The episode as NWS MFL wrote it up.
A large scale upper level trough of low pressure across the eastern U.S. along with a surface trough over the northwest Bahamas caused scattered showers and thunderstorms across South Florida during the afternoon.
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 Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 29, 6:12 AM EST, 7 hours 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 712 AM EDT SAT JUN 29 2013 .AVIATION... PRECIPITATION HAS GENERALLY ENDED...BUT ISOLATED SHOWERS SHOULD START TO DEVELOP AFTER 14Z OVER SOUTH FLORIDA. SO HAVE PUT IN VCSH FOR THE TAF SITES BETWEEN 14Z AND 16Z. VCTS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING AS SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS TSTMS ARE EXPECTED...GRADUALLY DIMINISHING AFTER SUNSET. WINDS WILL BE MORE SOUTHERLY AFTER DAYBREAK...AT SPEEDS AROUND 10 KTS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OUTSIDE OF SHOWERS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 357 AM EDT SAT JUN 29 2013/ ..WET WEATHER PATTERN BEGINNING WITH POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK... SHORT TERM... AN MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES TODAY INTO SUNDAY...AS A LOW LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE BAHAMA ISLANDS MOVES NORTHWEST AND THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE TO WORK INTO SOUTH FLORIDA LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY. THE STEERING FLOW WILL ALSO BE FROM THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST DIRECTION OVER THE AREA TODAY INTO SUNDAY. THEREFORE...THE POPS WILL RANGE FROM SCATTERED WEST COAST TO NUMEROUS EAST COAST FOR TODAY...THEN NUMEROUS FOR ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA FOR SUNDAY EXCEPT SCATTERED ON GULF COAST WATERS. THE PWAT VALUES WILL ALSO BE ON THE INCREASE TODAY INTO SUNDAY WHICH COULD LEAD TO HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL THIS WEEKEND. MORE ON THIS IN THE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW. THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST STEERING FLOW WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS THE MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY. THE LOW LEVEL TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWEST AWAY FROM SOUTH FLORIDA EARLY NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...ANOTHER TROPICAL WAVE APPROACHING THE LEEWARD ISLANDS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE WEST NORTHWEST THIS WEEKEND AND COULD MOVE INTO SOUTH FLORIDA ON TUESDAY. IF THIS TROPICAL WAVE MOVES THROUGH SOUTH FLORIDA...THEN MORE DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL WORK INTO THE AREA. SO WILL CONTINUE THE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS POPS OVER SOUTH FLORIDA WITH THE BEST COVERAGE OVER THE EAST INTERIOR AND EAST COAST METRO AREAS. LONG TERM... FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY INTO NEXT WEEKEND...HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD BACK INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WATERS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE STEERING FLOW TO SWING FROM A SOUTHWEST DIRECTION TO A EASTERLY DIRECTION...AND ALLOW FOR THE SOME DRIER AIR TO WORK INTO THE AREA. SO THE WEATHER OVER SOUTH FLORIDA SHOULD GET BACK TO MORE OF A SUMMERTIME PATTERN FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY AND NEXT WEEKEND. THE BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE OVER THE WESTERN AREAS EACH DAY WITH ANY TIME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE EAST COAST METRO AREAS. MARINE... THE WINDS WILL BE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST BELOW 15 KNOTS TODAY BEFORE INCREASING TO AT LEAST BREEZY CONDITIONS LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THE WINDS WILL THEN SLOWLY DECREASE EARLY NEXT WEEK TO 15 KNOTS OR LESS WHILE SHOWING SWING BACK TO A EASTERLY DIRECTION. THIS WILL KEEP THE SEAS BELOW 6 FEET IN BOTH THE ATLANTIC AND GULF WATERS...BUT COULD INCREASE TO AROUND 5 FEET IN THE GULF STREAM WATERS ON SUNDAY. SO A SCEC WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR ALL OF THE LOCAL WATERS BY LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. FIRE WEATHER... THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE THE 35 PERCENT CRITICAL VALUE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...DUE TO THE DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE IN PLACE OVER THE AREA. SO NO PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE FIRE WEATHER OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. HYDROLOGY... THE PWAT VALUES WILL INCREASE TODAY INTO SUNDAY AND BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON BE AROUND 2.2 INCHES. THESE PWAT VALUES ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE CLOSE TO THE 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE THE NORMAL PWAT OF 1.8 INCHES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE 00Z GFS AND 00Z MET FORECAST MODELS ALSO KEEP THE 2.0 TO 2.2 PWATS IN PLACE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH TUESDAY. SO WILL ADD HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE TO THE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY OVER SOUTH FLORIDA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
