Jacksonville Faces Persistent Showers, Thunderstorms Labor Day Weekend

Central Florida and Jacksonville are facing a prolonged period of unsettled weather with increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms through the Labor Day weekend and into early next week. Jacksonville residents should expect daily afternoon storms, with rain chances as high as 80 percent on Saturday and continued rainfall into Sunday and Monday, potentially accumulating between 1 and 4 inches. Morning hours are generally clearer, offering the best opportunity for outdoor activities before afternoon storms intensify. Similarly, Baton Rouge is experiencing showers and thunderstorms early in the Labor Day weekend due to a lingering frontal boundary, with rainfall amounts predicted between 1.5 and 3 inches and a slight flood risk in some areas. While rain coverage is expected to diminish by Labor Day itself in Baton Rouge, Central Florida and Jacksonville will continue to see scattered storms, cooler temperatures, and high humidity. Residents in these regions are advised to prepare for persistent wet conditions that could disrupt outdoor plans during the holiday weekend.
