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 May 29, 2:53 PM EDT, 1 hour 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 29, 2:53 PM EDT, 1 hour 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
253 PM EDT THU MAY 29 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD FRONT WILL STALL JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA ON
FRIDAY. THEN...HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND INTO THE REGION FROM THE
NORTH OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 245 PM THURSDAY...

THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS THE BACKDOOR COLD FRONT HAS MOVED
THROUGH THE AREA. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO RIDGE INTO
CENTRAL NC...HELPING MOVE THE FRONT THROUGH THE REGION. LOW CLOUDS
HAVE MADE THEIR WAY THROUGH MUCH OF CENTRAL NC...WHICH MAY KEEP THE
BEST INSTABILITY ACROSS THE FAR SW THIS EVENING. THE BEST CHANCES
FOR CONVECTION ARE ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST WHERE THE RELATIVELY CLEAR
SKIES HAVE ALLOWED FOR THE HIGHEST TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS AND THE BEST
DESTABILIZATION. MLCAPE...1000-1500 J/KG...STRONG LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES...AND MARGINAL MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE ALSO PRESENT. SHEAR
STILL REMAINS WEAK...LESS THAN 20 KTS. AS A RESULT...WHILE AN
ISOLATED DOWNBURST OR STRONG TO SEVERE WIND GUST IS POSSIBLE IN THE
SOUTHWEST...EXPECT MAINLY GARDEN VARIETY SHOWERS AND STORMS. EXPECT
SHOWERS TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT...WITH THE BEST
CHANCES SOUTHWEST OF THE TRIANGLE. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL RANGE FROM
AROUND 60 DEGREES NE TO MID 60S SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 245 PM THURSDAY...

OVERCAST SKIES FRIDAY MORNING WILL START TO BREAK APART DURING THE
DAY AS THE DRY AIR ADVECTING INTO THE MID LEVELS MIXES DOWN...WITH
MANY PLACES BECOMING PARTLY SUNNY BY THE AFTERNOON. THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL REAMIN IN THE VICINITY OF CENTRAL NC...WHICH WILL
RESULT IN A TEMP GRADIENT OF APPROX 5-10 DEGREES FROM SW TO NE...
HIGHS MAINLY IN THE MID 70S NE TO MID 80S SW. WITH THE BEST MOISTURE
AND HIGHEST TEMPS IN THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST FRIDAY...EXPECT BEST
INSTABILITY AND POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION THERE. THOUGH THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO DRY OUT OVERNIGHT...SOME LOW STRATUS
COULD DEVELOP...MAINLY ACROSS THE SW HALF OF THE AREA. OVERNIGHT
LOWS EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM MID 50S NE TO MID 60S SOUTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM THURSDAY...

TO BEGIN THE LONG TERM PERIOD...FAIRLY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE (~1025
MB) WILL BUILD DOWN THE EAST COAST AND PERSIST OVER THE REGION
THROUGH AT LEAST THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL PUSH THE FRONT EVEN FURTHER
SOUTH...WITH DRIER AIR FINALLY ABLE TO FILTER INTO THE AREA.
ALOFT...SHORTWAVE RIDGING WILL BUILD EAST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
ALL OF THIS WILL VIRTUALLY BRING AN END TO OUR PRECIP CHANCES WITH
STABLE NORTHEASTERLY FLOW DOMINATING. TEMPS WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 70S TO
LOWER 80S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN SHIFT OFFSHORE BY LATE MONDAY...
ALLOWING THE LOW LEVEL FLOW TO GRADUALLY BECOME MORE SOUTHWESTERLY.
THIS WILL RESULT IN INCREASING MOISTURE...AS WELL AS A MODERATION IN
TEMPS. THERE IS SOME DISAGREEMENT WITH REGARDS TO THE EVOLUTION OF
THE UPPER RIDGE...WITH THE GFS QUICKER TO BREAK IT DOWN AND THE
ECMWF MAINTAINING THE RIDGE OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK. WITH THE FLATTENING OF THE RIDGE DEPICTED BY THE GFS...PRECIP
CHANCES INCREASE AS EARLY AS TUESDAY. THIS MAY BE TOO QUICK (AS THE
GFS ENDS TO BREAK RIDGES DOWN TOO QUICKLY)...THEREFORE WILL HOLD OFF
INTRODUCING DIURNAL SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY UNTIL WEDNESDAY AND
THEN EVEN MORE SO INTO THURSDAY. TEMPS SHOULD RISE BACK ABOVE
NORMAL...WITH A RETURN TO 90S BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 125 PM THURSDAY...

24 HOUR TAF PERIOD: WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TERMINALS IN THE FAR SW...
KFAY...MUCH OF THE AREA IS EXPERIENCING MVFR CIGS AS THE BACKDOOR
COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH THROUGH CENTRAL NC. SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED WEST AND NORTH OF THE AREA...AND WILL PUSH
EAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...LIKELY IMPACTING KINT...KGSO...
KRDU...AND KFAY THIS AFT/EVE. ALTHOUGH KINT AND KGSO MAY CONTINUE TO
BOUNCE BETWEEN VFR AND MVFR THIS AFTERNOON...EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS
TO CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING. KFAY COULD
POTENTIALLY GO DOWN TO MVFR AS WELL IF THE CLOUDS CONTINUE SLIDING
SOUTHWARD. TONIGHT...EXPECT IFR/LIFT CIGS TO DEVELOP...MAINLY AFTER
00Z FRIDAY...ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA...AND VISBYS COULD GO DOWN TO
MVFR AS WELL...ESPECIALLY AT LOCATIONS THAT GET RAIN. SHOWERS MAY
LINGER THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY...BUT GIVEN THE CURRENT
UNCERTAINTY...WILL KEEP THAT PART OF THE TAFS DRY FOR NOW. SUB-VFR
CEILINGS ARE LIKELY TO PERSIST IN MOST AREAS FRIDAY...WITH GRADUALLY
LIFTING CIGS THROUGH THE LATE MORNING/AFTERNOON.

LOOKING AHEAD: SUB-VFR CEILINGS WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT..ALTHOUGH A PERIOD OF VFR CONDITIONS IS POSSIBLE FRIDAY
AFT/EVE. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO RETURN SAT-MON AS DRY HIGH
PRESSURE EXTENDS INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR
SUB-VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE TUESDAY.
