What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Jun 25, 3:15 PM EDT, 3 hours 5 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 3:15 PM EDT, 3 hours 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 315 PM EDT TUE JUN 25 2013 .SYNOPSIS... A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS COMBINED WITH A PERSISTENT TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 250 PM TUESDAY... THROUGH TONIGHT: SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE OVER CENTRAL NC AS SOUTHWESTERLY RETURN FLOW AROUND THE BERMUDA HIGH CONTINUES TO ADVECT WARM MOIST AIR INTO CENTRAL NC. SHOWER AND STORM ACTIVITY SHOULD WANE AFTER SUNSET...WITH MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS...FOG/LOW STRATUS COULD DEVELOP IN THE PRE-DAWN HOURS. EXPECT LOWS TONIGHT IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S. WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT: WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES SIMILAR TO TODAYS AND CONTINUED MOISTURE ADVECTION AT THE SURFACE WITH WEAK MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES MOVING OVER THE AREA...EXPECT ADDITIONAL DIURNAL SHOWERS AND STORMS TO DEVELOP WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. COVERAGE IS STILL DIFFICULT TO NAIL DOWN AT THIS TIME GIVEN THE DIFFERENCES IN MODEL GUIDANCE AND UNCERTAINTY IN THE HIGH-RES CAM SOLUTIONS. WILL LEAVE POPS CAPPED AT CHANCE...MAXIMIZED DURING PEAK HEATING AND DROPPING OFF TO SLIGHT CHANCE AFTER MIDNIGHT. IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE THAT CERTAIN AREAS...MOST LIKELY ACROSS THE SOUTH...COULD SEE GREATER COVERAGE AND MAY EVENTUALLY NEED TO INCREASE POPS INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY. WEAK SHEAR AND CAPE VALUES OF 1000-1500 J/KG WILL SUPPORT A PULSE SEVERE ENVIRONMENT WITH A CONTINUED THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN FROM SLOW MOVING STORMS. WILL USE A PERSISTENT FORECAST AS A BASELINE FOR TEMPERATURES GIVEN THE CONTINUED WARM MOIST AIRMASS...HIGHS IN THE MID 80S TO LOW 90S AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S...WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ONSET TIME OF CONVECTION AND CONVECTIVE COVERAGE COULD TRANSLATE INTO +/- 2 OR 3 DEGREES DIFFERENCE. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM TUESDAY... A STRONG PACIFIC JET AROUND THE BASE OF A POWERFUL UPPER LOW OFF THE PAC NW COAST...AND ASSOCIATED NEGATIVELY-TILTED TROUGH AXIS PIVOTING ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN AND ROCKIES THIS AFTERNOON...WILL AMPLIFY ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OH VALLEY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THE LEAD S/W TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED FORCING FOR ASCENT... CHARACTERIZED BY 20 METER MID LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS OVER CENTRAL NC...WILL PIVOT ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND NORTHERN MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION ON THU. THE APPROACH OF THE TROUGH ALOFT...IN CONJUNCTION WITH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG AN EASTWARD-MIGRATING LEE/PIEDMONT TROUGH...SHOULD SUPPORT LIKELY PROBABILITIES OF SHOWERS AND STORMS SPREADING EASTWARD ACROSS THE RAH CWFA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AN INCREASE IN LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW...ON THE ORDER OF 20 KTS AT H85 AND 25-30 KTS AT H5...WOULD SUPPORT PRIMARILY MULTI-CELL STORM ORGANIZATION AND AN ACCOMPANYING THREAT OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...AND TO A LESSER DEGREE MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. HOWEVER...BACKGROUND SRH OF AROUND 100-150 M2/S2 OWING TO THE STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL FLOW WOULD BE LOCALLY ENHANCED INVOF OUTFLOW...WHICH WOULD ALSO SUPPORT AN ISOLATED AND TRANSIENT SUPERCELLULAR STORM MODE. STORMS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH IN A WEST TO EAST FASHION THROUGH MIDNIGHT AS THE TROUGHS AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT HEAD TOWARD THE COAST. WARM AND HUMID...WITH HIGHS WITHIN A COUPLE OF DEGREES OF 90...AND GENERALLY LOWER 70S FOR LOWS. MORE OF THE SAME FOR FRI IN RELATIVELY PERSISTENT PATTERN AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT - WARM AND HUMID WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MOSTLY MULTI-CELLULAR STORMS. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 310 PM TUESDAY... INCREASINGLY WET. STRONG RIDGE AMPLIFICATION OVER THE ROCKIES WILL HELP CARVE A DEEP DOWNSTREAM TROUGH ALOFT CENTERED OVER THE TN VALLEY THIS WEEKEND...WITH SOME SLIGHT RETROGRESSION OF THE PATTERN (TROUGH SHIFTING WESTWARD INTO THE MS VALLEY) THROUGH TUE. THE PRESENCE OF AND PERSISTENCE OF THE TROUGH WILL PLACE MUCH OF THE EASTERN US...INCLUDING CENTRAL NC...IN A PATTERN OF DEEPLY MOIST SW FLOW ALOFT...FAVORABLE FOR ABOVE AVERAGE PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK. THE PROLONGED STORMY PERIOD WILL FAVOR AN INCREASING RISK OF FLOODING WITH EACH DAY THAT PASSES...WITH OTHERWISE AN OCCASIONAL PRECIPITATION-LOADED WET MICROBURST THE OTHER MAIN HAZARD. HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE MIDDLE 80S...AND LOWS 70 TO 75. && .AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 144 PM TUESDAY... 24 HOUR TAF PERIOD: MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THIS EVENING...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF REDUCED VISBYS AND BORDERLINE VFR/MVFR CIGS OCCURRING WITH SHOWERS AND STORMS. SOUTHWEST WINDS CONTINUE TO BE A BIT GUSTY AT KFAY AND KRWI BUT SHOULD DIE DOWN A BIT AFTER SUNSET. THERE IS A CHANCE AT ALL TERMINALS OF SOME VCTS/TS THIS AFTERNOON...BUT BEST CHANCES AT KRDU...KFAY...AND KRWI. IFR TO MVFR IN STRATUS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN LATE TONIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING AFTER SUNRISE. EXPECT WINDS A BIT STRONGER ON WEDNESDAY...MAINLY IN THE EAST. LOOKING AHEAD: RETURN FLOW AROUND THE BERMUDA HIGH COMBINED WITH WEAK SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES ALOFT AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL SUPPORT MOSTLY DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON. SUB-VFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES DUE TO FOG AND LOW STRATUS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS EACH NIGHT. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
