The episode as NWS TAE wrote it up.
A broad upper level trough was present over the southeastern U.S. A weak surface low was located just offshore of the Florida panhandle. A mesoscale convective vort max was also in the area. SBCAPE values of 1500-2500 j/kg and delta thetae values of 25-35 contributed to several instances of severe storms with trees and power lines down across the area.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 1112 AM EDT Thu Jun 14 2012 .UPDATE... Upper level analysis shows the mean northern stream flow confined to the northern third of the country, with ridging building in across the Southern Plains, and broad troughiness across the southeastern part of the country. Embedded within the weak troughing is a weak upper low centered over Louisiana. At the surface, and closer to home, we reside between a surface ridge to our north which covers much of the eastern U.S., and a high pressure center located in the central GOMEX. In between these two features exists a weak surface low positioned just offshore of our Florida Panhandle waters. This surface feature will do little as far as developing convection inland. It may be responsible for a few showers near the coast during the first part of the day. Primarily, it will provide us with a slightly enhanced southeasterly flow regime, or Seabreeze Regime 6. This would favor the highest PoPs across north Florida along the Gulf Coast Seabreeze Fronts, and eventually a lesser influence from the Atlantic Seabreeze Front. Additionally, a frontal boundary approaching from the northeast will aid in the development of thunderstorms this afternoon across our south Georgia counties. As for the potential for severe thunderstorms, widespread severe weather is not expected. However, there will likely be scattered strong storms capable of producing gusts in the 30 to 40 mph range along with small hail. As always during the summertime, an isolated severe thunderstorm is always a possibility, with the main threat being damaging winds around 60 mph. Temperatures will remain near average both today and tonight, with rain chances tapering off quickly after the midnight hour. && .AVIATION... Prevailing VFR conditions are expected through the TAF. Scattered thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon at all sites, primarily inland. && .MARINE... Morning Obs shows light winds and low seas and this should continue into this aftn. Winds and seas will begin to increase late tonight and Friday as a strong area of high pressure builds across the eastern CONUS. Winds and seas may occasionally reach exercise caution levels this weekend, especially during the late night and early morning hours. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
