The episode as NWS JAX wrote it up.
The Little Satilla River rose quickly to minor flooding due to slow moving, heavy rainfall producing thunderstorms. The river gage just downstream of of the 3-6 inches of rainfall rose 6-7 ft. It took almost 24 hours for rainfall runoff to reach the gage and 48 hours for the crest to pass downstream of gage.

NWS Jacksonville, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 10, 2:00 PM EST, 4 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSONVILLE FL 300 PM EDT WED JUN 10 2015 .NEAR TERM /THRU THURSDAY/... CONVECTION DEVELOPED AND MOVED ACROSS FORECAST AREA EARLIER TODAY THAN PREVIOUS DAYS. WHILE SOME MODEL GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING REDEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS/T-STORMS LATE IN THE DAY INTO THE EVENING...PARTICULARLY IN SE GA...BUT CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER THIS WILL OCCUR. WILL MAINTAIN HIGHER POPS INTERIOR SE GA THAN FURTHER S GIVEN SATELLITE IMAGERY OF MID-LEVEL CLOUD SWIRL NEAR TLH MOVING NE THAT COULD SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS/T- STORMS AHEAD OF IT ACROSS INTERIOR SE GA. WILL MAINTAIN AT LEAST CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE BUT AGAIN CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY ON LEVEL OF COVERAGE...AND NEXT SHIFT MAY NEED TO SIGNIFICANTLY ADJUST HOURLY POP GRIDS AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. LATER TONIGHT...ACTIVITY SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH WITH LOW TEMPS IN THE UPR 60S TO LWR 70S. ANOTHER FAIRLY ACTIVE DAY IS ANTICIPATED FOR THURSDAY. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS MORE SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT WITH DECENT SHORTWAVE IN THE FLOW OVER THE CTRL/NRN FL PENINSULA. CONTINUING CURRENT FORECAST OF 50-60 POP MOST AREAS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WITH STRONGEST STORMS CAPABLE OF STRONG WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. CURRENT HIGH TEMP FORECAST GENERALLY UPR 80S LOOKS FINE. .SHORT TERM /FRI-SAT/... EAST-WEST HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS NEAR THE FL/GA BORDER ON FRIDAY WILL LIFT NORTH TOWARDS THE ALTAMAHA RIVER BASIN ON SATURDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW A DRIER AIRMASS WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER AMOUNTS CLOSER TO 1.50 TO 1.70 INCHES TO PUSH INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTHEAST. THIS WILL PRODUCE A DOWNWARD TREND IN STORM ACTIVITY OVER INLAND AREAS WITH 30-40% COVERAGE FRIDAY AND ONLY 20-30% COVERAGE SATURDAY. THE STEERING FLOW WILL GENERALLY BE OUT OF THE SOUTH FRIDAY AND OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST SATURDAY AND THIS WILL KEEP STORMS OVER INLAND AREAS WITH THE TYPICAL ISOLATED STRONG STORM ACTIVITY EXPECTED WHILE SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED. MAX TEMPS WILL PUSH INTO THE LOWER/MIDDLE 90S INLAND WITH HEAT INDICES AROUND 100 DEGREES. .LONG TERM /SUN-WED/... SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL REMAIN JUST NORTH OF THE REGION WHILE MID LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS IN ALOFT. THIS WILL KEEP THE STEERING FLOW OUT OF THE EAST/SOUTHEAST WITH NEAR CLIMO SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING STORM COVERAGE OVER INLAND AREAS WITH RAIN CHANCES REMAINING IN THE 30-40% RANGE. MODELS SUGGESTING 850MB TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND EXPECT MAX TEMPS TO BUILD INTO THE MID 90S (POSSIBLY UPPER 90S IN SOME LOCATIONS) WITH NEAR 90 ALONG THE COAST. HEAT INDICES WILL BUILD INTO THE 100-105 RANGE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. && .AVIATION... EXPECTING VFR CONDITIONS EXCEPT FOR LOWER CONDITIONS VICINITY OF SCT'D SHRA/TSRA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY WITH COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING GIVEN EARLIER ACTIVITY TODAY. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS SOME REDEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS/ISOLATED TSRA LATE TODAY INTO THE EVENING BUT UNCERTAIN IF THIS WILL ACTUALLY OCCUR...PERHAPS BETTER POTENTIAL NORTH OF TAF SITES.
