$$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 Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 25, 3:20 PM EDT, 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 25, 3:20 PM EDT, 32 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 320 PM EDT FRI APR 25 2014 .SYNOPSIS..A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE CAROLINAS THIS EVENING. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION TONIGHT AND PERSIST INTO SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 320 PM FRIDAY... ...TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF CENTRAL NC THROUGH 900 PM EDT... CURRENTLY MANAGING MULTIPLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA WITH NUMEROUS REPORTS OF LARGE HAIL. SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AROUND NIGHTFALL. CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON IS IN THE FORM OF DISCRETE CELLS AND CLUSTERS WITH PERSISTENT UPDRAFTS WHICH COMBINED WITH FREEZING LEVELS AROUND 10KFT HAS RESULTED IN THE NUMEROUS LARGE HAIL REPORTS. A MORE LINEAR CONVECTIVE FEATURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT IS LIKELY TO SWEEP ACROSS CENTRAL NC BETWEEN 21 AND 01Z. THE CONVECTION MAY HAVE A DOWNWARD TRAJECTORY IN INTENSITY TOWARD SUNSET AS THE SURFACE FLOW BECOMES MORE SOUTHWESTERLY DECREASING LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND POTENTIALLY REDUCING INSTABILITY WITH A SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR MASS. AFTER A CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE EARLY EVENING... CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AS A COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS PUSHES INTO THE REGION. SKIES SHOULD BECOME CLEAR OVERNIGHT WITH A LIGHT BREEZE STICKING AROUND FOR MOST OF THE EVENING. CURRENT FORECAST NOTES THAT WINDS MAY DECOUPLE ACROSS THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST TOWARD DAYBREAK SATURDAY AND LATEST NAM/GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS SUPPORT THIS. LOWS TONIGHT SHOULD FALLING INTO THE MID 40S TO MID 50S. SATURDAY SHOULD BRING FAIR WEATHER WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE AND NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. SUNSHINE WILL MIX WITH PERIODS OF HIGH CLOUDS BUT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SHOULD DESCRIBE THIS WELL. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE BETWEEN 78 AND 82 DEGREES. -BLAES && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 315 PM FRIDAY... A DRY BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS AN UPPER LOW/TROUGH MOVES OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. THERE HAS BEEN DISAGREEMENT AMONG THE MODELS THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS WITH REGARDS TO HOW FAR SOUTH THE FRONT WILL MAKE IT...BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL AT LEAST COME INTO OUR NORTHERN AREAS BEFORE IT WASHES OUT/RETREATS ON SUNDAY. THEN...HEIGHTS WILL BEGIN TO RISE ON SUNDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS EAST. THEREFORE...OVERALL THE WEATHER SHOULD BE QUIET FOR THE SHORT TERM PERIOD...WITH TEMPS SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL (ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA...SOUTH OF THE DISSIPATING BOUNDARY). && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 315 PM FRIDAY... AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PERIOD IS EXPECTED BEGINNING EARLY NEXT WEEK...LIKELY PERSISTING INTO THE MIDDLE/LATE PART OF THE WEEK AS A BLOCKING PATTERN SETS UP ACROSS THE CONUS. A STRONG SYSTEM/CUTOFF LOW THAT WILL LIKELY BE A BIG SEVERE WEATHER MAKER FOR THE CENTRAL CONUS OVER THE WEEKEND/EARLY NEXT WEEK...WILL SLOWLY MOVE EASTWARD. THE OVERALL TREND HAS BEEN TO SLOW DOWN THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION SOMEWHAT AS THE RIDGE HOLDS STRONG OVER THE EAST COAST. NOW THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP MAY HOLD OFF UNTIL WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WHEN THE SURFACE FRONT IS PROGGED TO CROSS THE AREA. EARLIER IN THE WEEK...MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH DEPICTING A WEDGE LIKE BOUNDARY BISECTING THE FORECAST AREA FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. THERE COULD STILL BE SOME PRECIP DURING THIS TIME FRAME AS ANY WEAK DISTURBANCE IN THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER SOME SHOWERS WITHIN AN INCREASINGLY MOIST AIR MASS. AT THIS TIME THE BEST TIME FRAME FOR SIGNIFICANT PRECIP LOOKS TO OCCUR WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY WITH THE FRONT. PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE LATE THURSDAY AS THE FRONT MOVES EAST OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...THE CLOSED LOW/UPPER TROUGH WILL LINGER OVER THE AREA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK (LIKELY INTO THE WEEKEND). EVEN THOUGH THERE IS STILL A LOT TO IRONED OUT WITH REGARD TO THE EXACT DETAILS OF THE FORECAST...GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM AND TIME OF YEAR... SEVERE WEATHER AND/OR HEAVY RAIN WILL BE A POSSIBILITY...ALTHOUGH EXACTLY WHEN IS TOUGH TO DETERMINE RIGHT NOW. TEMPS SHOULD BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL...BUT WILL ULTIMATELY DEPEND ON THE AMOUNT/TIMING OF CLOUDS/PRECIP. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 250 PM FRIDAY... AREAS AND CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS CENTRAL NC THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THE STORMS WILL BE SCATTERED INITIALLY AND MAY END AS A BAND OF CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE LOCALIZED AREAS OF IFR/MVFR VISIBILITIES ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL OF HAIL AND WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40KTS. THE CONVECTION WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST BETWEEN 00 AND 03Z TONIGHT WITH FAIR WATER VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AT 10 TO 20 KTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 30KTS AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON WILL BECOME WESTERLY BEHIND THE FRONT AT 5 TO 10 KTS AND PERSIST INTO SATURDAY. LOOKING BEYOND THE TAF PERIOD... GENERALLY FAIR WEATHER IS EXPECTED ON SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY BEFORE A PERIOD OF POTENTIALLY UNSETTLED WEATHER WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SETS UP TOWARD MID WEEK. -BLAES && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
