Cloudy, Cool and a Bit Wet

By Steve Smith First Coast News

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- The cloud cover is hanging in but we could get a few breaks this afternoon and that may push temps into the 70s. If not, our highs today will be in the 60s. Temperatures are mild through the week but the cloud cover will be persistent.

A trough off shore is weakening and moving north. This has relaxed the winds and may bring sprikles to the coast.

Overcast skies, windy at times, some rain with highs near 74 if we get some breaks in the clouds this afternoon. If not, we will be lucky to see 70.

A trough near the Gulf Stream will move on shore through the early afternoon. This will bring more rain but decrease the winds.

Wind Advisories have been cancelled. But the cloud cover and cool temps persist.

Late Wednesday into Thursday a front moves in. This could increase thunderstorm chances. Meanwhile Saturday and Sunday look a bit drier, rain chances then about 30%.
