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, 2:36 PM EDT, 9 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 2:36 PM EDT, 9 minutes before

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

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT STRETCHING EAST TO WEST ACROSS VIRGINIA WILL DRIFT
SLOWLY SOUTH TOWARD NORTH CAROLINA. 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 235 PM...

MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE WEAK TROUGH OVER NORTH
CAROLINA... ITS LOCATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANY MINOR MESO LOWS.
DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH MOVEMENT OF THE TROUGH AND WILL BASE THE
FORECAST LOOSELY ON A MEAN TROUGH POSITION FROM CHARLOTTE NORTHEAST
TO ROCKY MOUNT DURING THIS FORECAST PERIOD.

STILL EXPECTING CONVECTION TO INCREASE OVER CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
AS THE DAY TURNS TO EVENING WITH BEST COVERAGE NEAR AND SOUTH OF THE
ABOVE MENTIONED TROUGH. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATERS ON THE INCREASE TO
NEAR TWO INCHES BY TUESDAY... BUT LITTLE UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS...
EXPECT THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE TO MAXIMIZE LATE AFTERNOON AND SLOWLY
WANE TO ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED AS MIDNIGHT APPROACHES. IF
CONVECTION INDEED ENDS LATE TONIGHT... EXPECT AN EARLIER START TO
CONVECTION WITH A NEARLY SATURATED AIR MASS. LIKELY POPS BY LATE
TUESDAY MORNING... THOUGH HIGHER NEAR AND SOUTH OF THE TROUGH.

SEVERE THREAT TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT CONTINUES WITH HIGH DOWNDRAFT
CAPE AND SURFACE DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS IN MANY LOCATIONS EXCEEDING 25
DEGREES. SEVERE THREAT MUCH REDUCED FOR TUESDAY WITH MORE CLOUDS...
LOWER TEMPERATURES... AND MUCH LOWER CAPE.

LOW TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO DIP A BIT FROM THE PAST COUPLE OF
NIGHTS AS THE SURFACE TROUGH FILLS SLIGHTLY... LOWERING 1000 TO 850
MILLIBAR THICKNESSES. CLOUDS AND MOISTURE WILL COMPENSATE FOR THIS
SOMEWHAT... WITH MOST LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 70S. AFTERNOON
HIGH TEMPERATURES UNDER MOSTLY CLOUDY TO CLOUDY SKIES WILL STRUGGLE
TO REACH 85 TO 90 DEGREES.

&&

.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 MONDAY/...
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 /19Z 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.
