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. Hurricane season goes through November 30, you can find ways to prepare from our First Alert meteorologists by clicking here.

Threat of large hail, damaging winds and flooding returns Tuesday across North Texas
Another round of severe storms, bringing hail and damaging winds on track to hit North Texas Another round of severe storms, bringing hail and damaging winds on track to hit North Texas Another round of severe storms, bringing hail and damaging winds on track to hit North Texas Good Monday morning! Luckily, the day starts quietly on Monday after Sunday night's severe storms. Numerous hail reports were focused on Parker and southern Tarrant counties. Hail sizes ranged from a dime to a baseball! Monday is the break in between the storms with lots of sunshine in the afternoon and highs in the lower 90s. The break is short-lived as the First Alert Weather Team is tracking the next round of strong to severe storms Tuesday afternoon into the evening hours. Tuesday is a First Alert Weather Day due to the threat of large hail, damaging winds, and localized flooding. The greatest severe threat is for areas along and west of I-35, where storms will initiate. It could be a bumpy evening commute for some on Tuesday as storms develop off a dryline to our west and along an incoming front. Storms will track east overnight, but the front will stall out east of I-35, remaining the focus for more showers and storms on Wednesday. Areas west of I-35 will mainly see mostly cloudy skies and slightly cooler temperatures with highs in the lower 80s. The active pattern remains through the rest of the work week with rain chances focused along the Red River into the weekend. Have a great day!
