The episode as NWS MLB wrote it up.
Numerous severe thunderstorms developed across east-central Florida along the east coast sea breeze, and along the main sea breeze collision. Many storms became severe over Seminole and Volusia Counties where hail and wind damage occurred. Then, as storms moved offshore they produced severe wind gusts along the coast in Brevard, Indian River, and Martin Counties. One storm produced an EF-0 tornado in Saint Lucie County west of Fort Pierce.

NWS Melbourne, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 6, 8:31 AM EST, 4 hours 59 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 931 AM EDT Mon Jun 6 2022 .UPDATE... A few minor tweaks to the forecast this morning, otherwise everything remains on track for an active afternoon. The sea breeze collision is expected to center over the interior today, with activity drifting towards the coast into the evening hours. Upper level support, cool temperatures aloft (-8 to -10C at 500mb), and bulk shear up to around 40kts could lead to a few strong to marginally severe storms, especially west of I-95. Main hazards with any storms this afternoon look to be wind gusts up to 50-60mph, hail up to quarter size, and lightning strikes. Locally heavy rainfall will also be possible, which could generate minor flooding concerns in areas that experience training storms or have received heavy rainfall over the last few days. Showers and storms should begin to develop by early afternoon (by 2pm), with chances diminishing from west to east this evening, clearing the coast by midnight. The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded today's Convective Outlook over east central Florida to a "Marginal" threat for severe weather. It will be hot again this afternoon, especially across the interior. High temperatures are forecast in the lower 90s west of I-95, with upper 80s along the coast. If spending time outside, be sure to drink plenty of water and take breaks in an air conditioned room, as needed. && .AVIATION... A band of low end MVFR/brief IFR CIGs has developed around KMCO/KISM, causing some reductions as of around 13Z. This feature is expected to erode as daytime heating ramps up, with VFR conditions prevailing outside of convection, otherwise. Storms this afternoon are likely to affect most terminals, before clearing the coast by around 3Z. A few strong to marginally severe storms will be capable of wind gusts 40 to 50kts and hail. Will monitor for updates to the current TEMPO groups, but CIG/VIS reductions in heavier showers and storms are likely. Once activity pushes offshore this evening, dry, VFR conditions are expected through the remainder of the period. && .MARINE... Mariners over the Atlantic waters and inland lakes should monitor the progress of storms this afternoon, which will drift offshore through the evening hours. Storms producing wind gusts up to 40 to 50kts will be possible. Otherwise, light winds this morning becoming E/SE around 10-12kts this afternoon and evening as the sea breeze develops. Then, veering offshore around 10kts or less overnight. Seas 3-4ft, with a 5ft swell building into the Gulf Stream. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Scattered lightning storms will develop this afternoon along collisions between the sea breeze, as well as outflow from previous storms. Wind gusts up to 50 to 60mph, quarter size hail, frequent lightning strikes, and locally heavy rainfall will be possible. Storms are expected to begin across the interior, drifting towards the coast into the evening hours. The greatest chance for strong to severe storms will be across Lake, Orange, Osceola, and Okeechobee counties this afternoon and evening. .FLOOD IMPACT... Periods of locally heavy rain will have the potential to produce minor flooding of streets and poor drainage areas, especially across locations which recently received persistent heavy rainfall or experience training storms. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... There is a Moderate Risk of rip currents at area beaches. Persons should swim at a guarded beach and never enter the water alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Scattered storms are forecast this afternoon and early evening. Any storms which develop will be capable of producing gusts in excess of 35 knots or greater over the larger inland lakes and the east central Florida Atlantic waters. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. A Moderate risk of rip currents will continue at all east central Florida beaches the next several days. Scattered daily afternoon thunderstorms are in the forecast for the upcoming week, the strongest of which will remain capable of gusty winds, lightning strikes, and locally heavy rainfall. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. Leahy/Fehling
