14What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Aug 28, 12:11 AM EDT, 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 28, 12:11 AM EDT, 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 1211 AM EDT THU AUG 28 2008 .SYNOPSIS... ABUNDANT MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF FAY WILL PERSIST INTO THIS EVENING...BRINGING AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN. WITH A MOIST AIR MASS STILL IN PLACE...THERE REMAINS A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/... AS OF 1205 AM... FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING CONTINUES IN THE TRIANGLE VICINITY AND POINTS NORTH. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... EXPECTING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE EARLY THIS EVENING IN UNSTABLE AIR...WITH SURFACE FRONT OVER SOUTHERN AREAS FROM JUST SOUTH OF LEXINGTON TO THE FAYETTEVILLE AREA. LATE IN THE AFTERNOON...WITH SPC MESOSCALE INFORMATION SHOWING SHEAR AND HELICITY DIMINISHING...AND LIFTED CONDENSATION LEVELS INCREASING...OPTED TO ALLOW TORNADO WATCH TO ESSENTIALLY EXPIRE. STILL MAY BE A COUPLE OF SEVERE CELLS...BUT INTRAOFFICE COORDINATION WOULD SUGGEST TORNADO THREAT WAS WANING. ALL OF THIS WAS ONGOING AHEAD OF A MODERATE SHORTWAVE VISIBLE ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY MOVING EAST ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY INTO THE WESTERN CAROLINAS. WILL ALSO CONTINUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE EVENING UNDER NUMEROUS SHOWERS...AND THOUGH COVERAGE HAS BEEN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS DURING THE AFTERNOON...WITH THIS TYPE OF COVERAGE CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING AND ANTICIPATING GOOD RAINFALL RATES TO REMAIN...AREAS THAT HAVE RECEIVED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF RAIN OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS WILL HAVE A HARD TIME TAKING ANY MORE. OVERNIGHT...DRY SLOT STARTS TO MOVE OVER CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA AND LIFT SLOWLY DIMINISHES. 20KT 850MB WINDS FORECAST OVERNIGHT SHIFT SLOWLY EAST...AND UPPER DIFFLUENCE WEAKENS SOME AS WELL. AFTER MIDNIGHT...NUMEROUS SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED MORE TOWARD NORTHEAST ZONES IN THE STRONGER LOW-LEVEL FLOW LIFTING OVER THE FRONT...WITH MORE PATCHY SHOWERS INTO THE WESTERN PIEDMONT WHERE DRYING ALOFT TAKES SHAPE. COULD ACTUALLY BE A PERIOD LATE TONIGHT WHERE CHARACTER OF PRECIPITATION IS MORE DRIZZLE THAN RAIN ESPECIALLY WEST. WHERE CLOUDS HAVE ERODED ANTICIPATE LOW CLOUDS TO RETURN AS BOTH THE GFS AND NAM SUPPORT SURFACE FRONT REMAINING STATIONARY OR BEING SUPPRESSED SLIGHTLY SOUTH IN WEDGE. GIVEN HIGH BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE...AREAS OF FOG ARE LIKELY OVERNIGHT. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 255 PM WEDNESDAY... FOLLOWED THE GFS MORE DUE TO ITS APPARENT BETTER TRACK RECORD OF LATE WITH THE TRACK OF SURFACE FEATURES VERSUS THE NAM. THE RESULT FOR THURSDAY IS STILL MODEST LIFT OVER MOST OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA AND ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO RESULT IN AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. THE BEST THREAT OF DEEPER CONVECTION WILL BE IN EASTERN ZONES CLOSER TO THE SURFACE BOUNDARY AND WHERE THE CONSENSUS OF THE GFS AND NAM PROVIDE FOR THE HIGHEST INSTABILITY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. IN FACT...UNDER THE STRONGER WEDGE OF THE GFS...THE TRIAD IS BASICALLY UNDER LOW CLOUDS FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...WHEREAS IN THE SOUTHEAST LIFTED INDICES FALL TO AROUND -2C WITH SURFACE-BASED CAPE TO 1000J/KG OR SO UNDER A DEVELOPING SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW. BEST QPF SHOULD BE IN EASTERN ZONES WHERE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN CLOSER TO 2 INCHES...LESS TOWARD THE FAR WEST WHERE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES FALL TO NEAR 1.5 INCHES DURING THE DAY DUE TO MID-LEVEL DRYING. AS LOW-LEVEL WIND FIELDS GET LIGHTER...0-3KM HELICITY IS MUCH LESS THAN TODAY ON THE GFS FORECAST. HIGHS MAY STRUGGLE TO REACH THE UPPER 70S TOWARD THE TRIAD...BUT SHOULD EASILY HIT THE MID TO UPPER 80S FAR SOUTH. MOISTURE REMAINS OVER CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA INTO THE WEEKEND... WITH PRIMARILY A DIURNAL THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS ARE DECENTLY UNSTABLE BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AFTERNOONS...AND GENERALLY SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SEEM A REASONABLE FORECAST WITH A LINGERING SURFACE TROUGH REMAINING OVER CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA IN THE MOIST AIR. HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO MOVE INTO THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE STATE LATE SATURDAY. LARGE DISCREPANCIES IN MOS TEMPERATURE FORECASTS AND LEANED MORE TOWARD THE GFS THOUGH NOT QUITE AS HIGH DURING THE PERIOD AS THINK...EVEN WITH A LITTLE SUN...THE COOL TEMPERATURES OF THE FWC AND MET ARE TOO COOL. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 255 PM WEDNESDAY... OUTSIDE OF SUNDAY...WHEN THERE STILL MAY BE LINGERING SURFACE CONVERGENCE AND MOISTURE PARTICULARLY IN SOUTHERN ZONES...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO MAINLY QUIET WEATHER. THE LATEST GFS IS RAIN FREE IN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA FROM JUST AFTER 00Z MONDAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. TEMPERATURE FORECAST WILL BE AT OR WITHIN A CATEGORY OF THE NORMAL RANGE. && .AVIATION /04Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 730 PM WEDNESDAY... VERY COMPLICATED FORECAST THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. AS OF 23Z WED...A WARM FRONT (ASSOC/W FAYS REMNANT LOW OVER EASTERN TN) WAS DRAPED ACROSS CENTRAL NC...ROUGHLY FROM LEXINGTON (EXX)...TO SANFORD (TTA)...TO GOLDSBORO (GSB). CEILINGS AND VISBYS SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT (KFAY) ARE VFR OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY...WHILE NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT (KGSO KINT KRWI) MVFR TO LIFR CONDS ARE PRESENT REGARDLESS OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. WHERE YOU ARE IN RELATION TO THIS WARM FRONT WILL LARGELY DETERMINE THE CONDITIONS YOU SEE THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE TAF PERIOD (UNTIL 00Z FRI). LOCATIONS ALONG/NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT WILL LIKELY SEE MVFR TO LIFR CONDS PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD...WHILE LOCATIONS SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO SEE VFR/MVFR CONDS...WITH WORSE CONDS IN ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. BASED ON THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWING THE WARM FRONT MEANDERING ACROSS CENTRAL NC THROUGH THURSDAY...FEEL THAT KGSO/KINT/KRDU/KRWI HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF REMAINING NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT AND SEEING MVFR TO LIFR CONDS...WITH KFAY MORE LIKELY TO SEE VFR/MVFR CONDS SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT. THEREFORE...THE TAFS WILL FOLLOW ACCORDING TO THIS LINE OF THINKING. ADDITIONALLY...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD. LOOKING AHEAD...AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ARE ANTICIPATED LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING...AND ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN AT LEAST IN ISOLATED AREAS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE THE THREAT SHIFTS MORE TO THE SOUTH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE THEN MOVES INTO THE AREA SUNDAY...AND OUTSIDE OF SOME PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE IN THE SOUTH EARLY MONDAY MORNING...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. -VINCENT && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
