ZJX CTLR EXPERIENCED OPERROR AT FL250 DURING WX DEVS.

Narrative

I WAS WORKING THE BAXLEY (79) SECTOR (FL110-FL230) WITH TSTMS AND SUA AIRSPACE (G8 TFR) NEGATIVELY IMPACTING THE NORMAL FLOWS AND OPS OF THE SECTOR. ADDITIONALLY THE FLOW CTL RESTR FOR ACFT LNDG JAX TO ENTER MY SECTOR AT FL230 OR BELOW FROM ZTL HAD BEEN LIFTED SO THAT SAID ACFT WERE NOW ABLE TO ENTER MY AIRSPACE FROM ABOVE; WITHIN THE LATERAL CONFINES OF THE SECTOR; RATHER THAN FROM THE SIDE; OUTSIDE THE LATERAL CONFINES OF THE SECTOR. UPON INITIAL CONTACT WITH ACFT #1 (CLBING 15000 FT) I CLRED THE ACFT TO FL230. THE ACFT #1 LATER ASKED TO DEVIATE L (W) OF COURSE. I APPROVED; SHORTLY THEREAFTER HE THEN REQUESTED A R (E) DEV. I APPROVED HIS REQUEST AND SWITCHED COM TO THE AMG (50) SECTOR (UP TO FL240) AS SAID SECTOR HAD ALREADY ACCEPTED THE RADAR HDOF ON THE ACFT #1. UPON SWITCHING COM I INSTRUCTED THE ACFT #1 TO INFORM THE AMG (50) CTLR OF HIS DEV. THE ACFT #2 HAD ALREADY CHKED ONTO MY FREQ DSNDING FL240 AND DEVIATING L (E) OF COURSE; I HAD CLRED THE ACFT TO FL190 AT INITIAL CHK ON. THE ACFT #2 RATE OF DSCNT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN STANDARD RATE (HE WAS FLOATING IT DOWN). I FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET A VFR ACFT THROUGH THE TFR INTO AN ARPT WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE TFR AS WELL AS HOW TO KEEP HIM IN VMC CONDITIONS. ADDITIONALLY; BECAUSE OF THE WX; I WAS CONCENTRATING ON OTHER SITS OCCURRING WITHIN THE SECTOR. THE AMG (50) CTLR ENGAGED MY OVERRIDE AND ASKED IF I WAS TALKING TO THE ACFT #2 (THIS BROUGHT THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF SEPARATION SIT TO MY ATTN). I RESPONDED THAT I WOULD TURN THE ACFT #2 TO THE W (HE WAS W OF THE ACFT #1 AT THE TIME). I ASKED THE ACFT #2 IF HE COULD FLY A 270 DEG HDG. HE SAID NO. I ASKED WHAT THE FURTHEST R HE COULD TURN WOULD BE. HE SAID 230 DEGS. I ASSIGNED THAT HDG. I THEN ENGAGED THE OVERRIDE TO THE AMG (50) SECTOR INTENDING TO DETERMINE WHAT (IF ANYTHING) THE AMG (50) CTLR HAD DONE OR INTENDED TO DO WITH THE ACFT #1 TO ALLEVIATE THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF SEPARATION SIT. I HEARD THE AMG (50) CTLR SAY (NOT TO ME) SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT 'HIM AT FL240;' HE THEN ACKNOWLEDGED MY OVERRIDE CALL. I STATED THAT I WOULD CLB THE ACFT #2 BACK UP TO FL250 AND IMMEDIATELY DID SO AS THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF SEPARATION WAS IMMINENT. THE AMG (50) CTLR DID NOT HEAR WHAT I HAD SAID AS HE HAD NOT DISENGAGED THE RECEIVE AND XMIT BUTTON TO PREVENT ACFT ON HIS FREQ FROM INTERFERING WITH OUR CONVERSATION AS ONE DID WHEN I TOLD HIM MY PLAN TO CLB THE ACFT #2 BACK UP. TURNS OUT HIS STATEMENT ABOUT FL240 WAS NOT HIS PLAN TO GET THE ACFT #1 BACK DOWN AS I HAD ASSUMED; WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A TERRIBLE PLAN BUT SINCE I THOUGHT THAT IS WHAT HE WAS DOING I MADE THE COMPLIMENTARY ACTION TO HIS BY CLBING THE ACFT #2 THEREFORE A LOSS OF STANDARD SEPARATION OCCURRED.
