Jacksonville, Florida – Strong heat and summer thunderstorms are expected to clash over Northeast Florida starting Tuesday afternoon, with Jacksonville likely to see showers by 2 p.m.

According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday will begin dry and humid, but storms will develop by mid-afternoon as temperatures peak near 93°F. Wind gusts could reach 15 mph, and isolated thunderstorms may bring heavy rain to portions of Duval County, especially near major corridors like I-295 and U.S. 1.

Localized flooding is possible in low-lying areas, and lightning poses a risk for beachgoers and outdoor workers. Residents are urged to delay yard work and secure electronics in case of brief outages.

Conditions calm slightly Tuesday night, but scattered thunderstorms return Wednesday afternoon with another round of mid-90s heat. Rain chances increase again Thursday and Friday, with showers likely each afternoon and evening. Rain coverage peaks Friday with a 70% chance of storms.

Daily highs remain in the low 90s through Saturday, maintaining heat index values above 100°F. Air conditioning checks, hydration, and flexible travel plans are recommended.

⚠️ Expect frequent afternoon delays on I-10 and I-295 due to wet pavement and reduced visibility during storms.
