Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

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 tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Jun 6, 10:51 AM EDT, 1 hour 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 10:51 AM EDT, 1 hour 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
1051 AM EDT THU JUN 6 2013

.DISCUSSION...

...HEAVY RAIN AND TORNADO THREAT CONTINUING THROUGH EVENING...

TODAY-TONIGHT...LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST THINKING.
ANDREA CONTINUES TO PUSH NORTHEAST ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF OF
MEXICO.  AN OUTER RAINBAND PUSHED ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA THIS
MORNING AND PRODUCED A FEW ROTATING STORMS AND TORNADO WARNINGS BUT
THERE HAVE BEEN NO DAMAGE REPORTS. THIS BAND HAS PUSHED INTO THE
ATLANTIC. THE PRIMARY RAINBAND ASSOCIATED WITH ANDREA WAS PUSHING
INTO WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF LIGHTNING WITH
THIS BAND OUT OVER THE GULF AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL REMAIN STRONG
THROUGH AFTERNOON. SO DESPITE OVERCAST SKIES...THE THREAT FOR
TORNADOES WILL CONTINUE AND THE WATCH HAS BEEN EXTENDED IN
EVENING.

THE OTHER CONCERN WILL BE HEAVY RAIN. RAINFALL AMOUNTS SO FAR HAVE
RANGED FROM AROUND 1 INCH TO 3 INCHES THE PAST 48 HOURS WITH A FEW
SPOTS IN OUR NORTHERN AREAS GETTING AROUND 5 INCHES. THE NEXT
RAINBAND SHOULD DUMP A COUPLE MORE INCHES. WILL HAVE TO WATCH
SOUTHERN SECTIONS WHERE THERE ARE INDICATIONS THE RAINBAND MAY
BECOME ORIENTED WITH THE MEAN WIND FLOW AND SET UP A TRAINING
SITUATION. THIS WOULD LIKELY BE OVER THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE
PENINSULA...LINGERING INTO THE EVENING AND AFFECTING MAINLY OUR
COUNTIES AROUND LAKE OKEECHOBEE.

&&

.AVIATION...
EXPECT PREVAILING MVFR CIGS AS RAINBANDS ASSOCD WITH TS ANDREA
LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE TERMINALS. THERE SHOULD ALSO BE PERIODS OF
IFR CIGS WITH THE HEAVIER BANDS ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS UP TO 30
KNOTS. THE RAINY CONDITIONS SHOULD START TO DIMINISH LATER IN THE
EVENING BUT LINGERING MVFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY/TONIGHT...POOR BOATING CONDITIONS. INCREASING SOUTHEAST TO
SOUTH WINDS AS TS ANDREA LIFTS NE FROM THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO
AND ACROSS THE FL BIG BEND THIS EVENING. THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS AND
FORECAST LOW LEVEL WINDS SUPPORT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR ALL OF OUR
WATERS SO WILL ISSUE ONE FOR OUR SOUTHERN ZONES.  BANDS OF
CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS THE WATERS WILL BRING GUSTY WINDS AND A
THREAT FOR WATERSPOUTS INTO EVENING.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
TROPICAL STORM ANDREA WAS LOCATED OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO
LATE THIS MORNING AND WILL MOVE TOWARD THE NORTH NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE EARLY THIS EVENING. INCREASING LOW
LEVEL WINDS AND SHEAR WILL PRODUCE A THREAT FOR TORNADOES WITHIN
NORTHWARD MOVING RAINBANDS. A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF
OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
A FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. BANDS

AMOUNTS THROUGH TONIGHT. AS A RESULT...THERE SHOULD BE MORE
WIDESPREAD MINOR FLOODING OF STREETS AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS THAN
PREVIOUS DAYS.

.HIGH WIND IMPACT...
TROPICAL STORM ANDREA WILL PRODUCE WINDY CONDITIONS FROM THE
SOUTHEAST AT 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH. SUCH STRONG WINDS
WILL PRODUCE ROUGH CONDITIONS ON AREA LAKES AND THE INTRACOASTAL
WATERS. A LAKE WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT.

.WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
INCREASING LOW LEVEL SHEAR ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF TROPICAL
STORM ANDREA WILL MAKE CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR ISOLATED TORNADIC
WATERSPOUTS.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE VOLUSIA AND BREVARD
ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS OUT TO 60 MILES FOR SOUTHEAST WINDS
INCREASING TO 20 TO 30 KNOTS. OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO TROPICAL STORM
FORCE WILL BE POSSIBLE MAINLY OFFSHORE VOLUSIA COUNTY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
HAZARDOUS BOATING CONDITIONS WITH ROUGH SEAS AND AN INCREASED
THREAT FOR RIP CURRENTS WILL LINGER INTO THE WEEKEND.
