The episode as NWS MLB wrote it up.
Several severe thunderstorms developed ahead of a boundary in northwest flow. Additional storms formed along the east coast sea breeze and outflow boundaries and propagated to the south southeast. These storms produced hail of up to golf ball size and winds up to 67 mph.

NWS Melbourne, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 15, 1:37 PM EST, 15 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
237 PM EDT WED JUN 15 2011
.DISCUSSION...
...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA UNTIL 8 PM...
CURRENT-TONIGHT...HEAT INDEX VALUES WELL OVER 100 DEGREES EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON WITH COMBINED CURRENT HOT TEMPERATURE READINGS AND
DEWPOINT VALUES. AFTERNOON KXMR SOUNDING SHOWS A VERY UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERIC PROFILE AND COOL TEMPERATURES ALOFT AT 500 MB ~ -8C/-9C.
DUE TO INTENSE SURFACE HEATING AND INCREASED DEEP LAYER MOISTURE
~1.70 INCHES...SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS ERUPTED ALONG THE NORTH OF
THE I-4 CORRIDOR. THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY IS ALSO
BEGINNING TO MOVE ONSHORE ACROSS THE EAST COAST. THIS FEATURE WILL
BE A PLAYER FOR AFTERNOON/EVENING STORM DEVELOPMENT...SOME STRONG TO
SEVERE. THERE WILL BE A COLLISION BETWEEN THE EAST/WEST SEA BREEZES
LATE IN DAY OVER THE INTERIOR AND SUBSEQUENT MESOSCALE BOUNDARY
COLLISIONS WILL AGAIN ENHANCE CONVECTION. INITIAL STORM MOTION WILL
BE TOWARD THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST AT 10 TO 15 MPH.
THE MAIN THREAT FROM STORMS TODAY WILL BE FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE
LIGHTNING...DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND TORRENTIAL
DOWNPOURS. CONVECTION SHOULD WIND DOWN AROUND MID EVENING.
OVERNIGHT LOW MIN TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
70S.
THU...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC CONTINUES TO
STRENGTHEN AND SHIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD. THIS WILL PROMOTE AN
EAST-SOUTHEAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. EXPECT
AN EARLIER ONSET AND INLAND MOVEMENT OF THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE
BOUNDARY. FORECAST MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE COOLER ON
THE ORDER OF ~ -10C. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE BETWEEN 1.6
AND 1.7 INCHES. THE STEERING FLOW ALOFT WILL BE RELATIVELY WEAK
THOUGH WILL EVENTUALLY FAVOR INTERIOR SECTIONS FOR AFTERNOON STORM
CHANCES. WILL CONTINUE POPS ABOVE GUIDANCE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE (20
PERCENT) MENTION ALONG THE EAST COAST AND LOW END CHANCE (30
PERCENT) INTO THE INTERIOR. WITH SOME COOLER AND DRIER AIR FORECAST
ALOFT THIS COULD LEAD TO A FEW STRONG STORMS. AFTERNOON HIGHS
EXPECTED IN THE LOWER 90S ALONG THE COAST AND MIDDLE AND POSSIBLY
UPPER 90S INTO THE INTERIOR.
FRI-SUN...(PREVIOUS) WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL SHIFT TO THE EASTERN
SEABOARD NORTH OF THE AREA. SURFACE RIDGE AXIS IS FORECAST TO
EXTEND ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA THEN SHIFT TO THE SOUTH ON SUN. THIS
WOULD PLACE THE GREATEST MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ACROSS NORTHERN
AREAS AND THE GFS/ECMWF DO SHOW A POCKET OF DRIER AIR ADVECTING IN
OFF THE ATLANTIC IN SOUTHERN SECTIONS FRI AND ESPECIALLY SAT.
MAV MOS POPS FOR FRI-SAT ARE LESS THAN 15 PERCENT...AND EVEN LESS
THAN 10 PERCENT ON SAT. SINCE THERE HAS BEEN SOME DAILY CONVECTION
RECENTLY...WILL GO 20 PERCENT ON FRI ACROSS THE AREA AND 20 POPS
ACROSS THE INTERIOR ON SAT. BY SUN THE SURFACE RIDGE SHOULD BE
SHIFTING BACK TO THE SOUTH ALONG WITH ZONE OF GREATER MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE...SO WILL FOLLOW MOS GUIDANCE WHICH HAS 20 POPS.
MON-WED...THE 00Z GFS SHOWS FLOW OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE
COUNTRY BECOMING MORE AMPLIFIED WITH TROUGH DROPPING DOWN THE
EASTERN SEABOARD...RESULTING IN NORTH FLOW ALOFT. POSSIBLE
DISTURBANCES DROPPING SOUTH ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS TROUGH MAY
INCREASE STORM CHANCES...THOUGH THIS PATTERN IS USUALLY NOT A HIGH
COVERAGE ONE. MOS POPS TREND UP TO 30-40 PERCENT...AND HAVE CAPPED
THEM AT 30 PERCENT THROUGH THIS PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION...
WILL NOT RULE OUT SOME LCL MVFR VSBYS/CIGS DUE TO BR LATE
OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY THU MORNING WITH RECENT MOISTURE...ALONG WITH
SOME FU/HZ FROM RECENT BRUSH FIRES AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS. SCT WET
MICROBURST TYPE STORMS REMAIN POSSIBLE THIS AFTN/EVENING FROM
INTENSE SFC HEATING...SEA BREEZE COLLISIONS AND SUBSEQUENT
MESOSCALE BOUNDARY COLLISIONS. FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTING
STRIKES...COIN SIZE HAIL MAY ACCOMPANY A FEW STORMS.
&&
.MARINE...
TONIGHT-THU...HIGH PRESSURE JUST OFF OF THE CAROLINA COAST
WILL BEGIN TO DRIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD AND GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN INTO
THU. THE ASSOCIATED RIDGE AXIS WILL BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED OVER THE
CENTRAL FL PENINSULA. OFFSHORE BUOYS CONTINUE TO SHOW CHOPPY 3-5
SECOND DOMINANT WAVE PERIODS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON THOUGH THEY ARE
FORECAST TO LENGTHEN LATER TODAY. WESTERLY WINDS ARE SLOWLY BECOMING
ONSHORE WITH DEVELOPMENT AND INLAND PROGRESSION OF THE EAST COAST
SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY. WINDS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN ESE/SE
OVERNIGHT/THU WITH WINDS MAINLY AOB 12 KTS...PERHAPS AS HIGH AS 15
KTS OFFSHORE LATE IN THE DAY ON THU. SEAS 1-2 FT NEAR SHORE AND
2-2.5 FT OFFSHORE.
STILL POSSIBILITY FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP OVER THE INTRACOASTAL AND
NEAR SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS. A FEW STORMS ALONG THE COAST COULD
PRODUCE FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING STRIKES...COIN SIZE HAIL AND
STRONG WINDS CAUSING LOCALLY HIGHER SEAS. A WATERSPOUT MAY ALSO BE
POSSIBLE.
THU-FRI...SURFACE RIDGE AXIS WILL EXTEND ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA.
THIS WILL PROVIDE A SOUTH/SOUTHEAST WIND FLOW ACROSS THE NORTH AND
EAST/SOUTHEAST IN THE SOUTH. SOME LATE DAY TO EVENING INCREASE IS
INDICATED IN THE NORTH TO AROUND 15 KNOTS EACH DAY.
WEEKEND...SURFACE RIDGE AXIS IS FORECAST TO REMAIN ACROSS CENTRAL
FLORIDA. LITTLE CHANGE IN THE LATE WEEK WIND REGIME IS INDICATED
WITH SOUTHEAST WINDS IN THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST/SOUTH WINDS ACROSS
THE NORTH. SPEEDS SHOULD BE LESS THAN 15 KNOTS.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
REMAINDER OF AFTERNOON-EVENING...HIGHER DEWPOINT
READINGS THIS AFTERNOON KEEPING CRITICAL LEVELS OF LOW RH AT BAY.
HEAT INDICES WELL OVER 100 DEGREES THRU-OUT ECFL. WILL NEED TO
MONITOR FOR A FEW STRONG STORMS WITH POTENTIAL FOR FREQUENT TO
EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING STRIKES AND STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS.
THU...MIN RH VALUES ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN 40 PERCENT OR HIGHER.
WINDS BELOW 15 MPH EXPECTED EXCEPT FOR A SHORT PERIOD AS THE SEA
BREEZE MOVES INLAND. COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON-EVENING LIGHTNING STORMS
IS FORECAST TO REMAIN ISOLATED.
FRI-SUN...(PREV) MIN RH VALUES ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN 40 PERCENT
OR HIGHER. WINDS BELOW 15 MPH EXPECTED EXCEPT FOR A SHORT PERIOD
AS THE SEA BREEZE MOVES INLAND EACH AFTERNOON. COVERAGE OF
AFTERNOON- EVENING LIGHTNING STORMS IS FORECAST TO REMAIN
ISOLATED.

AMPLE MOISTURE COMBINED WITH A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH AND AFTERNOON HEATING WILL PRODUCE SCATTERED STRONG LIGHTNING STORMS OVER EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA FROM MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. DEVELOPING STORMS WILL MOVE TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST AROUND 15 TO 20 MPH AND THE STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG GUSTY WINDS ABOVE 50 MPH...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...TORRENTIAL RAINFALL AND SMALL HAIL. A FEW STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE...PRODUCING WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH ALONG WITH COIN SIZE HAIL...EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING ALONG WITH A THE POSSIBILITY OF BRIEF TORNADOES. MOVE INDOORS AT THE FIRST SIGN OF A THUNDERSTORM. IF YOU CAN HEAR THUNDER...THEN LIGHTNING IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO STRIKE YOU. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... HEAT INDICES OF 100 TO 105 DEGREES ARE OCCURRING ACROSS THE MAINLAND OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS IF WORKING OUTDOORS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... STORMS WILL AFFECT INLAND LAKES DURING THIS AFTERNOON...AND POTENTIALLY THE INTRACOASTAL AND IMMEDIATE NEAR SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS UNTIL AFTER SUNSET. BOATERS SHOULD REMAIN ALERT TO THE POTENTIAL FOR STORMS APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH AND WEST AT AROUND 15 KNOTS. MOVE TO SAFE HARBOR IN ADVANCE OF ANY LIGHTNING STORMS. .WATERSPOUT IMPACT... BRIEF SPIN UPS OF FUNNEL CLOUDS INCLUDING DAMAGING WATERSPOUTS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ANY LIGHTNING STORMS. THIS WILL BE MOST PREVALENT AT THE ATLANTIC COAST AND THE BARRIER ISLANDS DUE TO THE INTERACTIONS OF THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT WITH DEVELOPING AND ONGOING STORMS JUST INLAND. .FIRE WEATHER IMPACT... THE COMBINATION OF DRY FUEL CONDITIONS COUPLED WITH AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES IN THE 40S AND THE THREAT FOR AFTERNOON LIGHTNING STORMS WILL RESULT IN A MODERATE FIRE WEATHER DANGER TODAY. SEVERAL LIGHTNING-INITIATED FIRES HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS ...AND MORE IGNITIONS FROM LIGHTNING CAN BE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING LIGHTNING STORMS FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH COVERAGE INCREASING THIS WEEKEND. THE FIRE DANGER WILL REMAIN ELEVATED UNTIL THE PATTERN OF HIGHER COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON RAINFALL ESTABLISHES ITSELF IN EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
