The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Aug 1, 9:38 PM EDT, 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 9:38 PM EDT, 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 938 PM EDT Mon Aug 1 2022 .DISCUSSION... Current-Overnight...A little cooler aloft (-8C at 500 mb) and additional moisture allowing for more convection than we have seen recently from evening sea breeze collision just west of Lake George through western Orange and northwest Osceola counties. With the later collision and slow movement of activity, expect convection will wind down through late evening, with a few cells possibly hanging on past midnight across the interior. SE flow near 10 mph behind the sea breeze will become light and generally southerly overnight. Mins will slowly fall into the M-U70s late tonight into Tue morning. Tuesday (modified previous)...The Atlantic ridge will remain draped over central Florida with predominate south to southeasterly flow. Guidance indicates that weak troughing will setup over northern Florida. Additionally, weak pulses of energy are expected near the area as a weak inverted trough continues to diminish while approaching the east coast of Florida. Scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms are expected across central Florida in the afternoon and evening. The highest chances for rain will be across the interior (~50-60%) with lower chances near the coast (~30-40%). Drier air and cooler temps (~-7C) aloft will mean that any strong storms that develop will have the potential to produce wind gusts up to 50 mph, frequent lightning strikes, heavy rainfall, minor flooding due to slow/erratic storm motion, and small hail. High temperatures will reach the low 90s along the coast and mid 90s inland. && .AVIATION...VFR conditions outside of convection. A late sea breeze collision over the interior will produce ISOLD to SCT lightning storms this evening. VCTS at KMCO/KSFB/KISM/KLEE through 02/03Z. TEMPO MVFR in convection. Winds become light and variable to calm overnight. High pops (50-60pct) across most of east central FL on Tue, and VCTS at all terminals. VCTS to start along the coast around 16-17Z and at inland terminals around 18Z. Not enough confidence for TEMPOs at this time but will likely need to be added with future TAF packages. && .MARINE...Overnight-Tue...Favorable boating conditions are forecast to continue. The Atlantic ridge will remain elongated across the area with south to southeasterly winds. A few showers may develop again late tonight into early Tue morning offshore from the Treasure Coast. SE winds around 10-12 kts veering SW and diminishing to 5-10 kts through daybreak. Seas 2-3ft. Expect winds around 10-12 kts to develop in the afternoon Tue along the coast with the sea breeze. && .MLB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FL...None. AM...None. && Sedlock/Rodriguez/Law

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening, especially along the east coast sea breeze and west of Interstate 95. Stronger storms may produce gusty winds up to 50 mph, frequent lightning strikes, and small hail. Slow and erratic storm motions could lead to locally heavy rainfall of 1 to 3 inches in a short period of time which could lead to minor flooding of low-lying and poor drainage areas. Move indoors to safety at the first sign of threatening skies, or if you hear thunder. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... Highs will reach the low 90s near the coast and the mid 90s across the interior. Afternoon heat indices will generally range from 100 to 105, especially west of I-95. Heat indices in Okeechobee County may reach up to 106 to 107 this afternoon. If outdoors today, make sure to stay hydrated and take plenty of breaks in air conditioned spaces. Also, never leave children or pets in a vehicle unattended. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Isolated thunderstorms that develop over inland lakes and along the coast later today will be capable of producing wind gusts of 30 to 40 knots. Storm motions will be slow and erratic. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. Coverage of rain and lightning storms will gradually increase this week, especially during the latter half of the week, as moisture increases. The east coast sea breeze will continue to focus the highest coverage of afternoon and evening storms along and west of Interstate 95. The strongest storms will be capable of gusty winds, frequent lightning strikes, and torrential downpours. Afternoon temperatures in the low to mid 90s and peak heat index values of 100 to 105 are expected through the week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. Tollefsen/Leahy/Schaper
