The radar

The Raleigh/Durham radar (KRAX), 151 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:22 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 flash flood 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

Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 00:00Z, 3.3 hours before the alert went out and 85 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, Jun 7, 8:05 PM EDT, 3 hours 14 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
805 PM EDT FRI JUN 7 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL TRACK NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS OUR
REGION OVERNIGHT. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL LINGER OVER
THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 805 PM FRIDAY...

THE HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING ASSOCIATED DIRECTLY WITH TROPICAL STORM
ANDREA HAS SHIFTED OUT OF THE STATE. HOWEVER... A STRONG UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE WAS SEEN ON WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY TRACKING NE
ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA INTO SOUTHWESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED IN RESPONSE TO
THIS FEATURE OVER WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. THIS CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT HAS EXTENDED NE ALONG A SURFACE TROUGH FROM CHARLOTTE TO
NEAR THE NW SIDE OF THE TRIANGLE REGION.

THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW WEAKLY ROTATING STORMS OVER RICHMOND COUNTY
RECENTLY... BUT THE SHEAR APPEARS TO BE MINIMAL ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE
SEVERE STORMS THIS EVENING. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE FROM ADDITIONAL
HEAVY RAIN OVER SATURATED GROUND. THIS COULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL
FLASH FLOODING. 1-3 HOUR FFG VALUES HAVE DIPPED TO LESS THAN AN INCH
IN URBAN AREAS... TO 1.5 TO 2.0 INCHES ELSEWHERE.

THE MOST FAVORED REGION FOR STRONG CONVECTION INCLUDING ADDITIONAL
FLASH FLOODING APPEARS TO BE IN THE REGION WHERE SKIES TEMPORARILY
CLEARED LATE THIS AFTERNOON... A REGION OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY.
THIS REGION ALSO COINCIDES WITH THE LOCATION OF THE SURFACE TROUGH.
AREAS FROM CHARLOTTE TO HIGH ROCK TO NEAR RDU... THEN SOUTH TO
FAYETTEVILLE ARE LIKELY TO SEE THIS ACTIVITY THROUGH AT LEAST 1200
AM. THE HIGHEST INSTABILITY WAS LOCATED IN THE FAR SW PIEDMONT
(ALBEMARLE AND WADESBORO TO CHARLOTTE) AND THIS IS WHERE THE
STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED. HOWEVER... SHOWERS AND AT
LEAST A FEW STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE EVEN OVER THE TRIANGLE AREA
TO FAYETTEVILLE (AS THE SLOW MOVING SURFACE TROUGH PUSHES SE INTO
THE VERY MOIST AIR MASS OUT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE). AT LEAST SOME CHANCE OF SHOWERS SHOULD LINGER
OVERNIGHT AS THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES OVERHEAD. LOWS
TONIGHT FROM 65-70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM FRIDAY...

FOR SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT: WEAK SURFACE TROUGHING WILL HOLD OVER
CENTRAL NC. WHILE THE VORTICITY MAX TRAVERSING WRN NC EARLY IN THE
DAY SHOULD DAMPEN A BIT AS IT HEADS TO OUR NORTH SATURDAY MORNING...
THE EARLY MORNING CONVECTION EXPECTED FROM THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE
WRN PIEDMONT MAY SPAWN AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT WOULD DRIFT INTO THE
ERN PIEDMONT/SANDHILLS AND COASTAL PLAIN BY AFTERNOON. MODELS
INDICATE CONTINUED DECENT DEEP LAYER SHEAR AROUND 30 KTS THROUGH THE
DAY... AND MLCAPE IS EXPECTED TO PEAK AT 800-2000 J/KG MAINLY FROM
HIGHWAY 1 EAST. WILL HOLD ONTO THE TREND TOWARD GOOD CHANCE POPS
WEST AND LIKELY EAST FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE
NAM'S CAPE IN THE MIXED PHASE REGION FROM -10C TO -30C GETS UP TO
600-800 J/KG... SO WE'LL SEE A RISK OF HAIL ALONG WITH A THREAT OF
STRONG WIND GUSTS IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS 84-88. WARM AND MUGGY
SATURDAY NIGHT WITH SHOWER/STORM CHANCES DIMINISHING WITH SHORTWAVE
RIDGING BUILDING IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING TROUGH AND A BRIEF RESPITE
OF DEEP MOISTURE WITH PW VALUES FALLING BACK TO AT OR BELOW 1.0 IN.
LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S AND AREAS OF FOG/STRATUS
DEVELOPING AS LOW LEVEL HUMIDITY REMAINS HIGH.

FOR SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT: SOUTHWESTERLY DEEP LAYER PERSISTS WITH WARM
MOIST SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW... BETWEEN A STRONG STACKED LOW OVER
THE MIDWEST TRACKING TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES... AND A DEEP
STRENGTHENING RIDGE OUT OVER THE ATLANTIC. WEAK WAVES RIDING
NORTHEAST OVER NC COMBINED WITH DEVELOPING INSTABILITY (MLCAPE OF
500-1500 J/KG IN THE EAST ON THE NAM) AND A RESURGENCE OF HIGH PW
(OVER 1.5 IN.) SHOULD INSTIGATE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS BY
AFTERNOON. DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE MUCH WEAKER... JUST AROUND 20
KTS... SO THE THREAT OF ORGANIZED STRONG STORMS IS MUCH LOWER. WILL
TREND CHANCE POPS BACK DOWN AFTER NIGHTFALL. HIGHS 86-89 AND LOWS
68-72. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM FRIDAY...

WARM/HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE MONDAY WITH A BAGGY FRONT TO OUR
NORTH AND SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT.  DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
WELL INTO THE 60S WITH SURGE OF PW BACK TO NEAR 2 INCHES DURING THE
DAY. INSTABILITY MAY BE SOMEWHAT HAMPERED BY CLOUD COVER AND MOIST
ADIABATIC LAPSE RATES...BUT MOISTURE WILL SUPPORT AT LEAST SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS.  AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS FORECAST TO SWING
ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY...PUSHING THE COLD FRONT SOUTH THROUGH OUT
AREA AND PROVIDING BETTER FORCING FOR CONVECTION.  THE LATEST GFS
AND ECMWF RUNS SHOW BETTER AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING OF THIS
FEATURE...THROUGH THE ECMWF IS STILL STRONGER AND WOULD SUPPORT A
BETTER SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.  HIGHS IN THE MID 80S EACH DAY.  MUGGY
LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.

THE PASSAGE OF THE TROUGH AND COLD FRONT SHOULD PROVIDE AT LEAST A
BRIEF REPRIEVE FROM THE HUMIDITY FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEK...AS A RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND NORTHWESTERLY
FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE MID-WEST AND OUR AREA.  AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE...LIKELY REMNANT MCS ACTIVITY...SHOULD IMPACT OUR AREA
BY THURSDAY OR FRIDAY.  HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IN SUCH FEATURES IS LOW
AT 6 OR 7 DAYS OUT.  HIGHS SHOULD BE GENERALLY BE NEAR NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SAT THROUGH WED/...
AS OF 800 PM FRIDAY...

IFR TO MVFR CEILINGS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE EVENING. HOWEVER...
MAIN CONCERN WILL BE WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY FROM
CLT TO RDU TO FAY THROUGH 200 AM. LATER TONIGHT... AREAS OF FOG AND
LOW CLOUDS ARE POSSIBLE.

AFTER 12Z SATURDAY...MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY
MIDDAY...WITH VFR POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON...MAINLY AT KGSO AND
KINT.  ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY ONCE AGAIN BE POSSIBLE OVER
PORTIONS OF EASTERN NC...AS A WEAKENING SURFACE FRONT WILL LINGER
OVER THE AREA.

OUTLOOK...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN BY SATURDAY EVENING.  WARM AND
MOIST CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO THE POSSIBILITY OF MORNING FOG/STRATUS
AND AFTERNOON SHOWS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...WITH A COLD FRONT
EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA BY TUESDAY EVENING.

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
