The episode as NWS JAX wrote it up.
A weakening surface front was near southeast Georgia with a surface ridge axis across central Florida. A mean 1000-700 mb ridge axis was over southeast Georgia with a light south to southwest steering flow over the local area. An unstable low level air mass was in place and combined with the sea breezes and outflows numerous severe storms developed across the area during the afternoon and evening.
