Florida – A 106-degree heat index could make Jacksonville's Sunday afternoon feel punishing before thunderstorms develop across the city. Monday turns even hotter at 93 degrees, while storm chances increase to 50%.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday reaches about 92 degrees with heat index values as high as 106. Showers and thunderstorms carry a 40% chance after 2 p.m.
The combination creates two concerns for outdoor plans: intense summer heat followed by potentially quick-changing thunderstorms.
Drink water regularly and seek air conditioning during extended periods outside. Beachgoers and families should head indoors immediately when thunder becomes audible.
Sunday evening keeps a 30% thunderstorm chance before 11 p.m. A slight shower chance then continues into early Monday.
Drivers on I-95, I-10 and I-295 should watch for sudden downpours. Even isolated storms can quickly reduce visibility and leave water on heavily traveled lanes.
The provided NWS outlook does not identify a specific tornado threat. Still, residents should monitor weather alerts as thunderstorms develop.
Monday becomes the hottest day shown. Jacksonville reaches about 93 degrees before a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms develops after 2 p.m.
Storm chances persist into Monday evening at 30%. Temperatures only fall to around 77, offering limited relief.
Tuesday turns slightly cooler near 89 degrees. A 40% storm chance develops mainly after 2 p.m., with breezy conditions also expected.
Wednesday reaches about 87 with a 50% precipitation chance. Thunderstorms become possible after 8 a.m. Thursday stays unsettled with a 40% storm chance and a high near 88.
