Thunderstorms are right now "popping" over western Clay and Duval Counties.

LIVE CONTINUOUS BLOGGING


As of now, there is a line of thunderstorms, that stretches from Brunswick to Folkston and over towards Live Oak. The line is pushing off towards the east and should arrive within Jacksonville proper within the next several hours. Hail, damaging winds, cloud-to-ground lighting, and heavy rainfall are the main threats from these storms. The current thunderstorm in Nassau county by far appears the strongest. Hail with a diameter of 2.00 inches, and rain falling at a rate of 3 inches an hour is currently being experienced in this area.

TORNADO THREAT


If thunderstorm cells remain discrete, a tornado threat may develop across Southern Georgia. The threat should slowly decrease as we progress into the evening hours and instability diminishes.

SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE TOMORROW

Severe weather is possible from the hours of 3pm to about 9pm. Large hail and damaging winds appear to be the main threats. Updates throughout the day tomorrow.

Thursday, April 06, 2006

Slight Chance of Severe Weather Saturday


There is a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 8am. High around 80. Winds will be on the breezy side at between 9 and 17 mph.

Nassau County Burn Ban

Residential yard debris may not be burned at this time. Regular permit burning will be allowed and permits must be obtained through the Florida Department of Forestry. Ban is in effect until April 15 and will be renewed as needed.

>Current KBDI Rating - 410



These numbers correlate with potential fire behavior as follows:

0 - 200 Soil and fuel moisture are high. Most fuels will not readily ignite or burn. However, with sufficient sunlight and wind, cured grasses and some light surface fuels will burn in spots and patches.

200 - 400 Fires more readily burn and will carry across an area with no gaps. Heavier fuels will still not readily ignite and burn. Also, expect smoldering and the resulting smoke to carry into and possibly through the night.

400 - 600 Fire intensity begins to significantly increase. Fires will readily burn in all directions exposing mineral soils in some locations. Larger fuels may burn or smolder for several days creating possible smoke and control problems.

600 - 800 Fires will burn to mineral soil. Stumps will burn to the end of underground roots and spotting will be a major problem. Fires will burn thorough the night and heavier fuels will actively burn and contribute to fire intensity.
