Severe Storms Approaching Jacksonville This Weekend: What You Need to Know

Hey there, Jacksonville residents! It looks like stormy weather is on the horizon as we head into the weekend. If you have plans for Sunday, particularly if you’re thinking about catching the Jaguars game, you might want to keep an eye on the sky. Here’s what you need to know!

Storm System Heading Our Way

Right now, a significant low-pressure storm system is affecting regions in Texas and causing some flight delays at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. This weather pattern is moving east and is expected to hit Jacksonville on Sunday afternoon. So, if you’re in the Jacksonville area, be prepared for some wet weather!

Game Day Weather Woes

Sunday is the last home game for the Jaguars, and it appears that heavy rain may dampen the spirits at TIAA Bank Field. Tailgating festivities may very well turn into a splash zone, so bring those raincoats and umbrellas! It’s wise to plan accordingly for a soggy Sunday when you’re prepping for the game.

Thunderstorms and More

The National Weather Service has issued a Weather Impact Alert Day for Sunday, December 29, from around 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. During this time, you can expect a line of rain and storms to traverse the First Coast. There’s a good chance of isolated strong to severe thunderstorms popping up in Southeast Georgia as well after lunchtime. So, if you’ve got outdoor plans, you might want to rethink them. Keep an eye on the radar!

Potential Risks Ahead

This storm system brings with it some serious risks, including heavy winds, gusts, and, yes, the dreaded potential for tornadoes. A tornado watch is currently in effect for the First Coast until 3 p.m. on Sunday, so be vigilant. The air will be moist and charged, creating conditions that could lead to unexpected weather events. It’s always better to be safe than sorry!

Morning Showers to Afternoon Storms

As the storm approaches, residents may encounter isolated rain and storms early Sunday morning, followed by a more substantial line of storms moving through during the late morning to early afternoon hours. Make sure to stay informed about the changing conditions.

Conditions Expected to Improve

The good news is that after the cold front moves through and pushes off-shore by late Sunday afternoon, winds and temperatures are expected to return to normal by Monday. So, hang in there! The storms will pass, and we’ll be back to our typical Jacksonville weather before you know it.

Stay Safe This Weekend

As always, it’s crucial to stay alert during severe weather. Monitor the radar, and if you hear thunder, find shelter right away. It’s essential to keep your loved ones and yourself safe. With these stormy forecasts, we recommend checking in with neighbors and making sure everyone has what they need ahead of Sunday’s weather.

In summary, despite the rain and storms looming over Jacksonville this weekend, let’s not forget to enjoy what we can. Whether you’re tailgating in the rain or cheering for the Jaguars despite the weather, let’s stick together as a community. Stay safe and dry, folks!
