August 1, 2013 · NWS JAX · 6 events in 1 county or zone

A collision of three boundaries including the east coast sea breeze moving inland, and two outflow boundaries, one from the south and one from the west, converge under and intensifying thunderstorm over the Fort Caroline area. Rapid convergence and uplift spawned a brief tornado which caused structural damage to an apartment complex and widespread tree and some roof damage to homes in the area.

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING/...

SCT TO NRMS SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL PROGRESS W TO E REST OF
THE AFTN WITH GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL. WE
ANTICIPATE MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WEAKENING DURING THE EVENING

TROUGH AND DIURNAL MIN IN CONVECTION OCCURS. WE THINK POPS
WILL DROP TO LESS THAN 20% AFTER 1 AM. MINS TONIGHT WILL
BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S.

FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT...

THE MID/UPPER TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO LIFT OUT OF THE AREA ALLOWING FOR
MORE DRY AND STABLE AIR ALOFT TO MOVE INTO THE REGION...
PARTICULARLY ACROSS SE GA. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH BOUNDARY LAYER
MOISTURE TO CONTINUE POPS IN THE 30-40% RANGE ACROSS NE FL AND
20-30% ACROSS SE GA.  BEST COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL BE ACROSS THE
INLAND AREAS OF NE FL SOUTH OF I-10 DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVE WHERE BEST MOISTURE AND LIFT WILL BE. WITH MORE SUN ACROSS SE GA

SE GA DURING THE AFTN/EVENING...UP TO 30-40% OVER NE FL WHERE
DEEPER MOISTURE WILL RESIDE.

SUN THROUGH THU ANTICIPATE ABOVE NORMAL RAIN CHANCES DUE TO HIGH
ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE CONTENT (PWATS STILL ADVERTISED BETWEEN 2 AND
2.25 INCHES BY MON) COMBINED WITH DEEP LAYER TROUGHING OVER THE SE
REGION. CONTINUED TO ADVERTISED RAIN CHANCES AROUND 40-50% DURING

The sea breezes and several outflow boundaries converged over east Jacksonville Thursday afternoon around 4 pm...then the multicell cluster that developed drifted slowly eastward offshore of the Atlantic coast through 5:30 pm. Strong winds were reported with these storms, with the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville reporting a 41mph wind gust at 3:52pm). WFO Jacksonville conducted a storm survey Thursday evening and confirmed an upper end EF-1 tornado touched down in the Arlington area, ENE of downtown Jacksonville around 4:20 pm EDT along Monument Road and Derringer Road. The tornado briefly reached EF-1 intensity just south of Willowood Drive where it damaged an apartment complex. The Jacksonville Sheriff's office reported 5-6 homes were damaged and 15-20 structures were damaged. There was 1 injury associated with wind damage about 1 mile SW of the Fort Caroline area. The cost of damage was estimated.

Thunderstorm Wind, Duval

When: August 1, 3:25 PM EST

By 5 pm, the public relayed a report that the intersection of Beach Blvd and University Blvd South was inundated with water.
