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 20, 7:42 PM EDT, 1 hour 4 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 7:42 PM EDT, 1 hour 4 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
742 PM EDT SAT JUN 20 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A PERSISTENT UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
U.S. WILL BE INTERRUPTED BRIEFLY BY THE PASSAGE OF THE REMNANTS OF
TROPICAL CYCLONE BILL THROUGH TONIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 350 PM EDT SATURDAY...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #318 IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM EDT

THE REMNANT LOW-MID LEVEL CIRCULATION OF BILL --INCLUDING A 1005 MB
SFC LOW OVER SOUTHERN OH AND PRECEDED BY A WARM FRONT ANALYZED EAST
OF THE SFC LOW ACROSS NORTHERN WV AND VA AND A PAIR OF
CONFLUENCE/TROUGH AXES ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN CAROLINAS--
WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS THIS AFTERNOON AND
TO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST BY SUN MORNING.

STRONG DIABATIC HEATING HAS ALREADY RESULTED IN MODERATE
DESTABILIZATION IN AN AREA OF RELATIVELY CLOUD-FREE SKIES DOWNSTREAM
ACROSS VA AND THE CAROLINAS...AND FURTHER HEATING OF THE BOUNDARY
LAYER WELL INTO THE 90S WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERATE-
STRONG INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON.

MEANWHILE...THE APPROACH OF THE REMNANT CIRCULATION OF BILL WILL
PROVIDE FOR BOTH A CORRIDOR OF FOCUSED FORCING FOR ASCENT AND A
STRENGTHENING OF THE LOW-MID LEVEL FLOW OVER NC...MAXIMIZED LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE EVENING.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE APT TO DEVELOP WITHIN A
DEVELOPING/DEEPENING CU FIELD OVER THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN
CAROLINAS...ALONG THE AFOREMENTIONED PAIR OF CONFLUENCE/TROUGH AXES
OVER THE CAROLINAS. ANY SUCH ACTIVITY WILL POSE PRIMARILY A RISK OF
DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL FROM ASSOCIATED MULTICELL AND PERHAPS BRIEF
SUPERCELLULAR STORM MODES...PARTICULARLY OVER THE WESTERN AND
NORTHERN PIEDMONT WHERE THE STRENGTH OF THE LOW-MID LEVEL
FLOW...FOCUSED IN THE LOWEST 3 KM AND CHARACTERIZED BY MOSTLY
UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR...WILL BE RELATIVELY MAXIMIZED. HOWEVER...AS
THE CIRCULATION OF BILL EMERGES EAST OF THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS
CONCURRENTLY WITH NOCTURNAL LLJ AUGMENTATION AROUND SUNSET...AN
ACCELERATION OF THE 925 MB FLOW TO BETWEEN 30-50 KTS AND ASSOCIATED
INCREASED SRH INTO THE 150-300 M2/S2 RANGE --STRONGEST FROM EASTERN
VA TO NE NC-- WILL PRODUCE A MORE FAVORABLY-SHEARED ENVIRONMENT...
INCLUDING MORE-CYCLONICALLY-CURVED FORECAST HODOGRAPHS...FOR
SUPERCELLS AND LOWER LEVEL STORM ROTATION. AN ACCOMPANYING ENHANCED
RISK OF ALL SEVERE HAZARDS...INCLUDING A COUPLE OF TORNADOES...WILL
RESULT...WITH THE RELATIVE GREATEST THREAT FROM THE TRIANGLE
NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS EASTERN VA AND THE DELMARVA BETWEEN 22-06Z.

BANDS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL MOVE EAST AND/OR GRADUALLY DIMINISH
AS THEY TRACK ACROSS THE NC NE PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN
THROUGH AROUND 06Z OR SO...WITH DRYING/CLEARING EXPECTED TO SPREAD
WEST TO EAST BEHIND THE DEPARTING REMNANTS OF BILL/TROUGH AXIS ALOFT
LATE TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY SUN. SINCE THERE WILL BE NO REAL CHANGE
IN AIR MASS GIVEN THE LACK OF A TRAILING COLD FRONT FROM THE
REMNANTS OF BILL...PERSISTENCE LOWS GENERALLY BETWEEN 70-75 DEGREES
ARE ANTICIPATED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 410 PM EDT SATURDAY...

THE PERSISTENT SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE ALONG THE SOUTHEASTERN US COAST IN
RECENT DAYS WILL RETROGRADE INTO THE INTERIOR SOUTHEAST AND RE-
ESTABLISH INFLUENCE INTO THE CAROLINAS/SOUTHERN MID-ATLANTIC STATES
IN THE WAKE OF THE REMNANTS OF BILL. HOT TEMPERATURES WILL
CONSEQUENTLY CONTINUE OVER CENTRAL NC...WITH HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE
MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S. A MODIFIED EML AND ASSOCIATED STEEP MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ~7.5 C/KM WILL BE DIRECTED EAST ACROSS THE TN VALLEY AND
CENTRAL APPALACHIANS BY SUN AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH FORECAST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE THE EML SHOULD LARGELY CAP THE ENVIRONMENT TO DEEP
CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL NC...THE STEEP LAPSE RATES ALOFT WOULD
SUPPORT EXPLOSIVE THUNDERSTORM GROWTH WHERE/IF THE CAP CAN BE
BROKEN...WITH THE RELATIVE BEST CHANCE OF THAT BEING OVER THE
NORTHERN PIEDMONT DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON-EVENING OWING TO THE
PROBABLE APPROACH OF UPSTREAM STORMS FROM THE HIGHER TERRAIN OVER
THE VIRGINIAS. PERSISTENCE LOWS AGAIN MOSTLY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 315 PM SATURDAY...

AFTER A BRIEF BREAK IN THE PERSISTENT MID LEVEL RIDGING THIS
WEEKEND...RIDGING WILL ONCE AGAIN EXPAND EASTWARD ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST US THROUGH EARLY/MID NEXT WEEK. GIVEN THIS FEATURE AND THE
FACT THAT THE MAIN BAND OF WESTERLIES WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE
AREA...ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED MAINLY DIURNAL STORMS ARE
EXPECTED. IN ADDITION...ANOTHER ROUND OF EXCESSIVE HEAT IS EXPECTED
WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S (LIKELY NECESSITATING MORE
HEAT ADVISORIES) AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOW/MID 70S.

THE RIDGE OVER THE EAST COAST IS PROGGED TO BREAK DOWN BY THE END OF
THE WEEK AND ESPECIALLY INTO THE WEEKEND AS ANOTHER RIDGE REALLY
BEGINS TO AMPLIFY ON THE WEST COAST...THUS INDUCING TROUGHING ON THE
EAST COAST. A FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. ALL
OF THIS WILL LEAD TO INCREASING PRECIP CHANCES AND A BREAK IN THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT (ALTHOUGH TEMPS WILL STILL BE ABOVE NORMAL).

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 739 PM SATURDAY...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO CROSS THE AREA THIS
EVENING... BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF PERIODS OF SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS. OTHERWISE... VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE 24
HOUR PERIOD. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE... WITH GUSTS OF 20-30
KTS DIMINISHING OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.

OUTLOOK: MAINLY VFR...EXCEPT FOR IN MAINLY DIURNALLY-DRIVEN SHOWERS
AND STORMS AMIDST WEST TO WEST NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...SOME OF WHICH
MAY EVOLVE INTO A RELATIVELY ORGANIZED COMPLEX OF STORMS CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING STRONG-SEVERE WIND GUSTS...THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.
