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 26, 1:39 PM EST, 1 hour 46 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL 239 PM EDT FRI JUN 26 2015 .DISCUSSION... CURRENT-TONIGHT...RATHER WARM ALOFT THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE 15Z KXMR SOUNDING SHOWING ONLY -6.7C AT 500 MB THUS LIMITING DESTABILIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN AROUND 1.93 INCHES. THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS REMAINS ACROSS THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PENINSULA. ESE FLOW HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE COAST WHERE THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE HAS FORMED WITH LIGHT S/SW AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY ACROSS THE INTERIOR. DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE L/M 70S. WHILE THE WARMER AIR ALOFT HAS KEPT COVERAGE DOWN THUS FAR OVER THE EASTERN PENINSULA...EVENTUAL SEA BREEZE/MESOSCALE BOUNDARY COLLISIONS THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WILL ALLOW FOR CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS/STORMS WITH MOVEMENT TOWARDS THE EAST AT 10 TO 15 MPH. THIS MOVEMENT WILL FAVOR SHOWERS AND STORMS TO STACK UP ACROSS THE EASTERN PENINSULA. LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...GUSTY WINDS OF 45 TO 55 MPH AND SMALL HAIL WILL ALL BE IN PLAY AS MAIN THREATS FROM STORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. CONVECTION WILL DISSIPATE MID-LATE EVENING WITH CLOUD DEBRIS THINNING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOWS MAINLY IN THE L/M 70S WITH LIGHT SSW WINDS. SAT-MON...THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS WILL GET SHUNTED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PENINSULA DURING THIS TIME WHILE MID-LEVEL TROUGHING WILL ENCOMPASS THE EASTERN CONUS. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE PREDOMINANTLY SOUTHWESTERLY THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY DEVELOP FROM THE SPACE COAST SOUTHWARD ON SAT BUT MAY BE HARD PRESSED TO DO SO ON SUN WITH A STRONGER SOUTHWEST LOW-LEVEL FLOW. EVEN SO...DEVELOPMENT AND MOVEMENT INLAND ON SAT WILL BE SLOW. THE OFFSHORE FLOW SEEMS LIGHTER AGAIN ON MON BUT THIS FEATURE MAY ONLY DEVELOP FROM THE CAPE SOUTHWARD WITH LITTLE MOVEMENT INLAND. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN FAIRLY HIGH UP AROUND 2 INCHES THOUGH MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES ARE SOMEWHAT WARM AT 500 MB (-6C/-7C). WHILE THESE WARMER TEMPERATURES ALOFT MAY RESULT IN DECREASED POPS ACROSS THE AREA BELIEVE THE GFS MAY BE TOO LOW OVER THE PERIOD FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES. A MID-LEVEL IMPULSE WILL DROP SOUTHWARD OVER THE PENINSULA ON MON WHICH WOULD BRING SOME COOLER AIR ALOFT AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL DESTABILIZATION TO THE AREA. CONTINUE SCATTERED WORDING FOR PRECIPITATION DURING THE PERIOD BUT FUTURE SHIFTS MAY OPT TO BUMP POPS UP TO LIKELY ON MON. HIGHS IN THE MID 90S INTERIOR AND LOW 90S AT THE COAST. ...PREVIOUS EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION... TUE-THU...THE BASE OF THE 500MB TROUGH SHIFTS INTO THE ATLANTIC WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS ALLOWS THE 500MB RIDGE THAT WAS DISPLACED TO THE SOUTH TO LIFT NORTH AND REPLACE THE TROUGHING THAT WAS OVER FLORIDA THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE SURFACE RIDGE SLOWLY WORKS ITS WAY NORTHWARD TO THE SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA THURSDAY. MOISTURE LEVELS REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH TO KEEP A CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS EACH DAY. HIGHS IN THE LOW 90S. && .AVIATION...ESE/SE WINDS ALONG THE COAST AND S/SW OVER THE INTERIOR. WARMER TEMPERATURES ALOFT MAY LIMIT DESTABILIZATION AND THUS WE MAY SEE LOWER COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...SEA BREEZE/MESOSCALE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS WILL STILL PERMIT SCATTERED CONVECTION INTO THIS EVENING ACROSS THE EASTERN PENINSULA. LIGHTNING...HEAVY RAIN..SMALL HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS REMAIN IN PLAY. && .MARINE...CURRENT-TONIGHT...SURFACE RIDGE AXIS OVER THE SOUTH- CENTRAL PENINSULA. ESE WINDS NEAR THE COAST AND SE/S WINDS ACROSS THE NEAR SHORE/OFFSHORE WATERS WILL VEER TO SOUTHWEST THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. WIND SPEEDS MAINLY BELOW 10 KTS THIS AFTERNOON WITH A BIT OF A WIND SURGE UP TOWARDS 15 KTS FOR A WHILE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT OFFSHORE AND NORTH OF THE CAPE. SEAS 1-2 FT NEAR SHORE AND UP TO 3 FEET OFFSHORE. SOME 4 FT SEAS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT OFFSHORE VOLUSIA COUNTY. STORM STEERING FLOW THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING WILL TAKE SHOWERS/STORMS OFF OF THE EAST COAST AND ACROSS THE INTRACOASTAL/NEAR SHORE ATLC WATERS. FREQUENT LIGHTNING...HEAVY DOWNPOURS...WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 KTS AND PERHAPS SOME SMALL HAIL WILL BE IN PLAY. WINDS/SEAS LOCALLY HIGHER INVOF CONVECTION. SAT-SUN...SURFACE RIDGE AXIS GETS PUSHED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES INTO THE DEEP SOUTH. SOUTHWEST FLOW DOMINATES WITH ONLY A SEA BREEZE ALONG THE SPACE/TREASURE COASTS SAT...BUT LIKELY NOT AT ALL FOR SUN AS THE OFFSHORE FLOW REMAINS TOO STOUT. WIND SPEEDS OVER THE OPEN ATLC LATE SAT AFTN/SAT NIGHT WILL PICK UP TO AROUND 15 KTS. SEAS 2-3 FT NEAR SHORE AND 2-4 FT OFFSHORE. OFFSHORE MOVING AFTN/EVENING SHRA/TSRA CONTINUE THIS WEEKEND. MON-TUE...SOUTHWEST WINDS TO 15 KNOTS NORTHERN WATERS BOTH DAYS. FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE COASTAL WATERS...SOUTHWEST WINDS MONDAY SHIFT TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY BUILDS NORTHWARD. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL INITIALLY FORM ALONG THE COAST WITH THE FORMATION OF THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE AND ALSO PUSH EASTWARD INTO LAKE AND VOLUSIA COUNTIES EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. STORM COVERAGE WILL THEN CONTINUE TO INCREASE...BECOMING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS AS BOUNDARIES COLLIDE ACROSS THE INTERIOR...ALONG TO EAST OF THE I-4 CORRIDOR AND EXTENDING SOUTH TO LAKE OKEECHOBEE LATE IN AFTERNOON. SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL BECOME STRONG WITH WINDS GUSTS NEAR 50 MPH...SMALL HAIL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. STORM MOTION WILL BE TOWARD THE EAST AT 10 MPH WHICH WILL PUSH A FEW STORMS BACK TOWARD THE COAST AND OFFSHORE THROUGH EARLY EVENING. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL MAY PRODUCE TEMPORARY PONDING OF WATER ON ROADS AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... ISOLATED STORMS WILL DEVELOP JUST INLAND FROM THE TREASURE COAST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE FORMS AND DRIFTS INLAND. A HIGHER COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF STORMS IS EXPECTED BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS INCOMING STORMS FROM THE WEST INTERACT WITH LARGER LAKE BOUNDARIES AND THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE FROM LAKE AND VOLUSIA COUNTIES SOUTHWARD TO LAKE OKEECHOBEE. STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS 40 TO 50 MPH AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS. BOATERS ON INLAND LAKES AND INTRACOASTAL WATERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT GUSTY THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOW CAN PROPAGATE MANY MILES AWAY FROM THE PARENT STORM. STORM MOTION WILL BE TOWARD THE EAST AROUND 10 MPH WHICH WILL PUSH SOME OF THE STORMS ACROSS THE COAST ONTO THE ATLANTIC. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. SCATTERED STORMS WILL CONTINUE EACH AFTERNOON. STEERING WINDS WILL FOCUS THE HIGHER STORM CHANCES ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE OFFSHORE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOONS AND EARLY EVENINGS. THE PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND GUSTY DOWNBURST WINDS. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE IF NEEDED.

A 25-year-old male was struck and killed by lightning while working on the roof of a home in the Water's Edge subdivision of Port Orange.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
