The episode as NWS JAX wrote it up.
A remnant T.S. Bonnie trough was across SE Georgia. This feature combined with the sea breezes produced scattered strong inland storms during the afternoon.
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 Jun 2, 1:19 PM EST, 1 hour 1 minute earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 219 PM EDT THU JUN 2 2016 ...CONTINUED HOT WITH SCATTERED STORMS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK... ...INCREASING RAINFALL CHANCES THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK... .NEAR TERM.../Through Friday/... The east coast sea breeze had moved between the beaches and intercoastal around 1245 pm this afternoon. A little bit faster timing than yesterday. The east coast sea breeze will continue to slowly track westward meeting up with the west coast sea breeze between 3 and 5 pm near U.S. 301 corridor. Then this convection is anticipated to drift slowly westward toward I-75 during the early evening, then waning in areal coverage toward mid evening. Very weak steering flow will result in slow moving storms and locally heavy rainfall. Convection will begin to decrease over the region this evening with low temperatures tonight in the upper 60s/lower 70s. On Friday...the ridge axis is expected to extend from the adjacent Atlantic through north Florida into the eastern Gulf of Mexico. As a result hot temps will continue. This will result in very light southeasterly gradient flow over the forecast area, giving way to sea breezes slightly stregthening the winds onshore near the coast during afternoon. As a result, storms will remain mainly inland along the U.S. 301 corridor during the afternoon and drifting towards the I-75 corridor during the evening hours. Storm coverage generally be widely scattered to scattered. Very weak steering flow will again result in slow moving storms and locally heavy rainfall. Max temps still reaching the lower to middle 90s inland with heat indices around 100 degrees and upper 80s along the coast. .SHORT TERM /Friday night through Saturday night/... Overview: The upper level pattern starts with an upper low over eastern Texas and an upper trough over the northern plains, with an upper ridge over the western Atlantic stretching across the Florida peninsula and into the southeastern conus. The upper trough will dig southeastward across the upper Great Lakes through Saturday night, while the upper low over Texas begins to shear out. The deep layer ridge will shift eastward, and deep south to southwesterly flow will develop across the region. This will bring significant tropical moisture into our area, with precipitable water values increasing to 1.9-2.1 inches or above the 90% moving average for this time of year. Friday night: Showers and storms will diminish Friday evening with loss of daytime heating across the western half of the region. Low level moisture will begin increasing Friday night, and conditions will be muggy and warm with lows only in the low to mid 70s. Saturday and Saturday night: Southwesterly flow across the region will get the Gulf coast sea breeze started by mid morning, with showers/storms developing along it and then shifting east into the afternoon. Guidance is indicating the east coast sea breeze should develop by late afternoon, with showers and storms concentrating across the eastern counties in the late afternoon through the evening hours. High end chance to likely PoPs will prevail across the region. Locally heavy rainfall is possible. Highs will be hot in the low 90s with heat indices around 100 degrees. Storms will diminish after midnight, but a few showers/storms are possible for the Suwannee River basin near daybreak as they move in from the Gulf. Overnight lows are forecast to be in the low to mid 70s. .LONG TERM /Sunday through Wednesday/... Overview: An upper trough will dig across the Ohio valley and into the southeast on Sunday and then pivot northeastward Sunday night. A large gyre may consolidate over the northwestern Caribbean and is then forecast to move over the Yucatan Peninsula on Sunday and then into the southeastern Gulf Sunday night. There is potential for this system to become a typical June lopsided/sheared Tropical Depression or Tropical Storm over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center currently has a medium chance, 40% (4 in 10 chance), of cyclone formation in the next 5 days as it moves into the Gulf. Models are in excellent agreement on this system moving across the eastern Gulf and into the west central Florida coast Monday night or Tuesday morning and then quickly moving across central or north central Florida and out into the western Atlantic by Tuesday night. The system will move An upper trough is forecast to push southeastward into the southeastern conus once again, and dry and pleasant conditions are then forecast on Wednesday. Regardless of development of the potential system, there is an increasing threat for heavy rainfall and flooding across the region, and the rainfall could be enhanced along the stalled frontal boundary across the FL/GA border Monday into Tuesday. If the system develops, there could be a threat of tropical tornadoes ahead of it as well. Sunday: Deep tropical moisture will continue to pump northeastward across the region, with precipitable water values of 2+ inches expected by Sunday afternoon. An upper trough along with a surface cold front will push into the southeast on Sunday, and there is a threat for strong to severe storms across southeast Georgia. SPC has placed this region in a 15% Day 4 risk area. It will be hot and muggy with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Monday and Tuesday: Upper level trough will pivot into the deep south and potential tropical system will move through the eastern Gulf. Surface frontal boundary will stall across the region, and this could help focus heavy rainfall across portions of northeast Florida. There is a threat for very heavy rainfall, flooding, and possibly tornadoes across the region as a potential tropical system moves across the eastern Gulf and across central/north central Florida Monday night through Tuesday. The temperature forecast is tricky due to the potential system timing and location. Highs most likely will be in the 80s with lows in the lower 70s. Wednesday: Much drier air is forecast to push into the region behind the potential system and frontal boundary. && .AVIATION... Prevailing VFR. Isolated widely scattered SHRA/TSRA expected west of the intercoastal through 21z today, with activity approaching KGNV terminal around 21Z as seabreezes move inland. With ridge axis parked over eastern Gulf Of Mexico, light winds will prevail except along the coastal terminals where diurnal sea breeze will increase onshore flow between 7 and 10 knots this afternoon. && .MARINE... Surface ridge over the eastern Gulf of Mexico will maintain a prevailing synoptic sw flow...becoming se near the coast in the afternoons as the sea breeze develops and moves inland. SW winds will increase to near SCEC levels this weekend due to nocturnal surges ahead of slowly approaching cold front. Rip Currents: Low risk through Friday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
