3. Locally Heavy Rainfall Event: The Events KJAX 0.5 Z at 22:59Z 9/16 KJAX 0.5 Z at 00:58Z 9/17 KJAX 0.5 Z at 03:02Z 9/17 Two distinct bands of convection developed late last night. The first band extended N-S from northern Columbia county to eastern Alachua. Two distinct bands of convection developed late last night. The first band extended N-S from northern Columbia county to eastern Alachua. It is possible that as the line inland intensified and created locally low pressure, NE convergence was increased along the coast and thus intensified convection across Duval and northern St. Johns counties.
