⚠️ WEATHER UPDATE ⚠️

October 25, 2026

Significant coastal weather impacts continue across Duval County, with the greatest tidal flooding expected today into Monday. A Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect as strong northeast winds and king tides bring moderate to locally major flooding along the coast, Intracoastal Waterway and St. Johns River Basin.

Flooding is most likely within two hours before and after high tide, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone areas. Wind gusts around 40 mph are possible along the coast, along with dangerous surf, life-threatening rip currents and significant beach erosion.

Residents in vulnerable areas should take precautions and move vehicles and valuables to higher ground before water begins to rise. Use extra caution when driving high-profile vehicles, especially on bridges and elevated roadways. Ocean conditions remain life-threatening, so stay out of the water. If you encounter flooded roadways, Turn Around, Don’t Drown!

Stay safe, stay informed, and stay JaxReady.

October 9, 2026

A Flood Watch is in effect through tonight as additional heavy rainfall could bring localized flooding, especially in areas already saturated from days of rain. Minor coastal and tidal flooding continues along the coast and St. Johns River, with dangerous surf and rip currents also expected.

As Hurricane Isaias moves north through the Gulf of Mexico, additional moisture could bring periods of heavy rain and isolated severe thunderstorms to our area through Saturday. Damaging wind gusts and brief tornadoes are also possible.

With more rain on the way, please use caution in low-lying and flood-prone areas. Avoid flooded roadways, move vehicles and belongings to higher ground where needed, and have multiple ways to receive weather alerts.

Stay informed, stay safe, and stay JaxReady.

October 7, 2026

A Flood Watch is in effect for Duval County through 6 p.m. today.

Several rounds of heavy rain have already left parts of Jacksonville saturated, and additional rainfall could quickly lead to flooding, especially in low-lying and poor-drainage areas. Higher tides may also make it harder for water to drain.

As the rain continues:

⚠️ Turn around, don’t drown. Never drive or walk through flooded roadways.
⚠️ Stay out of flood water. It may contain chemicals, waste, dangerous objects or animals.
⚠️ Avoid electrical hazards. Stay away from downed power lines and electrical equipment near standing water.
⚠️ Move to higher ground. Move vehicles and important belongings out of flood-prone areas before water begins to rise.
⚠️ Stay weather aware. Conditions can change quickly. Keep up with the latest forecast and alerts.

We’re also keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Isaias and the potential for additional rainfall later this week.

Stay safe, stay informed, and stay JaxReady.

🌧️A wet and windy few days are ahead, Jacksonville.

Periods of heavy rain are expected through Wednesday evening, with 2–5 inches forecast and locally higher amounts possible. Increasing northeast winds, king tides and elevated water levels could also lead to coastal and tidal flooding through the end of the week.

If you live or work in a low-lying or flood-prone area, now is the time to prepare. Move vehicles and other items to higher ground, and never drive through flooded roadways.

Stay safe and stay JaxReady.
