Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 7 minutes after it went out.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

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 Jul 18, 2:42 PM EDT, 4 hours 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 18, 2:42 PM EDT, 4 hours 26 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
242 PM EDT SAT JUL 18 2009

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENT...SEA BREEZE SOUTH OF THE CAPE HAVING A TOUGHER TIME
DEVELOPING TODAY WITH A LITTLE STRONGER LOW LEVEL SW FLOW. THERE ARE
INDICATIONS OF THE BOUNDARY FORMING OFFSHORE ON KMLB RADAR BUT
LATEST KXMR SOUNDING SHOWING 925MB WINDS AROUND 15 KTS. IF SEA
BREEZE DOES PUSH ONSHORE IT MOST LIKELY WILL NOT MAKE IT VERY FAR
INLAND LATE THIS AFTERNOON. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS WITH THE
SEA BREEZE FROM CONVECTION PUSHING E/NE ACROSS THE PENINSULA COULD
CREATE A FEW STRONG STORMS ALONG THE COAST THROUGH SUNSET. WILL
THEREFORE KEEP A PRE-FIRST PERIOD IN THE ZONES.

TONIGHT/SUNDAY...FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN OVER NORTHERN FLORIDA
WITH DEEP MOISTURE BAND OVER THE NORTHERN CWA. WILL KEEP A CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS/STORMS OVER THE NORTH FOR TONIGHT AS ANOTHER VORT MAX
LOOKS TO ROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE AREA
OVERNIGHT. UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES AND DEEP MOISTURE AROUND 2
INCHES OVER THE NORTH SHOULD MAKE FOR ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY WITH
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING EASTWARD
ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. STEERING FLOW LOOKS SLIGHT WEAKER HOWEVER SO
CONVECTION SHOULD NOT MOVE SO QUICKLY. LOWER MAX TEMPS OVER THE
NORTH DUE TO GREATER STORM COVERAGE AND SLIGHTLY STRONGER W/SW FLOW
AT 925MB SHOULD KEEP SEA BREEZE FROM DEVELOPING ONCE AGAIN NORTH OF
THE CAPE. HOWEVER FARTHER SOUTH MAY SEE SEA BREEZE DEVELOP AND MOVE
SLOWLY INLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

 ** FROM PREV DISC**

MON-FRI...MEAN UPR TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN CONUS FORECAST TO
WEAKEN THROUGH MID-WEEK. THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME MORE ZONAL AS
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING SOUTH EXPANDS WESTWARD INTO THE GOMEX. THE
LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL BECOME MORE EASTERLY BY TUE AFTERNOON WITH THE
APPROACH OF A TROPICAL WAVE WITH THE FLOW BECOMING MORE SOUTHERLY
LATE IN THE WEEK. POP CHANCES LOOK TO REMAIN SLIGHTLY ELEVATED
THROUGH THE EXTENDED (ESP TUE/WED) SUPORTED BY LTST MOS GUIDANCE
AND WILL KEEP 40%-50% GOING FOR NOW. CONSIDERING ONSHORE FETCH AND
INCRSG TROPICAL MOISTURE ASCD WITH WAVE/S ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO
MEDIUM RANGE POPS WOULD LIKELY BE TO INCREASE. HIGHS FORECAST
SLIGHTLY BELOW CLIMO WITH LOWS CONTINUING ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS.

&&

.AVIATION...
SHOULD SEE MAJORITY OF CONVECTION DIE OFF BY 00Z TONIGHT
WITH TEMPO IFR/MVFR CONDS CONTINUING IN ANY SCT SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. MAY SEE A FEW SHRA/TSRA
CONTINUE ACROSS NORTHERN TERMINALS OVERNIGHT HOWEVER WILL KEEP
PRECIP MENTION OUT OF THE TAFS FOR NOW.

&&

.MARINE...SW WINDS WILL REMAIN AROUND 5-10 KTS THROUGH TOMORROW AS
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS REMAINS SOUTH OF THE AREA. SEAS WILL RESIDE
AOB 3 FT. WEAKER W/SW STEERING FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR SLOWER OFFSHORE
MOVING STORMS SUNDAY. EASTERLIES OPEN UP WITH LONG FETCH FROM THE
OPEN ATLC FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AWHILE RESULTING SWELL SHOULD
INCREASE WAVES SOMEWHAT THROUGH MIDWEEK.

1108 AM EDT SAT JUL 18 2009

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL STREAM OFF THE GULF
OF MEXICO AND ACROSS LAKE...VOLUSIA...SEMINOLE AND ORANGE COUNTIES
WITHIN A BAND OF DEEP MOISTURE. THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM THESE
STORMS WILL BE DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND GUSTY
DOWNBURST WINDS UP TO 40 MPH AS THEY MOVE EAST TO NORTHEAST AROUND
20 TO 25 MPH.

ALTHOUGH LESS COVERAGE OF STORMS IS EXPECTED SOUTH OF ORLANDO...
A MORE UNSTABLE AIRMASS...STRONG SURFACE HEATING AND COOLING
TEMPERATURES ALOFT...WILL PRODUCE A THREAT FOR ISOLATED SEVERE
STORMS ALONG THE SPACE AND TREASURE COASTS LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE WILL LIKELY DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON FROM
THE CAPE SOUTHWARD BUT REMAIN PINNED NEAR THE BREVARD COAST...AND
MAKE ONLY MINIMAL PENETRATION INLAND FROM THE TREASURE COAST. THIS
SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY SHOULD BE THE FOCUS FOR ISOLATED LATE
AFTERNOON STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS...
HAIL AND EVEN A BRIEF TORNADO. FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING
STRIKES WILL ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR
SUCH STORMS WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 4 AND 8 PM. INDIVIDUAL CELL MOTION
WILL BE TOWARD THE EAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH.

PLAN AHEAD FOR THE ONSET OF LIGHTNING BY IDENTIFYING A CLOSE AND
SECURE SHELTER THAT YOU CAN QUICKLY MOVE TO IF A STORM APPROACHES
WHILE OUTSIDE.

...FLOOD IMPACT...
PERSISTENT BANDS OF HEAVY RAIN MOVING OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO MAY
AFFECT NORTH LAKE AND VOLUSIA COUNTIES TODAY WITH ACCUMULATIONS OF
ONE TO TWO INCHES. IN ADDITION...LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAIN FROM
STRONG STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON ALONG PORTIONS OF THE SPACE AND
TREASURE COASTS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE 2 TO 3 INCHES
OF RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME CAUSING TEMPORARY FLOODING OF
SOME ROADS AND LOW LYING AREAS.

...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
WEATHER AND OCEAN CONDITIONS WILL PRODUCE AN ELEVATED THREAT FOR
RIP CURRENTS AT THE BEACHES OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA TODAY. ALWAYS
SWIM WITHIN SIGHT OF A LIFEGUARD.

...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
SCATTERED STORMS WILL MOVE QUICKLY TOWARD THE EAST TO NORTHEAST
AROUND 20 TO 25 MPH OVER NORTHERN EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA AND OFFSHORE
OF THE VOLUSIA COUNTY COASTLINE THIS AFTERNOON. ADDITIONAL STORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE AND MOVE
EAST TO NORTHEAST AROUND 15 TO 20 MPH LATE THIS AFTERNOON FROM THE
CAPE SOUTHWARD. THE SEA BREEZE WILL MAKE LITTLE INLAND PENETRATION
SO STORMS MAY DEVELOP OVER THE INTRACOASTAL WATERS. BOATERS SHOULD
ANTICIPATE MARINE WARNINGS AS STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF WIND GUSTS
35 KNOTS OR HIGHER AND FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
STORM COVERAGE WILL REMAIN SCATTERED THROUGH MONDAY...WITH THE
BEST CHANCE FOR STORM FORMATION ALONG THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY
COLLISIONS. THESE ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER THE COASTAL COUNTIES.
ISOLATED STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING
WILL BE THE PRIMARY STORM THREAT. A TROPICAL WAVE MAY BRING A
HIGHER CHANCE FOR RAIN DURING THE MID TO LATE WEEK.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE
IF NEEDED.
