Tropical Storm Arthur tracks toward Texas<\/p>\n
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 Hi, it\u2019s Katie Garner with The Weather Authority, here to give you your latest News4JAX forecast.<\/p>\n Tropical Storm Arthur is the first named storm for the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season. As of the 11 a.m. advisory, Arthur is taking aim at the western Gulf, expected to have the biggest impacts for Texas and Louisiana, where much of the heavy rain is falling.<\/p>\n Right now, Arthur is moving slowly northeast at about 9 miles an hour, with maximum winds around 40 miles an hour. As the storm comes onto land, it\u2019s expected to weaken and lose traction, so impacts here in Northeast Florida are not likely.<\/p>\n Jacksonville\u2019s local weather outlook<\/p>\n While Arthur isn\u2019t expected to directly affect us, we\u2019re still seeing that classic summer pattern here in Jacksonville and all across Northeast Florida.<\/p>\n Heat and rain are in the forecast for today, and the clouds are sticking around. If you\u2019re in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, or Brunswick, you\u2019ll notice temperatures in the mid-80s by lunchtime. Waycross is a little cooler this hour at 79 degrees.<\/p>\n Exact Track 4D shows shower activity<\/p>\n Taking a look at Exact Track 4D radar, showers and storms are scattered from Brunswick all the way down I-95 through Kingsland, over toward Callahan and Macclenny, then onward toward Live Oak and up near Fargo and Lake City.<\/p>\n The radar\u2019s been finicky this morning but I\u2019ll keep tracking these bands as they move through and will bring you a closer look later on.<\/p>\n
