Read the full account →A frontal boundary was draped across north Florida as a strong short wave trough passed overhead. A flood watch was in effect due to already saturated ground where 2-3 inches of rainfall occurred over the past 2 days, prior to the flooding rainfall that occurred with this event.

Read the full account →Surface high pressure to the southeast and a front approaching southeast Georgia resulted in southwesterly flow across the area. The east coast sea breeze was pinned along the I-95 corridor as the dominant west coast sea breeze shifted inland in the afternoon.
Read the full account →Southwesterly flow prevailed with the high pressure ridge extending over the area from the Bermuda high. This flow regime kept the Atlantic sea breeze pinned to the coastline with the sea breeze merger happening east of I-95.
Read the full account →A trough across north-central Florida lifted northward through the day. An anomalously moist airmass (PWATs near 2.2 inches) remained over the area. Weak east-southeasterly flow led to a dominant Atlantic coast sea breeze shifting inland in the afternoon.
