IIIWhat 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 May 10, 8:06 PM EDT, 1 hour 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 10, 8:06 PM EDT, 1 hour 12 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 806 PM EDT TUE MAY 10 2011 .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER DISTURBANCE APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST COUPLED WITH A SURFACE BOUNDARY OVER THE AREA...WILL PRODUCE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INTO TONIGHT. LARGE HAIL AND CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARDS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH MID WEEK. LOW PRESSURE AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE AREA AS THE WEEKEND APPROACHES. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... AS OF 8 PM TUESDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH CONINTUES FOR ENTIRE CWA THROUGH 11 PM EST. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUED TO DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTH AND NORTH CAROLINA...ESPECIALLY CLOSE TO THE STATE LINE. SEA BREEZE AND LINGERING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WERE THE MAIN FOCAL POINT FOR DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. AS DAYTIME HEATING COMES TO AN END SO WILL THIS FIRST ROUND OF STORMS. PREVIOUS THINKING STILL HOLDS WITH NEXT ROUND OF SHWRS/TSTMS COMING WITH MCS AS IT MOVES INTO THE CAROLINAS FROM THE N-NW. MODELS STILL SHOWING BEST ACTIVITY JUST SOUTH OF STATE LINE AS IT MOVES SOUTH-SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE WATERS. DEWPOINTS STILL UP BETWEEN 65 AND 70 OVER MOST OF AREA FROM STATE BORDER SOUTH...BUT TEMPS DOWN INTO THE MID 70S WHICH SHOULD HELP TO STABLIZE ATMOSPHERE...LEFT WITH MORE IN THE WAY OF ELEVATED CAPE. NAM STILL SHOWING PCP WATER VALUES UP TO 1.8 INCHES FOCUSED OVER SX/NC STATE LINE AS MCS MOVES THROUGH OVERNIGHT. SREF/GFS SHOWING BULLSEYE OF PCP WATER/QPF MOVING SOUTHEAST CLOSER TO OUR SOUTHERN CWA BORDER BETWEEN 04-09Z. STORMS SHOULD MOVE FROM N-NW TO S-SE IN A NORTHWESTERLY STEERING FLOW. CONVECTIVE DEBRIS MAY KEEP TEMPS ELEVATED OVERNIGHT...MORE-SO SC...WITH A COOLER ENE FLOW ANTICIPATED OVER THE NORTHERN ZONES AS HIGH PRESSURE NOSES SOUTHWARD. READINGS SHOULD DROP TO THE MIDDLE 60S SOUTHERN ZONES AND THE MIDDLE/UPPER 50S OVER THE NORTHERN INTERIOR. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH BACK SOUTH INTO AREA BY MORNING WITH DEEPER NORTHERLY FLOW. EXPECT SHOWER ACTIVITY TO WANE BY DAYBREAK. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...FORECAST MCS SHOULD BE EXITING THE SYSTEM AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL RIDGE IN FROM THE NE FOR THE REMAINDER OF WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS ANOTHER IMPULSE ALOFT WILL AFFECT THE AREA THURSDAY. OTHER THAN RESIDUAL POPS WEDNESDAY AM FOR DEPARTING MCS...THE REMAINDER OF WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT LOOK TO BE DRY. HAVE CARRIED CHC TO SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR THURSDAY INTO THE EVENING. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...LOW-CONFIDENCE FORECAST IN A POTENTIALLY UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED. UPPER RIDGE OVERHEAD ON FRIDAY SO WILL LIMIT POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE. HOWEVER THE UPPER RIDGE GETS PINCHED OFF OVER THE WEEKEND AND DEEPER SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL WARRANT CHANCE POPS. WILL BE HARD TO TIME ANY TRIGGERING MECHANISMS FOR CONVECTION AS A CLOSED LOW TAKES SHAPE OVER THE MIDWEST THIS WEEKEND...AND SLOWLY WORKS ITS WAY EAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. BAGGY SURFACE PRESSURE PATTERN WITH LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CAROLINAS WILL MAINTAIN A DECENT MOISTURE FEED. CHANCE POPS PRETTY MUCH ACROSS THE BOARD...AS IT APPEARS FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT IT WILL RAIN AT SOME POINT...OR POINTS...BUT CANNOT SAY WITH ANY CONFIDENCE WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN. TEMPS NEAR CLIMO BY DAY AND A COUPLE CATEGORIES ABOVE BY NIGHT...WITH CLOUDS AND PRECIP AS THE MAIN LIMITING FACTORS. && .AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 00Z...LARGE HAIL GOING ON RIGHT NOW...SO WILL BE BRIEF. LOOK FOR INITIAL CONVECTION TO MOVE SOUTH WITH ANOTHER CONVECTIVE COMPLEX EXPECTED TO ROLL THROUGH THE CWA FROM 01-05Z. BRIEF LIFR VISIBILITIES POSSIBLE. GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED...BUT LESS THAN 30 KTS AS A GENERAL RULE. IFR STRATUS/FOG WILL SET UP AFTER 05Z...DUE TO ALL THE PRECIP. WEDNESDAY...CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR AT ALL TERMINALS BY MID MORNING WITH MAINLY EAST SOUTHEAST WINDS. EXTENDED OUTLOOK...SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION POSSIBLE EACH DAY THROUGH SUNDAY. LOCALIZED IFR POSSIBLE EACH MORNING. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 8 PM TUESDAY...OVERALL SEAS WILL REMAIN LESS THAN 3 FT THROUGH TONIGHT. TSTMS OVER THE WATERS INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WILL MOVE FROM NNW TO SSE MAINLY OVER THE SC WATERS. YOU CAN EXPECT HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL WITH TURBULENT SEAS IN AND NEAR THUNDERSTORMS. SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...EXPECT WINDS TO HAVE A PREDOMINANTLY EASTERLY FLOW COMPONENT THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD...THOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME VARIABILITY IN DIRECTION BETWEEN NE AND SE AS THE FRONT AND HIGH PRESSURE BATTLE FOR CONTROL OF THE AREA. SPEEDS WILL BE LIGHT THOUGH AS SEA HEIGHTS WILL BE 4 FT OR LESS THROUGH THE PERIOD. NO FLAGS. LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 3 PM TUESDAY...LOOK FOR LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW EARLY FRIDAY...BUT WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY THROUGH THE DAY AS THE SURFACE RIDGE SLIDES OFFSHORE. SURFACE PATTERN REMAINS QUITE BAGGY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...SO WILL KEEP A SOUTHERLY COMPONENT THROUGHOUT. CONFIDENCE IS QUITE LOW WITH REGARD TO ANY SHIFT IN THE WINDS...BUT THERE REMAINS THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEERING TO WEST ON SUNDAY IF CONVECTION CAN PUSH A BOUNDARY OFFSHORE. WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW ADVISORY THRESHOLDS...WITH 15 KT AND 4 FT AS THE UPPER LIMIT AT THIS POINT. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SC...NONE. NC...NONE.
