First Alert Weather: Showers and dreary weather roll right into the work week

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — We’ve already had heavy rain and storms in the area on Sunday.

Portions of the Jax Metro saw 1-2″ of rain midday and early afternoon.

As of 5 p.m., rain is focused south of I-10. But that rain continues to push eastward toward the ocean.

We can’t rule out at least isolated showers this evening and overnight.

Clouds and rain stick around Monday, near the coast in the morning and moving toward I-95 midday/afternoon.

The week stays fairly cloudy, humid and wet – widespread flooding threat looks low.

There may be some local “aggravation” if rain gets heavy over spots that have already flooded.

We may finally see more in terms of sunshine next weekend, but there will still be some rain.
