What forecasters said that day

NWS Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Feb 16, 6:00 AM EST, 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 16, 6:00 AM EST, 21 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
600 AM EST WED FEB 16 2016

.SYNOPSIS...COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO NORTH CAROLINA FROM
THE NORTH TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY. A WEEKEND WARM-UP WILL BE REPLACED
BY ANOTHER CHANGE TO COLDER AND WETTER WEATHER NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY AND TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1245 AM WEDNESDAY...

A POTENT SHORTWAVE TRACKING RAPIDLY EAST ACROSS THE REGION EARLY
THIS MORNING WILL RESULT IN A POTENTIAL FOR SPOTTY LIGHT RAIN
THROUGH 12Z...PRIMARILY IN THE NE COASTAL PLAIN. WITH FORCING
LARGELY CONFINED TO THE UPPER LEVELS (STRONG DPVA) AND LITTLE IN THE
WAY OF LOW-LEVEL FORCING (AS EVIDENCED BY CEILINGS IN THE 5-12 KFT
RANGE)...EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO BE LIGHT/SPOTTY IN NATURE. VFR
CEILINGS 5-12 KFT WILL DISSIPATE BY 12-15Z IN THE WAKE OF THE
SHORTWAVE...WITH CLEAR SKIES AND A NW/NNW WIND AT 10-15 KT DURING
THE AFTERNOON...DECREASING TO ~5 KT OR LESS AFTER SUNSET. HIGHS IN
THE 50S MOST LOCATIONS...LOWS IN THE LOWER 30S. -VINCENT

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM WEDNESDAY...

CHILLY HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND OVER THE REGION FROM THE NORTH THURSDAY
AND THURSDAY NIGHT. MOSTLY SUNNY/MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES BELOW THE 30 YEAR AVERAGES. HIGHS
ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE UPPER 40S NORTH TO MID 50S SOUTH. LOWS IN THE
25-30 RANGE AGAIN FRIDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 319 AM WEDNESDAY...

...A WEEKEND WARM UP... BUT ANOTHER CHANGE TO CHILLY AND WET WEATHER
EXPECTED NEXT WEEK...

THE STRONG SURFACE HIGH WILL SHIFT OFFSHORE FRIDAY ALLOWING A RETURN FLOW
FROM THE SOUTHWEST-WEST ACROSS NC. PARTLY SUNNY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES
ARE EXPECTED IN THE DRY FLOW WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES. HIGHS GENERALLY
IN THE MID 50S EXPECTED. FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL BE WARMER
EVEN AT NIGHT WITH THE DEEP SW-W FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE OUT IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND A COLD FRONT WELL TO OUR NW.
SOME INCREASE IN CLOUDINESS... IN PARTICULAR MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL OCCUR
BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND. OTHERWISE... EXPECT HIGHS IN THE 60S BOTH SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY. LOWS GENERALLY IN THE 40S OVER THE WEEKEND INTO MONDAY.

FOR MONDAY INTO TUESDAY... ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT PATTERN CHANGE TO A DEEPENING
TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN STATES AND A LARGE POTENT RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN
STATES MEANS MORE WET AND POSSIBLY COLD WEATHER NEXT WEEK.. BEGINNING WITH
A BACKDOOR FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY BRINGING FRESH CHILLY AIR DOWN
THE EASTERN SEABOARD. THIS OCCURS AND LOW PRESSURE WAVES ARE EXPECTED
TO AFFECT THE GULF COAST TO SE STATES.

SEVERAL THINGS TO WATCH NEXT WEEK... HOW STRONG OF A PUSH OF COLD AIR WILL
REACH DOWN INTO NC/SC NEXT WEEK COURTESY OF THE STRONG POLAR HIGH PRESSURE
THAT IS FORECAST TO BUILD INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES...
THEN POSSIBLY NEW ENGLAND BY MID-WEEK? IF THE HIGH PRESSURE CAN BUILD DOWN
THE EASTERN SEABOARD AS IN THE LATE JANUARY AND RECENT FEBRUARY STORMS... THEN
OUR CHANCE OF SIGNIFICANT WINTRY WEATHER WILL INCREASE (IF THE PATTERN TURNS
WET COURTESY OF ONE OR TWO WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE - POSSIBLY EVEN ANOTHER COASTAL
STORM) AS THE OPERATIONAL MODELS ARE SUGGESTING.

FOR NOW... WE WILL HAVE THE CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE FORECAST MON-TUE... AND TREND
TEMPS COLDER. LOWS IN THE 30S AND HIGHS IN THE 40S BY TUESDAY. THIS PATTERN CHANGE
BEARS WATCHING AS OUR WILD FLIP-FLOP IN WEEKLY WEATHER CONTINUES.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 600 AM WEDNESDAY...

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD WITH A WNW
WIND AT 10-15 KT DECREASING TO ~5 KT OR LESS AFTER SUNSET.

LOOKING AHEAD: VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE REST OF THE
WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. -VINCENT
