Afternoon storms for southern towns

Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 5 pm

Another round of thunderstorms this afternoon may become severe south of Clay and St. Johns counties.

For those of us around Jacksonville and Georgia the day has been dry and will mainly stay that way beyond some quick passing showers in advance of a cold front that will bring in dry air tonight and all day tomorrow.

The environment south of the metro areas toward central Florida is different with moisture and heating which could trigger stronger afternoon thunderstorms.

Rain and thunderstorms are moving out of the Gulf and will spread eastward across northern central Florida this afternoon, and could be a threat for large hail and damaging winds.

Storms will likely stay between and south of Gainesville to St. Augustine focusing over Marion and Putnam counties. Showers will struggle to hold together across Duval and Clay with lower rain amounts compared to southern areas.

Dry air arrives this evening shutting out rain potential overnight and Thursday. Temps will be in the upper 80s to near 90 tomorrow.
