The episode as NWS JAX wrote it up.
A pre-frontal squall line of storms moved across southeast Georgia and northeast Florida through the day. Strong low level jet winds combined with sfc based instability and dry air entrainment supported a few severe storms over the area during the morning hours. By the afternoon as the line pushed southeast of northeast Florida...drier air limited convective formation and the severe storm threat greatly decreased.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jacksonville, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 24, 3:32 AM EST, 5 hours 1 minute earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL
432 AM EDT SUN MAR 24 2013
...A FEW SEVERE STORMS APPEAR LIKELY THIS MORNING THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON...
.CURRENTLY...
RADAR SHOWS SCT SHOWERS AND STORMS PROPAGATING NEWD OVER SE GA AS
THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NWD TONIGHT. CONVECTION IS AIDED BY LOW LEVEL
LIFT COURTESY OF THE WARM FRONT AND SHORTWAVE ENERGY ALOFT. SFC LOW
NOTED OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY WILL BE MOVING ENEWD THROUGH THE
MORNING ACROSS THE SE STATES.
.TODAY...FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW THE MODELS HAVE INDICATED A
PREFRONTAL QUASI-SQUALL LINE WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE THROUGH THE
REGION THIS MORNING WITH RELATIVELY HIGH INSTABILITY COMPARED TO
PAST PREFRONTAL EVENTS WHERE LITTLE SEVERE WX WAS REALIZED. MUCAPE
VALUES ARE ANTICIPATED AROUND 800-1200 J/KG AHEAD OF THE SQUALL
LINE. STRONG 850 MB WINDS A SOLID 40-50 KT FROM THE SW WILL HELP
SUSTAIN RATHER HIGH 0-3 KM HELICITY VALUES OF 350-600 EARLY THIS
MORNING. THUS...BOTH A DAMAGING WIND AND TORNADO THREAT EXISTS WITH
LARGE HAIL POSSIBLE. SPC HAS CONTINUED OUR AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK OF
SEVERE STORMS. SOME QUESTION THOUGH HOW WELL A SQUALL LINE STAYS
TOGETHER AS LLVL WINDS BECOME MORE PARALLEL TO UPPER WINDS. TIME
FRAME FOR THIS PREFRONTAL PRECIP IS FROM SUNRISE TO ABOUT 18Z ACROSS
NRN 2/3RDS OF ZONES...THEN SE PART FROM ST AUGUSTINE TO OCALA
17Z-21Z. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL TODAY AROUND 1-2 INCHES POSSIBLE. HIGHS
WILL SHOOT UP TO NEAR 80 AND LOWER 80S GIVEN THE STRONG SWLY WINDS
IN THE LOW LEVELS. LOW LEVEL MIXING AND SWLY WINDS AROUND 20-25 MPH
HAS PROMPTED A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR MOST PORTIONS OF THE AREA.
WINDS MAY BE SUSTAINED 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO ABOUT 40 MPH OVER SE
ZONES SO WIND ADVY WILL BE ISSUED FOR MOST SE ZONES. ADVISORIES ARE
SET TO END AT 8 PM THIS EVENING.
TONIGHT...ACTUAL COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING INTO THE NW ZONES THIS
EVENING...THEN PASSING SEWD OVER THE CWA OVERNIGHT AND OFFSHORE.
W-NW WINDS WILL REMAIN BREEZY AT TIMES AND HAVE PREFERRED WARMER
SIDE OF GUIDANCE LOW TEMPS MAINLY DUE TO WIND FACTOR. CLEARING
SKIES FOR MOST COUNTIES THOUGH SOME LOW LEVEL CLOUDINESS AND A FEW
SHOWERS OR EVEN AN ISOLD STORM ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT GIVEN
WHAT APPEARS TO MORE THAN SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY AHEAD OF FRONT BUT
CONFIDENCE RIGHT NOW IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE ANY POPS AT THIS
TIME...BUT WILL MONITOR LATEST MODEL TRENDS ON NEED TO CONTINUE A
LOW POP OVER SE GA ZONES SINCE ITS CONCEIVABLE AN ISOLD STORM COULD
BRIEFLY BECOME STRONG/SEVERE ALONG THE FRONT.
MON THROUGH TUE...SFC HIGH PRES WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM
THE NW WITH MUCH COOLER AND DRY AIRMASS. WINDY-VERY WINDY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED MON AND LAKE WIND ADVY IS WARRANTED BUT MAY EVEN NEED WIND
ADVY OVER N ZONES. WIND GUSTS OF ABOUT 40-45 MPH ARE POSSIBLE. TUE
WINDS NOT AS HIGH BUT SUSTAINED W-NW 20-25 MPH POSSIBLE WITH ANOTHER
LAKE WIND ADVY LIKELY. HIGHS MON AND TUE ONLY IN THE 60S BUT WIND WILL
MAKE IT FEEL COOLER. TUE NIGHT...LIGHTER WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR COLDER
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 30S MOST AREAS BUT A FREEZE NOT ANTICIPATED AT
THIS TIME...BUT PATCHY FROST INLAND AREAS WILL BE POSSIBLE.
&&
.LONG TERM...WED-SAT. SFC HIGH MOVES OVER THE REGION WED AND THU WHILE
TEMPS SLOWLY MODERATE. A WEAK SFC TROUGH MAY PUSH THROUGH THE AREA
THU-THU NIGHT AND GFS SHOWS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO THE
REGION BUT AIRMASS REMAINS TOO DRY FOR PRECIP. ON FRI...GFS SHOWS A
SHARP INCREASE IN MOISTURE ASSOCD WITH A SHORT TROUGH MOVING THROUGH
THE REGION IN NWLY FLOW ALOFT BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH TO INCLUDE
ANY POPS ON FRI. POPS MAY INCREASE LATE FRI THROUGH SAT AS NEXT
FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE NW BUT WILL CONFINE LOW POPS TO
SE GA. FOR MOST PART USED MEX GUIDANCE FOR TEMP GUIDANCE.
&&
.AVIATION...
CEILINGS WILL FLUCTUATE TODAY...BUT PREVAILING MVFR CONDITIONS ARE
ANTICIPATED. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL BE A FACTOR THIS MORNING
DUE TO SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 45 KNOTS JUST ABOVE A RELATIVELY LIGHT
SOUTHERLY FLOW AT THE SURFACE. STRONGER WINDS WILL BEGIN TO MIX TO
THE SURFACE LATER THIS MORNING WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 KNOTS POSSIBLE
THROUGH THE DAY. A POSSIBLE SQUALL LINE IS ANTICIPATED LATE THIS
MORNING INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE WIND GUSTS.
&&
.MARINE...
WINDS WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY TODAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES
ARE IN EFFECT FOR ALL WATERS. A POSSIBLE SQUALL LINE IS EXPECTED
THIS AFTERNOON WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
VERY GUSTY WINDS. WINDS WILL BECOME EVEN STRONGER TONIGHT BEHIND
A COLD FRONT AND A GALE WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR THE OFFSHORE
ZONES FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 3
TO 5 FEET NEARSHORE AND TO AS HIGH AS 6 TO 9 FEET OFFSHORE ON
MONDAY. WINDS WILL FINALLY DIMINISH ON WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE AREA.
RIP CURRENTS: LOW RISK TODAY AND TOMORROW DUE TO OFFSHORE FLOW.
