Mostly dry over inland areas as coastal showers continue. Locally heavy rain along our coastal counties has led to areas receiving 2 - 5 inches of rain. A Flood Advisory is in effect in Nassau County, from around Yulee to Becker, including parts of 200 and US 17, through 10:15 p.m.
Rounds of rain with embedded thunderstorms developed over most of the viewing area today. Lightning was limited, though we had a couple of good downpours that turned puddles into ponds and left standing water on roadways. Radar estimates for the area near Russell Sampson Rd. in St. Johns County show 3-5 inches.
Coverage was lighter over southeast Georgia, with rain totals of around 0.25 to 1 inch. Across northeast Florida, some of the heaviest rain fell south of I-10, with some areas receiving more than 2 inches.
