The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jun 4, 1:29 PM EST, 3 hours 4 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 229 PM EDT FRI JUN 4 2010 .DISCUSSION...MODERATE/DEEP SW FLOW WITHIN MOIST (2.00 INCH PRECIPITABLE WATER) ENVIRONMENT WILL LEAD TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF STORMS OVER THE INTERIOR PENINSULA THROUGH MID/LATE AFTERNOON...WORKING E/NE AT 10-15 KT TOWARD AND OFFSHORE THE EAST COAST THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. GREATEST STORMS THREATS WILL BE FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND LOCAL/BRIEF TORRENTIAL RAINFALL. LOCALIZED WIND GUSTS OF 40-45 MPH POSSIBLE NEAR DEEPEST CONVECTION. ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST BY EARLY EVENING...WITH A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS/STORMS POSSIBLE UNTIL LATER IN THE EVENING NEAR THE EAST COAST. WEEKEND...CUT-OFF LOW OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION WILL DRIFT UP THE MS RIVER VALLEY WHERE IT WILL MERGE WITH A WEAK SFC TROF OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY 00Z SUN. THE MERGER SHOULD OCCUR FAR ENOUGH TO THE N TO EMBED THE RESULTING STORM SYSTEM WELL WITHIN A STRONG ZONAL FLOW PATTERN OVER THE NRN HALF OF THE CONUS. THE FLOW WILL THEN PUSH THE STORM RAPIDLY ACRS THE MIDWEST BY 12Z SUN...THEN OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST BY 00Z MON...WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ALLOWING IT TO DEVELOP INTO A LARGE SHORT WAVE TROF THAT WILL ENCOMPASS MUCH OF THE CONUS E OF THE MS RIVER. THE PERSISTENT TROFING PATTERN OVER THE ERN CONUS WILL KEEP THE DLM ATLC AXIS SUPPRESSED OVER THE S FL PENINSULA...WHICH IN TURN WILL RESULT IN A W/SWRLY FLOW ACRS THE CENTRAL PENINSULA THRU THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE FLOW PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO PACK DIURNAL CONVECTION OVER THE E CENTRAL PENINSULA. DRIER MID LVL AIR OVER THE WRN GOMEX SHOULD WORK ITS WAY INTO THE FL PENINSULA ON SAT. WHILE THIS SHOULD RESULT IN DECREASED STORM COVERAGE COMPARED WITH TODAY (WILL GO WITH 40% INTERIOR/50% COASTAL)...IT WILL INCREASE THE THREAT FOR STRONG TO SVR CONVECTION AS THE DRY AIR GENERATES STEEPER MID LVL LAPSE RATES. AS THE FRONTAL TROF WILL PUSHES INTO THE DEEP SOUTH ON SUN...A CONFLUENT WX PATTERN WILL RESULT AS IT INTERACTS WITH THE RIDGE AXIS OVER S FL...WITH THE CENTRAL PENINSULA SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE TWO. DLM MOISTURE WILL BE "SQUEEZED" BY THE CONFLUENT FLOW...WHILE THE SWRLY STEERING WINDS CONTINUE TO PACK DIURNAL CONVECTION OVER THE ERN PENINSULA. WILL PUSH POPS BACK TO 50% INTERIOR/60% COASTAL. WARM SW FLOW WILL KEEP MAX TEMPS IN THE L/M90S AND MIN TEMPS IN THE M70S THRU THE WEEKEND. MON-FRI...WRN EXTENSION OF THE DLM RIDGE MAY PINCH OFF INTO THE GOMEX EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE FRONTAL TROF PUSHES INTO THE DEEP SOUTH. MID RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THE FRONTAL TROF WILL PUSH THROUGH THE CENTRAL PENINSULA MON AFTN AND INTO THE S FL PENINSULA MON NIGHT. WHILE THIS IS AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE FOR THE WARM SEASON...IT IS FEASIBLE AS A HIGH PRES RIDGE BUILDS DOWN OUT OF THE NRN ROCKIES AND CENTRAL PLAINS BEHIND THE TROF. SHOULD THE RIDGE OVER THE GOMEX MERGE WITH THE CONTINENTAL RIDGE...THEIR COMBINED STRENGTH MAY PRODUCE JUST ENOUGH OF A NRLY WIND COMPONENT TO SHUNT THE TROF AXIS INTO S FL BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. N/NE FLOW WOULD RESULT BEHIND THE TROF...WHICH IS CLIMATOLOGICALLY ONE OF THE MOST STABLE WX PATTERNS FOR THE FL PENINSULA. NOT READY TO DROP PRECIP OUT OF THE FCST COMPLETELY... BUT WILL TREND POPS DOWN TO AOB 30% THRU WED NIGHT...AND CONT BLO 50% THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE FCST PD. NO INDICATION THE ANTICIPATED PATTERN WILL RESULT IN ANY SIG WARMING OR COOLING TREND...MAX/MIN TEMPS SLIGHTLY ABV CLIMO AVG...BUT NOT BY MORE THAN ~5F DEG. && .AVIATION...COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER THE INTERIOR PENINSULA 19-21Z...BECOMING MOST CONCENTRATED NEAR THE EAST COAST 21-23Z. WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 40KT POSSIBLE WITH SOME OF THE DEEPER CONVECTION. CONVECTION WILL DECREASE AFTER 23Z...ESPECIALLY INLAND...BUT WITH A FEW LINGER SHOWERS/STORMS POSSIBLE CLOSE TO THE COAST INTO THE EVENING. MVFR CEILINGS LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WILL IMPROVE TO MAINLY VFR LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS EXPECTED SAT...BUT WILL A LITTLE LOWER COVERAGE COMPARED WITH TODAY. EARLIEST DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED INLAND BY EARLY AFTERNOON...THEN MOST LIKELY NEAR EAST COAST BY LATE AFTERNOON. BETTER CHANCE FOR AN ATLANTIC SEA BREEZE SATURDAY AFTERNOON...BUT LIKELY REMAINING PINNED NEAR COAST...WOULD PROMPT POSSIBLE HIGHER COVERAGE/INTENSITY AFT 21Z. && .MARINE...THROUGH TONIGHT...MAIN HAZARD WILL BE OFFSHORE MOVG STORMS. OUTSIDE OF STORMS... RATHER BENIGN CONDS WITH SRLY WINDS BLO 15KT AND SEAS A FT NEAR SHORE AND 2 TO 2.5FT OFFSHORE. WINDS/SEAS HIGHER NEAR TS. SAT-WED...DLM RIDGE AXIS OVER THE S FL PENINSULA/FL STRAITS THRU EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL GENERATE A GENTLE TO MODERATE SWRLY BREEZE. SHORT FETCH LENGTH DUE TO THE OFFSHORE FLOW...KEEPING SEAS AOB 2FT NEARSHORE AND AOB 3FT OFFSHORE. SFC/BNDRY LYR WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE N/NE TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS A WEAK TROF PUSHES ACRS THE PENINSULA.
