Dewpoints, even with the potential for showers, will remain in the mid-50s.

SUNDAY
Unfortunately, Sunday looks to feature a good chance of showers throughout the event day on the St Johns River, but amounts don’t look to be all that heavy at this point. Skies will be mainly cloudy with temperatures starting off in the upper 50s (58º) at launch and climbing into the lower 70s (72º) by the afternoon.
