Now the first coast's most accurate forecast from the first coast news weather team certified by weather rate sponsored by AC designs. Well, most of us have the gray and within that gray there are some heavy bands and heavily laden clouds. But again, those showers, those downpours are dropping toward the south. We saw the heaviest of the rains and through much of the morning in the middle afternoon, pretty much from Fernandina to the beaches of Duval, then spread inland to the north side and the west side and now they're gonna spread south. And that means for those of you, uh, north side to Fernandina, your heaviest rains are pretty much coming over with for the next several hours, maybe through the night tonight. On the other hand, those of you, especially in northern Saint John's County, right along highway 17 in Clay County. Down to Saint Augustine, you have several hours of the showers and occasional downpours to go. Let's expand the picture just for a moment to take a look at the tropics just to let you know what all is going on there. Now, there's two systems over the Far Atlantic, at least one of them, maybe both could become at least a tropical depression, probably more over the next couple of days. However, for the next week, at least they're gonna do whatever they're gonna do. Well out over the tropical Atlantic here is Francine. Unfortunately, gonna become at least a cat two that's headed toward Louisiana. So we'll keep you updated for the tropics, but at least for the next seven days, that's not a concern for us. Our main weather concern continues to be the wet front that arrived last Tuesday and all the way, it's gonna be well, continuing to move south to north. It's gonna continue to be the main event. But if you're doing some traveling, let's just follow where the damaging winds will be as forecast. Think, think uh New Iberia to the western suburbs of New Orleans, that would be late Wednesday into early Thursday. We'll go into the larger picture because after Francine again, not a hurricane yet, but we expect, uh Francine will become a hurricane over the next 12 hours, then become a cat to make landfall over central coastal Louisiana. But then as it heads to the north for those of you traveling, although winds will no longer be a problem, flooding rains, think little Rock Memphis and Saint Louis. Here's another way to look at it, but now focus on the first coast. So here is our wet front. Our wet front is briefly dropping to the south by far. The greatest news is unlike 60 years ago, when we adora hitting us, the last time a hurricane made a direct land falling hit here, Francine will not be hitting us. So that's the good news, right? Bad news for our folks in Louisiana and then points northward. However, as Francine heads northward, then the front that had headed south and will through tomorrow will begin to lift back to the north. And that's why if you're wondering when our next weather impact alert day will be probably Wednesday. Now, I'm not saying tomorrow is gonna be a perfect dry day. There'll still be some showers around but more sun. And I think overall, you're gonna call Tuesday a lull compared to what we've had and then what we're going to have on Wednesday and probably into Thursday and probably into Friday. Now, if you have to get some outdoor work done Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, I think Wednesday will be the day of the most widespread heavy rain. And again, no walk in a park on Thursday and Friday, but maybe a bit of a decrease on the 12th. And then on football Friday over the weekend still gonna be a few showers around, but it may be relatively bright, but we're still gonna deal with that front. Looks like it's gonna settle right back into the first coast early next week.
