First Alert Weather: A warming trend is here, with some rain in view
Sunday began with a cold start, but warmed up nicely with some sunshine. This morning was the first morning in 5 days that Jacksonville didn't freeze.
This afternoon was the first day in a week that Jacksonville temperatures made it into the 60s.
Tonight will be chilly, but not as cold and no threat for a freeze anywhere locally.
Clouds will increase a bit during the day Monday, but temperatures will still be manageable in the 60s.
A few light showers will push into SE GA with a weakening storm system mid-morning through the afternoon. Don't expect rain in Jacksonville.
Temperatures will gradually warm into the 70s by Wednesday, before being knocked down briefly due to onshore winds Thursday.
We warm right back up into the 70s by Friday & the weekend. First Alert Meteorologist Corey Simma is tracking a few showers Friday into Saturday, which is a change from the forecast yesterday.
There's still a lot to work out with the rain the next few days. Right now, it doesn't look like much, but stay tuned.

Isolated, severe thunderstorms may bring NYC area downpours, localized flooding
It's a First Alert Weather Day Wednesday due to the threat of isolated, severe thunderstorms. Click here to check the latest watches, warnings and alerts. It'll be warm and muggy Wednesday morning, with highs expected to rise to 89 degrees. The morning warmth will give way to a hot and sticky with scattered showers and thunderstorms developing north and west, and gradually working their way toward New York City for the evening commute. Downpours could lead to localized flooding, and there may be locally damaging winds. With all the humidity, it will feel like the low-to-mid 90s. The activity will wind down through the evening, with just a leftover shower here or there overnight. Thursday is shaping up to be another hot and humid day with the chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Friday's looking a bit better. It'll be mostly sunny and warm, but still humid. The highs will be in the upper 80s. Tropical Storm Erin is projected to become the first Atlantic hurricane of the season by Thursday night, and a major hurricane by this weekend. Fortunately, there's no imminent threat to the U.S. mainland, but it will need to be monitored through next week.

Maryland sweating it out with heat, humidity, and a few storms
Muggy air returned in full force Monday across Maryland. We're waking-up up to tropical humidity and warm temperatures. Patchy morning low clouds and fog will burn off to partly sunny weather this afternoon. Highs will top out near 90°. Very high humidity levels will be the big story of this seven day forecast. In addition to heat and humidity, the WJZ First Alert Weather Team will closely be tracking the strength and projected path and intensity of Tropical Storm Erin. By the weekend, rip currents and rough surf will impact Atlantic Beaches, so please plan accordingly if you're Ocean bound. High humidity levels will be one constant in this forecast. The most unbearable humidity levels will be felt Wednesday and Thursday with dew points climbing into the middle to possibly upper 70s. The humidity may briefly back down a bit Friday before returning to tropical levels again over the weekend into the start of next week. Afternoon high temperatures over the next several days will generally be between 88° and 92°, which is seasonably hot for Maryland this time of year. When you factor in the high humidity levels, the feels like temperature most of this week will range from 94° to 100° during the midday and afternoon hours. Even though this heat wave will not of the severity of previous ones this summer, it's important to stay hydrated, take breaks from the heat, and check-in on pets and the elderly. A weak cold front will drape itself across our area over the next several days. This front will be to our north today, so any storms that from should be sparse in coverage and mainly north and west of Baltimore City. Another batch of isolated storms are possible along and near Chesapeake Bay along the Bay Breeze. Even though storms will be limited in coverage, any storm that does form will be capable of brief torrential downpours, gusty winds, and cloud to ground lightning. A greater chance of widely scattered showers and storms returns Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. Despite being more widespread in coverage, not every neighborhood will receive these spotty, but drenching downpours. Unlike earlier this summer, most of the storms will not be severe, so we're not expected major impacts in terms of storm damage or power outages. Friday looks quiet with dry and hot weather continuing. Isolated storms may form, mainly west of Baltimore Saturday afternoon and evening. Give high humidity levels, any of the few storms that do form could have lightning and heavy downpours. A stronger cold front will approach late Monday potentially bringing the area a more substantial batch of showers and thunderstorms late Monday into Monday night. Tropical Storm Erin formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean Monday. As of Tuesday morning, the storm is rather weak, small, and disorganized. This storm is still thousands of miles away from the mainland coast of the United States, but it's a storm worth watching based on computer model trends. The storm should experience steady strengthening through Friday as it intensifies to category 2 status over the open Atlantic Ocean by Friday morning. By Sunday morning, "Erin" could be a potentially large and dangerous major hurricane north of Puerto Rico, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and east of the southeastern coast of the United States. While it's too early to know the exact track of "Erin" and the full scope of possible direct and indirect impacts on the United States, it's safe to say the storm will have the Atlantic Ocean churned up late week into the weekend. So despite a beautiful weather weekend at the beaches, rough surf and dangerous rip currents will likely be an issue. Please only swim at beaches with lifeguards on duty and near the lifeguards. As additional new data arrives as the weekend approaches, our First Alert Weather Team will continue to update you on any changes to the storm path, intensity, and potential impacts.

Pleasant evening with increasing warmth this week
The evening remains pleasantly comfortable and dry, so it's a good night to spend some time on the patio. Areas of patchy fog are possible late tonight as well as a few more clouds as we approach dawn. The early half of the week features an area of high pressure that keeps us sunny. A south, southeasterly wind increases temperatures and humidity a bit on Monday and especially as we approach midweek. Our daytime highs register close to average for this time of year in the upper 80s to low 90s. A disturbance on Wednesday coupled with the heat and humidity could produce a few afternoon showers or thunderstorms. Thursday brings another chance of rain before what looks like a drier end to the work week. Stay with the First Alert Weather Team as we transition from this fall teaser back to summer this week.
