The episode as NWS MFL wrote it up.
Easterly winds across the region with daily afternoon thunderstorms developing along outflow and sea breeze collisions. Storms concentrated over the interior before moving towards the west coast in the late afternoon and evening. One of the stronger storms produced hail in Collier County.

NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 25, 3:12 PM EST, 1 hour 48 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Miami FL 412 PM EDT Tue Jun 25 2019 .DISCUSSION... REST OF TODAY: Deep layer ridging that is currently centered over the Gulf of Mexico and extending across our area has resulted in mostly light, westerly winds. Early this afternoon, the Atlantic sea breeze was once again slow to develop, keeping daytime temperatures uncomfortably warm across South Florida. Isolated pulse showers and thunderstorms have begun initiating along the sea breeze given the favorably unstable atmosphere. As the rest of the afternoon continues, meso models indicate coverage increasing over the interior and then across the west coast as convection battles for development along subsequent outflow boundaries and the propagating sea breeze boundary. Mesoscale dynamics support the development of a few stronger storms capable of producing frequent lightning, gusty downbursts, and small hail. Meanwhile, a wildfire continues to burn acres of Everglades along inland Broward County. Areas of smoke can be subtly denoted on visible satellite imagery, and with ongoing convection, this will need to be monitored due to winds changes associated with outflow from nearby convection. Although, at this time, the Florida Highway Patrol has not reported any major obstructions to visibility on area highways. SHORT TERM (Wednesday-Thursday): The fairly stacked ridge will continue to gradually breakdown and retrograde further into the Gulf through the latter portion of this week. As a result, winds will veer back out of the east. Sufficient heating coupled with ample available moisture will result in increased coverage of diurnally driven convection with a few storms becoming strong enough to produce another round of gusty winds, small hail, and frequent lightening. Daytime temperatures also look to remain elevated through the remainder of the week and thus, heat advisories may be needed for Collier, Mainland Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties. Confidence is too low at this time and will continue to monitored with each update. Regardless, if your plans include the outdoors, make sure to take breaks and drink plenty of water. EXTENDED (Friday-Tuesday): Into the weekend, global models depict a wave propagating across the Atlantic, bringing with it deep tropical moisture into the region. This will allow for rain chances to increase, becoming more scattered to numerous across South Florida. However, with the increased rain aerially, comes increased cloud cover, which will help moderate temperature down along with heat indices through mid next week. && .MARINE... Generally benign conditions will continue with predominately easterly winds at 5-10 knots and waves below 3 feet across the local waters. The increased chance for showers and isolated thunderstorms returns mid-late week. && .AVIATION... Generally VFR outside of afternoon/evening showers & storms. Sea breezes are expected to push inland today, helping to spur convection. Terminals could see bouts of sub-VFR conditions around convection. Higher storm chances are over southern portions of the area today. Convection should trend down after sunset with light wind flow returning overnight though a few storms could push towards APF this evening. A wildfire inland of FLL/FXE will need to be monitored in case the smoke blows back towards a terminal overnight into the morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
