The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jun 30, 3:05 PM EDT, 5 hours 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 3:05 PM EDT, 5 hours 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Raleigh NC 305 PM EDT THU JUN 30 2016 .SYNOPSIS... A moist and unstable air mass, combined with a stalled surface front, will persist across the region through the Fourth of July, resulting in scattered showers and thunderstorms, primarily during the afternoon and evening hours. && .NEAR TERM /through tonight/... As of 305 PM Thursday... Latest surface map shows a couple of weak frontal zones, one across the SE CWA (signified by a pressure weakness and wind shift) with another just to the north and west of the area (denoted by a diffuse dewpoint discontinuity). Convective initiation is finally underway over central NC, having been hindered earlier by a weak cap aloft and lingering CINH, especially over the NW CWA where stubborn morning stratus limited insolation and subsequent destabilization. PW progs from this morning were also a bit too ambitious, showing values rising to 125-150% of normal when in fact the observed PW (according to blended TPW imagery) is near or just slightly above normal this afternoon, and this may have also helped to delay convection. MLCAPE has grown to 1000-1500 J/kg with effective bulk shear having risen to 30-35 kts, both highest east of Highway 1, and while mid level lapse rates remain marginal at 5.5 C/km, the low level lapse rates are 7-8 C/km in the east and rising / spreading westward with the diminishing stratocu. So we should see convection growing in spatial extent over the next few hours, focused mainly across the southern/SE CWA and in the western Piedmont, with upper divergence in the right exit region of a southwesterly jet extending from the mid-Atlantic offshore perhaps adding broad forcing for ascent to augment thermodynamic lift. Will maintain a 30-50% coverage for now and monitor the evolution of storm coverage. A few strong to severe storms remain possible, given downdraft CAPE already at 800-1100 J/kg, with rising CAPE in the -10C to -30C layer to 200-400 J/kg so far, and we've already seen a splitting supercell over western SC. Coverage and intensity should gradually decrease late tonight with reduced deep layer shear and loss of heating, although scattered showers and isolated storms should persist overnight given the moist column and persistent elevated instability. Lows tonight upper 60s to lower 70s. -GIH && .SHORT TERM /Friday and Friday night/... As of 230 PM Thursday... The weakening surface frontal zone is likely to be situated just to our NW Fri, with the column remaining rather moist over the SE CWA. Strong shortwave energy swinging through the Great Lakes will bring the axis of the longwave trough eastward through the mid-Atlantic region and into the Northeast states by Fri evening, with a slightly lagging surface cold front moving to the Appalachians Fri night. PW will remain elevated east of Highway 1 but not excessively so, while western sections will see PW values near or just slightly above normal. Only eastern sections are apt to see notable mid level DPVA (and even this will be weak), and the significant height falls and mid level lapse rates should brush by to our north. These factors should limit the coverage and strength of convection over the northwest half of the CWA Fri into Fri evening. Models depict moderate instability in the east half in the afternoon, reaching 1500-2000 J/kg of MUCAPE, along with marginal but improving deep layer shear to around 25-30 kts, so a few strong storms are possible in the Coastal Plain, with sounding analogs suggesting that large hail and perhaps a weak tornado or two are possible. Thicknesses will be near normal so expect highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Expect decreasing precip coverage by midnight with little to no shower chances overnight with the loss of heating and resulting stabilization and drier mid level air moving in from the west. Lows 68 to 73 under partly cloudy skies. -GIH && .LONG TERM /Saturday through Thursday/... As of 130 PM Thursday... A very unsettled pattern for the long term as a cold front will stall out over North Carolina this weekend and into next week. While the front may initially make it through the area, it appears it will creep back to the north for the weekend and keep us in the warmer airmass. Early in the day Saturday may be fairly dry but by afternoon the boundary will become active and convection will bring showers and thunderstorms to the area. Models are in fairly good agreement about keeping the stalled front in place for several days as several short wave impulses move along the front, providing extra forcing, particularly in the afternoons and early evenings when diurnal heating and instability are maximized. This means that there will be continued rain chances through the holiday weekend with some strong to severe storms possible, particularly Sunday and Monday afternoons when surface based CAPE values begin to approach 1500- 2000 J/kg and bulk shear values rise above 30 kts. In addition PW values at or above 2 inches for much of the time period and the possibility of training storms in the stacked westerly flow will present and increasing heavy rain and flooding threat as time goes on. At this time WPC is indicating 7 day total precipitation values of 2-3 inches across the area. That being said, with the precipitation convective in nature it is important to note that not everyone will see that much rain, but some could actually see more if showers and thunderstorms continue to train over a specific location. Highs during this period mainly in the mid 80s to near 90 degrees, although Sunday could be a couple degrees cooler. Models diverge on the handling of a low pressure system coming out of the Mississippi Valley on Monday night into Tuesday but the ECMWF has been far more consistent on keep the low subdued as it moves quickly through VA on Tuesday. The GFS is still producing a deep stronger low that causes a mid level trough to form and thus slows down the steering flow considerably. Compared to last run, the GFS is weakening this feature by 5 mb and appears to be backing off this scenario a little bit. Therefore will continue on with the ECMWF solution. In either scenario the upshot is the same. Diurnal thunderstorms continuing through the end of the forecast period. Temperatures in the upper 80s to low to mid 90s. && .AVIATION /12Z Thursday through Monday/... As of 1255 PM Thursday... MVFR to IFR cigs persist at INT/GSO, with VFR conditions elsewhere. INT/GSO will see a transition to MVFR at both sites by 19z, and VFR cigs are expected there by 21z. Otherwise, VFR conditions will hold through the evening, although the development of scattered storms this afternoon lasting through the evening could bring a period of MVFR or IFR conditions lasting a couple of hours. A frontal zone currently stretching SW to NE across NC will waver a bit back and forth today before shifting just NW of the area tonight, ensuring a warm and moist air mass over central NC which will facilitate scattered showers and storms. FAY/INT/GSO should be the first to be affected by storms during the mid and late afternoon, followed by RDU/RWI into the evening. Strong gusty and erratic winds can be expected in and near storms, with a period of MVFR or IFR conditions. Numerous mid and high clouds leftover from storm clusters are anticipated later tonight, with a chance of MVFR cigs and MVFR vsbys in fog late tonight (08z-13z) at all locations. Looking beyond 18z Fri, VFR conditions will rule much of the time, however there will be a daily risk of scattered storms across all of central NC, focused from mid afternoon until around midnight, as another front approaches from the northwest and stalls out just to our northwest. Sub-VFR conditions will be possible in and near any such storms. Rain chances will be greater toward the end of the period (Mon through Tue) as an upper level disturbance approaches from the west. Late-night/early-morning IFR/LIFR stratus and fog are possible both mornings as well. -GIH && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
