Jacksonville's Morning News Tuesday, April 22 - Jax Beach weighs smoking, parking restrictions
The WOKV Payroll Payout, Sponsored by Mark Spain Real Estate, continues with five chances to win $1,000. Listen for the keyword at 8:00 am, 10:00 am, 12:00 pm, 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm. Three Big Things to Know: Jacksonville Beach is trying to address complaints residents have about semi-trucks. The city council met yesterday to discuss a parking restriction on A1A. It would ban semi-trucks from parking for more than four hours between 25th Ave South and the county line. Neighbors say the trucks are taking up too many parking spots and making too much noise. The ordinance passed its first reading last night. Another ordinance would prohibit almost every way a person could smoke tobacco on beach property. However, state law doesn't allow a local ban on unfiltered cigars. Four people are hurt after an apparent gas explosion in Clay County. A house on Sycamore Way was damaged in last night's explosion. Clay County Fire Rescue says two adults and two children were taken to the hospital, but there's no word on their conditions. The State Fire Marshal is investigating. Walgreens will pay hundreds of millions of dollars in what's described as a landmark civil settlement. The pharmacy chain agreed to pay 300 million dollars to resolve allegations it illegally filled millions of invalid prescriptions for opioids. Walgreens is also accused of trying to get Medicare and other federal health care programs to pay for the invalid prescriptions.

First Alert Weather: A warming trend is here, with some rain in view
The First Alert Weather Team is tracking a warming trend (finally!) throughout the next week, and a few days of rain. 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. [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] Here's a look at your First Alert 7-Day Forecast: TONIGHT: A Few Clouds, Cool.
