MWSWhat 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 Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 24, 3:19 PM EDT, 2 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 24, 3:19 PM EDT, 2 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 319 PM EDT SUN JUL 24 2011 .SYNOPSIS... AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL WEAKEN AND DRIFT WEST TODAY AND ALLOW A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO DROP INTO OUR REGION THROUGH THROUGH EARLY THIS WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 210 PM... CONVECTION BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD AT THIS TIME AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COMING OFF THE MOUNTAINS OF VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA ARE SET TO ADVECT SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. RAIN AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM CONVECTION WILL KNOCK TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S BEFORE RECOVERING A BIT. CURRENT HEAT ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR THOSE OUTSIDE THE INFLUENCE OF STORMS. SEVERE THREAT LIMITED TO DOWNBURST WINDS... BUT A SMALLER THREAT THAN SATURDAY. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS WITH ISOLATED FLOODING A RISK. SHOWERS WILL AGAIN DIMINISH SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET WITH ONLY ISOLATED SHOWERS EXPECTED AS MIDNIGHT APPROACHES. AIR COLUMN IS TOO SATURATED TO EXPECT MUCH MORE THAN LOCALIZED FOG TOWARD SUNRISE. AN UPPER TROUGH FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES BEFORE SUNSET MONDAY WILL ENHANCE SURFACE CONVERGENCE AND MOISTURE OVER NORTH CAROLINA MONDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS LESS THAN 20 KNOTS GENERALLY THROUGH THE AIR COLUMN AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO BE LOOSELY ORGANIZED AT BEST. NOT YET CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO PUSH RAIN CHANCES PAST 50 PERCENT... BUT COVERAGE WISE... THIS LOOKS LIKE OUR BEST RAIN OPPORTUNITY OF THE WEEK. MODERATE INSTABILITY... AND CAPE IN EXCESS OF 2500 JOULES SHOULD PRODUCE A FEW SHORT LIVED SEVERE STORMS WITH DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS. CLOUDS AND AFTERNOON RAIN SHOULD HOLD MOST LOCATIONS IN THE MID 90S FOR AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES MONDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID 70S... THOUGH MONDAY NIGHT A BIT WARMER THAN TONIGHT IN MOST LOCATIONS. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT... AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY... TUE AND TUE NIGHT: THE SOUTHEASTWARD PASSAGE OF THE LOW-MID LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED MOIST AXIS SHOULD SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TUE...MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF US HWY 64. WHILE INSTABILITY WILL BE AVAILABLE OVER NORTHERN NC AS WELL... SIGNIFICANT DRYING ALOFT AND LIGHT NORTH TO NORTHEASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW SHOULD PROVE TOO HOSTILE AN ENVIRONMENT FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S EXPECTED...IN AN ATYPICAL CLIMATOLOGICAL DISTRIBUTION GIVEN THE EXPECTATION OF MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS AMIDST SCATTERED STORMS OVER THE SANDHILLS... SOUTHERN PIEDMONT...AND SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN. PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE. MOST CONVECTION SHOULD DISSIPATE AROUND OR BEFORE SUNSET. GUIDANCE INDICATES MORE-ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD DEVELOP WITH THE ARRIVAL OF A SECONDARY SURFACE TROUGH FROM THE NORTH OVERNIGHT...BUT SUCH A WEAK/SHALLOW FEATURE IS UNLIKELY TO FORCE NOCTURNALLY-COOLED PARCELS TO THEIR LFC. THE FORECAST WILL ACCORDINGLY BE KEPT DRY FOR THE OVERNIGHT. WED AND WED NIGHT: NWP MODELS INDICATE A TRAILING TROUGH ALOFT WILL CROSS OUR REGION EARLY WED. THE UNFAVORABLE DIURNAL TIMING -- FOLLOWED BY STRONG HEIGHT RISES ASSOCIATED WITH A RETURNING MID LEVEL RIDGE -- AND CONTINUED DEEP LAYER DRYNESS...SUGGEST ANY CONVECTION WOULD BE VERY ISOLATED AND MOST PROBABLE OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST CWA. THE RETURN OF THE RIDGE ALOFT WILL ALSO HERALD THE BEGINNINGS OF HEATING TEMPERATURES...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE MIDDLE 90S. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 235 PM SUNDAY... MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST A RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE INVOF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND...FOLLOWED BY A GRADUAL SUPPRESSION OF THE RIDGE BY TROUGH AMPLIFICATION OVER SE CANADA ON SUN - A TRANSITIONAL PATTERN VERY SIMILAR TO THE ONE AFFECTING THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION NOW. AS SUCH...A REPEAT OF VERY HOT CONDITIONS IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S IS EXPECTED BY FRI-SAT... AFTER 95 TO 100 DEGREE HEAT ON THU. THE PRESENCE OF THE RIDGE ALOFT CENTERED NEARLY DIRECTLY OVERHEAD SUGGESTS ONLY ISOLATED DIURNAL CONVECTION...FOCUSED BY A LEE/THERMALLY-INDUCED TROUGH. && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 130 PM... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY IN AN AREA BOUNDED BY HIGHWAYS SIXTY-FOUR AND ONE AT THIS TIME...WITH STORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ELSEWHERE AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. OTHER THAN VICINITY OF SHOWERS... CONDITIONS WILL BE VFR UNTIL THE DAWN HOURS WHEN SOME PATCHY FOG WILL DEVELOP. MOST CONVECTION WILL END A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNSET... WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS PAST MIDNIGHT. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MORE WIDESPREAD IN COVERAGE MONDAY AFTERNOON... THEN MOSTLY CONFINED TO SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST AREAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. CONVECTION CHANCES DWINDLE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS THE AIR MASS DRIES OUT AND BECOME A LITTLE MORE STABLE. SIMILAR TO THE PAST FEW MORNINGS...EXPECT A 2 TO 4 HOUR WINDOW OF MVFR VISIBILITY IN FOG OR HAZE AROUND SUNRISE. && .CLIMATE...
