Jacksonville, FL – Storms and sizzling summer heat will collide Sunday afternoon across Northeast Florida, putting drivers and outdoor plans at risk.
According to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop after 2 p.m. Sunday, July 6, following a hot and mostly sunny morning with highs near 92°F. Winds from the west up to 9 mph could accompany sudden downpours, lightning, and brief gusty winds — especially along I-95, where reduced visibility and slick conditions may cause delays.
Jacksonville residents should charge mobile devices, avoid afternoon travel if possible, and stay indoors if thunder roars. Showers and storms may linger into the evening, with chances increasing again Monday and Tuesday.
By Monday, a 30% chance of afternoon storms will give way to clearer skies by night, but Tuesday ramps up again, with a 50% chance of storms both afternoon and evening. Daily highs will remain in the low to mid-90s, and humidity will keep the heat index climbing.
Rain chances rise midweek, especially Wednesday through Friday, with scattered storms likely each afternoon. This classic Florida summer pattern could lead to brief flooding in low-lying areas and disruptions to evening commutes.
