What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Melbourne, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 23, 2:52 PM EDT, 1 hour 57 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 2:52 PM EDT, 1 hour 57 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
252 PM EDT MON JUN 23 2008

.DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT/TUE...AN INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF STORMS AS
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND OTHER STORMS COLLIDE WITH THE EAST COAST
SEA BREEZE NEAR THE COAST FROM BREVARD SOUTHWARD THROUGH 7 PM.
OUTFLOW FROM EARLIER CONVECTIVE SYSTEM OVER NORTH FLORIDA WILL
LIMIT STORM REDEVELOPMENT ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS. HOWEVER...
ISOLD TSRA MAY REDEVELOP IN LATE AFTN HEATING ESP ALONG OLD
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CURRENTLY DRAPED FROM ROUGHLY TIX-ISM. HAVE
REMOVED POPS AFTER 8 PM OVER THE EC FL PENINSULA.

EASTERN CONUS TROUGH WILL LIFT OUT TUE WHICH WILL ALLOW LOW LEVEL
RIDGE TO SHIFT BACK TO THE NORTH. THIS SHOULD CAUSE LESS MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE ACROSS THE AREA...BUT DEEP DRYING IS NOT EXPECTED.
WESTERLY STEERING FLOW WILL BECOME WEAK WHICH SHOULD START TO
SHIFT FOCUS FOR AFTERNOON STORMS BACK TOWARDS THE INTERIOR. THE
MAV POPS SHOW A LITTLE LOWER POPS ALONG THE NORTH COAST (30
PERCENT) BUT WILL NOT CHANGE CURRENT AREAWIDE 40 POPS SINCE IF
THERE IS ANY REMAINING WESTERLY STEERING FLOW...IT WILL BE IN THE
NORTH. MAV POPS ARE ACTUALLY SHOWING HIGHER POPS DOWN SOUTH ALONG
THE TREASURE COAST BUT DEEPENING ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD STEER ANY
SHOWERS/STORMS FURTHER INLAND. MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOWER POPS HERE TO
30%.

WED-FRI (PREVIOUS)...LOW/MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL LIE NORTH OF
THE AREA. THE GFS STILL SHOWS TROPICAL WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE
CARIBBEAN WED AND INTO THE SOUTHEAST GULF THU. MOISTURE IS
FORECAST TO START INCREASING IN THE SOUTH WED...THEN ACROSS THE
AREA ON THU AS NORTHERN PORTION OF WAVE SHEARS OFF AND BEGINS TO
ROTATE AROUND LOW LEVEL RIDGE. THIS FEATURE SHOULD SHIFT NORTH ON
FRI AND THE LATEST GFS IS SHOWING SOME DRYING COMMENCING IN THE
SOUTH. HAVE 30/40 POPS NORTH/SOUTH ON WED/THU LOWERING TO 30
PERCENT AREAWIDE ON FRI. ALSO INCLUDED SOME OVERNIGHT POPS IN THE
SOUTH WED NIGHT DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE WAVE.

NEXT WEEKEND (PREVIOUS)...TROUGHING FORECAST TO EVOLVE OVER THE
EASTERN CONUS ONCE AGAIN BUT REMAIN FURTHER NORTH THAN THE MOST
RECENT ONE. LOW LEVEL RIDGE SHOULD SHIFT SOUTH A LITTLE AND EXTEND
ACROSS THE AREA. THE LATEST GFS SHOWS MID LEVEL RIDGING OVERHEAD
SO POPS SHOULD BE BELOW NORMAL AND WILL NUDGE THEM DOWNWARD TO 30
PERCENT AREAWIDE.

&&

.AVIATION...AN INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF STORMS AS
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND OTHER STORMS COLLIDE WITH THE EAST COAST
SEA BREEZE. TEMPO IFR CONDS 20Z-23Z WITH CONVECTIVE WIND GUSTS IN
EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS POSS AT MLB/VRB/FPR. OUTFLOW FROM EARLIER
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM OVER NORTH FLORIDA SHOULD KEEP DAB/MCO/SFB
MOSTLY VFR BUT ISOLD TSRA MAY REDEVELOP IN LATE AFTN HEATING.

&&

.MARINE...FLOW REGIME WILL TRANSITION TO ONSHORE TUE IN THE SOUTH
BUT NORTHERN SECTIONS WILL HOLD ONTO LIGHT SW TUE AS SURFACE RIDGE
AXIS BEGINS TO LIFT NORTHWARD TONIGHT. DO NOT SEE WINDS MUCH OVER
10 KNOTS...EXCEPT MAYBE ACROSS THE SOUTH WED AS TROPICAL WAVE
MOVES BY TO THE SOUTH. THIS WAVE MAY BRING AN INCREASE IN
SHOWERS/STORMS IN THE SOUTH WED AND ACROSS THE WATERS WED NIGHT
INTO EARLY THU. THE LATEST WAVE WATCH STILL SHOWS RATHER BENIGN
SEAS TUE THEN INCREASES THEM WED-THU PRIMARILY DUE TO AN EAST
SWELL...BUT SOME INCREASE IN WIND WAVE IS ALSO EXPECTED WED IN THE
SOUTH.

ARE POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM ONE HALF TO ONE INCH
CAN BE EXPECTED IN LOCATIONS WHERE THUNDERSTORMS OCCUR.

...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
SOUTHWEST STEERING FLOW WILL PUSH ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT FORM
OVER LAND OFFSHORE THIS AFTERNOON AFFECTING THE INTRACOASTAL AND
NEAR SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS. WIND GUSTS OF 35 KNOTS OR GREATER AND
FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING STRIKES WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS THAT MOVE INTO THE COASTAL WATERS.

ALL BOATERS...ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH AN OPEN CRAFT...ARE URGED TO
MAINTAIN A CLOSE WATCH ON THE WEATHER IF VENTURING OUT TODAY.

...WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
ISOLATED TORNADIC WATERSPOUTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS
THAT MOVE OFFSHORE ALONG THE INTRACOASTAL AND NEAR SHORE WATERS OF
THE TREASURE COAST.
