Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the First Alert Weather forecast:

• Onshore winds have brought spotty showers here and there during the day today
• We also have a HIGH rip current risk with rough surf at the beaches
• Rain will mostly shift inland this evening and taper off tonight
• The winds change direction tomorrow, calming things down at the beach
• We’ll see some rain & storms, but not a lot
• The best chance to see heavy rain will be along & south of I-10
• We have rain & storms in the forecast each day into next week
• But it doesn’t look like a ton of rain
• There isn’t one day that’s really sticking out to me as super wet & stormy
• Temps do warm up above average, between 92-95 each day

TROPICS

• Tropical Storm Chantal was upgraded this morning, becoming the third named storm of the season
• It’s 200 miles NE of Jacksonville, tracking toward the Carolinas
• Landfall will happen Sunday, then it will move inland and weaken
• Locally, rough seas and surf continue Saturday evening
• Then Chantal moves too far away, and we’ll see offshore winds & calmer beaches on Sunday
• There are no other local impacts from Chantal – the rain we’re seeing is not directly from Chantal
• There are no other areas to watch in the tropics
