Area Under Tornado Watch Until 7PM; High Winds, Hail Is Possible

National Weather Service meteorologist Scott Cordero said a low pressure system moving across the area will produce strong thunderstorms, 58-mile-an-hour-plus winds and, quite possibly, destructive hail.

“We’re looking at potential hail that could be as large as tennis balls. And we do have a tornado watch in effect for all of Northeast Florida including Charlton and Camden counties in Southeast Georgia.”
