Football match postponement: Anticipated start time for Panthers versus Jaguars revealed, with the latest weather details included.

In a surprising turn of events, the much-anticipated matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars faced a significant delay on Sunday. The debut of first-time Jaguars head coach Liam Coen was off to an unconventional start.

The delay occurred in the second quarter of the game, as Doppler radar detected storms with winds up to 30 knots. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Jacksonville issued a Marine Weather Statement, urging mariners to seek safe harbor immediately due to gusty winds, higher waves, and lightning risks.

The storms were moving east at 10 knots from near Talbot Island to Mayport, according to the NWS. The statement warned of thunderstorms approaching coastal waters from Fernandina Beach to St Augustine, Florida, out 20 nautical miles.

As the weather worsened, players and coaches headed to the locker rooms with 8:32 remaining before halftime. Fans in open areas were asked to move to 'protected areas'. The stadium authorities also issued a weather alert.

Despite the delay, the Jaguars managed to take the lead in the game. With a 6-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Hunter Long, the Jaguars secured a 10-3 advantage before the weather-induced pause.

Unfortunately, there was no timetable for the game to resume, leaving fans and players in a state of uncertainty. The assistant coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the game before Liam Coen made his debut as head coach was not specified in the provided search results.

As the weather continues to be monitored, both teams, as well as their fans, will be hoping for a swift resumption of the game. Stay tuned for further updates.
