Locally heavy downpours, some lightning and gusty winds are the main threat with any thunderstorms for the area. A few storms could produce some small hail as well in southeast Georgia.

Highs will be in the lower 80s again today in Jacksonville. A line of showers and storms will move into the area Thursday afternoon. A few of those storms could be strong. The main threat is gusty winds and locally heavy downpours. An isolated tornado threat is there as well. We dry out and cool down for Friday and into the weekend.
