The episode as NWS MFL wrote it up.
A tropical disturbance formed in the western Caribbean Sea and Yucatan Peninsula and gradually moved northward into the SE Gulf of Mexico on June 2 with the potential of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm as it approached Florida. A tropical storm warning was issued for South Florida at 11 PM on Thursday, June 2nd. A Flood Watch was also issued for South Florida from Midnight Thursday night through Sunday morning June 5th for the potential of major flooding rainfall. The disturbance then turned NE towards South Florida on Friday, June 3rd, and moved across the peninsula during the day on Saturday, June 4th. The system did not acquire enough organization to be classified as a tropical depression or tropical storm before moving across Florida. Nevertheless, the disturbance brought major flooding rainfall to SE Florida. The first rain bands associated with the disturbance affected the region Friday morning, gradually increasing in intensity as the day progressed. The heaviest rainfall occurred from around Midnight Friday night through sunrise Saturday morning, prompting several Flash Flood Warnings. Additional heavy rain bands moved through during the midday and early afternoon on Saturday, before diminishing by late Saturday afternoon as the disturbance moved east of Florida.
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 3, 1:23 PM EST, 3 hours 7 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Miami FL
223 PM EDT Fri Jun 3 2022
.SHORT TERM (Now through Saturday)...
Weather conditions continue to deteoriate. Abundant moisture
associated with PTC One continues to move into the region with
satellite derived PWATS near 2.3 inches. Rain bands are moving in
across the peninsula with high rainfall rates The main concern
continues to be the excessive rainfall potential leading to flash
flooding, particularly over urbanized areas. As these rain bands
become more frequent and with additional high rainfall rates and
amounts begin to increase the flooding potential will continue to
increase A flood watch is in effect for all of South Florida. Never
drive through a flooded roadway. Driving tonight as rainfall amounts
continue to increase will become more dangerous as you may not know
where roads end and canals/lakes begin. Remember, turn around don't
drown!
The tornado threat will begin to materialize with increasing low-
level winds, and increasing curved hodographs this afternoon with
the threat continuing into the overnight. Current SRH values are
near 125 m2/s2 and those values will continue to increase as the
system continues to get closer to the region. Have a way to receive
warnings, particularly overnight tonight!
Wind gusts in squalls may reach tropical storm force winds as well
as some areas seeing sustained tropical storm force winds as the
system gets closer and moves across the peninsula.
.LONG TERM (Saturday Night through Friday)...
The low pressure system begins to depart the region Saturday night
moving well off to the northeast. High pressure will begin to build
over the region. This will allow for drier air to filter in, which
will result in lower rainfall chances. However, relatively weak
synoptic flow and enough lingering moisture there will be potential
for sea-breeze convection along the coast. Overall next week will
be mainly typical summer afternoon diurnal convection.
Maximum temperatures will generally be in the upper 80s to lower
90s through the week. Dewpoints in the lower/mid 70s will result in
muggy conditions, while overnight lows will be in the low 70s
to upper 70s along the east coast
&&
.AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...
Conditions continue to deteriorate as PTC approaches the region.
Increasing frequency in rainbands with heavy rainfall. This will
likely result in intermittent IFR/LIFR impacts, primarily due to
very heavy rainfall that will restrict VIS and low cigs. Frequent
short-fused amendments, may be needed. Gusty variable winds will
be possible in the rain bands.
&&
.MARINE...
Hazardous marine conditions, seas of 8-10 feet and tropical storm
force winds and wind gust will spread through the Gulf and then
Atlantic waters. By Sunday afternoon, winds and seas will subside
below headline levels as the low pressure continues northeast. Early
next week through mid-week light winds and generally low seas will
prevail. The most notable exception would be off the Palm Beach
coast where some residual swell down the back side of the low may
keep seas in the 2 to 4 foot range.
&&
.BEACHES...
Beach and surf conditons are becoming more hazardous. The threat for
deadly rip currents and high surf will increase. Breakers are
forecast to reach 4 to 6 feet across the Atlantic coast, and 2 to 4
feet along the Gulf.This could result in minor erosion at area
beaches. Minor coastal flooding will also be possible along the Gulf
coast and Miami-Dade coastline (mainly Biscayne Bay side) as the
area of low pressure crosses the Peninsula and moderate winds turn
onshore. This would most likely be realized around high tide cycles

GRThe Miami radar (KAMX), 72 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 21:26 UTC.
3 flash flood, 1 thunderstorm wind. Local standard time, as filed.
A large tree fell on a mobile home in Pompano Beach, displacing 5 people living in the home. This was associated with a band of gusty showers and thunderstorms, and nearby wind reports indicated speeds were probably in the 40-50 mph range.
Many reports from broadcast media and emergency managers of significant to severe flooding in Miami-Dade County from Key Biscayne through City of Miami, then northward along the I-95 and Biscayne Boulevard corridors to Aventura, and eastward to Miami Beach, North Bay Village, and Sunny Isles Beach.
Notable impacts include: several areas of severe flooding in the Brickell, Downtown Miami, Little Havana, and Shorecrest areas which entered buildings, closing many streets and stranding vehicles; significant flooding in El Portal due to the overflow of the C-7 Canal, significant to severe flooding in Miami Shores, Biscayne Park, and North Miami Beach which required water to be pumped out of streets; significant to severe flooding in Sunny Isles Beach and North Bay Village; and most streets in Key Biscayne flooded including Rickenbacker Causeway which led to multiple stranded vehicles.
Rainfall amounts from Friday morning June 3rd through Saturday evening June 4th of 12-13 inches were observed from Brickell and Downtown Miami northward through Miami Shores, Biscayne Park, North Miami, North Miami Beach, and Aventura. Over most of Miami-Dade County, rainfall amounts were in the 6-10 inch range.
Multiple reports from broadcast media and emergency managers of significant to severe street flooding in eastern Broward County from Hallandale Beach north to Fort Lauderdale and Oakland Park. Main impacts were impassable streets which caused many stranded vehicles, particularly in East Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and Powerline Road in Oakland Park.
As much as 14.85 inches of rain fell in Hollywood from Friday morning June 3rd through Saturday evening June 4th. Most of eastern Broward County observed anywhere from 7-12 inches of rain during that same time period.
WINK-TV reported a home near Naples Manor west of Tamiami Trail with several inches of water inside the entire home. Rainfall in this area totaled 6-8 inches from Friday morning June 3rd through midday Saturday June 4th.
This area has experienced flooding in the past, and the beginning time of the flooding is estimated.
