Rounds of rain will continue through late tonight. Rain with storms associated with an area of instability will ride along and near the FL/GA line. Light rain and isolated embedded storms have already spread eastward along and north of I-10.
The intensity and coverage of thunderstorms will increase through the rest of the evening along I-75. The potential continues for isolated strong to severe storms capable of strong wind gusts of 40-60 mph, isolated tornadoes, and small hail. Most of the rain tonight will be light to moderate with embedded storms through the evening hours before activity shifts south and offshore between 10 pm and midnight.
Overnight convection will take a break before the next round pushes across the Panhandle and into the Suwannee Valley toward daybreak. Active weather continues Tuesday and Wednesday as a warm front lifts northward, followed by a cold front moving in from the northwest on Wednesday.
Models are indicating an early start to thunderstorms on Tuesday with our westernmost counties seeing strong to isolated severe potential beginning just before sunrise. Storms will sweep eastward across NE FL and SE GA through the morning and early afternoon with damaging winds and locally heavy rainfall being the primary hazards.
The Storm Prediction Center upgraded most of NE FL/SE GA to a ‘Slight’ risk for severe weather Tuesday. Rain and thunderstorm chances will linger through the evening, as the front progresses southeastward overnight.
Wednesday morning the rain chances will be mainly limited to northeast Florida through sunset. Several rounds of heavy rainfall and training thunderstorms will create a risk for localized flooding.
Rainfall totals will average around 2-3 inches west of the River with 1.5 - 2 inches possible from I-95 to the beaches.
Gusty southwesterly winds and clearing skies behind the front will allow a warm-up in temperatures Wednesday, with highs reaching the upper 80s to lower 90s area-wide.
