What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Dec 9, 10:26 AM EST, 5 hours 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 9, 10:26 AM EST, 5 hours 36 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
1026 AM EST Sun Dec 9 2018

.DISCUSSION...
Band of rain with embedded storms out ahead of a strong cold front
is currently moving through northern portions of east central
Florida this morning. This feature will continue to progress
south and east through Brevard, Okeechobee County and the Treasure
Coast through the afternoon, with rain chances remaining high
across the entire area. Potential for strong to isolated severe
storms with this band continues, but will decrease into late
afternoon as core of stronger low level winds out of the SW push
offshore. Limited heating from cloud cover and marginal
instability will continue to be the limiting factors today for
stronger storms. However, localized damaging winds and isolated
tornado threat will persist, especially with any storms moving
through areas north of Okeechobee County and the Treasure Coast
though late morning and early afternoon. Rain chances will
decrease into the late afternoon and evening from north to south
as band continues eastward and offshore.

&&

.AVIATION...Predominant IFR/MVFR conditions will occur with band
of rain and embedded storms currently moving through central
Florida ahead of a cold front. LLWS with S/SW winds just off the
surface up to 35-40 knots is still expected through late morning
to early afternoon for northern TAF sites, especially where winds
at the surface may not become quite as gusty due to limited
daytime heating. Potential for gusty winds in excess of 40 knots
still expected with any storms as this band moves through. Behind
the cold front, MVFR stratus is expected to persist across most
of the terminals through the overnight.

&&

.MARINE...Poor to hazardous boating conditions will persist across
the waters today, with southerly winds 20-25 knots offshore and
20 knots not far off the coast, north of Sebastian Inlet. Small
Craft Advisory continues for much of the waters, with occasional
gusts to Gale force still possible offshore (beyond 20 miles).
Seas will build 6-8 feet offshore but remain 4-5 ft near the coast
due to the offshore flow. Will maintain a Caution for the
nearshore Treasure coast with 15-20 knots.
