The radar
The Norfolk radar (KAKQ), 105 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:55 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The watch it was issued in
The SPC watch in force over the same counties when this warning went out.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 21, 3:15 PM EDT, 4 hours 42 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
315 PM EDT TUE AUG 21 2007
.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF
TROPICAL CYCLONE ERIN WILL CROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA THIS
EVENING AND EARLY TONIGHT...BRINGING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
SFC ANALYSIS THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS A THERMAL BOUNDARY ASSOC/W
DIFFERENTIAL HEATING FROM PERVASIVE LOW STRATUS THIS MORNING ACROSS
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN VA. TEMPS SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY WERE IN THE UPPER
90S...WHILE TEMPS NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY IN CENTRAL VA WERE IN THE
UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. THE TRUE WEDGE FRONT SEEMS TO HAVE RETREATED
NORTH AND IS NOW LOCATED IN NORTHERN VA. A SFC TROUGH AXIS WAS
LOCATED ACROSS THE PORTIONS OF NC/VA. DEWPOINTS ACROSS NORTH
CAROLINA WERE IN THE LOWER 60S (WEST) TO UPPER 60S (EAST). ALOFT...A
SHORTWAVE/VORTMAX ASSOC/W THE REMNANTS OF TS ERIN WAS LOCATED OVER
EASTERN KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE SHOWS UP ON RAOB
ANALYSIS...RUC H5 HEIGHT/VORT FIELDS...AND IN WV IMAGERY WHICH CAN
BE USED TO CLEARLY TRACE THIS FEATURE BACK OVER OK/MO AS ERINS
REMNANTS.
FOR THIS AFTERNOON...A FEW THINGS HAVE CHANGED COMPARED TO
YESTERDAY. THE MOST NOTICEABLE CHANGE IS THAT WE WILL HAVE SOME GOOD
UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF A SHORTWAVE ASSOC/W THE REMNANTS
OF TS ERIN CROSSING INTO THE AREA LATER THIS EVENING. THIS UPPER
LEVEL FEATURE IS CURRENTLY FORCING SHOWERS/STORMS OVER EASTERN KY
AND THE NC/VA MOUNTAINS...AND THE LATEST RUC MODEL RUN SHOWS THE
SHORTWAVE AND ASSOC 20-25/S VORT ADVECTING INTO W/SW VIRGINIA AND
NORTHWEST NC BY 00Z THIS EVENING...AND THROUGH THE AREA BY 06Z.
GFS/NAM BUFR AND RUC40 FCST SOUNDINGS ALL SHOW AN AIRMASS THAT IS
MORE UNSTABLE THAN YESTERDAY...WITH AFTERNOON PWAT VALUES IN THE
1.50-2.00 RANGE. IN FACT...THE 12Z GSO SOUNDING THIS MORNING HAD A
33F DEWPOINT AT 700MB...IN CONTRAST TO A 14F DEWPOINT AT 700MB 12Z
YESTERDAY. ALTHOUGH SFC DEWPOINTS HAVE CRASHED AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THE LOWER 60S...SOME PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN WILL LIKELY
SEE DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70F. EVEN WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S...ALL THE FCST MODELS MENTIONED SHOW
AFTERNOON SFC BASED CAPE VALUES AROUND 1500 J/KG WITH STEEP DRY
ADIABATIC LAPSE RATES UP TO 750-700 MB. OBVIOUSLY IF DEWPOINTS ARE
HIGHER...THIS VALUE GOES UP AND IF DEWPOINTS ARE LOWER...THIS VALUE
GOES DOWN.
BEST CHANCE FOR CONVECTION THIS EVENING WILL BE IN NORTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE CWA AFTER 20Z...CLOSER TO THE TRACK OF THE UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE/VORT WHICH WILL CROSS THROUGH CENTRAL NC AFTER 00Z THIS
EVENING. CONVECTION CURRENTLY FIRING ALONG THE FOOTHILLS AND
MOUNTAINS WILL ADVECT EASTWARD TOWARD THE VA/NC PIEDMONT VIA 30KT
MID-LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW. HAVE UPPED POPS TO LIKELY IN THE NW
PIEDMONT THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE BETTER CHANCES
OVERALL IN THE NORTH AND LOWER CHANCES IN THE SOUTH...CONTINUING
AFTER SUNSET AS THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE SWINGS THROUGH. WITH STEEP
LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES FROM THE SFC THROUGH 750MB...INVERTED-V
SOUNDING PROFILES...AND 30KT MID LEVEL FLOW...DAMAGING WINDS APPEAR
TO BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT WITH ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS
THIS EVENING. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL
900 PM FOR THE NW PIEDMONT...AND AN ADDITIONAL WATCH MAY BE NEEDED
FOR AREAS TO THE EAST LATER THIS AFT/EVE. WILL TAPER POPS OFF FROM
WEST TO EAST BEHIND THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE DURING THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD. LOW TEMPS WILL BE IN THE LOWER/MID 70S. -VINCENT
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
BOTH THE GFS/NAM SHOW SFC RIDGING ASSOC/W HIGH PRESSURE IN NEW
ENGLAND CONTINUING TO EXTEND SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHERN VA. THE NAM
APPEARS MORE AGGRESSIVE IN TRYING TO BRING THE SFC RIDGING AND ASSOC
COLD POOL FURTHER SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN VA DURING THE DAY WED...AND
EVEN INTO NORTHERN NC WED NIGHT AND THU MORNING. THE UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE WILL REMAIN CENTERED OVER THE DEEP SOUTH WED...AND THE HIGHEST
THICKNESSES WILL REMAIN IN SOUTH/SW PORTIONS OF THE CWA.
THEREFORE...THE WARMEST MAX TEMPS ON WED WILL LIKELY BE IN S/SW
PORTIONS OF THE AREA...IN THE UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100F...AND THE
LOWEST WILL BE IN NORTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE CWA...WHERE A BLEND OF
MAV/MET GUIDANCE YIELDS HIGH TEMPS IN THE LOWER 90S. AS FAR AS
PRECIP IS CONCERNED...BOTH THE GFS/NAM DO SHOW AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE
DROPPING THROUGH CENTRAL NC IN NW FLOW ALOFT WED AFTERNOON...AND
FCST SOUNDINGS SHOW HIGH PWAT VALUES (1.75-2.00) AND AROUND 1500
J/KG OF SFC BASED INSTABILITY EVEN IF DEWPOINTS FALL INTO THE LOWER
60S...THEREFORE...WILL ADD A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS TO THE
FORECAST WED AFTERNOON THROUGH WED NIGHT. -VINCENT
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MID LEVEL RIDGING PERSISTS THROUGH THE PERIOD OVER THE SOUTHEAST AND
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE ABOVE NORMAL WITH BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL.
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES OF 90 TO 97 THURSDAY AND 96 TO 101 FORECAST
FRIDAY BEFORE A SLOW COOLING TREND DROPS HIGHS TO NORMAL TUESDAY.
HOWEVER WITH ABOVE MENTIONED RIDGING IN PLACE...CONFIDENCE IN THIS
COOLING TREND IS NOT HIGH.
THE GFS MODEL FORECAST OF A WEAK TROUGH DROPPING DOWN THE BACK SIDE
OF THE MID LEVEL RIDGE INTO NORTH CAROLINA IS SUSPECT AND WILL
IGNORE THIS FEATURE AT THIS TIME.
WITH THE MID LEVEL RIDGE TO OUR WEST...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW INTO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA PERHAPS
INCREASING MOISTURE ENOUGH TO BRING CLIMATOLOGICAL RAIN CHANCES TO
THE AREA LATE IN THE WEEK. HOWEVER WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY THIS
CONSERVATIVE AND RESPECT THE DROUGHT AND BE PESSIMISTIC FOR THE TIME
BEING. -RLH
&&
.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION CROSSED THE MOUNTAINS IN THE EARLY
AFTERNOON. WILL MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THE LINE BUT IT DOES LOOK
LIKE THIS LINE WILL HOLD TOGETHER AND CROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HAVE ADDED CUMULONIMBUS TO
THE WESTERN SITES AND WILL MONITOR THE FORECAST FOR THE EASTERN
SITES AS FAR AS SUNSET AND ITS AFFECT ON CONVECTION.
OTHER THAN IN THE VICINITY OF CONVECTION CEILINGS SHOULD BE VFR.
A WETTING RAIN WILL LIKELY PRODUCE SOME MORNING FOG. HAVE ADDED THIS
THREAT TO THE WEST BUT WILL REEVALUATE THE WEST WITH THE NEXT
REGULAR FORECAST PACKAGE.

AUG 22: 100 IN 1983
AUG 23: 99 IN 1983

THE MODERATE AND SEVERE DROUGHT CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL ARE NOT
NOT EXPECTED TO SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT THROUGH THE 7 DAY
FORECAST AS THERE REMAINS NO APPARENT WEATHER FEATURE TO SUPPORT
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL. AS OF AUGUST 20TH...THE MONTH TO DATE RAINFALL
AT GSO AND RDU IS 0.34 AND 0.26 RESPECTIVELY. THIS WILL RESULT IN
SIGNIFICANT AUGUST RAINFALL DEFICITS LEADING INTO THE LAST WEEK OF
AUGUST AND A STRONG LIKELIHOOD OF BEING ONE OF THE DRIEST AUGUSTS ON
RECORD.
LISTED BELOW IS THE DRIEST AUGUST AT GSO AND RDU ON
RECORD.
TOP 5 DRIEST AUGUSTS ON RECORD.
GSO RDU
(SINCE 1928) (SINCE 1944)
1) 0.71/1972 0.81/1950
2) 1.13/1979 1.01/1997

4) 1.40/1932 1.31/1956
5) 1.44/1983 1.52/1976
HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS HAVE LED TO RECORD WARMTH THIS MONTH
ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. IN FACT... IF WE EXPERIENCE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MONTH RDU WOULD BREAK THE
RECORD FOR THE WARMEST AUGUST ON RECORD... AND GSO WOULD FALL A
TENTH OF A DEGREE SHORT OF THE WARMEST AUGUST ON RECORD. HOWEVER...
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE END OF AUGUST LOOK TO BE AT OR ABOVE
NORMAL. THUS... THE RECORDS LISTED BELOW ARE LIKELY TO FALL.
THE CURRENT MEAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AT RDU AND GSO AS OF AUGUST
20TH IS 84.4F AND 83.6F RESPECTIVELY.
TOP 5 WARMEST AVERAGE TEMPERATURES FOR AUGUST ON RECORD.
