LIVE RADAR: Storms fade tonight before Sunday’s return

Mother’s Day poised for a full soaking

JACKSONVILLE, FLA – Severe storms have ended, but thunderstorms will linger over southern Georgia as they track north away from Jacksonville.

This second act of today’s wet weather performance will spin down overnight. However, in Southeast Georgia, a few scattered showers may linger well into the overnight hours.

Saturday morning rain totals of 2-3 inches reported in Duval county.

Another round of late night showers is also possible overnight potentially developing over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. If this activity organizes, it could approach the Florida Big Bend and Nature Coast regions closer to sunrise on Sunday, particularly between 4 and 7 AM and work toward inland north Florida in the morning. This would be part of a broader pattern of persistent moisture advection and instability being funneled in by a warm, humid south-southeasterly low-level flow.

Overnight temperatures inland will generally settle between 65 and 70 degrees, while coastal areas—especially along the First Coast and Intracoastal—will remain in the lower 70s under a blanket of patchy low clouds.

Mother's Day afternoon and evening rainy forecast

Even if storms don’t reach our area early Mother’s Day, the unsettled pattern remains, and any early morning clearing may be short-lived. We’ll be monitoring for more rain Sunday afternoon which is sure to soak us as the day heats up.
