Action News Jax’s First Alert Weather Team is tracking a hot Memorial Day Weekend.
First Alert Meteorologist Trevor Gibbs says temperatures Saturday morning are in the 70s and will rise into the mid-90s later. With humidity, temperatures will feel like 100 degrees.
There will be plenty of sunshine Saturday with scattered showers and late-day storms for Southeast Georgia. These systems will shift into Northeast Florida after sunset. An isolated strong storm is also possible.

It will be dry and hot area-wide on Sunday and Memorial Day. Highs each afternoon will rise into the mid-90s with feels-like temperatures near 100 degrees.
Likewise, the sun angle is almost as high as it gets during the year, so Gibbs says there is a very high to extreme UV Index and a short time for sunburns. Be sure to wear your sunscreen!
