The radar

The Raleigh/Durham radar (KRAX), 49 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 14:12 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 flash flood 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 nearest sounding before it

Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 2.2 hours before the alert went out and 117 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 4 PM THIS AFTERNOON/...
AS OF 930 AM EDT SATURDAY...

MAJOR LINGERING CONCERN THROUGH AFTERNOON (AND PROBABLY FOR A FEW
HOURS BEYOND) WILL BE HEAVY RAIN. RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO END RATHER
RAPIDLY FROM THE SOUTHWEST...AND WILL BE CANCELING THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH IN THE FAR WEST AND SOUTHWEST. MEANWHILE...THERE IS
CONSIDERABLE FLOODING IN PROGRESS IN THE EASTERN HALF WITH AN
ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES POSSIBLE THIS MORNING.

AS HANNA CIRCULATION MOVES INTO SOUTHEAST VA TOWARDS MID DAY...

&&

.SHORT TERM /4 PM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 350 AM SATURDAY...

WINDS WILL SUBSIDE AND CLOUDS SLOWLY DEPART THIS EVENING. AIR MASS
DRIES OUT ENOUGH SUNDAY OVER MAJORITY OF FORECAST AREA TO EXCLUDE
MENTION OF POPS. EXCEPTION WILL BE THE FAR S-SE WHERE A LINGERING
SURFACE TROUGH AND RESIDUAL MOISTURE WILL SUPPORT ISOLATED
CONVECTION. THICKNESSES SUPPORT MAX TEMPS ABOUT 5 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL.

ON MONDAY...MID LEVEL SHEAR AXIS ENTERS REGION WITH INCREASING LOW
LEVEL INSTABILITY (-3 TO -4 BY AFTERNOON) ALONG WITH  MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES AROUND 6 DEG C/KM. WILL MENTION SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 420 AM SATURDAY...

HAVE MADE A FEW CHANGES TO THE FORECAST IN THIS PERIOD. BOTH ECMWF
AND GFS SLOWLY DRAG SURFACE BOUNDARY THROUGH THE REGION LATE TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY THEN STALL BOUNDARY NEAR OR JUST SOUTH OF AREA.
MEANWHILE DRY AIR RIDGE NOSES SWD FROM PARENT HIGH OVER NEW ENGLAND.
PARENT HIGH RATHER WEAK (1027MB) BUT PATTERN SIGNALS POTENTIAL FOR
CAD EVENT. 850MB FLOW REMAIN S-SE THROUGH EVENT WHICH SHOULD RESULT
IN OVERCAST SKIES AND POTENTIAL FOR SOME RAIN. IF MODEL GUIDANCE IN
LATER RUNS REMAIN CONSISTENT...WILL NEED TO INCREASE POPS. HAVE
LOWERED TEMPS A FEW DEGREES FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST BUT IF CAD EVENT
DOES MATERIALIZE...MAX TEMPS WED AND THU MAY END UP BEING 5-7
DEGREES COOLER THAN FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 745 AM SATURDAY...
HANNAS CIRCULATION CENTER IS QUICKLY TRACKING NORTH ACROSS THE
CENTRAL COASTAL PLAIN. WIDESPREAD LIFR TO IFR CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MID TO LATE MORNING...WITH VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS
RESTRICTED TO IFR IN THE HEAVIER RAIN BANDS. HIGH WIND GUSTS RANGING
FROM 45KTS AT FAY AND RWI TO 25 KNOTS AT GSO AND INT WILL BE OF
CONCERN AS WELL.

CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY IMPROVE TO VFR FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST
BY MIDDAY...AS HANNAS DEEPER MOISTURE SHIELD LIFTS NORTH OF THE
AREA. MOSTLY CLEAR TO FAIR SKIES ARE EXPECTED BY THE EVENING...WITH
WINDS SUBSIDING TO 3 TO 5 KTS. THESE CONDITIONS COMBINED WITH
SATURATED SOILS WILL MAKE LOCALLY DENSE FOG OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY
AT RDU...RWI...AND FAY WHERE 3 TO 5 INCHES HAS FALLEN.

OTHERWISE...MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS FORECAST FROM SUNDAY ONWARD...
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MORNING FOG.
