JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —

We will be tracking thunderstorms with no organized or widespread severe weather expected but keep your guard up for a gusty storm or two and some tough driving this afternoon and early evening. When in doubt sit it out! #FCNStorm @FCN2go pic.twitter.com/xpu5RR33Qd

Here’s your First Coast Forecast: We have four seasons in the next week. Today is the transition day with Spring thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Highs from 70 in Waycross to the lower 80s on the Southside. The main impacts will be lightning with a quick .25 to .50" of rain along with wind gusts of 40-50 mph.

Now that we are heading into February the best part of this time of year is it does not stay cold very long. Our warmer weather arrives in time for the weekend after a cold start! #FCNStorm @FCN2go pic.twitter.com/3IGe5Rf0W5
