Flood potential on the rise

Supercharged storms into the evening bring extra heavy rain

.

Parts of southern Georgia and north-central Florida have received  300-400% more than their normal seven day amount of rain.  And this after shoes no sign of backing down from adding to the washout.

Storms are moving northward slowly and cover a large swath of Clay county and will continue to fill northward over Duval and down into Putnam. Most of the rain will stay west of I-95.

Storms are crawling slowly at 5-8 mph and producing excessive amounts of rain at about 3 inches per hour. Urbanized areas with pavement may be prone to flash flooding into the evening.

The wettest areas will be from I-75 to Highway 301 with storms through 9 pm. Most activity shifts

towards the I-75 corridor where a flood watch is in effect for Baker, Bradford, Union and Alachua counties.

The rainy pattern does not let up this week. Tomorrow will be just as wet with the rain targeting Jax and the coastal areas later in the afternoon and evening.

A front sinks south our way towards Georgia on Thursday ensuring it stays wet as it stalls near the Florida border by Friday and Saturday.
