First wave of storms clear the area

Evening pause then more rain overnight into morning

.

Severe storms have pushed offshore this afternoon with lower potential for rain into the evening over NE FL. Storms will linger in Putnam County and Flagler counties.

We are facing two rounds of rain coverage. The first this afternoon with scattered showers and t-storms. Storms this evening will focus in southern Georgia.

Those that develop through 6 pm to 7 pm will likely stay north of Jacksonville into southern Georgia early this evening. Then a break or lull after sunset is followed by a second late night line of rain and storms moving southward from Georgia into the River City early tomorrow morning. Rounds of rain will start as early as 2 a.m. in SE GA, then track south making for wet conditions for the morning commute around NE FL.

A cold front passes by so the rain won’t last much past mid-morning Thursday. While most of the rain clears some of it lingers by lunch around Putnam through southern St. Johns by lunchtime. Skies turn sunnier late in the afternoon with breezy WNW winds and cooler highs in the 70s.

Thursday’s cold front brings an end to the rain with dry weather settling in for the weekend and lasting through next week. Gear up for a windy Friday and those cooler 70 degree days stick around all weekend with colder nights in the 40s-50s.
