JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The First Coast's Most Accurate Weather Team is issuing a Weather Impact Alert for Tuesday, Aug. 13. As we have seen over nearly the last week, the heat continues to dominate Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia with a high humidity. This will make for heat indices over 110 degrees at times. Couple that with the fact people will be heading to their first day of school in Clay County, ultimately making for a busy day.
WHEN: Tuesday, Aug 13. from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
IMPACT: Heat index values to reach in the dangerous range between 108 and 112 degrees.
NEED: Stay hydrated and take plenty of breaks from the sun and the outdoors. Extended time outside without breaks or shade could lead to heat-related illnesses.
