  warned area. Between 3 and 6 inches of rain have fallen. Flash 
  flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.

  HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by heavy rain.

  SOURCE...Doppler radar.

  IMPACT...Flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas,
           highways, streets and underpasses as well as other
           drainage and low lying areas.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Jennings, Statenville, Mayday and Needmore.

Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible in the 
warned area.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small

...FLOODING RAINFALL POTENTIAL TODAY...

...ISOLATED TORNADO POTENTIAL NE FL THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...

.UPDATE...

Deep tropical moisture over the area (PWAT over 2.3") combined
with convergence between a ridge axis north of the Atlamaha River
basin, a slowly lifting zonal trough axis across N-Central FL and
strong low level SSW flow 30-40 kts pumping moisture across the
local area all combined to produce flash flooding rain across the
Westside of Metro JAX this morning, with yet another batch of very
heavy rain moving into the Suwannee River Valley this hour.

Through the remainder of the day, the current band of heavy
rainfall north of the I-10 corridor is expected to gradually fade
in coverage and intensity low/mid level ridge strengthens
offshore of the GA/SC coasts. The focus for heavy rainfall into
the afternoon will be across the Suwannee River Valley as
evidenced by radar, with this band of precip expected to migrate
more toward the east with further convective development this
afternoon likely near the St. Johns River basin where satellite
shows thinner clouds and LAPs analysis has surface based CAPEs
already near 2k J/kg with dews pts near 79 deg at both Bunnell and
Ocala. Resultant convection this afternoon will again pose the
potential of localized flooding with our more vulnerable areas
being Hamilton & Suwannee Counties given heavy rainfall this
morning, the Black Creek Basin of Clay County, JAX metro area and
central Marion county where 4-6 inches of rain fall yesterday.

In addition to the rainfall potential, there will continue to be a
low potential for embedded rotating storms focused across our FL
zones this afternoon as daytime heating increases and the low
level jet around 850 mb increases to 30-40 kts from the SSW. Main
target area for potential tornado and wet downbursts will focus
generally east of the Highway 301 corridor and toward the NE FL
Atlantic coast including the St. Johns River basin where looks
like there will be more diurnal heating and instability favoring a
greater severe weather threat. Deep convection is expected to
lift NNE into the evening with gradually waning stratiform rainfall
across NE FL.

Cloudy skies and light ESE winds today with speeds generally 10
mph or less outside of convective activity. High temperatures
will generally only near the mid to upper 70s, with near 80
possible near the St. Johns River basin.

&&

.MARINE...

Band of showers and embedded strong storms will impact the waters
through mid afternoon. SSE winds 10-15 kts with combined seas 2-4
ft expected today, with winds veering more S tonight with lighter
winds.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

Axis of flash flooding rainfall across the Westside of Metro JAX
was waning with ground truth rainfall reports of 5-7 inches from
near the 295 Beltway near Normandy ENE toward Riverside along the
I-10 corridor. Another corridor of heavy rain in the 5-7 inch
range was across northern Suwannee, Hamilton, and Echols counties.
The next batch of heavy rain was developing ENE near the I-75
corridor and will have the potential to drop another 1-2 inches.
Potential remains for another batch of rainfall to develop near
the St. Johns basin this afternoon as well where this is currently
little rainfall.

Rivers...Will need to closely monitor the Black Creek basin for
additional rainfall input this afternoon. Current forecast for
north fork is for the site to rise just below minor flood stage
tonight into early Mon morning based on recent rainfall in the
basin. If another 1-2 inches falls this afternoon, this could
cause the basin to quickly rise into flood stage tonight or early
Monday morning.

Additional river gauges will see rises this week - including the
Santa Fe basin. Official guidance keeps locations just within
Action Stage, but area interests should monitor.

.PREV DISCUSSION [851 AM EDT]...

.NEAR TERM [Today Through Monday]...

Today...Bands of heavy showers and embedded isolated storms
extending eastward from TS Cristobal will continue track northward
through NE FL early this morning and into SE GA by the mid-late
morning hours. Locally heavy rainfall will continue to be possible
with widespread additional 1-2 inch amounts expected but generally
not organized enough to support current Flash Flood Watch along
the I-75 corridor of inland NE FL and waves of heavy rainfall will
be possible well northward enough into SE GA where significant
rainfall has yet to occur, along with enough time in between the
wave of some diurnally enhanced showers and storms this afternoon
across NE FL as temps reach into the lower 80s and surface winds
become south to southeast at 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph
as original band of rainfall this morning continues to lift
northward into SE GA.

Tonight...After sunset as southerly flow weakens aloft and any
diurnal storms fade by midnight expect mainly cloudy skies
overnight with mainly dry conditions except for a few isolated
showers over far inland areas. Mild overnight lows in the lower to
middle 70s.

Monday...Lingering moisture in the atmosphere with Precipitable
Water Amounts (PWATS) still around 2 inches, weak southerly
steering flow and daytime heating pushing Max Temps into the upper
80s/near 90 degrees, all will help to trigger Numerous afternoon
and early evening storms as both Gulf/Atlc sea breeze fronts push
inland through the day. Locally heavy downpours will continue to
remain the main threat from the thunderstorm activity as temps
remain warm aloft.

.SHORT TERM [Monday Night Through Tuesday Night]...

The remnants of Cristobal will move north over the Mississippi
River Valley with surface ridge axis extending from the western
Atlantic across south Florida. A light sw flow will prevail with
light vertical wind shear and high moisture levels remaining in
place for daily convection. With high temperatures reaching near
90 degrees, expect sea breeze fronts to move inland and become
active with scattered to numerous storms Tuesday afternoon and
evening. Slow moving cells will likely result in locally heavy
rainfall with a potential for strong winds gusts due to dry air in
mid levels.

.LONG TERM [Wednesday Through Saturday]...

Scattered diurnal convection will continue Wednesday and Thursday
with light steering winds and sufficient moisture levels remaining
in place. Highest coverage of storms will be over inland areas as
the seabreezes merge over the interior. Mid level ridge will begin
to weaken Friday with a trough digging into the se on Saturday. A
few strong storms may occur Friday and Saturday as vertical shear
increases and temperatures cool aloft with the approach of the
upper trough. Temperatures will be close to average levels.

.AVIATION...
[Through 12Z Monday]

IFR to LIFR conditions will prevail at the Duval County terminals
and through around 14Z. IFR conditions should prevail at SSI
through around 16Z. Prevailing MVFR ceilings are expected at
Gainesville and St. Augustine through around 16Z, with periods of
IFR conditions possible in occasional showers. Ceilings at the
Duval County terminals should lift to MVFR after 15Z, with
occasional IFR ceilings possible through around 03Z during periods
of showers and embedded thunderstorms. Sustained easterly surface
winds around 10 knots outside of thunderstorm activity will shift
to southeasterly at 10-15 knots by 15Z and then southerly towards
19Z.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is requested. Spotters should safely report
significant weather conditions and/or damage by calling the office or
