A weak cold front moves in Wednesday, bringing a low chance for rain & storms

First Alert Weather: A wet couple of days ahead for the Jacksonville area
The rain and storms caused a mess Tuesday afternoon, with a tree falling on Interstate 95 in St. Johns County. WATCH THE FORECAST | DOWNLOAD THE APPS Here's what the First Alert Weather Team said we can expect the rest of the week: Scattered heavy showers and storms into early Tuesday night across Northeast Florida, then scattered lingering showers overnight thanks to high humidity and a steady wind out of the SE off the Atlantic. Southeast Georgia will begin Tuesday evening mostly dry, but showers and a few storms will increase overnight. Wednesday and Thursday will be mostly cloudy and muggy with on-and-off showers, a few storms. Tropical downpours will result in some locally heavy rainfall and will help keep temperatures lower, 80-85 degrees. Friday turns drier with more sun and temperatures getting back to 90+ degrees with only an isolated shower or storm. INTERACTIVE RADAR: Keep track of the rain as it moves through your neighborhood TROPICS: (1) An area of weak low pressure will develop the next couple days northeast of Jacksonville & near the coast of the Carolinas. While this area has been highlighted in yellow by the NHC for a low risk of development, there will be few if any direct impacts to Jax/Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia. Tropical moisture will bring showers and storms to the local area Wednesday and Thursday with or without any low pressure actually developing. (2) keeping an eye on the Western Caribbean and Southern Gulf for possible longer-range tropical development – not likely until at least sometime next week or even later, if at all.

‘Need to be prepared for a devastating storm,' JEA, city of Jacksonville hold 3-day hurricane drill
For the next 72 hours, JEA, the city of Jacksonville, and statewide first responders are acting as if their fears have become real: a direct hit from a major storm. This year, JEA said it's revving up the storm response and emergency management training it has been doing with the city for the last 14 years. The utility said it's training to respond to an even more intense storm, as the First Alert Weather Team has already predicted a busy hurricane season. 'The National Weather Service of Jacksonville has produced a really good storm scenario for us,' Adam Pendley, JEA's manager of emergency preparedness, said. 'It involves a category two or potentially higher storm, which Jacksonville has not experienced a sense of since before the turn of the century.' [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] Action News Jax went inside JEA's emergency operations center for the first of the three day hurricane response training. Inside, JEA teams briefed on the possibility areas of Duval County could see a week or longer without power or water that would take potentially multiple days of restoration efforts to remedy. [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter] There have been no hurricanes yet this year, but part of the training for JEA is acting like there's one already on the way. 'These three days are kind of like our spring training,' Vickie Cavey, JEA's CEO, said. 'Everyone is in there acting as if they are in the storm, it's a go live kind of event.' The First Alert Weather Team said NOAA is predicting anywhere from six to ten hurricanes this year, but it only takes one to be a memorable season.

First Alert Weather: Higher humidity returning along with rain eventually increasing
Higher humidity has moved back in, along with hazy skies, thanks to the jet stream drawing smoke from Canadian wildfires south all the way to the Southeast U.S. The smoke will gradually thin and dissipate over the next day or two. WATCH THE FORECAST | DOWNLOAD THE APPS Here's what you can expect for the rest of the week: Tuesday will be very warm and humid with isolated afternoon showers. Rainfall coverage will begin to increase Tuesday night and even more so for Wednesday and Thursday, when everyone will get at least some rain. The heaviest amounts will be roughly from Interstate 95 to the beaches. Highs will be near 90 on Tuesday, then the 80s on Wednesday and Thursday. We'll go back to a more 'normal' early summer weather pattern Friday into the weekend – hot & humid with a few afternoon storms. INTERACTIVE RADAR: Keep track of the rain as it moves through your neighborhood TROPICS: (1) An area of weak low pressure will develop by midweek northeast of Jacksonville & near the coast of the Carolinas. While this area has been highlighted in yellow by the NHC for a low risk of development, there will be few, if any, direct impacts to Jacksonville/Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia. Tropical moisture will bring showers and storms to the local area with or without any low pressure actually developing. (2) Keeping an eye on the Western Caribbean and Southern Gulf for possible longer-range tropical development – not likely til at least sometime next week, if at all.
