What happened

The episode as NWS JAX wrote it up.

An MCS crossed over southeast Georgia during the morning. The remnant upper level short wave trough crossed over northeast Florida during the afternoon which destabilized the atmosphere significantly to yield numerous severe storms in the afternoon and evening. The modified KJAX 12Z sounding indicated surface based lifted indices of -8 and CAPES of 4200 J/kg were possible during maximum heating.

.UPDATE...MCS THAT AFFECTED OUR SE GA ZONES EARLY THIS MORNING
WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY AS IT MOVED INTO MORE STABLE ENVIRONMENT. RUC

SHOWS SBCAPES OF 2-3 K ALREADY IN NE FL AND GIVEN FORCING...NE FL

SHOWS LI OF -8 AND CAPE OF 4200J POSSIBLE. DOWNBURSTS AND HAIL WILL
BE THE MAIN THREATS ALONG WITH FREQ TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING. MAX
TEMPS MAY BE A SHAD LOWER THAN FORECAST AND WILL ADJUST FOR THE
UPDATE.

&&

.AVIATION...FOR NOW WE HAVE VCTS FOR THE TERMINALS. WILL AWAIT
FURTHER GUIDANCE AND TRENDS FOR INCLUDING TEMPO GROUPS BUT AT THIS
TIME CHANCES SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE BETTER FOR ADDITIONAL TSRA AT GNV
