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 severe thunderstorm 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.

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 Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 28, 12:12 PM EDT, 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 28, 12:12 PM EDT, 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1212 PM EDT THU APR 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
TODAY... ACCOMPANIED BY NUMEROUS STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 1210 PM THURSDAY...

SLIGHT RISK OF A TORNADO/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH 200 PM ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN AND
SOUTHERN SANDHILLS.

HIGH WIND WARNING IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN PIEDMONT
AND COASTAL PLAIN 200 PM THIS AFTERNOON...

APPEARS TORNADO THREAT IS DIMINISHING AS MUCH OF THE
SANDHILLS/COASTAL PLAIN HAVE STABILIZED SOMEWHAT WITH LOW MLCAPE
VALUES WHICH HAS DROPPED SPC SIG TOR VALUES TO LESS THAN ONE.
ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS PRESENT AND THIS COMBINED WITH SUFFICIENT
SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING WILL PROMOTE DEVELOPMENT/MAINTENANCE OF
CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SANDHILLS AND COASTAL PLAIN.
WIND PROFILE BECOMING MORE LINEAR BUT SUFFICIENT DEEP LAYER SHEAR
WILL ALLOW CONVECTION TO BE ORGANIZED AND PERHAPS SUPER CELLULAR.
BUT EXPECT MUCH OF THE CONVECTION TO BE SLIGHTLY ELEVATED WHICH
WILL REDUCE THE TORNADO BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE SEVERE THREAT.

STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH PRESSURE PERTURBATION THAT MOVED
ACROSS MUCH OF THE SANDHILLS AND CENTRAL COASTAL PLAIN APPEARS TO
BE SUBSIDING AS BOUNDARY LAYER DEEPENS AND DUCTING DIMINISHES.
EXPECT THE DAMAGING WIND THREAT OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION TO CONTINUE
TO EBB.

CATEGORICAL POPS WILL DROP THIS AFTERNOON AS DEEP MOISTURE AND
FRONT PUSHES EAST. HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID 70S TO AROUND 80 DEGREES
LOOK OKAY. -BLAES/99

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 325 AM THURSDAY...

FOR TONIGHT: FOLLOWING CONSENSUS OF MODEL OUTPUT... WILL TREND POPS
OUT OF THE ERN CWA BY EARLY EVENING. THE 850 MB TROUGH LAGS THE
SURFACE COLD FRONT BY SEVERAL HOURS... SO WE SHOULD SEE SCATTERED TO
BROKEN CLOUDS LINGER UNTIL LATE EVENING BEFORE SKIES CLEAR OUT
OVERNIGHT WITH LOW LEVEL FLOW BECOMING WEST-NORTHWESTERLY. LOWS
48-55.

FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT: THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS AND A
LAST SHOT OF DPVA FINALLY SHIFTS OVERHEAD FRIDAY... AND LINGERING
MOISTURE ATOP THE MIXED LAYER SHOULD RESULT IN A BRIEF PERIOD OF
PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. WITH LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES ABOUT 10 M
BELOW NORMAL... EXPECT HIGHS OF 70-75. RISING HEIGHTS ALOFT AND
SUBSIDENCE WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE CAROLINAS
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT SHOULD LEAD TO GENERALLY CLEAR
SKIES... WITH SLIGHTLY BELOW-NORMAL TEMPERATURES GIVEN THE
BELOW-NORMAL THICKNESSES. HIGHS SATURDAY 73-78. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM THURSDAY...

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT:
TRANQUIL WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...
WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED OFFSHORE AND RIDGING ALOFT HOLING
OVER THE AREA. WITH LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES TOPPING OUT NEAR 1390
METERS ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON... EXPECT MORE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS. HIGHS
ON SUNDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE LOWER 80S. LOWS SUNDAY MORNING
WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW STRENGTHENING AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT ARE
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY:
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE AMPLIFICATION OF
THE NEXT TROUGH ALOFT. HOWEVER... THE 00Z GFS AND 00Z ECWMF HAVE
COME INTO AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT MOVING
INTO THE AREA ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE MAIN DIFFERENCES ARISE WITH
THE PROGRESSION AND AMPLITUDE OF THE TROUGH ALOFT AT OUR LATITUDE.
THE GFS IS SLOWER WITH ENERGY TRACKING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN U.S....
WHICH RESULTS IN THE FRONT HANGING UP JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE
AREA... AND CONTINUED RAIN CHANCES THROUGH WEDNESDAY (WITH A CLOSED
LOW ALOFT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA). THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO SHOW ANY
ENERGY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN U.S. MOVING QUICKLY EASTWARD AND INTO THE
BASE OF THE L/W TROUGH AS IT AMPLIFIES. THIS SOLUTION PROVIDES A
DEEPER AND MORE OVERALL PROGRESSIVE PATTERN...WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGING
BUILDING BACK INTO THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. FOR NOW WILL TREND
MORE TOWARDS THE ECWMF... WHICH IS MORE IN LINE WITH HPC. HIGHS ON
MONDAY WILL DEPEND ON THE TIMING OF THE FRONT ULTIMATELY. FOR NOW
WILL ONLY LOWER TEMPS SLIGHTLY... HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER
80S. LOWS MONDAY NIGHT IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. WITH A LOT OF
UNCERTAINTY ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY... WILL GO WITH HIGHS IN THE
LOWER TO UPPER 70S TUESDAY AND UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S WEDNESDAY.
WILL GO WITH LOWS WEDNESDAY MORNING IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 645 AM THURSDAY...

AT ALL CENTRAL NC TAF SITES THROUGH 16Z... EXPECT MAINLY MVFR
CIGS... SUSTAINED WINDS FROM THE S OR SSW AT 10-15 KTS GUSTING TO
18-30 KTS... AND BRIEF MVFR/IFR VSBYS WITHIN SHOWERS AND STRONG
STORMS. CURRENT SHOWERS/STORMS ARE ISOLATED TO FEW... BUT AS A COLD
FRONT SWEEPS IN FROM THE WEST... A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY IT... FROM
17Z-21Z AT INT/GSO... 18Z-22Z AT RDU... AND 19Z-23Z AT RWI/FAY.
WINDS WILL SHIFT SUDDENLY FROM SSW TO WSW WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE. CIGS
WILL TREND TO VFR THEN UNLIMITED WEST TO EAST FROM 21Z-23Z WITH
QUICKLY DIMINISHING WEST WINDS.

LOOKING BEYOND FRIDAY MORNING... VFR CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT WINDS ARE
EXPECTED FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE
AREA. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MAY BRING MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBYS WITH
SHOWERS AND STORMS ON MONDAY. -GIH
