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 Jul 9, 1:43 PM EDT, 13 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 1:43 PM EDT, 13 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
143 PM EDT MON JUL 9 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT STRETCHING EAST TO WEST ACROSS VIRGINIA WILL DRIFT
SLOWLY SOUTHWARD INTO NORTH CAROLINA BY LATE TODAY. THE FRONT WILL
THEN STALL AND LINGER OVER THE REGION THROUGH MUCH OF THE WORK
WEEK... BRINGING UNSETTLED WEATHER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1012 AM...

LITTLE MODEL CONSENSUS IN DETAILS REGARDING CONVECTION TODAY.
CONVECTION OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AT THIS TIME MEAGER AND
SIGNIFICANTLY OVERDONE BY MANY CONVECTIVE ALLOWING MODELS. THESE
MODELS WEAKEN CONVECTION AS IT ADVECTS OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND INTO
THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT BY MID AFTERNOON. NO CONSENSUS IN THE
TRADITIONAL MODELS WITH PRECIPITATION MAXIMA APPEARING WHEREVER LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS MAXIMIZED... BUT WITH NO CONSENSUS ON LOCATION.
THE NAM LOW LEVEL WINDS LOOK OVERDONE... WITH ITS PRECIPITATION
LIKELY TOO INTENSE.

SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A ROUGHLY EAST WEST WIND SHIFT LINE NEAR
HIGHWAY 64 AT THIS TIME. ROUGH CONSENSUS BETWEEN THE MESONAM AND RAP
MODELS IN A WEAK CONVERGENCE IN THE FOOTHILLS ADVANCING INTO THE
WESTERN PIEDMONT MID AFTERNOON. THE RAP INITIATES CONVECTION NEAR
AND SOUTH OF ITS CONVERGENCE ZONE... WHICH IT MEANDERS SOUTH IN
THE EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE LIFTING THE BEST CONVERGENCE NORTHEAST
AS THE MODEL MOVES A SLOWLY DEEPENING WEAK LOW ALONG THE BOUNDARY.
THE GFS DROPS THE BOUNDARY SOUTH AND LEAVES IT NORTH OF HIGHWAY 74
AT SUNSET. PRESSURE TENDENCIES MAY OFFER A CLUE AS TO THE PROPER
SOLUTION AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. NONE OF THE MODELS SEEM
PARTICULARLY EXCITED ABOUT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM VIRGINIA
BRINGING CONVECTION TO NORTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON.

WITH LOW CONFIDENCE IN EXACT LOCATION... WILL FAVOR CURRENT BOUNDARY
SHIFTING SLIGHTLY SOUTH WITH TIME... AND BECOMING MORE NORTHEAST TO
SOUTHWEST TOWARD SUNSET. AREAS NEAR AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY
EXPECTED TO BE THE ORIGIN FOR CONVECTION... WITH ISOLATED CONVECTION
POSSIBLE ALMOST ANYWHERE IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THE NORTHEAST LEAST
FAVORED FOR CONVECTION UNTIL CLOSER TO SUNSET WHEN PART OF THE
BOUNDARY MAY LIFT NORTH INTO THE AREA.

THE RAP MODEL IS MUCH SLOWER TO MOISTEN THE AIR MASS TODAY AND
PRODUCES SIGNIFICANTLY LESS SURFACE BASED CAPE AND INSTABILITY THAN
MOST MODELS. FREEZING LEVELS OF 15 TO 16 THOUSAND FEET WITH A DRY
INVERTED VEE BOUNDARY LAYER. SLIGHT THREAT FOR DAMAGING DOWNBURST
WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTH CONTINUES WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES MID TO
UPPER 90S.

FOR TONIGHT FORECASTING MINOR SHIFT SOUTH IN THE BOUNDARY TO FAVOR
THE SOUTHEAST FOR EARLY NIGHT CONVECTION BEFORE STORMS SUBSIDE
OVERNIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES 73 TO 78.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 235 AM MONDAY...

THIS PERIOD WILL BE DOMINATED BY A BROAD MID LEVEL TROUGH...WHILE AT
THE SURFACE...A TROUGH/WEAKENING FRONT WILL BISECT THE REGION FROM
NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BRING IN MOISTURE FROM
THE GULF AND/OR ATLANTIC AND LEAD TO PWAT VALUES EXCEEDING 2 INCHES
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. THIS WILL
ALL RESULT IN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH
DAY DURING THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. WILL HAVE THE HIGHEST POPS DURING
THE FAVORED DIURNAL HOURS...ALTHOUGH DO NOT EXPECT THE PRECIP TO
COMPLETELY COME TO AN END DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WITH REGARDS
TO ANY SEVERE THREAT...THE DEEP LAYER FLOW...SHEAR AND MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ARE ALL FORECAST TO BE RATHER WEAK...THEREFORE AM NOT
EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY ORGANIZATION. HOWEVER...CANNOT RULE OUT A
FEW ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS EACH AFTERNOON...WITH THE MAIN
THREAT BEING DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS...AS CAPE VALUES ARE FORECAST
TO BE ON THE ORDER OF 1500-2000 J/KG...HIGHEST ACROSS THE EAST. HIGH
TEMPS WILL BE BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD...GENERALLY MID TO
UPPER 80S DUE TO THE CONSIDERABLE CLOUD COVER AND ABOVE NORMAL
PRECIP CHANCES...WHILE THE OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL HOVER AROUND 70
DEGREES.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 230 AM MONDAY...

THE REMNANTS OF THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO LINGER OVER THE AREA
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BE NEAR
NON-EXISTENT AND NO HELP IN MOVING THE FRONT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
THEREFORE...CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PREVAIL EACH
DAY WITH THE MOST LIKELY TIME FRAME COINCIDING WITH PEAK HEATING
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. AS THE WEEKEND APPROACHES...A HIGH
PRESSURE OFF OF THE SOUTHEAST COAST BEGINS TO TRY AND BUILD IN FROM
THE EAST. THIS COULD HELP EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA BEGIN TO DRY
OUT LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES DURING THIS
PERIOD WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE FROM THE MID 80S TO THE UPPER 80S BY
SUNDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN FAIRLY CONSISTENT...UPPER 60S
TO NEAR 70 DEGREES.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 140 PM...

SHOWERS DEVELOPING SOUTH AND WEST OF HIGHWAYS 64 AND ONE. EXPECT
THUNDERSTORMS AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES AND COVERAGE TO INCREASE
AND SPREAD OVER MOST OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA BY LATE AFTERNOON.
IFR VISIBILITIES IN SHOWERS. STORMS WILL DECREASE IN THE LATE
EVENING AND BECOME SCATTERED TO ISOLATED AS MIDNIGHT APPROACHES.
SOME FOG AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT... ESPECIALLY WHERE SIGNIFICANT
RAIN FALLS THIS AFTERNOON. SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ALMOST ANYTIME
AFTER SUNRISE TUESDAY... ESPECIALLY NEAR AND SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 64.

THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS... PRIMARILY IN THE AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT... WITH CONVECTION DECREASING IN COVERAGE FOR
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND MORE LIKELY TO BE CONFINED TO THE
AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE FOR MVFR CEILINGS
AND VISIBILITIES LATE NIGHT TO JUST AFTER SUNRISE EACH NIGHT.
