atlantic Basin.  A good part of the reasoning for this is a "pulse of upward motion" heading east across the equatorial Pacific. ...

Heat & humidity will be making a return to the First Coast in the coming days.  Temperatures will reach the mid to upper 80s Wed. & near or a little above 90 degrees Thu. through the weekend.  The sea breeze will become somewhat active...

This week is "Hurricane Preparedness Week".  You know the drill -- be sure to take it seriously!  Click here for a handy-dandy synopsis of being "storm ready".  Mint Magazine will arrive on many doorsteps within the next few weeks with...
