Several Action News Jax viewers sent in photos and video of hail in Atlantic Beach.

The hail appeared to be the size of a dime.

The National Weather Service is labeling the tornado watch a

"Particularly Dangerous Situation Tornado Watch," 

which is the first time such a watch has been issued for the Jacksonville area.
