EF0 tornado in Duval County, Florida

A tornado touched down adjacent to the Immanuel Baptist Church off

Sarroca Lane, or just southwest of the intersection of Normandy

Boulevard and Cecil Commerce Center Parkway, around 5:05 PM. This

small tornado, with an estimated maximum width of 25 yards, was

captured on video as it flipped a garbage dumpster on the church

property. This tornado likely lifted before crossing Normandy

Boulevard, with the parent supercell thunderstorm moving

northeastward, producing another likely touchdown near the

intersection of Brian Lakes Drive and Justin Oaks Drive North,

where the tornado was again captured on video as it damaged fences

and trees adjacent to homes in the area. This damage represents

am estimated peak wind of around 85 mph, and the non-continuous

damage path of this tornado was around 1.38 miles. The tornado

lifted before reaching Chaffee Trail Elementary School around 5:07

PM.

A storm system traversing the southeastern states lifted a warm front northward across northeast Florida during the late afternoon hours. Supercell thunderstorms developed in the vicinity of this lifting warm front, and two distinct tornadoes occurred over southwestern and western portions of Duval County. Supercell thunderstorms during the late afternoon hours also produced several reports of hail, varying in size from pea to half-dollar in diameter, across north central and northeast Florida, with funnel clouds also noted via photos and videos posted on social media.
