The episode as NWS MFL wrote it up.

NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 10, 2:16 PM EST, 38 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL 316 PM EDT WED JUN 10 2015 .DISCUSSION... ONGOING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO PUSH TO THE NORTHEAST AT A MORE RAPID PACE THAN SEEN YESTERDAY THANKS TO SLIGHTLY STRONGER NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. THIS SHOULD REDUCE THE OVERALL FLOOD THREAT. HOWEVER...BRIEF LOCALIZED URBAN FLOODING WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE AS HEAVIER THUNDERSTORMS TRACK ACROSS URBAN AREAS. STILL BELIEVE THE COVERAGE AND OVERALL INTENSITY OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THAT OF YESTERDAY WITH FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING BEING THE MAIN THREAT. HOWEVER...DUE TO THE QUICKER STORM MOTION...OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTERACTION MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO CONVECTIVE ENHANCEMENT AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUBSEQUENT CONVECTION...THUS POSSIBLY REDUCING OVERALL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS COULD LINGER INTO THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE GULF WATERS WITH CLOSER PROXIMITY TO MID LEVEL TROUGHING. MODELS ARE STILL IN AGREEMENT USHERING IN AN EASTERLY FLOW REGIME BEGINNING THURSDAY AND PERSISTING THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL BUILD BACK ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD BECOMING THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE. THE STRONGER RIDGING WILL ALSO ALLOW OVERALL COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION TO DECREASE AND BE RELEGATED MAINLY TO THE INTERIOR AND GULF COASTAL AREAS DUE TO THE MORE EASTERLY FLOW PATTERN. SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN LOOKS TO REMAIN FAIRLY CONSISTENT LOOKING LONG RANGE WITH EASTERLY FLOW PERPETUATING ALONG WITH STRONG RIDGING BEING PREDOMINANT. THIS WILL RESULT IN A FAIRLY DRY PATTERN FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. && .AVIATION... SCT/NUM TSRA ONGOING IN SOFLA THIS AFTERNOON...AND COVERAGE WILL INCREASE FUTURE BY LATE AFTERNOON. TEMPO MVFR CONDITIONS IN PLACE AT ALL TERMINALS THROUGH 22Z. MOST AREAS WILL BE DRY BY MIDNIGHT...WITH THU TSRA HOLDING OFF UNTIL AFTERNOON. AWAY FROM CONVECTION...SE WINDS 5-10 KT EXPECTED. && .MARINE... HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA BEGINNING ON THURSDAY USHERING IN AN EASTERLY FLOW REGIME.

10The Miami radar (KAMX), 133 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 19:54 UTC.
3 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado. Local standard time, as filed.
A trained spotter reported trees down onto power lines. Time was estimated by radar.
Trees were reported down in Tequesta.
Report relayed via Broadcast Media of trees uprooted along El Portal Drive and Golfview Drive in the Tequesta Country Club. This was from the same storm that eventually produced the tornado/waterspout along US 1 and the Indian River along the county line.
Video obtained from West Palm Beach broadcast media showed a likely tornadic circulation at the County Line Plaza in Tequesta. Damage appeared to be limited to uprooted trees in the parking lot and roofing material. The roof at the shopping center was undergoing repair at the time of the tornado, therefore much of the roofing material was already detached from the structure. Water entered a business in the plaza from one of the sections where the roof was being repaired. This tornado eventually moved into the Intracoastal waterway.
