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.
The nearest sounding before it
Charleston AFB, SC (KCHS), launched 12:00Z, 11.8 hours before the alert went out and 124 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.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 2, 7:31 PM EDT, 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 731 PM EDT THU AUG 2 2012 .SYNOPSIS... BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BRING NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL DAYTIME TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND ACCOMPANIED BY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENINGS. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA MONDAY...BUT COULD LINGER AS IT WEAKENS SLOWLY THROUGH MID-WEEK...BRINGING INCREASING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO THE AREA. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...THE ILM FORECAST AREA APPEARS TO BE SITUATED BETWEEN 2 UPPER FEATURES PRESENTLY TRIGGERING CONVECTION NORTH AND SOUTH OF OUR ZONES. SEVERAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WERE ENCROACHING OUR NORTHERN TIER...WHILE CONCURRENTLY THE SEA BREEZE FRONT WAS MAKING GOOD INLAND PROGRESS THIS AFTERNOON. THESE FEATURES COMBINED WITH LARGE SURFACE-BASED CAPES AND -9 TO -10 DEGREE CELSIUS AIR AT 500 MB...BUT SOMEWHAT DRY ALOFT WARRANTS ISOLATED CONVECTION THROUGH AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. WITH NO SIGNIFICANT UPSTREAM FEATURES OBSERVED IN WATER VAPOR ANALYSIS...THINK CONVECTION WILL BE STRONGLY TIED TO DIURNAL HEATING...AND ANTICIPATE DIMINISHING STORMS INTO MIDDLE EVENING. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...PRETTY TYPICAL EARLY AUGUST WEATHER EXPECTED ACROSS THE EASTERN CAROLINAS FOR THE SHORT TERM. RESIDUAL TROUGH AT 500MB WILL BE SQUEEZED OUT BY MID LEVEL RIDGES ADVANCING BOTH FROM THE WEST AND THE EAST. GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT SOME PORTION OF THIS TROUGH WILL LAST WELL INTO FRIDAY WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER 1000-500MB THICKNESSES AND COOLER 500MB TEMPS...EVEN AS THE VORT ITSELF WEAKENS SIGNIFICANTLY. WITH PWATS AROUND 1.75 INCHES...SOMEWHAT ENHANCED ML LAPSE RATES...AND SURFACE TEMPS RISING INTO THE LOW 90S...BELIEVE THERE WILL BE AT LEAST ISOLATED CONVECTION FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON THE SEA BREEZE FRIDAY. LIKE THE INHERITED SCHC POP FRIDAY AND WILL MAKE ONLY MINIMAL UPDATES TO THAT. AS RIDGE ELONGATES AND BUILDS OVERHEAD SATURDAY...OVERALL CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WILL BE LESS. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT EVEN AS 500MB TEMPS RISE...850MB TEMPS FALL SLIGHTLY SO SURFACE TEMPS WILL BE A LITTLE COOLER SATURDAY...RIGHT AROUND 90. SOME DRIER MID LEVEL AIR AND MUCH WEAKER ML LAPSE RATES SUGGESTS CONVECTION WILL BE HARD TO COME BY SATURDAY...BUT WILL CONTINUE SCHC POP ALONG THE SEA BREEZE DURING THE AFTN. MINS EACH NIGHT WILL BE RIGHT AROUND CLIMO...71-74 MOST PLACES. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...MAIN FEATURES AT THE MID LEVELS WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES EARLY WITH MID LEVEL RIDGING TAKING PRECEDENCE LATER IN THE PERIOD. AT THE SURFACE...THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH A FRONT DOWN NORTH OF THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK MAKING ITS CLOSEST APPROACH LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. AFTER A BRIEF LULL OR STALL...A SECONDARY FRONT BUOYED BY HEIGHT FALLS ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. THURSDAY WILL MOVE THE BOUNDARIES CLOSER. POPS INCREASE FROM SUNDAYS MINIMAL CHANCE VALUES TO LOW CHANCE MONDAY AND TUESDAY. WEDNESDAYS FORECAST REPRESENTS A SLIGHT DECREASE IN VALUES FOLLOWED THURSDAY BY AN INCREASE. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO TEMPERATURE FORECAST. && .AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 00Z...TS/SHRA NEAR ILM WILL DISSIPATE BY 01Z WITH ONLY TEMPO -SHRA EXPECTED. VCTS EXPECTED UNTIL 02Z AT FLO. CHANCE OF VCTS/TEMPO MVFR CRE/MYR 00Z-02Z. NO CONVECTION EXPECTED AT LBT. LOW PROBABILITIES OF SHOWERS OVERNIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS LIKELY TO GIVE WAY TO MVFR VSBYS BY 08Z AND IFR BY 09Z. CONFIDENCE ON IFR TIMING AND DURATION LOW. VCSH POSSIBLE 16-19Z AT THE COASTAL TERMINALS. SE-S WINDS EXPECTED FRI. EXTENDED OUTLOOK...CHANCE OF MORNING MVFR VSBYS IN BR WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...OUTSIDE OF TSTMS WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD NOT POSE MUCH HAZARD FOR MARINERS THROUGH DAYBREAK FRIDAY...WITH SSW WINDS 10-15 KT AND SEAS OF 2-4 FEET...HIGHEST OUTER PORTION. TSTMS MAY FIRE OVERNIGHT OFFSHORE DUE TO A DISTURBANCE ALOFT OVER EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA DROPPING TO THE SE. MARINERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT RADAR TRENDS BEFORE HEADING OUT LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY FRIDAY MORNING TO AVOID AN AVOIDABLE ENCOUNTER WITH LOCALLY ROUGH SEAS AND WINDS. SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...PRETTY UNIFORM CONDITIONS ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AS BERMUDA RIDGE BEGINS TO RIDGE BACK TO THE WEST FROM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. S/SW WINDS OF AROUND 10 KTS WILL PERSIST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...WITH MINOR FLUCTUATIONS UP TO 15 KTS POSSIBLE AT TIMES. THESE WINDS WILL PRODUCE A 2-3FT/5SEC SW WIND WAVE...WHICH WILL COMBINE WITH A 2FT/8SEC SE SWELL TO CREATE 2-3 FT SEAS ACROSS ALL COASTAL ZONES. LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...ROUTINE SUMMERTIME CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH THE PERIOD. WIND SPEEDS DO INCREMENTALLY INCREASE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS A FRONT EDGES EVER SO CLOSER FROM THE NORTH. EXPECT 10-15 KNOTS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD WITH ACTUAL WINDS CLOSER TO THE LOWER END OF THE RANGE EARLY AND HIGHER LATE. THE LATEST WAVEWATCH IS ADVERTISING SEAS IN A NARROW RANGE OF 2-3 FEET WHICH SEEMS REASONABLE CONSIDERING THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...ANOTHER COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE CAPE FEAR RIVER NEAR DOWNTOWN WILMINGTON FOR MINOR BUT NON- HAZARDOUS WATER ENCROACHMENT OF LOCAL ROADWAYS.
