Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 7 minutes after it went out.
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 12:00Z, 11.0 hours before the alert went out and 126 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.

NWS Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 18, 3:58 PM EDT, 3 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 18, 3:58 PM EDT, 3 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 358 PM EDT MON AUG 18 2014 .SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL CROSS THE REGION THROUGH MID-WEEK IN ASSOCIATION WITH A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 230 PM MONDAY... OVERVIEW: AS OF 19Z...A POTENT SHORTWAVE LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN VA INVOF SOUTH HILL WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST TOWARD VIRGINIA BEACH AND ELIZABETH CITY THROUGH 00Z. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WAS CENTERED UPSTREAM NEAR LYNCHBURG VA...ON THE HEELS OF THE PRIOR WAVE. YET ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WAS LOCATED OVER UPSTATE SC AND WILL TRACK SLOWLY EAST ALONG OR NEAR THE NC/SC BORDER THROUGH THIS EVE. WITH SUCH A COMPLICATED PATTERN...UNCERTAINTY IN CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION REMAINS HIGH THIS AFT/EVE. PERVASIVE CLOUD COVER/PRECIP NORTH OF HWY 64 AND A MINIMUM IN 925 MB MOISTURE OVER MOST OF THE AREA PRIOR TO 17Z LARGELY SUPPRESSED DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION. HOWEVER...BOTH DECREASING CLOUD COVER AND RICH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION (~19C DEWPT AT 925 MB) FROM THE SOUTHWEST HAVE RESULTED IN RAPID DESTABILIZATION THE PAST SEVERAL HRS...WITH MODERATE TO STRONG MLCAPE (2000-2500 J/KG) PER 19Z SPC MESOANALYSIS. PRECIP/TEMPS: GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF SEVERAL SHORTWAVES POISED TO BRUSH BOTH THE NORTHERN/SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF CENTRAL NC...DEEP MOISTURE (PWAT 1.75-2.00") AND MODERATE INSTABILITY...EXPECT CONVECTION TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE/INTENSITY LATE THIS AFT/EVE... WITH A LOW CHANCE LINGERING OVERNIGHT. LOWS TONIGHT IN THE LOWER 70S. SEVERE THREAT: A FAVORABLE COMBINATION OF INSTABILITY AND LOW/DEEP LAYER SHEAR HAS EMERGED THIS AFTERNOON IN THE TRIAD...WHERE A WEAK MESOLOW HAS DEVELOPED ALONG A BAROCLINIC ZONE GENERATED BY DIFFERENTIAL HEATING/EVAP COOLING. IN THIS AREA...CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS WOULD SUGGEST A POTENTIAL FOR SUPERCELLULAR ORGANIZATION AND PERHAPS AN ISOLD TORNADO. OUTSIDE OF THIS LOCALLY FAV ENVIRONMENT...STRON INSTABILITY AND UNIDIRECTIONAL DEEP LAYER SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 20-30 KT (STRONGEST NORTH) WOULD SUGGEST CONVECTION WILL TAKE ON EITHER MULTICELL/SUPERCELLULAR CHARACTERISTICS WITH A POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND MARGINALLY SVR HAIL THROUGH 00-03Z THIS EVENING. -VINCENT && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 330 PM MONDAY... EXPECT PRECIP CHANCES NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY...AROUND 30- 40%...IN ASSOC/W A PATTERN OF WNW/NW FLOW ALOFT AND ABOVE NORMAL MOISTURE. -VINCENT && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 220 PM MONDAY... THE MAJOR PROBLEM THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD WILL BE DISCERNING WHEN AND WHERE A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR. THERE IS GOOD MODEL CONSENSUS AS TO THE TRANSITION TO A LARGER SCALE BLOCKING PATTERN OVER THE EASTERN CONUS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE GRADUAL MIGRATION OF AN UPPER LOW ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WILL AMPLIFY INTO A DEEPER UPPER TROF DOWN THE COAST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. CONCURRENT AMPLIFICATION OF AN UPPER RIDGE WEST OF THE AREA WILL PRODUCE PERSISTENT NORTHWEST FLOW WHICH WILL PRESENT THE USUAL PROBLEMS WITH TIMING FEATURES THAT WILL BE STEERED INTO THE AREA. AIRMASS WILL BE REASONABLY WARM (UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S) AND MOIST...PW ~1.5 INCHES... BUT MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL BE HAMPERED BY WESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH...SO CHANCES OF RAIN WILL BE IN THE CLIMATOLOGICAL RANGE...30 PERCENT-ISH...WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. A COOL SURGE WILL PROGRESS SOUTH AND ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER FAR EASTERN CANADA IS SHUNTED DOWN THE EASTERN SLOPES OF APPALACHIANS. THIS WILL ENHANCE A COASTAL TROF IN PLACE OFFSHORE AND RESULT IN DEEP NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW WITH ACCOMPANYING MOIST AND COOLER MARINE-FLAVORED AIRMASS PERSISTING THROUGH MONDAY. ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BE MINIMAL...AND MID LEVEL FEATURES IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BE NIL-CONFIDENCE THIS FAR IN ADVANCE. WOULD EXPECT PATCHY LIGHT RAIN/SHOWERS TO BE THE PREDOMINANT TYPE OF PRECIP...WITH POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION HINGING ON UPSTREAM FEATURES WE MIGHT SEE 24-48 HOURS IN ADVANCE. THICKNESSES WOULD INDICATE A 3-5 DEGREE COOL DOWN FOR SATURDAY...AND ANOTHER 1-2 DEGREES SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THIS WOULD KEEP US IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S EACH DAY...WHICH IS MORE LIKELY TO ERR ON THE HIGH SIDE GIVEN THE LOOK OF THE PATTERN AND POTENTIAL FOR SOCKING IN SOME SATURATED MARINE LAYER AIR OVERNIGHT WITH ACCOMPANYING DENSE FOG/LOW STRATUS TO START THE DAYS. && .AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 1115 AM MONDAY... 24-HR TAF PERIOD: PERIODS OF MVFR CEILINGS AND VISBYS ASSOCIATED WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AT MOST IF NOT ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT/VARIABLE AT NORTHERN TERMINALS AND SOUTHWEST AT 5-10 KT AT SOUTHERN TERMINALS (FAY). A PERIOD OF SUB-VFR CEILINGS AND/OR FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE AT ALL TERMINALS EARLY TUE MORNING (08-13Z)...WITH THE BEST CHANCE IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE RAINFALL THIS AFT/EVE...THOUGH CONFIDENCE REMAINS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE MENTION THEREOF WITH THE 18Z TAF ISSUANCE. LOOKING AHEAD: EXPECT A CLIMATOLOGICAL POTENTIAL FOR AFT/EVE SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH MID TO LATE WEEK...ALONG WITH A POTENTIAL FOR FOG AND/OR LOW CEILINGS DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. -VINCENT && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
