The Action News Jax First Alert Weather Team is tracking a stormy afternoon across Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.
Concerns about the weather prompted organizers of Jazz Fest in Jacksonville to delay the event for hours.
Hail has also been reported in several local counties.
Notes from the meteorologist:
- Some spots have received 1-2″ of rain as of 5 PM, with rain still falling

- Some rain may linger past sunset, but we’ll dry out overnight
- Memorial Day features more sunshine, heat & humidity for the first half of the day
- The sea breeze will slowly advance inland and trigger a few showers & storms
- A disturbance up in SE GA will also help form & strengthen storms north of Jax
