An isolated thunderstorm produced small hail in south Orlando and locally damaging winds in Celebration.
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 1, 2:55 PM EST, 3 hours 37 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 355 PM EDT WED JUN 1 2016 .DISCUSSION... Tonight/Thu...Scattered convection over the interior should end around sunset. The low level ridge axis will nudge a little northward overnight and allow a little stronger E/SE flow along the Treasure coast. This may generate a few showers near the coast early in the morning. Focus for storms on Thu will be across the south where 30 percent PoPs are drawn which should spread inland during the afternoon. Highs will again reach the low to mid 90s interior and upper 80s coast. Fri-Sat (previous)...Atlantic ridge axis will remain near to just north of the area. This will keep a relatively light E/SE flow over the region with the sea breeze developing and moving inland each afternoon. Overall moisture remains sufficient for isolated to scattered shower/storm development along this boundary mainly in the afternoon. Greatest coverage looks to remain over the interior (south and west of Orlando) where moisture will be greater and where late day sea breeze collision is most likely. Steering flow will remain weak through this time frame so any storms that do develop will have the potential to produce locally heavy rainfall. Temperatures will be near normal along the coast to above normal inland with highs ranging from the upper 80s coastal locations to low/mid 90s over the interior. Overnight lows will be in the low to mid 70s. Sun-Wed (modified)...Trough aloft building into the eastern U.S. will drive a front into the southeast states, pushing Atlantic ridge axis south of the region. This will produce a more predominant SW/WSW flow that should transport deeper moisture into the region. Models also continue to show an area of low pressure building northeast from the Yucatan peninsula, across the southern and eastern Gulf of Mexico and Florida peninsula into early next week. However run-to-run model differences in timing, location and strength of the system lends to low forecast confidence in this feature for the time being. The 12Z GFS shows a strongly sheared system moving across the Florida peninsula Tue-Wed while the 12Z ECMWF shows a more organized low pressure moving across central FL Wed. Regardless, The pattern shows a pretty significant increase in precipitable water values and increased rain chances early next week. && .AVIATION... Mainly VFR. Sct TSRA with MVFR cigs/vsbys may affect interior terminals through 00Z. A few Atlc showers may approach FPR/SUA aft 08Z with convective initiation just inland from VRB/FPR/SUA aft 14Z. && .MARINE... Tonight/Thu...Low level ridge axis draped across central Florida will produce good boating conditions with seas 2-3 ft mainly due to swell. There will be an increase in SE-S flow this evening 10-13 knots which will weaken towards sunrise. Then the daily sea breeze circulation will redevelop by mid day Thu with east winds 10 knots near the coast. A few showers/storms may affect the southern waters late tonight/early Thu then transition onto land by afternoon. Fri-Sun...Atlantic ridge axis will remain near to just north of the area through Saturday and then push southward into Sunday as front moves into the southeast United States. Winds will generally be out of the E/SE during the day and S/SE overnight through late week into early weekend and then become remain more southerly Sunday. Wind speeds are expected to remain below 15 knots with seas ranging from 2-4 feet. Steering flow will remain weak with much of afternoon convection remaining over land, but an increasing southwest flow aloft will bring a greater potential for offshore moving storms into Sunday afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
