Read the full account →A front was stalled across north-central FL with high pressure north of the region with an upper level trough aloft. Continued elevated moisture content and slow storm motion produced training bands of heavy rainfall in increasingly strong onshore flow, with a concentrated band…
Read the full account →Heavy rains of eight to ten inches caused several roads to flood in the north part of the county Sunday night. Parts of U. S. Hwy 29 near Cantonment had to be closed due to high water. The highway was reopened Monday morning after the water had time to drain.
Read the full account →As a frontal boundary sits to the north in the Florida Peninsula, there was abundant moisture across southern Florida. With diurnally driven instability and plentiful moisture, there were numerous heavy downpours and thunderstorms.
Read the full account →A weak surface front was near the FL-GA state-line with moist, unstable conditions south of the boundary across NE FL. Diurnally enhanced storms further intensified into the afternoon and early evening as a short-wave trough moved across the area from the west.
