Jacksonville, Fla. – A powerful storm system will swing through the South (ultimately this storm will move up the coast and produce widespread heavy ice/snow from west of the D.C. area northward through Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Southern New England) on Wednesday.
As that transpires, a cold front will pass through Jacksonville.

Associated with that will be some briefly heavy downpours and maybe, just maybe, a severe storm (for gusty winds and possibly a brief tornado) in Putnam and Flagler counties.
Jacksonville will see a round of heavy rains, maybe a rumble of thunder during the early afternoon hours. Rainfall will be confined to about a 4 hour window from 11am-3pm. Folks west of Jacksonville, Lake City and along I-75, will see those rains earlier and those living in St. Johns and Flagler counties will see the rains later in the day. Rainfall amounts could be significant, up to 3/4″ for a few backyards.
Wednesday temperature forecast for those in Georgia will be easy, mostly in the 50s, yep a chilly, raw, cloudy day with a round of rains followed by clearing and even colder temperatures.
