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 Wilmington, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 29, 8:33 PM EDT, 2 hours 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 29, 8:33 PM EDT, 2 hours 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
833 PM EDT MON AUG 29 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER-LEVEL IMPULSE AND A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL BRING THE ONLY
CHANCE FOR RAIN TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
FOLLOW LATER TUESDAY AND PERSIST FOR MOST OF THE WEEK...WITH DRY
WEATHER AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 6:55 PM MONDAY...SEA BREEZE HAS PUSHED SURFACE BOUNDARY INLAND
AND NVA IN THE WAKE OF A FEATURE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONVECTION EARLIER
OFFSHORE HAS LIMITED ACTIVITY ALONG THE COAST TO ALMOST NOTHING.
DIFFERENT STORY INLAND WHERE STRONG SHORTWAVE IS ALLOWING
CONVECTION TO ORGANIZE. FORECAST DILEMMA IS HOW FAR THIS CONVECTION
MAKES IT EAST. 1800 UTC MODELS ARE INSISTENT ON THIS HAPPENING WITH
THE SHORTWAVE AND THE FRONT PUSHING BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST. FOR THIS
REASON I HAVE ELEVATED POPS QUITE A BIT FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ALL
AREAS. ALSO INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND MIN TEMPERATURES. SEVERE
THREAT SEEMS TO BE DIMINISHING WITH THE HEATING OF THE DAY BUT STILL
PLENTY OF DOWNDRAFT CAPE TO TAP IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. WATCH
CONTINUES THROUGH 11 PM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 2:00 PM MONDAY...PROGRESSIVE MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE REPLACED BY
RIDGING WEDNESDAY ALTHOUGH THE FLOW WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY FROM THE
NORTHWEST. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD DOWN FROM THE
NORTHEAST THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS WILL ALLOW COOL ALMOST FALL LIKE
TEMPERATURES TO DEVELOP ESPECIALLY THURSDAY MORNING WHERE LOWER 60S
WILL BE COMMON. REGARDING POPS CANT COMPLETELY RULE OUT ACTIVITY
WITH ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING TUESDAY VIA THE SEA BREEZE.
PROFILES ARE JUST TOO DRY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WEDNESDAY. WITHOUT THE
LUXURY OF VERIFICATION FOR THE NEW AIRMASS WILL OPT FOR A BLEND OF
THE WARMER MET NUMBERS...WHICH MIGHT MAKE MORE SENSE VIA THE SLOW
NATURE OF THE COLD AIR ADVECTION AND THE COOLER MAV NUMBERS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 2:00 PM MONDAY...THURSDAY WILL BRING NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
WHILE HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE RIDGES IN FROM THE NNE. BOTH WILL
PROVIDE A SOURCE FOR RELATIVELY DRY AIR SO THE DAY SHOULD STAY
RAIN-FREE DESPITE SOME WEAK SHORTWAVES RIPPLING BY NOT FAR TO OUR
NORTH. TEMPS WILL BE RIGHT NEAR CLIMO. UPPER PATTERN AMPLIFIES ON
FRIDAY AS UPPER RIDGING BUILDS OVER MS/OH VALLEYS AND A TROUGH
DEEPENS OFF THE MIDATLANTIC COAST. FLOW ALOFT VEERS TO NNW AND
SURFACE HIGH SHOWS LITTLE MOVEMENT. THE DRY AIR SOURCES WILL THUS
REMAIN UNFETTERED AND FRIDAY WILL ONCE AGAIN BE DRY AND SEASONABLE.
THE UPPER RIDGE TO OUR WEST BECOMES SUPPRESSED BY SATURDAY AS A VERY
BROAD BELT OF WESTERLIES PUSHES INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND WESTERN
GREAT LAKES. EVENTUALLY THIS JET WILL DEEPEN A TROUGH OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY THAT COULD PUSH A FRONT INTO THE CAROLINAS BY THE END OF THE
PERIOD. RAIN CHANCES WILL FINALLY RETURN TO THE FORECAST ON MONDAY.

&&
.AVIATION /01Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 00Z...CURRENT RADAR DEPICTS A CLUSTER OF SHRA/TSRA PROPAGATING
EASTWARD TOWARDS THE AREA. THOUGH THIS CONVECTION IS SLOWLY
WEAKENING...IT IS LIKELY THAT IT WILL AFFECT THE INLAND TERMINALS
THIS EVENING. THEREFORE...HAVE INCLUDED A VCTS AT KLBT/KFLO OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. CONVECTION COULD CREATE BRIEF MVFR
RESTRICTIONS. ALSO...CURRENT MVFR CIG AND VSBY RESTRICTIONS AT
KMYR/KCRE. EXPECT THIS TO LAST FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
OVERNIGHT...THE CHANCE FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL
SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA INTO THE COASTAL SITES. GIVEN
UNCERTAINTY...HAVE OPTED TO INCLUDE ONLY VCTS ATTM.

OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...A CHANCE OF SHRA/TSRA WILL
SLOWLY DIMINISH AS THE MORNING PROGRESSES. LATEST GUIDANCE AND
SOUNDINGS SUPPORT THE POSSIBILITY OF A LOW STRATUS LAYER
DEVELOPING...POSSIBLY CREATING MVFR RESTRICTIONS AT KLBT/KFLO. FOR
KILM/KCRE/KMYR...HAVE INTRODUCED A LLVL CLOUD LAYER...BUT KEPT AT
SCT FOR NOW...INTRODUCING THE POTENTIAL FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT GIVEN
LIGHT WINDS AND RESIDUAL MOISTURE. EXPECT LLVL JET TO AT INLAND
SITES TO NOT SUPPORT ANY FOG DEVELOPMENT...THOUGH CANNOT RULE OUT
ATTM. WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL BE NORTHEAST AROUND 8 KTS AT THE INLAND
SITES...AND NEAR CALM AT THE COASTAL SITES. BY DAYBREAK...EXPECT VFR
TO PREVAIL...WITH NORTHEAST WINDS SHIFTING TO THE EAST BY THE
AFTERNOON WITH WIND SPEEDS AOB 10 KTS.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...PATCHY MORNING FOG EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY MORNINGS...WITH ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 6:50 PM MONDAY...ESSENTIALLY NO CHANGES TO COASTAL WATERS
FORECAST. STILL EXPECT A WIND SHIFT TO NORTHEAST JUST AFTER
MIDNIGHT. EXPECT CONVECTION TO FIRE AS WELL WITH STRONG MID LEVEL
DYNAMICS. GOOD CHANCE OF A SMW OR MARINE WEATHER STATEMENT TO BE
ISSUED AS EARLIER CONVECTION HAS BEEN LADEN WITH STRONG OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES.

SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 2:00 PM MONDAY...NORTHEASTERLY FLOW THROUGH THE PERIOD AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN. WIND FIELDS THROUGH 850MB SHOW AT LEAST THREE
DISTINCT SURGES MOVING ACROSS. ONE TUESDAY...ONE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
AND ONE THURSDAY MORNING. ALWAYS TOUGH TO TIME THESE EXACTLY BUT I
DO HAVE THE WINDS ON THE HIGHER END OF THE 10-15 KNOT RANGE
CORRESPONDING TO EACH OF THESE PERIODS. SWAN SEAS ARE 2-4 FEET WITH
MOSTLY WIND WAVES. A VERY SUBTLE SWELL COMPONENT DOES DEVELOP LATE
IN THE PERIOD.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 2:00 PM MONDAY...WIND WILL BE OUT OF THE NORTHEAST ON THURSDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE SITS CENTERED OVER THE NEW ENGLAND STATES WHILE A
RIDGE AXIS EXTENDS DOWN INTO THE CAROLINAS. SEAS WILL AVERAGE 2 TO 4
FT AND BE COMPRISED OF BOTH A 6 SECOND NE WIND WAVE AND AN 8 SEC
EASTERLY 8 SEC WAVE. ATMOSPHERIC CHANGES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WILL BE
MINOR AND CONFINED TO THE UPPER LEVELS...WITH LITTLE CHANGES NOTED
AFFECTING THE SURFACE PRESSURE PATTERN AND THUS THE WINDS. WIND AND
SEAS FORECAST WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY STEADY. THERE COULD BE SOME
VEERING ON SATURDAY AS THE SURFACE HIGH WEAKENS.
