JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – High probabilities of rain and the potential for heavy rainfall is high the next 6 days (yes, through the Labor Day Weekend).
Timing will shift around from one day to the next, but with deep tropical moisture still hanging around the area, we should see the concentration of storms during the afternoon and evening hours.

This is actually not typical, by the first week of September we usually see at least one cold front flirt with Northeast Florida. The cold front’s impact is in the form of heavy coastal winds and rains.
Most know these are called “nor’easter’s” as our winds are dominate out of the northeast.
Often times, the rainfall amounts are excessive, more than 4″ and winds along the coast can exceed 40 mph.
Ugh weather indeed, but those days seem weeks away, as deep tropical weather conditions continue.
There are no really decent “hints” of a major cold front heading our way through the 15th of September.
Right through this weekend, morning temperatures will start around 75° and afternoon highs will reach the low 90s (normal high is 88°) with rain chances building after the lunch hour here in Jacksonville, but earlier west of Jacksonville.
Many folks, when it is all said and done next week, will see 2-4″ of rain in total. Some will see closer to 6″ of rain.
