The radar

The Raleigh/Durham radar (KRAX), 102 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 06:21 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

Newport, NC (KMHX), launched 00:00Z, 6.3 hours before the alert went out and 148 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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
220 AM EDT FRI JUL 4 2014

.SYNOPSIS...HURRICANE ARTHUR WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE OUTER
BANKS THIS MORNING...ALLOWING A COLD FRONT TO FINALLY MOVE SLOWLY
EAST ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AND THEN OFF THE COAST BY TONIGHT. COOL
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 215 AM THURSDAY...

HURRICANE ARTHUR MADE LANDFALL AS A CATEGORY 2 STORM AT 11:15 PM
THURSDAY NIGHT BETWEEN CAPE LOOKOUT AND BEAUFORT...WITH AN OBSERVED
WIND GUST OF 101 MPH AT CAPE LOOKOUT. ARTHUR WILL CONTINUE TO
ACCELERATE TO THE NORTHEAST AND IS EXPECTED TO PASS OVER THE OUTER
BANKS IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. ARTHUR'S RAIN BANDS CONTINUE TO ROTATE
ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF CENTRAL NC...WITH THE MAIN THREAT NOW
BEING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN GIVEN THE TORNADO THREAT HAS DIMINISHED
OVER OUR AREA AS BOTH THE INSTABILITY AND SRH HAS DECREASED. IN
FACT...RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1-3 INCHES (WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER
AMOUNTS...POSSIBLY UPWARDS OF 5 INCHES) HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN AREAS
GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE 1-95 CORRIDOR. HOWEVER...RADAR
TRENDS HAVE SHOWN DECREASING PRECIP RATES AND THUS ANY LOCALIZED
FLOODING THREAT SHOULD ALSO GRADUALLY DIMINISH.

AS ARTHUR ACCELERATES TO THE NORTHEAST...PRECIP WILL TAPER OFF
ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS...WITH MOST OF THE AREA EXPECTED TO BE DRY BY
15Z. IN ADDITION...A COLD FRONT THAT HAD BEEN HELD WEST OF THE AREA
ON THURSDAY...WILL FINALLY MAKES ITS PUSH ACROSS CENTRAL NC THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING. DRIER AIR FILTERING INTO THE AREA IS ALREADY EVIDENT
ACROSS THE TRIAD AS DEWPOINTS HAVE BEGUN TO FALL IN THE LAST HOUR OR
SO. THIS DRIER AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND
THE DEPARTING FRONT WILL RESULT IN GRADUALLY CLEARING SKIES.

SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS ARE EXPECTED ON FRIDAY AS THE COOLER AND DRIER
AIR OVERSPREADS THE AREA...WITH HIGHS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID TO
UPPER 80S (POSSIBLY APPROACHING 90 DEGREES ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH).
MORE NOTICEABLE WILL BE THE SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER OVERNIGHT LOWS...
WITH UPPER 50S TO LOW/MID 60S EXPECTED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 200 AM FRIDAY...

BY SATURDAY MORNING ARTHUR IS EXPECTED TO HAVE GONE EXTRA-TROPICAL
AND BE MOVING INTO NOVA SCOTIA AND THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. AS IT
DOES SO...THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STEERING THE STORM WILL LIFT
OUT...LEAVING A VERY WEAK UPPER FLOW REGIME OVER CENTRAL NC. SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC WILL KEEP CONDITIONS DRY THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL REMAIN A HALF AN INCH TO
AN INCH THROUGH SUNDAY. LEFT OVER NORTHERLY SURFACE FLOW ON SATURDAY
WILL HELP TO KEEP MAX TEMPERATURES DOWN A BIT...MID 80S IN THE NORTH
TO UPPER 80S IN THE SOUTH. A WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN FOR SUNDAY
BRINGING MAX TEMPS UP INTO THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 DEGREES. LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 60S SATURDAY NIGHT AND MID TO UPPER 60S
SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 200 AM FRIDAY...

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT: CENTRAL NC WILL STILL BE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF RETURN FLOW AROUND THE BERMUDA HIGH...WITH
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW KEEPING THINGS MOSTLY DRY OUTSIDE OF A SCATTERED
AFTERNOON SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM...MAINLY IN THE EAST ALONG THE SEA
BREEZE FRONT. AT THE SAME TIME...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO
DIG SOUTHWARD OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE
FRONT WILL BEGIN TO DIP SOUTH THROUGH NEW ENGLAND AND THE OHIO
VALLEY. THIS FRONT WILL BRING THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT CHANCE FOR
RAINFALL TO CENTRAL NC LATER IN THE WEEK. AS THICKNESSES GO
UP...TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW SUIT...RISING INTO THE LOW 90S ON
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE MID 90S ON TUESDAY. LOWS IN THE UPPER
60S TO LOWER 70S.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT: A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM
THE NORTHWEST DURING THIS TIME PERIOD AND PROVIDE THE NEXT REAL SHOT
FOR SOME PRECIPITATION OVER THE AREA. CURRENT MODELS DIFFER IN THE
HANDLING OF THIS FEATURE AS IT CROSSES CENTRAL NC. THE 18Z RUN OF
THE ECMWF MODEL SHOWS THE SYSTEM STALLING OUT OVER NC ON WEDNESDAY
WHEREAS THE GFS HOLDS THE SYSTEM OFF UNTIL THURSDAY. BOTH PRESENT
THE CHANCE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF RAINFALL BUT DISAGREE ON THE
TIMING. FOR NOW WILL CONTINUE CHANCE POPS WITH DIURNAL TIMING BOTH
DAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE HOT BOTH DAYS WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 90S
AND LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 200 AM FRIDAY...

HURRICANE ARTHUR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE TO THE NORTHEAST ALONG THE
NC COAST EARLY THIS MORNING. RAIN BANDS ROTATING AROUND THE STORM
WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
(PRIMARILY JUST AFFECTING KRWI) FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS...WITH ALL
PRECIP EXPECTED TO BE OUT OF CENTRAL NC BY 12-15Z AT THE LATEST.
OUTSIDE OF ANY SHOWERS/STORMS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. AS
ARTHUR MOVES AWAY FROM THE COAST...A COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY PUSH
THROUGH THE REGION. VFR CONDITIONS AND FAIR WEATHER ARE THEN
EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CURRENT TAF PERIOD BEHIND THE
DEPARTING TROPICAL SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT. THERE COULD BE SOME
LINGERING GUSTS UNTIL LATE FRIDAY MORNING AS ARTHUR DEPARTS (MAINLY
AT KRWI).

OUTLOOK...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE AREA IN THE WAKE OF ARTHUR
AND THE COLD FRONT WILL RESULT IN FAIR WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
ISOLATED MAINLY AFTERNOON OR EVENING SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
