A few showers and storms will develop near/west of Interstate 75 later Wednesday evening.

Showers and storms will move toward the Jacksonville metro area early Thursday, including the morning commute.

Localized flooding is still possible with local rain amounts of 1-2-plus inches.

The rain leaves Thursday late morning and into midday. Then the sun comes out.

Good Friday will be a touch cooler but sunny.

We stay nice and sunny and warm through Easter Weekend.

The next rain chance isn’t in view until next Wednesday.
