2023-09-26 · near Russell, Clay, Florida

Event narrative

A witness reported a land spout that last for about 4 minutes and tracked WSW to ENE across a construction site just south of Sandridge Road near Feed Mill Road. The vortex crossed over a construction site where it lifted garbage debris and dust. Structure damage did not occur.

Wider weather episode

A weak surface front was near the FL-GA state-line with moist, unstable conditions south of the boundary across NE FL. Diurnally enhanced storms further intensified into the afternoon and early evening as a short-wave trough moved across the area from the west. Storm motion was slow, so locally heavy rainfall was a concern near storm mergers.
