Storms west of Jacksonville may threaten Clay and western Duval through 7pm

Jacksonville's weekend weather forecast looks less rainy

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – That was quick, the severe thunderstorm warning lasted about 14 minutes, but the impact was clear. Heavy rains occurred along the eastside of I-295 East (Arlington to Ft. Caroline to UNF). That has prompted a flood warning for that area until 6pm.

If you live in this area, large ponds of water are along many roads. The rain in this area will fade slowly...
