Warm & relatively humid air is in place across the First Coast & will mean a daily chance for a few afternoon/evening showers & storms. Though poorly organized, a few spots will manage some locally heavy rain. It would appear that the best chance for widespread showers & storms will be Sat. afternoon & evening as a cold front moves through the area.
