The tropical flow continues from the south to southwest. Cooler air aloft will increase storm potential to harbor hail. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over NE FL and SE GA with the potential for strong to marginally severe storms. The main impacts expected will be hail, strong downburst wind gusts of 40 to 60 mph and locally heavy rainfall. A marginal risk of excessive rain has been placed over the Suwannee River valley where rain begin early. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches in those areas. Light southerly winds less than 5 mph this morning will veer to the SW around 5 to 10 mph by the late morning hours across the area with the Atlantic sea breeze pinned near the coast east of I-95 where light south to SE winds around 5 to 10 mph will collide with a round of convection moving in from the Gulf during the late morning through midday hours and with storm development along and east of Highway 301 during the afternoon.
Today: A cloudy, damp start will lead to scattered showers and storms, 60-80 percent. Showers with strong to isolated severe storms will form inland and then move northeast toward highway 301, I-95 and the beaches. Afternoon highs in the upper 80s to low 90s inland with upper 80s along our beaches. Wind S/SW/ 10-15 mph. Humid with patchy fog late as storms fade.
