JACKSONVILLE, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 If it\u2019s feeling windy where you are, you\u2019re not alone. It\u2019s another windy day for Jacksonville and especially for the coastline, with wind gusts still expected to reach the upper 20s throughout the day. <\/p>\n

Coastal areas could see the strongest gusts, so it\u2019s a good idea to take extra care, whether you\u2019re driving or heading to the beach.<\/p>\n

Even as winds drop slightly from yesterday, they\u2019ll still be strong enough to create rough surf and make travel a little tough\u2014especially when the wind catches your car.<\/p>\n

Sustained winds are already registered in the teens, and gusts near the coast are forecast to push up to 27 mph around noon.<\/p>\n

Those gusty breezes will also move inland from Georgia right down through Palatka and into the Jacksonville metro area. <\/p>\n

Conditions are likely to stay breezy through the evening, so folks heading out should stay alert, especially with a high rip current risk along the beaches. <\/p>\n

Expect air temperatures around 88 degrees, water temperature at 82 degrees, and those rip currents staying high through the day.<\/p>\n

Rain and storm potential in the forecast<\/b><\/p>\n

It won\u2019t just be the wind to watch. There\u2019s a chance for showers and a couple of stronger storms, mainly moving in from the coast through St. Augustine and up toward Jacksonville. <\/p>\n

Most of the rain is expected to stay on the lighter side, but isolated downpours could pack a punch with locally heavy rain, lightning, and yes, even more gusty winds.<\/p>\n

Temperature trends and longer-term outlook<\/b><\/p>\n

Temperatures in Jacksonville started off near 70 degrees, with the coast warming even faster\u2014almost reaching 80 degrees early in the day. <\/p>\n

Expect highs in the mid-80s for Jacksonville, with coastal spots heating up quickly under partly cloudy and breezy skies. <\/p>\n

The break from hotter weather is expected to be short-lived; Exact Track 4D outlooks show temperatures climbing back into the 90s by Thursday and into the mid-90s for the weekend. <\/p>\n

Anyone making outdoor plans later this week will want to brace for the return of Florida heat and humidity.<\/p>\n

Tracking the Tropics<\/b><\/p>\n

The Weather Authority is keeping an eye on an area in the Atlantic with the potential for tropical development. <\/p>\n

Right now, conditions are not favorable for immediate intensification.<\/p>\n
