Weather / Alerts
Heads up, First Coast residents! Potentially strong to severe thunderstorms are forecast to move through the Jacksonville area and surrounding regions this Friday evening. Stay informed about the potential impacts.
A weather system moving into the region is creating conditions favourable for thunderstorm development across Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia later today. While not expected to be widespread, some storms could reach strong or severe levels.
**Expected Hazards:** * **Heavy Rain:** Short bursts of intense rain could lead to temporary minor flooding, especially in low-lying or poor-drainage areas. * **Lightning:** Frequent cloud-to-ground lightning is a significant risk with any thunderstorm. * **Wind Gusts:** Stronger storms could produce wind gusts capable of downing small tree limbs or causing minor property damage. * **Hail:** Some storms may contain hail, potentially damaging vehicles and property.
**Who This Affects Most:** * Residents in areas prone to flooding. * Individuals with outdoor plans Friday evening. * Commuters traveling during the storm's passage.
**How to Prepare:** * Secure loose outdoor items (furniture, trash cans). * Ensure devices are charged in case of power outages. * Monitor local weather updates and alerts throughout the evening. * Have a plan to seek shelter indoors if thunderstorms approach. * Avoid driving through flooded roadways.
