Deep westerly flow prevailed over the region with an upper trough to the north and a ridge axis to the south. The anomalously moist airmass, with PWATs near 2.2 inches, remained over the region. Dense clouds were advected across much of the area Tuesday morning in the westerly flow. Cloudiness limited heating across southeast Georgia whereas northeast Florida experienced breaks in the cloud deck allowing for delayed diurnal destabilization. Storms were diurnally initiated across north central Florida in the afternoon due to less cloud cover over that area. Late start for the sea breezes, with them pushing inland late afternoon into evening.  Weak westerly flow allowed the Atlantic sea breeze to move inland to the St. Johns River basin. Diurnally driven storms in north central Florida lifted north and interacted with the sea breeze boundary in the evening. Slow-moving storms produced heavy rainfall and caused street flooding in Marion, Alachua and Clay counties. These storms produced about 2.5 to 4 inches of rain. A stronger storm in Marion county damaged a metal roof. Another stronger storm produced penny sized hail in Duval. Lightning struck a teenager in Duval causing injuries.
