Here is what Action News Jax First Alert Weather Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh said we can expect:
MORNING/AFTERNOON: The focus is shifting to isolated tornadoes and strong winds through sunrise Sunday, possibly as late as 8 a.m. or so, but rain and severe storm threat will quickly diminish thereafter. A few scattered, quick-hitting showers into the early afternoon will not significantly add to rainfall totals.

WIND: As the center of the storm moves away, wind will switch to out of the west and northwest and “crank” with sustained winds of 20-35 MPH but gusts of 50+ MPH. This may cause additional uprooted trees rather easily given the saturated ground as well as additional power outages. Measured wind gusts have already been as high as 50 MPH.
TORNADOES/WATERSPOUTS: Focus is shifting to isolated tornadoes and strong winds through sunrise on Sunday.
INTERACTIVE RADAR: Keep track of the rain as it moves through your neighborhood
FLOODING: Very heavy rain overnight with amounts of 2-6″ causing flooding in some areas.
JAGS GAME: By kickoff Sunday evening, partly cloudy and cool, breezy with winds out of the northwest 15-20 MPH and gusts to 25 MPH. Temperatures dropping into the 50s.
