Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this flash flood warning; the first came 44 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

Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 00:00Z, 2.1 hours before the alert went out and 143 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Jun 9, 9:05 PM EDT, 1 hour 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 9:05 PM EDT, 1 hour 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
905 PM EDT TUE JUN 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A FRONTAL ZONE JUST NORTH OF THE AREA WILL RETREAT BACK
NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT LATE TONIGHT. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL
BUILD OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK... WHILE A
WEAK TROUGH OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE HOLDS OVER THE CENTRAL
CAROLINAS... BRINGING LOW RAIN CHANCES AND HOT TEMPERATURES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 905 PM TUESDAY...

SLOW-MOVING/MEANDERING THUNDERSTORMS PERSIST OVER THE FAR SE CWA...
WITHIN A REGION OF CONCENTRATED LOW LEVEL MASS CONVERGENCE... UPPER
LEVEL DIVERGENCE... AND ANOMALOUSLY DEEP MOISTURE (PW OVER 160% OF
NORMAL) WHERE DEWPOINTS HOVER AROUND 70F. THESE STORMS ARE WITHIN
MARGINAL DEEP LAYER SHEAR HOWEVER... WITH EFFECTIVE SHEAR AOB 20 KTS
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS... WHICH HAS LED TO THEIR PULSE-TYPE
NATURE AND MULTIPLE CELL MERGERS... THE LATTER OF WHICH HAS -- ALONG
WITH THE SLOW MOVEMENT -- CONTRIBUTED TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
TOTALS. HOURLY AMOUNTS OF 1.5-2.5 INCHES HAVE BEEN COMMON WITH THESE
CELLS... LEADING TO RISING CREEKS AND AT LEAST SOME URBAN FLOODING.
ELEVATED MARGINAL TO MODERATE INSTABILITY LINGERS... BUT WITH
GROWING CINH AND WEAKENING LAPSE RATES. THE THREAT OF STRONG BUT
LIKELY SUB-SEVERE STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO SLOWLY DIMINISH AS THE
MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS EAST AND THE DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT
DRIFTS TO THE ESE. WILL MAINTAIN A HIGH POP OVER THE SOUTHEAST FOR A
FEW MORE HOURS BEFORE STARTING A SLOW DIMINISHING TREND OVERNIGHT.
NORTHERN SECTIONS SHOULD SEE PARTLY CLOUDY TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...
BUT EXPECT STRATUS DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE SOUTH ALONG WITH LINGERING
CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS... RENDERING SKIES MOSTLY CLOUDY THERE.
LOWS 68-72 STILL LOOK GOOD. -GIH

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION AS OF 325 PM TUESDAY... WEAK MID LEVEL SHEAR
AXIS INTERACTING WITH THE MOIST UNSTABLE AIR MASS RESIDING OVER THE
COASTAL PLAIN AND SANDHILLS HAS TRIGGERED SCATTERED CONVECTION OVER
THIS REGION. THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE MOST CONCENTRATED
SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM LAURINBURG-WILSON. A SECONDARY BATCH OF
ISOLATED CONVECTION MAY DEVELOP IN VICINITY OF THE TRIAD REGION
AFTER 22Z...BUT AGAIN COVERAGE EXPECTED TO BE ISOLATED. BULK OF
CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH WITH LOSS OF HEATING...THOUGH LINGERING
SHEAR AXIS IN VICINITY OF SE COUNTIES MAY ALLOW A FEW SHOWERS TO
PERSIST UNTIL MIDNIGHT OR A LITTLE LATER.

EXPECT AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG TO DEVELOP
OVERNIGHT...MAINLY OVER THE SANDHILLS AND COASTAL PLAIN COUNTIES. DO
NOT EXPECT WIDESPREAD VISIBILITIES TO LOWER BELOW A MILE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 325 PM TUESDAY...

WEDNESDAY...WEAK SHEAR AXIS WILL LINGER OVER OUR EASTERN PERIPHERY
THOUGH DEEPER MOISTURE PROJECTED TO LIE CLOSER TO THE COAST AND NEAR
THE SC BORDER. STRONG HEATING WILL RESULT IN A SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE AIR
MASS WHICH SHOULD SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED-SCATTERED
CONVECTION..MAINLY EAST OF I-95. AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPS SIMILAR TO
TODAY...WELL INTO THE 80S TO AROUND 90.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...MID-UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS BEGIN TO EXTEND/BUILD
ACROSS OUR REGION IN RESPONSE TO STRENGTHENING ANTI-CYCLONE OVER THE
FL PENINSULA/BAHAMAS. SUBSIDENCE INVERSION ALOFT WILL TRAP MOISTURE
CLOSE TO THE SURFACE. THIS...IN CONJUNCTION WITH WEAK BUT PERSISTENT
SLY SFC FLOW...SHOULD CAUSE AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG TO DEVELOP
OVERNIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM TUESDAY...

A MID/UPR RIDGE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE SE STATES FROM THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC DURING THE PERIOD...WITH A 593 DAM 500MB RIDGE CENTERED
OVER GA/SC BY TUESDAY. THE MAIN WEATHER STORY DURING THIS TIME WILL
BE INCREASED HEAT AND HUMIDITY...WITH PERHAPS AN INCREASE IN HEAT-
RELATED IMPACTS TO AREA RESIDENTS AND ESP OUTDOOR WORKERS DUE TO THE
FIRST-OF-THE-SEASON PROLONGED STRING OF DAYS OF 90-95+ DEGREE HEAT
WITH HEAT INDICES APPROACHING 100. LOWS EACH NIGHT IN LOWER 70S.

IN TERMS OF PRECIP CHANCES...MAJOR SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING WILL BE
LACKING LATE IN THE WEEK AND EARLY WEEKEND...SO THE BEST CHANCE FOR
MAINLY DIURNAL SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL BE CLOSER TO THE COAST ALONG THE
SEA BREEZE AND TO OUR WEST NEAR THE MOUNTAINS...THUS WILL KEEP
DAYTIME POPS NEAR OR BELOW CLIMO VALUES. HOWEVER...LATE IN THE
WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...MODELS HINT THAT A SERIES OF
SHORT WAVES RIDING OVER THE TOP OF THE RIDGE MAY DROP SOUTH ACROSS
THE MID ATLANTIC REGION...OR PERHAPS OVER THE CAROLINAS...WHICH
WOULD INCREASE OUR RAIN CHANCES WITH EACH PASSING ONE. THE GFS STILL
SEEMS A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE PUSHING A COLD FRONT THIS FAR SOUTH SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY...BUT NONETHELESS...THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORT WAVES
SHOULD GIVE US AT LEAST CHANCE POPS LATE IN THE WEEKEND OR EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 745 PM TUESDAY...

24-HOUR TAF PERIOD: SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN LARGELY ALONG
THE NC/SC BORDER...MAINLY IMPACTING KFAY AND NEARBY TERMINALS...AND
WHICH WILL LINGER ACROSS THAT PART OF THE AREA FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF
HOURS. HAVE SEEN REDUCED VISIBILITIES TO 1/2 SM AND CIGS AR 800 FT
WITH THESE STORMS. ELSEWHERE...AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR STORM IS
POSSIBLE...BUT SHOULD HAVE RELATIVELY LITTLE IMPACT TO AVIATION. THE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD SLOWLY DIMINISH AND MOVE SOUTH AND EAST
BY AROUND MIDNIGHT. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE
NIGHT...THOUGH MAY SEE AREAS OF STRATUS AGAIN DEVELOP. THE CHANCES
FOR LOW CEILINGS APPEARS HIGHEST IN VICINITY OF KFAY AND KRWI WHERE
THE SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS BEEN CONCENTRATED...AND POSSIBLY KRDU...
WHERE SHOWER ACTIVITY OCCURRED EARLIER TODAY. LOWEST PROBABILITIES
FOR SUB-VFR CIGS WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF THE TRIAD TERMINALS
WHERE VFR CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR ALL NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING.

LOOKING AHEAD: AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL STRENGTHEN OVER
CENTRAL NC ON THURSDAY...AND PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
THIS WEATHER FEATURE WILL LIMIT/INHIBIT MOST AFTERNOON CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT. THERE WILL STILL BE A DECENT CHANCE FOR EARLY MORNING
MVFR FOG OR LOW CLOUDS EACH DAY.
