The radar

The Melbourne radar (KMLB), 31 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 19:14 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Cape Canaveral, FL (KXMR), launched 12:00Z, 7.2 hours before the alert went out and 19 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

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 15, 2:46 PM EDT, 28 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 15, 2:46 PM EDT, 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...RETRANSMISSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
246 PM EDT WED JUL 15 2015

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENT-TODAY...ANOTHER EARLY START TO CONVECTION TODAY WITH MORE
COVERAGE THAN THE PREVIOUS DAY. MICROBURST POTENTIAL HIGH WITH MANY
CELLS ALREADY EXHIBITING STRONG GUSTS AT THE SURFACE. OTHER THREATS
INCLUDE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. SCT-NMRS
COVERAGE MOVING EASTWARD WILL PUSH OFFSHORE AND DISSIPATE THIS
EVENING. CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS WILL GIVE WAY TO PARTLY CLOUDY
SKIES LATER TONIGHT. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL FALL TO LIGHT. OVERNIGHT
LOWS WELL INTO THE 70S AGAIN.

THU-FRI...THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS WILL REMAIN SUPPRESSED ACROSS SOUTH
FLORIDA AND THE FLORIDA STRAITS. SW-WSW FLOW CONTINUES EACH DAY BUT
IT WILL BE A BIT LIGHTER ON FRI...POSSIBLY ALLOWING FOR THE EAST
COAST SEA BREEZE TO DEVELOP BUT PUSH INLAND STILL LIKELY
DELAYED/LIMITED. NUMEROUS WORDING FOR SHRA/TSRA COVERAGE FORECAST
EACH DAY WITH THE EASTERN PENINSULA FAVORED STILL AGAIN FOR A
MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION. THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE WILL EXPAND EAST
FROM TEXAS AND INTO THE DEEP SOUTH THROUGH THIS TIME BUMPING
TROUGHINESS INTO THE WESTERN ATLC. HIGHS CONTINUE IN THE LOW TO MID
90S AREAWIDE. LOWS WILL KEEP IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 70S.

...PREVIOUS EXTENDED FORECAST...

SAT-TUE...WINDS THRU THE COLUMN WILL DIMINISH THRU THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND AS A  WEAK REFLECTION OF THE DEPARTING TROF KEEPS THE ATLC
RIDGE AXIS FROM DRIFTING ANY FARTHER N THAN THE I-4 CORRIDOR.
MEANWHILE...THE ANTICYCLONE OVER THE DEEP SOUTH WILL TRY TO MERGE
WITH THE ATLC RIDGE...EVENTUALLY "MIXING IT UP" WITH THE REMNANT
TROF TO EFFECTIVELY COLLAPSE THE REGIONAL PGRAD THRU THE H100-H50
LYR. RESULTING MEAN WINDS WILL DIMINISH TO AOB 5KTS.

WITH SUCH WEAK ENVIRONMENTAL FLOW IN PLACE...BOTH EAST AND WEST
COAST SEA BREEZES WILL FORM BY MIDDAY AND PUSH WELL INLAND.
LINGERING WRLY WINDS THRU H100-H70 WILL ALLOW STORMS TO CONCENTRATE
MORE ON THE E FL COAST THRU THE WEEKEND...BUT WITH COVERAGE
DIMINISHING DUE TO LACK OF ANY MEANINGFUL STEERING WINDS. TEMPS NEAR
OR SLIGHTLY ABV AVG FOR MID SUMMER.

&&

.AVIATION...SCT-NMRS SHRA/TSRA MOVING ACROSS ECFL THIS AFTN. WITH
DRIER AIR ALOFT IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH FOR LOCALLY STRONG DOWNBURST
WINDS...FROM QUICKLY INTENSIFYING PULSE STORMS. TEMPO IFR/MVFR
VSBYS/CIGS IN +TSRA.  ACTIVITY TO WIND DOWN THIS EVENING AS IT
PUSHES OFF THE COAST. THE WRF/GFS AGAIN HINT AT AN EARLY START TO
CONVECTION ON THE WCNTRL FL COAST FOR THU. NMRS SHRA/TSRA COVERAGE
EXPECTED THU AFTN OVER THE AREA. THE DEEPER SW/W FLOW CONTINUES INTO
THU.

&&

.MARINE...AFTERNOON-TONIGHT...SURFACE RIDGE AXIS REMAINS WELL SOUTH
OF THE AREA. SW/WSW FLOW 10-15 KTS NEAR SHORE AND 15 KTS WELL
OFFSHORE...POSSIBLY 15-20 KTS WELL OFFSHORE VOLUSIA COAST OVERNIGHT.
SEAS 1-2 FT NEAR SHORE AND 2-3 FT OFFSHORE...POTENTIALLY 3-4 FT WELL
OFFSHORE VOLUSIA COAST. GREATEST MARINE THREAT REMAINS OFFSHORE
MOVING SCATTERED-NUMEROUS STRONG STORMS WITH WIND GUSTS 40-55 KTS.

THU-SUN...PREVIOUS...GENERALLY FAVORABLE BOATING CONDS THRU THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND. ATLC RIDGE AXIS OVER THE FL STRAITS WILL SLOWLY
DRIFT NWD INTO CENTRAL FL AS A DEEP TROF E OF THE APPALACHIANS
PUSHES OFFSHORE AND LIFTS INTO THE N ATLC. GENTLE TO MODERATE S/SW
BREEZE THRU FRI...BCMG A LIGHT TO GENTLE SRLY BREEZE OVER THE
WEEKEND. WINDS BMCG S/SE ALONG THE COAST EACH AFTN WITH THE
FORMATION OF THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE. PRIMARY MARINE THREAT WILL
BE AFTN/EVNG TSRAS MVG OFFSHORE CAPABLE OF GENERATING G35KTS.
