Here’s what Action News Jax First Alert Weather Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh said we can expect in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia:
- Will not take much more rain to cause flooding since the ground is saturated after as much as 10 to 15 inches of rain during the past week.
- Expect several but pretty fast-moving bands of heavier showers with gusty winds Tuesday evening. A couple of persistent bands into Nassau, Duval, and St. Johns counties could drop a quick inch or more, but most spots will have less.
- Rain, a few thunderstorms late Tuesday into early Wednesday -- after 2 to 3 a.m. through at least midday Wednesday. Becoming widespread and potential for at least a quick 1 to 2 inches, more in some places. Flood threat looks high during this time.
- Rain and storms should become more scattered in the afternoon, but still locally heavy.
- Gusty winds with any shower bands, or thunderstorms could uproot a few trees due to saturated ground.
