First Alert Weather: Breezy Sunday with brief showers, high rip current risk throughout the week

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Today’s weather pattern mirrors yesterday, with gusty onshore winds bringing a few brief showers, primarily south of Jacksonville. Beachgoers should know the continued high risk of rip currents and dangerous surf conditions at all area beaches.

High temperatures today will reach the upper 70s to near 80°F, and this trend will continue for the next several days. A dry cold front is expected to pass through on Thursday, which will bring slightly cooler temperatures to the region.
