Major downpours and cooler temperatures are expected across Northeast Florida and South Georgia, with the heaviest rainfall expected from Friday through Saturday. Most of the rain is expected to be in Georgia, particularly in Brantley County, but it's moving towards Florida. Rain chances are expected to increase from 30 percent to 80 percent by Saturday, with temperatures expected to drop as drier air arrives in from the north. This is good news for those hoping for relief from drought conditions. However, wind gusts are being closely watched for their impact on wildfires, which can pose health and lung issues. The high is expected for 85 degrees, but cooler air is likely to fall behind the rain, with weekend highs expected to fall to 81 degrees and 70s.
