The episode as NWS JAX wrote it up.
Moist southwesterly flow prevailed as the Atlantic ridge extended into northeast Florida. Showers and storms moved northeastward across the area and interacted with the pinned Atlantic sea breeze boundary along I-95 in Flagler county. A lightning strike from a passing thunderstorm struck a house in Flagler County Wednesday evening.

NWS Jacksonville, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 13, 7:36 PM EST, 55 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 836 PM EDT Wed Jul 13 2022 .UPDATE... Late evening convection centered over western Flagler County and southeastern Putnam County and extending southward will continue through tonight producing heavy rains, gusty winds, and localized flooding. Weather conditions will otherwise be mild overnight with daytime convection returning later on Thursday. Overnight low temperatures are expected to drop down into the lower 70s && .PREV DISCUSSION [644 PM EDT]... .NEAR TERM [through Thursday Night]... Convection will mostly exit our area before sunset tonight, except across southern portions of the St. Johns River basin, where deeper moisture moving slowly northward from the FL peninsula may interact with the Atlantic seabreeze boundary to produce isolated convection towards or shortly after sunset for locations from Palatka to St. Augustine and points southward. Any convection that manages to develop this evening should dissipate before midnight, giving most of us a nice view of the Supermoon rise around 9 PM this evening. Lows tonight will generally fall to the lower 70s inland and the mid to upper 70s at coastal locations. Troughing aloft will continue to dig slowly southward from the Tennessee Valley on Thursday, pushing the aforementioned cold front towards the Deep South. Meanwhile, the axis of deep-layered Atlantic ridging will begin to lift northward from the FL peninsula as the TUTT circulation progresses westward towards south FL. Temperatures aloft across our region will cool off slightly, and increasing moisture levels ahead of the approaching front and also lifting northward from the FL peninsula will set the stage for a stormy afternoon and evening after relatively tranquil conditions, albeit warm and humid, during the morning hours. A lighter westerly flow in the low and mid levels will allow the Atlantic sea breeze boundary to develop earlier and move further inland, while convective coverage should rapidly increase along the inland moving Gulf coast sea breeze by early afternoon over the Suwannee Valley, setting up a collision of these seabreezes near the U.S. Highway 301 corridor during the mid- afternoon hours. Highs will soar to the 90-95 range before convective coverage increases during the afternoon hours, with maximum heat index values climbing to around 105. Convective coverage will also become widespread by late afternoon across inland portions of southeast GA as the frontal boundary presses towards the area from the north. Slightly deeper westerly flow aloft over southeast GA could present the risk for strong to isolated severe thunderstorms, with a few storms also pulsing along the sea breeze collision over northeast and north central FL by the mid to late afternoon hours. Slower storm motion on Thursday may present a risk for localized flooding, especially at urban and normally flood-prone locations. Pulsing storms will also be capable of producing downburst winds of 40-60 mph and frequent lightning strikes. Activity should then migrate across the I-95 corridor during the late afternoon and early evening hours, with some risk of flooding at coastal locations due to higher evening tidal levels due to the Supermoon. Convection may also linger through around midnight across southeast GA due to the approaching frontal boundary. Lows on Thursday night will fall to the lower 70s inland and the mid 70s at coastal locations. .SHORT TERM [Friday through Sunday Night]... Deep-layered Atlantic ridging will lift slowly northward during this period, while troughing over the southeastern states cuts off during the weekend, absorbing the TUTT feature currently moving westward across the Bahamas. Deep tropical moisture will remain in place across our region, with low and mid level flow backing to southeasterly, which should focus widespread convection to locations along and west of the I-95 corridor each afternoon and evening, with a risk for at least scattered convection for locations during the predawn and morning hours for locations east of the I-95 corridor. Light steering flow will result in slow moving downpours, with localized flooding possible each afternoon and evening, especially at urban and normally flood prone inland locations. Early development of convection and increased cloud cover will keep highs generally in the 85-90 degree range, with lows falling to around 70 inland, but remaining in the upper 70s to around 80 at coastal locations as weak onshore winds develop beginning on Friday night. .LONG TERM [Monday Through Tuesday Night]... Deep-layered Atlantic ridging will begin to retreat southward early next week as a trough digs southeastward from the Great Lakes and Ohio/Tennessee/Lower Mississippi Valleys. Low and mid level flow will shift to southwesterly on Monday and westerly by Tuesday, with some indications of a slightly drier air mass advecting over our region by Monday night and Tuesday. Widespread afternoon and evening convection is expected on Monday, with activity reaching the I-95 corridor as steering flow veers. Heights aloft will also rise gradually downstream of the trough digging to the northwest of our area, allowing highs to climb back into the lower 90s each afternoon, with the heat reaching coastal locations as this flow delays the development of the Atlantic sea breeze boundary. Heat index values should also climb back towards the 105 degree range early next week. Lows will fall to the low and mid 70s inland and the mid to upper 70s at coastal locations. .AVIATION... [Through 00Z Friday] Predominantly VFR conditions for most of the forecast period as heavy convection has died down for much of the region. Lingering showers and possible storms to the east of I-75 and south of SGJ continue into the evening before dispersing overnight. Winds will be mild overnight before building in from out of the west during the day wit the east coast sea breeze affecting the coastal and Duval County sites. Potential for early morning mist affecting visibility levels at VQQ. .MARINE... A frontal boundary entering the southeastern states will stall well to the northwest of our local waters on Thursday and will gradually dissipate during the weekend. A few strong thunderstorms will be possible through early this evening, especially over the Georgia waters. Outside of thunderstorm activity, evening wind surges are expected tonight and again on Thursday, bringing speeds up to near Caution levels offshore. Seas of 3-5 feet are forecast both near shore and offshore through Thursday night, mainly due to a persistent east-southeasterly ocean swell. Meanwhile, the axis of Atlantic ridging that currently stretches across the Florida peninsula will lift northward on Friday and Saturday. Prevailing south-southwesterly winds are expected through Thursday night, followed by southeasterly winds from Friday through the upcoming weekend. Coverage of showers and thunderstorms will increase throughout our local waters from Thursday evening through the upcoming weekend. Seas of 2-4 feet will prevail both near shore and offshore from Friday through Sunday. Atlantic riding will then shift southward early next week as a surface trough takes shape over the southeastern states, resulting in prevailing south-southwesterly winds across our local waters. Seas will build slightly to 3-5 feet both near shore and offshore from Sunday evening through the early portions of next week. Rip Currents: A persistent east-southeasterly ocean swell will combine with tonight's Supermoon and its associated larger than average tidal ranges to keep a moderate rip current risk in place at area beaches during the next several days. .FIRE WEATHER... Surface and transport winds will shift to westerly overnight, with diminishing speeds expected. Lighter surface and transport winds on Thursday will result in poor dispersion values across northeast and north central Florida, with fair to good values across southeast Georgia. Light surface and transport winds on Friday will likely result in low daytime dispersion values area- wide. Widespread mainly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms are forecast throughout the upcoming weekend area- wide. .HYDROLOGY AND COASTAL TIDE LEVELS... Heavy downpours are expected to increase in coverage each afternoon and evening from Thursday through Monday, with localized flooding possible at urban and normally flood prone locations, especially if downpours train repeatedly over these locations. Elevated tidal levels are also expected at coastal locations during the late evening hours through the weekend due to today's Supermoon, but tidal levels should peak just below minor flooding at coastal locations during these late evening high tide cycles. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
