Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 2 storm reports to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 34 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

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 Wilmington, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 19, 7:26 PM EDT, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 19, 7:26 PM EDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
726 PM EDT TUE JUL 19 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Potential for thunderstorms will exist in a hot and humid
summertime air mass ahead of cold front. This cold front will
drop across the area late Wednesday, bringing drier weather to
follow. Temperatures will surge back above normal for the
weekend, with the possibility of showers and thunderstorms
increasing early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 645 PM Tuesday...One big cluster of strong convection
covers much of Brunswick County and will be keeping a close eye on
the evolution of this system. Otherwise we are seeing a rather
marked decrease in the action with the setting sun. Have updated
forecast accordingly to give us slight chance pops until midnight
for most places, with a more gradual decrease in pops for
Brunswick County. Relevant portion of previous discussion from
earlier this afternoon follows:

The latest models continue to show main focus of convection along
sea breeze and related to a couple of shortwaves moving through
from the NW. The upper trough axis will remain just off the east
coast but the few shortwaves riding down in the northwest flow
will help to trigger storms through tonight. The first shortwave
helped to initiate convection over northern Bladen and Pender
counties this morning. The steering flow was driving the storms
due east. The best shortwave energy will move through North
Carolina, especially just north of local forecast area, but it
will extend farther south. It will move through this afternoon in
time to combine with moderate instability and the sea breeze front
to help enhance localized convection. Sfc based CAPE values remain
up close to 4000 j/kg with pcp water values over 2 inches, temps
around 90 and dewpoint temps into the 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM Tuesday...Main 500 mb trough will be aligned down
the east coast into the Carolinas with trough axis along or just
east of the coast. A shortwave moving just off the coast early Wed
and any associated convection will be followed by drier air and
subsidence aloft. This will leave local area in deep NW-N flow
which will help to push a cold front south. The front will still
be north of the area to start the day but winds will be veering
around to the west ahead of it producing drier downslope air.
Lingering moisture along the coast with pcp water values up to 1.8
inches could help trigger some convection earlier in the day, but
drier air will continue to make its way in, especially aloft. This
should limit overall instability, but localized forcing along sea
breeze and front as it drops south may trigger a few storms with
greater potential to drive down gusty winds, especially in
northeast SC where best instability should remain. By mid aftn pcp
water values will be around 1.5 inches as front continues to drop
south and reaches into our area from the north.

A deep northerly flow will push the front south of area by late
Wed evening leaving a relatively drier air mass in place for
Thurs. GFS shows dewpoints dropping down into the mid 60s across a
good portion of the area. This will allow overnight temps Thurs
night to drop down into the 60s over many spots. Temps will see a
a couple of degree drop also as 850 temps show a drop from 19c
Tues down to 16c on Thurs aftn.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 300 PM Tuesday...The extended forecast requires little in
the way of changes as the theme will be mid level ridging along
with the heat, at least for the first half.

A broad west to east oriented ridge will build in mostly early in
the period with rather dry mid levels as PWs are less than 1.5
inches. This should keep pops to a minimum both Friday and Saturday.
As the moisture increases, approaching two inches (PW) Sunday, pops
come back into play. It appears there is more of a diurnal signal
with convection and this is probably indicative of remnant MCSs
and the associated outflow boundaries. The moisture in the column
kinda vacillates back and forth from Sunday onward. Overall the
forecast for Sunday through Tuesday will probably resemble that of
a couple of weeks ago, very hot, possible afternoon and
evening/overnight thunderstorms with a slight albeit temporary
seemingly refreshing airmass in its wake. Heat advisories look
like a given Friday and Saturday with more uncertainty Sunday
through Tuesday.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 00Z...Terminals are VFR this evening. Isolated thunderstorms
are occurring N of KLBT, between KILM and KCRE extending NW to SE
of KLBT, and W of KMYR/KCRE. Best confidence of thunderstorms
this evening will be at all terminals except KILM. Generally TEMPO
MVFR expected but brief bouts of IFR are possible, lasting less
than a half hour or so. Thunderstorms should dissipate later this
evening, but convection could continue overnight and move S
towards KLBT/KILM in the pre-dawn hours as a front drops S.
Wednesday other than low confidence MVFR cigs in the AM at
KLBT/KILM, VFR expected with the best chance of shower and
thunderstorms at the SC terminals.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...predominantly VFR outside of scattered showers
and thunderstorms.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 645 PM...Latest obs show SW 10 to 15 kts with seas of around
2 ft. Forecast on track with no changes expected for the overnight
period. Previous discussion follows:

Southerly flow will continue on the western periphery of Bermuda
High with very manageable seas of 3 ft or less. A small ESE
ground swell will continue to mix in. Overall expect rather
tranquil wind and seas to continue but a W-NW steering flow will
help guide some stronger thunderstorms over the waters through
tonight. The winds will generally remain 10 to 15 kts but you can
expect a slight spike in winds this afternoon between Piedmont
trough and Bermuda High and some higher gusts possible in stronger
storms.

SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM Tuesday...A cold front dropping down from the north
should push across and south of the local waters Wednesday
afternoon and evening. Expect S-SW flow ahead of the front but
winds will veer around to the W-NW and eventually N as front drops
south by late evening. Thunderstorms will still be a threat on Wed
but by Thurs, drier air should make its way in with showers and
thunderstorms becoming more isolated. A brief 15 kt surge is
possible behind cold front Wed night into early Thurs with seas
up to 3 ft but overall expect winds less than 15 kts and seas
3 ft or less. A persistent small ground swell up to 9 seconds
will continue to mix in.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 300 PM Tuesday...Bermuda high pressure will dominate the
waters as would be expected this time of the year. Really the
standard stuff, south to southwest winds of 10-15 knots with seas
of 2-4 feet.
