Local brief
Flash Flood Warning covers part of Baker County until 11:30 p.m.
NWS Jacksonville has a Flash Flood Warning until 11:30 p.m. EDT Saturday for part of Baker County. Radar rain was about 1.5 to 3.5 inches, with more possible.
The National Weather Service office in Jacksonville issued one Flash Flood Warning that covers parts of four Florida counties: southeastern Baker County, northwestern Clay County, northeastern Bradford County, and northeastern Union County. This page is only the Baker County part.
The warning began at 8:30 p.m. EDT on Saturday, October 3, 2026. It runs until 11:30 p.m. EDT the same night. That is a short clock. If that time has passed, treat this page as a record of the warning, not a live order.
Radar showed thunderstorms with heavy rain. About 1.5 to 3.5 inches had fallen by 8:30 p.m. Another 1 to 2 inches was possible. NWS said flooding of streets, small creeks, and low spots was happening or about to start. The source is radar.
NWS drew this warning over southeastern Baker County. The same message also covers parts of Bradford, Clay, and Union counties. Those counties have their own hub pages.
NWS listed Lawtey and Ellerbee as places in the warned area. This page does not add other towns.
The National Weather Service safety line is simple: turn around, don't drown. Most flood deaths happen in cars. At night it is harder to see water on the road. Do not drive into flooded streets.
The product code is FFWJAX, from NWS Jacksonville. One warning can sit on more than one county hub. Each hub page is only for that county.
This Notice Nearby brief does not report any injuries, deaths, or wrecked buildings. The weather message did not list those facts, so this page does not add them. Notice Nearby is a public register, not a newspaper, and this page is not Legal Publication.
