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 Wilmington, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 28, 3:40 PM EDT, 2 hours 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 28, 3:40 PM EDT, 2 hours 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
340 PM EDT MON JUL 28 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BRING STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DRIER AND COOLER AIR
WILL SETTLE INTO THE REGION IN WAKE OF THE FRONT MUCH OF THIS
WEEK...AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE DROPS INTO THE REGION. RAIN
CHANCES WILL RETURN BY NEXT WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE
BUILDS WEST AND BRINGS A RETURN OF MOISTURE TO THE EAST COAST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY...DOWNSLOPE WIND-FLOW IS WIDESPREAD AND SOMEWHAT
STRONG ACROSS THE AREA EVIDENCED BY ORIENTATION OF CLOUDS STREETS
IN VISIBLE ANIMATIONS AND THE NEARLY CLEAR SKIES ALEE OF THE MTNS
OVER THE WESTERN CAROLINAS. THE DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT RUNS NEARLY TO
THE SURFACE WITH A SW-WSW COMPONENT REPORTED AT GROUND STATIONS ALL
THE WAY TO THE COAST. THIS HAS RESULTED IN LOW SURFACE CONVERGENCE
SO FAR IN THIS SLIGHT RISK REGIME.

A ZONE OF BURGEONING CUMULUS EXTENDED ALONG A CORRIDOR FROM THE
GULF COAST STATES TO CHARLESTON SC...CURLING NE ALONG THE NORTH
CAROLINA COAST...WITH DISCREET CELLS POPPING UP OVER THE SE NC AN
NE SC INTERIOR. STORM MOTION GENERALLY WEST TO EAST AT 25-30 MPH
WILL SET UP A POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TSTM WINDS IF DEEP CONVECTION
CAN MATERIALIZE IN THE WESTERLY FLOW. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO
THE POP FORECASTS...REMAINING IN THE ISOLATED/SCATTERED CATEGORY.
A SVR TSTM WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL 900 PM THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY...UNSEASONABLY COOL AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT.
CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SPILL SOUTHWARD ON TUESDAY...
WHILE A LARGE UPPER TROUGH LINGERS OVER THE EASTERN U.S. THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN BELOW NORMAL TEMPS IN THE EASTERN
CAROLINAS...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE MID 80S BOTH DAYS. LOWS WILL
DIP INTO THE MID 60S INLAND AND UPPER 60S CLOSER TO THE BEACHES. FLO
COULD APPROACH A DAILY RECORD LOW ON WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS. FOR REFERENCE...HERE ARE THE DAILY
RECORD LOWS FOR ILM AND FLO DURING THE SHORT TERM PERIOD:

WILMINGTON NC RECORD LOWS...DATING BACK TO 1874
JULY 30: 61F (1914)
JULY 31: 60F (1914)

FLORENCE SC RECORD LOWS...DATING BACK TO 1948
JULY 30: 63F (1997)
JULY 31: 62F (1997)

PWATS WILL FALL TO 1.0-1.2 INCHES BY MID WEEK...SO POPS WILL BE
NEGLIGIBLE. GIVEN THAT FORECAST HIGH TEMPS ARE WITHIN A FEW DEGREES
OF OUR OCEAN TEMPS...DO NOT EXPECT MUCH OF A SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION
TO DEVELOP EITHER DAY...WHICH FURTHER LIMITS ANY PCPN CHANCES.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY...A DEEP 500MB TROUGH WILL PLAGUE THE REGION
THROUGH THE PERIOD...RETROGRADING ONLY SLIGHTLY NEXT WKND AND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW NORMAL
THROUGH THE PERIOD...WARMING TO NEAR-SEASONABLE LEVELS SUN/MON. AT
THE SAME TIME...WHILE THU/FRI WILL LIKELY BE DRY THANKS TO W/SW
MID-LEVEL FLOW AND PWATS AROUND 1.25 INCHES...THE WEEKEND AND EARLY
NEXT WEEK WILL FEATURE BETTER RAIN CHANCES. THE STALLED BOUNDARY
WELL OFFSHORE WILL PUSH BACK TOWARDS THE COAST AS THE MID-LEVEL
RIDGE EXPANDS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. AS THIS OCCURS...MID-LEVEL FLOW
BECOMES MORE SOUTHERLY...WHICH COMBINED WITH INCREASING SURFACE
MOIST ADVECTION AS THE FRONT/TROUGH MOVES ONSHORE WILL CREATE MUCH
HIGHER PRECIP CHANCES SAT/SUN/MON. IN ADDITION...GUIDANCE CONTINUING
TO DEVELOP A WEAK LOW PRESSURE ON THE TAIL END OF THIS BOUNDARY AND
MOVE IT TOWARDS THE COAST AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. WHILE THIS IS
PROGGED TO REMAIN QUITE WEAK...IT IS A FAVORED LOCATION FOR POSSIBLE
LOW DEVELOPMENT...SO WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED DURING THE UPCOMING
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...SHORT-LIVED MVFR/IFR POSSIBLE IN ISOLATED STRONG STORMS
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. OTHERWISE EXPECT VFR.

DIURNAL CU FIELD WILL INCREASE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS WILL
CHANCES FOR FOR ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA. AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SUSTAINED SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10
TO 12 KTS AND GUSTS UP TO 20 KTS. COULD NOT ENTIRELY RULE OUT
SHORT-LIVED PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR WITH THE CONVECTION AS STRONGER
STORMS MAY PRODUCE HEAVY DOWNPOURS AT TIMES. THE FRONT WILL PUSH
OFFSHORE LATER TONIGHT ALLOWING FOR CONVECTION TO TAPER OFF AND
SKIES BEGIN TO GRADUALLY CLEAR...GIVING WAY TO VFR WITH VEERING
WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS AOB 10 KTS THROUGH THE
END OF THE VALID TAF PERIOD.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...MVFR DUE TO MORNING FOG POSSIBLE THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY. OTHERWISE EXPECT VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY...EXERCISE CAUTION CONDITIONS IN EFFECT
THROUGH MID EVENING FOR 15-20 KT SW WINDS AND 3-5 FT SEAS. AS A
COLD FRONT NEARS THE COAST...THE WINDS WILL DECREASE OVERALL BUT
THE TSTM THREAT WILL INCREASE OVER THE WATERS. MARINERS ARE URGED
TO GET A FIX ON RADAR EVEN IF HEADING OUT ON THE ICW. SEAS A MIX
OF S WAVES 3-4 FT AT 5-6 SECONDS AND SE WAVES 1-2 FT AT 8-9
SECONDS. SEAS WILL LESSEN TO 2-4 FT AND A WINDSHIFT TO THE NW AT
15 KT LOOKS TO OCCUR PRIOR TO DAYBREAK OVER THE WATERS AS A COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY...NORTH WINDS 10-15 KT AT THE START OF THE
PERIOD WILL RELAX AND BECOME NORTHEAST AOB 10 KT BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. 3 FT SEAS WILL SUBSIDE TO 2-3 FT LATER ON TUESDAY AS THE
POST-FRONTAL GRADIENT WEAKENS. NORTHEAST FLOW OVER THE WATERS WILL
PERSIST THROUGH MIDDAY WEDNESDAY...WHEN WINDS BECOME MORE EASTERLY
BUT REMAIN AOB 10 KT. SEAS WILL BE IN THE 2 FT RANGE ON WEDNESDAY.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM MONDAY...STALLED COLD FRONT OFFSHORE WILL WAVER JUST
EAST OF THE WATERS THROUGH LATE WEEK...BEFORE SLOWLY PUSHING BACK
TOWARDS THE COAST ON SATURDAY. WITH HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING DOWN THE
COAST THU/FRI...E/NE WINDS AROUND 10 KTS WILL BE THE RULE BOTH DAYS
OF THE LATE WEEK PERIOD...BEFORE VEERING TO THE SE AT LESS THAN 10
KTS ON SATURDAY THANKS TO THE WESTWARD ADVANCE OF THE COASTAL
TROUGH. SEAS WILL BE SIMILARLY UNIFORM...2-3 FT THU/FRI WITH A NE
WIND WAVE DOMINANT IN THE SPECTRUM...AND REMAINING 2-3 FT SATURDAY
BUT WITH AN INCREASING SE WIND WAVE AND GROUND SWELL.
