What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 10, 2:08 PM EDT, 3 hours 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 10, 2:08 PM EDT, 3 hours 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
208 PM EDT FRI AUG 10 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WHICH BROUGHT OPPRESSIVE HEAT TO THE
REGION WILL FINALLY WEAKEN AND RETREAT WEST THIS WEEKEND. THIS
WILL MARK A SHIFT BACK TO COOLER...ALTHOUGH STILL ABOVE
NORMAL...TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER
CENTRAL NC BECOMING STRONGEST ALONG AND EAST OF US1 ESPECIALLY IN
THE COASTAL PLAIN AND SANHIILS. LIS ARE RUNNING -8 TO -9 AND
SHOWERS ARE DEVELOPING RAPIDLY EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS JUST NW OF
THE TRIAD WITH MORE STORMS NORTH OF HALIFAX AND RALEIGH.
CONVECTIVE TEMP TODAY IS AROUND 99 DEGREES AND AS OF 2 PM MANY
LOCATIONS WERE PASSED THAT MARK AND STROMS WERE INCREASING IN
COVERAGE. SBCAPE IS PUSHING 4000 J/KG ESCPACIALLY ALONG NAD EAST
OF US1 AND NORMALIZED CAPE IS .2-.3 WHICH SUPPORTS STRONG UPDRAFT
VELOCITIES INCREASING THE THREAT OF DMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS AND
INTENSE LIGHTNING. THE OVERALL AMOUNT OF THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE
WILL BE MORE THAN YESTERDAY ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL NC WITH MORE
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS FROM THE EASTERN PIEDMONT TO THE
SANDHILLS AND COASTAL PLAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

WITH A LITTLE UPPER SUPPORT AND WARM SURFACE TEMPS THE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL PERSIST INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
ESPECIALLY IN THE COASTAL PLAIN. WILL LEAVE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECASTS THROUGH AT LEAST MIDNIGHT
MAINLY IN THE EAST.

TEMPS WILL FINALLY START TO COOL OFF A LITTLE OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS
IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE HEAT WILL FINALLY COME TO AN END. THIS SAID HIGHS ON SATURDAY
WILL STILL RUN IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S. 1000-850 MB THICKNESSES
ARE FORECAST TO FALL AT LEAST 20 METERS RESULTING IN A GOOD 7-10
DEGREE TEMPERATURE DROP FROM THIS AFTERNOON TO SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
GUIDANCE LOOKS RATHER ON TARGET AND THE NAM IS A LITTLE COOLER
THAN THE GFS. WILL SHAVE OFF A FEW DEGREES FROM THE GFS MOS.
ANOTHER WEAK SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON
AND THE GFS TRIES TO SQUEEZE OUT SOME RAIN IN THE SANDHILLS AND
SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. MAY DECIDE TO INTRODUCE JUST A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE SOUTHEAST, BUT WITH DRYING
ALOFT DO NOT EXPECT MUCH IF ANY SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS MOST OF THE
AREA SATURDAY.

SUNDAY IS EVEN DRIER AND ACCORDING TO THICKNESSES SHOULD EVEN RUN
A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN SATURDAY. WILL AGAIN SHAVE OFF A DEGREE
OR SO FROM THE GFS MOS SUNDAY.

THE GFS TRIES TO BRING ANOTHER DISTURBANCE DOWN IN TO THE AREA IN
THE NW FLOW ON MONDAY AFTERNOON, HOWEVER THE NAM HAS THIS SYSTEM
FURTHER TO OUR NE. EITHER WAY MOISTURE AVAILABILITY LOOKS VERY
LACKING WITH THE 850 MB FLOW ALSO BEING NW. WILL KEEP JUST THE 20
PERCENT CHANCE OF SHOWERS MAINLY EAST OF INTERSTATE 95. HIGHS ON
MONDAY SHOULD START TO WARM JUST A FEW DEGREES HIGHER THAN SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
STILL NO DROUGHT BUSTERS ARE IN SIGHT DURING THE MEDIUM RANGE AND
POSSIBLY ANOTHER ONE OR TWO HOT DAYS COULD OCCUR MID WEEK. MODELS
ARE IN REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT AT THE ONSET SHOWING THE UPPER
RIDGE HAVING RETROGRADED WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI AND HEIGHTS
FALLING WITH A TROUGH ALONG THE EAST COAST MON NIGHT. AT THE
SURFACE THIS STALLS A WEAK TROUGH OVER THE PIEDMONT BUT THE
AIRMASS REMAINS MODERATELY DRY WITH ONLY ISOLATED DIURNAL TSTMS
MAINLY EAST. SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED WITH
LOWS 67-71 AND HIGHS 88-93.

MODELS SHOW THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDING EAST ON WED. THIS WARMS
TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 90S FOR WED AND POSSIBLY THU WITH
SUBSIDENCE WARMING ALOFT TO STIFLE ANY CHANCES FOR LATE DAY TSTMS.
LOW TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY HOLD TO 70-75.

MODELS SUGGEST BROAD TROUGHING OVER THE EASTERN U.S. LATE THU AND
FRI. THIS MAY PUSH A FRONT INTO THE AREA GIVEN THE DEPTH OF THE
TROUGH ALOFT...MOST VIGOROUSLY SUGGESTED BY THE GFS BUT ALSO
SUPPORTED BY ECMWF AND NOGAPS. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY TRIGGER
ADDITIONAL DIURNAL TSTMS BUT LACK OF SIGNIFICANT MOIST INFLOW
SUGGESTS ONLY ISOLATED RAINFALL FROM TSTMS AT THIS POINT.
TEMPERATURE FORECASTS WILL SHOW SOME COOLING FROM 90S ON THU TO
85-90 ON FRI.  -RFG

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SCT TSTMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH GREATEST
NUMBER OF STORMS AND ASSOCIATED HAZARDS IN THE EAST AT KRWI...
KRDU... AND KFAY UNTIL NIGHTFALL.  RESIDUAL SURFACE MOISTURE AND A
CALMING SURFACE LAYER AFTER NIGHTFALL WILL PROMPT AREAS OF FOG IN
THE EAST WITH POTENTIAL FOR MVFR VSBY AT KRDU AND IFR VSBY AT KRWI
AND KFAY AFTER MIDNIGHT UNTIL DAYBREAK.  SKIES CLEAR AND THE AIR
DRIES WITH A STRENGTHENING OF N-NE FLOW FROM HIGH PRESSURE OVER
DELMARVA ON SAT.

THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
RETROGRADES BACK TO THE WEST...AND N/NW FLOW ALOFT RETURNS TO THE
MID-ATLANTIC. VFR CONDS ARE GENERALLY ANTICIPATED THROUGH THIS
PERIOD...WITH A POSSIBILITY OF MORNING FOG AT FAY/RWI TAF SITES.
OTHERWISE...CHANCES FOR DIURNAL TSTMS DURING THIS PERIOD WILL BE LOW
WITH PERHAPS THE GREATEST CHANCE OF ISOLATED STORMS ON MON AFTERNOON.

&&

.CLIMATE...
RDU HAD BROKEN TODAYS RECORD BY 2PM AND GSO WAS TIED.

RDU SET ANOTHER RECORD HIGH YESTERDAY. THE MERCURY CLIMBED TO 104
DEGREES...EASILY BREAKING THE OLD RECORD OF 100 SET BACK IN 2001.
THIS WAS JUST ONE DEGREE SHY OF THE ALL TIME RECORD OF 105. A
RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMP OF 78 WAS ALSO SET. THE OLD RECORD WAS 75
SET BACK IN 2000.

THE GSO HIGH OF 101 DEGREES BROKE THE OLD RECORD OF 99 SET IN
1930. GSO ALSO HAD A RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMP OF 80 DEGREES. THIS
BROKE THE OLD RECORD OF 73 SET IN 1970.

HERE ARE THE RECORD HIGHS FOR TODAY...

RDU... 99 (2001)
GSO... 97 (1977)
