Thunderstorm Wind — Union, Florida

2017-08-09 · near Duke, Union, Florida

Event narrative

A tree was blown down onto a power line on South County Road 231 near SW 69th Trail.

Wider weather episode

A surface front was across south Georgia with very high moisture content along this feature and south. Light south flow enabled both sea breezes to develop and press inland and interact over the moist and unstable airmass. Scattered severe storms developed across NE Fl, and produced strong wind gusts due to pockets of dry mid level air that enhanced downbursts.
