$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river 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 river flood warning went out at Dec 23, 9:30 PM EST, 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 23, 9:30 PM EST, 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 930 PM EST WED DEC 23 2015 .SYNOPSIS...A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY... THEN STALL OVER THE REGION THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THE FRONT WILL MOVE BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW UNSEASONABLY WARM AND MOIST CONDITIONS WITH A SOUTHERLY FLOW THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES THIS WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 930 PM WEDNESDAY... ...FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES ACROSS THE WESTERN PIEDMONT... THE NEGATIVELY TILTED MID/UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO PRESS NORTHEAST OVER THE MIDWEST TO THE GREAT LAKES TONIGHT. THE PARENT SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK WELL TO OUR NORTHWEST (IA-WI)... BUT THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT FROM TENNESSEE. A LINGERING BUT WEAKENING CAD WEDGE BOUNDARY REMAINED OVER THE FAR NW PIEDMONT/NORTHERN FOOTHILLS WHERE TEMPS WERE IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. TO THE EAST. TEMPERATURES WERE WELL INTO THE 60S WITH EVEN 70S IN THE EAST BEFORE THE INITIAL CONVECTIVE LINE MOVED THROUGH EARLIER THIS EVENING MAKING IT MORE STABLE IN THE EAST. THE MAIN THREAT OF SEVERE WILL REMAIN ALONG AND WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS IN TN/AL... HOWEVER... OUR EARLIER THREAT WITH A SLIGHT RISK IN EFFECT THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HAS LESSENED. GIVEN THE FRONT TO THE WEST WILL SLOW DOWN AND STALL NEAR THE MOUNTAINS... THE AIR MASS IN OUR AREA WILL CONTINUE TO STABILIZE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE INITIAL CONVECTION... AND WITH THE LONG NIGHTTIME STABILIZATION... WILL ALLOW THE NEXT COUPLE OF ROUNDS OF LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING SHORT WAVES IN THE SW FLOW ALOFT TO COME WITH A LESS OF A WIND THREAT. AGAIN... INSTABILITY HAS BEEN NEARLY ELIMINATED AND THE SHEAR WILL LESSEN OVERNIGHT ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHEAST. THEREFORE... A COUPLE MORE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE NE ACROSS OUR REGION OVERNIGHT... WITH RAINFALL BEING THE MAIN THREAT. SOME OF THE RAINFALL IS STILL EXPECTED TO BE LOCALLY HEAVY WITH THE HEAVIEST RAIN EXPECTED IN OUR WESTERN AREAS CURRENTLY UNDER THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. QPF OF 0.25 TO 0.50 ADDITIONALLY IS FORECAST EAST... WITH 0.50 TO 1 INCH IN THE WEST. LOCALLY 1.5 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG/NEAR THE YADKIN RIVER. THIS MAY BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SOME LOCAL FLASH FLOODING IN THE WATCH AREA. CATEGORICAL POP OVERNIGHT FOR SHOWERS/ISO THUNDERSTORMS. LOWS HOLDING NEARLY STEADY IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S. SEVERAL RIVERS CONTINUE TO BE IN MINOR FLOOD... AND THE RIVER STATEMENTS/WARNINGS WILL BE UPDATED THROUGH THE LATE EVENING. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 245 PM WEDNESDAY... THE ANOMALOUS RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL BUILD AGAIN ON THURSDAY....WITH RECORD WARMTH EXPECTED WITH A CONTINUED MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW. A COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE VICINITY OF THE MOUNTAINS SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A CONVECTIVE LINE THAT IS FORECAST TO MOSTLY DISSIPATE AS IT RUNS INTO AN INCREASINGLY WARMER AIRMASS ALOFT. SCATTERED SHOWER OR AN ISOLATES STORMS IS ALSO POSSIBLE ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND COASTAL PLAIN. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM 73-80 NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. LOWS CHRISTMAS EVE WILL BE IN THE MID 60S. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 300 PM WEDNESDAY... FRI-SUN NIGHT: A POTENT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ATTENDANT SFC CYCLONE WILL RAPIDLY PROGRESS NORTHEAST THROUGH THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES INTO CANADA TONIGHT/THURSDAY. AS THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT(APPROACHING THE APPALACHIANS FROM THE WEST TONIGHT) BECOMES INCREASINGLY SEPARATED FROM THE PARENT WAVE/LOW...THE FRONT WILL RAPIDLY WEAKEN...SLOW DOWN AND ASSUME A MORE WSW-ENE ORIENTATION OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS AND MID-ATLANTIC THU/THU NIGHT. THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE FRONT WILL STALL NORTH OF CENTRAL NC IN A WEST-EAST ORIENTATION OVER THE VIRGINIAS ON FRI/FRI NIGHT...THEN LIFT NORTHWARD THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC INTO NEW ENGLAND AS A WARM FRONT OVER THE WEEKEND IN RESPONSE TO A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DIGGING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A POTENT UPPER LEVEL LOW EXPECTED TO TRACK SLOWLY EAST FROM THE DESERT SW INTO TEXAS. CONSEQUENTLY...AN UNSEASONABLY WARM/MOIST AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER CENTRAL NC. HOWEVER...WITH FORCING CONFINED TO SMALL AMPLITUDE WAVES EMBEDDED WITHIN UNIDIRECTIONAL (SW) FLOW ALOFT...IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN ISOLD/SCT DIURNAL SHOWERS TO DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON. MON-WED: UNCERTAINTY INCREASES DRAMATICALLY IN THIS PERIOD DUE TO AVERY ACTIVE/COMPLEX SYNOPTIC PATTERN IN PLACE OVER NORTH AMERICA. AS A RESULT...FORECAST SPECIFICS (TEMPERATURES AND PRECIP CHANCES/ TIMING) ARE DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE AT THIS TIME.BROADLY SPEAKING...PRECIPITATION WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH DAY... WITH TEMPERATURES INITIALLY ABOVE NORMAL THOUGH POSSIBLY DECREASING TO NEAR NORMAL BY TUE-WED. -VINCENT && .AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 800 PM WEDNESDAY... MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT IN THE EAST... WITH LOWER CIGS (IFR TO LIFR)IN THE WEST. PERIODS OF RAIN WILL REDUCE VSBYS MOSTLY INTO THE MVFR RANGE... WITH FOG COMBINING WITH THE PERIODS OF RAIN TO REDUCE VSBYS INTO THE LIFR RANGE IN THE AREAS AROUND KINT/KGSO. SW WINDS AROUND 10KT EXPECTED. SHOWERS WILL GENERALLY LESSEN IN COVERAGE OVERNIGHT...WITH CEILINGS LIKELY TO LOWER TO IFR OR LIFR AGAIN IN THE EAST. VSBYS SHOULD REMAIN MVFR TO VFR IN THE EAST. SOME SMALL IMPROVEMENTS WILL OCCUR ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST ON THURSDAY AS CIGS SHOULD BECOME MVFR AND VSBYS VFR. THERE WILL BE A CONTINUED CHANCE OF SHOWERS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY EVENING. OUTLOOK...WITH DEEP AND MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW CONTINUING FRIDAY THROUGH THE THIS WEEKEND... PERIODS OF POOR AVIATION CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST...ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT WITH AREAS OF FOG. && .CLIMATE... HERE ARE THE AREA RECORD MAXIMUMS AND HIGH MINIMUMS FOR DECEMBER 24TH AND 25TH.
