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 Jun 18, 2:45 PM EDT, 1 hour 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 18, 2:45 PM EDT, 1 hour 14 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
245 PM EDT THU JUN 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS... STRONG UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST US WILL WEAKEN OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE REMNANTS OF
TROPICAL CYCLONE BILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST LATE
SATURDAY. DURING THE SAME TIME... A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL
MEANDER ACROSS THE AREA...BRINGING SMALL CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 1110 AM EDT WEDNESDAY...

LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. THE PATTERN ALOFT...
CHARACTERIZED BY STRONG SUB-TROPICAL RIDGING (324 DM AT 700 MB
CENTERED ALONG THE GA COAST) OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN US...IS
RELATIVELY UNCHANGED FROM PREVIOUS DAYS THAT HAVE SUPPORTED HEAT
OVER CENTRAL NC. A SLOW-MOVING TROPOPAUSE DISTURBANCE OVER SC PER WV
IMAGERY AND MODEL-ANALYZED UPPER LEVEL VORTICITY FIELDS WILL DRIFT
IN WEAK WESTERLY UPPER LEVEL FLOW ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE
RIDGE.

AS SUCH...NO LARGER SCALE FORCING MECHANISMS FOR STORMS SEEM TO
PRESENT OVER CENTRAL NC. INSTEAD...STORMS TODAY WILL EITHER HAVE TO
DEVELOP OUTSIDE OF...THEN PROPAGATE INTO...THE RAH CWFA...OR DEVELOP
ALONG REMNANT OUTFLOW AND/OR DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARIES DRIVEN
BY THE SWATHS OF HEAVY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT STORMS. MODEST MID FLOW
ON THE ORDER IF 25-30 KTS WAS ANALYZED AT 500 MB NEAR THE VA/NC
BORDER...WHICH WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF MULTI-CELL STORM CLUSTERS...
VERSUS PULSE-TYPE ONES TO THE SOUTH WHERE THE INFLUENCE OF THE
RIDGE/WEAKER FLOW RESIDES. WHILE SIMILAR FREEZING LEVELS TO
YESTERDAY...BETWEEN 14-14.5 K FT...WILL AGAIN SUPPORT MARGINALLY
SEVERE HAIL...DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS WILL LIKELY PROVE THE GREATER
THREAT OWING TO STRONG ALREADY-OBSERVED AND FORECAST DCAPE VALUES
BETWEEN 1000-1500 KT...IN CONJUNCTION WITH CELL/OUTFLOW MERGING IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED LOOSELY-ORGANIZED MULTI-CELL
CLUSTERS THAT WILL BE FAVORED NEAR THE VA BORDER.

OTHERWISE...WESTERLY FLOW WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A PIEDMONT TROUGH AND
DEEP MIXING THIS AFTERNOON...HIGHS IN THE 95-100 RANGE. HEAT
ADVISORY CONTINUES AS PREVIOUSLY ADJUSTED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 345 AM EDT THURSDAY...

THE PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE SHIFTS SOUTH AND EAST SLIGHTLY
DURING THIS PERIOD WHICH ALLOWS MAX TEMPERATURES TO RELAX A FEW
DEGREES AND ALLOWS AN INCREASE IN MAINLY CONVECTION. 500 MB HEIGHTS
DROP 20-30 METERS DURING THE PERIOD WHILE A WEAK COLD FRONT DROPS
INTO THE MID ATLANTIC LATE FRIDAY AS THE REMNANTS OF BILL APPROACH
THE WESTERN TN VALLEY. EXPECT SCATTERED CONVECTION TO BE ONGOING AT
THE START OF THE PERIOD WITH THE CONVECTION GRADUALLY DIMINISH
DURING THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT
WILL RANGE BETWEEN 70 AND 75. SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP IN
THE EARLY AFTERNOON ON FRIDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES INTO
THE APPALACHIANS AND THE MID ATLANTIC. CONVECTION MAY INITIALLY BE
MOST FAVORED NEAR THE VA BORDER WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION EVENTUALLY
BRAKING OUT ACROSS MOST OF CENTRAL NC. HIGHS WILL BE 3 TO 5 DEGREES
COOLER ON FRIDAY COMPARED TO THURSDAY...GENERALLY RANGING BETWEEN 90
AND 96 DEGREES WITH LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT RANGING BETWEEN 68 AND 74
DEGREES. -BLAES &&

&&

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

REMNANTS OF TC BILL WILL BE PICKED UP IN THE WESTERLIES AND SWEPT
EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN OHIO VALLEY INTO THE MID ATLANTIC NORTH OF
THE AREA. THE SOUTHERN TAIL OF THE WEAKENING SHEAR AXIS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY MORNING. NOT QUITE THE MOST FAVORABLE DIURNAL TIMING AS THE
BOUNDARY LAYER WILL STABILIZE OVERNIGHT...BUT THERE WILL BE COPIOUS
CAPE ABOVE THE INVERSION AND WOULD EXPECT A LINE OF CONVECTION TO
ACCOMPANY THE WAVE AND WILL INCREASE POPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER.
SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE WAVE WILL SUPPRESS CONVECTION ON SUNDAY. HIGHS
SATURDAY WILL BE MAINLY IN THE MID 90S...AND WHILE THERE MAY BE
LINGERING CLOUDINESS TO DECREASE RADIATION EARLY SUNDAY...SUBSIDENCE
WILL ACT AS A COUNTERBALANCE AND LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES RISE 10
METERS SUNDAY...INDICATIVE OF A 2-3 DEGREE RISE...SO WILL BUMP HIGHS
TO THE MID 90S NORTH AND UPPER 90S SOUTH.

INITIAL ZONAL FLOW MONDAY WILL TIP TO THE NORTHWEST AS AN UPPER
RIDGE AMPLIFIES IN THE MIDWEST AND MIGRATES EAST THROUGH THURSDAY.
THIS WILL UNFORTUNTATELY PROLONG THE HEAT WAVE AS LOW LEVEL
THICKNESSES BETWEEN 1430-1440 METERS AND H85 TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO HOVER AROUND 22C...INDICATIVE OF HIGHS FROM 95 TO 100
EACH DAY. LOWS WILL BE PERSISTENCE...GENERALLY IN THE 72-76 RANGE.
HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE IN FORECASTING MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE TRIGGERS IN
NORTHWEST FLOW AT THIS TIME RANGE...BUT EXPECT STRONG DIURNAL
HEATING TO FIRE CONVECTION IN THE CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED
AREAS...IN THE FAR WEST ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN...AND ALONG COASTAL
SECTIONS WITH INLAND PENETRATION OF SEABREEZE.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM THURSDAY...

CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON INTO
EARLY TONIGHT. ONGOING CONVECTION FIRING IN THE NORTHWEST WILL DRIFT
INTO THE TRIAD BY 19Z. MEANWHILE...MORE WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION
IS EXPECTED EAST OF THE TRIAD......WITH ONE CELL ALREADY DEVELOPING
JUST WEST OF FAYETTEVILLE. CONFIDENCE IN TIMING AND LOCATION IS TOO
LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE EASTERN TAFS AT THIS POINT...BUT WILL BE
LARGELY CONFINED TO THE USUAL 20Z-04Z DIURNAL TIME RANGE. WINDS WILL
BE LIGHT...LESS THAN 6 KNOTS...OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION AND VARIABLE IN
DIRECTION.

LOOKING BEYOND THE 24 HOUR TAF PERIOD...PERSISTENT HIGH PRESSURE
WILL GENERALLY CONTROL THE WEATHER INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH HOT
CONDITIONS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE
PERIOD WITH A THREAT OF SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION.
