The episode as NWS JAX wrote it up.
A slow-moving cold front pushed into NE FL, just beyond the GA/FL line, and nearly stalled in the afternoon. Scattered showers and storms developed south of the boundary in the early afternoon. Dry air and steep lapse rates aloft fueled a few strong to severe storms which produced downburst winds.
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 19, 12:55 AM EST, 1 hour 55 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 155 AM EDT Sun Jun 19 2022 .AVIATION... [Through 06Z Monday] Some potential for early morning patchy fog reported at VQQ, otherwise predominantly VFR conditions for sites into the afternoon. Overnight convection will have pushed south by morning with afternoon storms forming ahead of the advancing frontal boundary out of the north, with GNV being the most impacted site. Winds will build in the afternoon with speeds reaching upwards of 15 knots with gusts of up to 25 knots out of the NE-E. && .PREV DISCUSSION [942 PM EDT]... .NEAR TERM [through Sunday]... An unstable air mass prevails across northeast and north central FL in the wake of the departing MCS, and short-term, high resolution guidance indicates that at least scattered convection will develop through the mid-evening hours for locations along and south of the I-10 corridor. Deepening north-northeasterly steering flow should push storms that develop towards north central FL and southern portions of the Suwannee Valley by midnight as the aforementioned "backdoor" cold front pushes across southeast GA and the northern Suwannee Valley before sunrise. A few strong thunderstorms may be possible for locations south of I-10 this evening, with gusty winds of 40-55 mph, frequent lightning strikes and small hail being the primary threats. Lows tonight will range from the lower 70s inland to the mid and upper 70s at coastal locations. The "backdoor" cold front will continue to push slowly southward on Sunday, with an unseasonably dry air mass filtering into southeast GA early in the day and scattered showers and thunderstorms remaining possible for locations south of Interstate 10 through early afternoon, with activity then pressing southwestward towards north central FL and southern portions of the Suwannee Valley by the late afternoon and early evening hours. Strong to isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible in these locations later in the afternoon, with downburst winds of 40-60 mph, frequent lightning strikes, and small hail being the primary threats. Our local pressure gradient will tighten on Sunday morning as strong high pressure currently building over the Great Lakes region today presses into the Ohio Valley and wedges down the southeastern seaboard by the afternoon hours. East-northeasterly winds will become breezy before noon at coastal locations in southeast GA, with breezy conditions then spreading down the northeast FL coast during the early afternoon and then expanding inland by the mid to late afternoon hours. These onshore winds will keep coastal highs in the mid to upper 80s, with low to mid 90s across inland southeast GA and along the I-75 corridor. Dewpoints will again crash to around 60 degrees by late afternoon for locations north of Waycross, with dewpoints slowly falling towards 70s elsewhere inland during the afternoon hours, keeping max heat index values well below advisory criteria. .SHORT TERM [Sunday Night through Tuesday Night]... An unseasonably dry air mass will overspread a good portion of our region on Sunday night and Monday as the "backdoor" frontal boundary stalls near the I-4 corridor and high pressure slowly builds southward from the Ohio Valley into the southeastern states. Breezy onshore winds will prevail on Sunday night and Monday, followed by diminishing onshore winds on Tuesday as our local pressure gradient loosens. This convergent onshore wind may have just enough low level moisture to squeeze out a few coastal showers on Sunday night and Monday morning, mainly for locations south of St. Augustine. Otherwise, dry weather will prevail. Highs on Monday will range from the mid 80s at area beaches to the lower 90s inland. Lows on Sunday night will fall to the mid and upper 60s for inland locations along and north of the I-10 corridor, with lower 70s elsewhere, except mid to upper 70s at coastal locations, where onshore winds will remain breezy. Radiational cooling is expected on Monday night at inland locations, where lows will fall to the mid to upper 60s, ranging to the mid 70s at coastal locations, where a lighter onshore breeze will persist. Upper ridging currently centered over the Upper Midwest will gradually push southeastward early in the upcoming week as a trough progresses across the northern Rockies and enters the Dakotas. Rising heights aloft and a dry air mass will result in warming temperatures by Tuesday afternoon, with highs climbing to the mid 90s across inland southeast GA, with lower 90s for most of inland northeast and north central FL. The afternoon sea breeze will keep coastal highs in the mid to upper 80s. Radiational cooling on Tuesday night will again result in lows falling to the mid 60s at most inland locations, ranging to around 70 at coastal locations. .LONG TERM [Wednesday through Friday Night]... Ridging aloft will gradually retrograde westward towards the southern Plains region, but this feature will expand its influence eastward, leaving our region in a dry north-northeasterly flow aloft on Wednesday and Thursday. Highs will approach or perhaps exceed 100 degrees throughout inland portions of southeast GA, with mid to upper 90s elsewhere inland and low to mid 90s at area beaches. Dewpoints will remain well below seasonal averages on Wednesday, keeping max heat index values around or below 105 degrees. Heat index values will then begin to approach local Heat Advisory criteria (108 degrees) by Thursday afternoon as low level moisture begins to gradually increase, which could also result in isolated thunderstorm development along colliding sea breeze boundaries during the late afternoon and evening hours for locations west of the I-95 corridor in northeast and north central FL. Ridging aloft will then push back eastward late in the week, with low level troughing setting up over the Deep South. Temperatures will remain hot, generally in the mid to upper 90s inland on Friday, with more active sea breezes developing at least widely scattered convection during the mid to late afternoon hours, which will keep coastal highs in the lower 90s. Heat index values may again approach advisory criteria by Friday afternoon. Lows through the period will generally fall to the low and mid 70s. .MARINE... No significant changes made this evening. A cold front will push south through the waters Sunday and bring a surge of northeast winds with gusts 20-25 knots and build seas to 4-6 feet through Sunday. Small crafts will need to exercise caution through Sunday as breezy onshore flow continues with high pressure building in from the north. Rip Currents: Increasing onshore flow and surf will lead to a High Risk at NE FL beaches whereas the risk will be Moderate to High along SE GA beaches on Sunday. .FIRE WEATHER... Surface and transport winds will shift to east-northeasterly early on Sunday morning, with breezy conditions developing at coastal locations during the mid to late morning hours and then spreading inland during the afternoon. These breezy conditions will result in good dispersion values nearly area-wide. A few strong thunderstorms will be possible by late Sunday afternoon across north central Florida and southern portions of the Suwannee Valley. Breezy easterly transport winds will prevail on Monday, with breezy surface winds persisting at coastal locations and then spreading inland across northeast and north central Florida during the afternoon, resulting in another day of good dispersion values. Minimum humidity values may fall to just above critical thresholds on Monday afternoon for inland portions of southeast GA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
