A Nor'easter is underway across the region. Bands of heavy rain will continue to stream
across St. Johns County through today and tonight. The storm will be slow to nudge to the
south later today with a slow weakening trend. Another 2 - 4 inches of rain are likely across
the area with strong winds continuing through at least tonight. National Weather Service
Jacksonville reported 8 inches of rain had fallen at the Northeast Florida Regional Airport as
of early this morning.
St. Johns County is under a Flood Watch through late tonight - A Flood Watch means there is
potential for flooding based on current forecast. Heavy rainfall will continue in the watch area
through tonight. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 - 3 inches can be expected with locally
higher amounts possible. This may cause flooding of small creeks, streams, highways,
streets, and underpasses. Residents should monitor forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should
flooding develop.
St. Johns County is under a Wind Advisory until 6 am Saturday - Winds of 25 - 45 mph can
be expected in the area. Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high
profile vehicles. Residents should use caution when doing outdoor activities.
Southeastern St. Johns County is under a Flood Warning until 6:15 pm - An additional 1 - 3
inches of rainfall is possible. Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks, streams, highways, streets, and underpasses. Other low lying areas are also subject
to flooding. Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. Make
the smart choice, turn around, don't drown.
St. Johns County is under a High Surf Advisory - Breakers of 5 - 7 feet can be expected along
the beaches.
Strong easterly flow and elevated seas will produce rough surf and a high risk of rip currents
through Saturday morning.

storms could produce heavy rainfall. High near 73*. Very windy, with an east wind 22 - 31
