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 Jun 25, 10:01 PM EDT, 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 10:01 PM EDT, 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
1001 PM EDT MON JUN 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DIGGING SOUTHEAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO
THE MID ATLANTIC WILL DRIVE A COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL
SOUTH CAROLINA TOWARD SUNRISE. DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS A STRENGTHENING UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST...BRINGING NEAR RECORD
TEMPERATURES BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1000 PM...

CURRENT LINE OF BROKEN CONVECTION JUST SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 64 AND
WILL EXIT THE ARE BEFORE DAWN. WILL BE SLIGHTLY SLOW TO CLEAR
WATCH FROM THE NORTHEAST WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS STILL UPPER 60S TO
NEAR 70. DEWPOINTS TO PERHAPS PLUNGE INTO THE UPPER 40S LATE
TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES NEAR 60 NORTH TO NEAR 67
SOUTHEAST.

BUILDING CONTINENTAL POLAR AIR MASS WILL MAKE ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL
CONDITIONS FOR LATE JUNE...WITH BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS INTO THE
MID 40S RESULTING IN COMFORTABLE RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS. LOW
LEVEL THICKNESSES ARE PROJECTED TO BE AROUND 20 METERS BELOW
NORMAL...SUPPORTING DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 79 TO 83.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 1230 PM MONDAY...

LATEST FORECAST TRACK FOR TROPICAL STORM DEBBY TAKES THE STORM
ACROSS THE UPPER FLORIDA PENINSULA IN THE THURSDAY TIME FRAME. THE
STORM WILL REMAIN TOO FAR SOUTH TO INFLUENCE THE SHORT TERM FORECAST.

UPPER TROUGH MIGRATES OFFSHORE WITH WARM CORE RIDGING BUILDING IN
FROM THE MIDWEST. STRONG CAPPING ALOFT WILL SUPPRESS CONVECTION
AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE UPSWING...FROM NEAR NORMAL MID TO
UPPER 80S ON WEDNESDAY TO THE LOW...PERHAPS MID 90S ON THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1230 PM MONDAY...

THE TRACK OF TROPICAL STORM DEBBY REMAINS IN QUESTION AND A TRACK
NEARER THE ATLANTIC COAST COULD PERHAPS PRODUCE SOME IMPACTS IN FAR
EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA IN THE LATE WEEKEND. OTHERWISE...THE MID
LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST FLATTENS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN CONUS INTO THE WEEKEND. THE RESULTING CAPPED ATMOSPHERE
WITH HOT AIR MASS IN PLACE AND COPIOUS SUN WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES
TO APPROACH RECORD TRIPLE DIGITS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

RETROGRESSION WESTWARD OF THE RIDGE LATE THIS WEEKEND WOULD TAKE THE
EDGE OFF THE HIGHS IN NORTHWEST FLOW...BUT STILL LOOKS LIKE MOSTLY
MID 90S SUNDAY AND MONDAY. LOSS OF THE CAP WOULD ALSO PERMIT WIDELY
SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION. WITH NO SIGNIFICANT FORCING MECHANISMS
DETECTABLE AT THIS POINT...WILL KEEP POPS IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE
RANGE.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 830 PM MONDAY...

24-HR TAF PERIOD:

A FRONT DROPPING SOUTH FROM THE VIRGINIA BORDER WITH WIDELY
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND TO ITS SOUTH. THE
RISK FOR CONVECTION WILL BE SLOWEST TO CLEAR THE SOUTHEAST...
WHERE ISOLATED STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE UNTIL ABOUT 4 AM. WINDS
BRIEFLY GUSTY TO 20 MPH NEAR AND BEHIND THE WIND SHIFT. VFR
TUESDAY UNDER A NORTH TO NORTHEAST WIND LESS THAN 10 MPH.

VFR CONDITIONS WITH CLEAR SKIES AND VERY LITTLE CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION THROUGH SATURDAY AS A STRENGTHENING UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST.

&&

.CLIMATE...
UPCOMING HIGH TEMPERATURES RECORDS AND YEAR THE RECORD WAS LAST SET:

JUNE 29 (FRIDAY)--
RDU: 101 (1945)
