What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Sep 15, 12:50 PM EDT, 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 15, 12:50 PM EDT, 22 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
1250 PM EDT Sat Sep 15 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
The center of Tropical Storm Florence will move very slowly west
across South Carolina this afternoon. It will weaken to a tropical
depression as it moves northwest into the southern Appalachians on
Sunday and Monday, before turning east and moving off the mid-
Atlantic coast on Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1250 PM Saturday...

Latest forecast remains on track as Florence drifts across SC, with
broad bands of very heavy rain spreading onshore and across all but
far N portions of central NC. One band in particular is depicted by
the majority of CAMs focusing very moisture-laden air and extremely
heavy rainfall over our southeast and south-central sections, NNE
and NE of the center, over the next 12-18 hours. Will maintain a
flash flood watch for all but the far N, where totals will be lower.
Additional amounts of 5-15" are expected across the southern half of
the CWA today and tonight, highest across Cumberland and Sampson
counties, where historic flooding is possible.

Projections of the highest reasonable sustained winds based on the
official forecast show 25-35 kts across the southern half with max
gusts of 35-45 kts.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 345 AM Saturday...

The Florence wind field will continue to slowly spread out and
gradually diminish as it pushes NW into NE TN and N/NW into the Ohio
Valley through Mon as a depression or perhaps remnant low. But the
threat of flooding rains will persist, with the greatest risk
spreading from our southern sections into W NC, including the Triad,
as we head into Sun/Sun night. As Florence's center passes to our S
and W, our low level flow will veer gradually to a SE direction with
a strongly confluent and upslope Atlantic-source component. Florence
will continue to hold a lot of water with very efficient rainfall
production, tapping extremely high PW values well over 2". Upper
divergence will have weakened a bit but will linger over W NC Sun,
as spokes of vorticity rotate around the mid level low, prompting
dynamic lift. Will maintain high pops focused on the SW then W
sections through Sun, then will decrease them slightly but keep
likely to categorical pops across the NW third of the CWA Sun night
and Mon, as we continue to tap Atlantic moisture with mid level
troughing just to our W and continued strong and confluent southerly
850 mb flow. The flash flood watch will be extended over far W and
NW sections through Sun night.

Highs in the mid 70s to lower 80s Sun, and 80-87 Mon. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 100 AM Saturday...

The remnant circulation of Florence is expected to lift northeast
through the northeastern United States Monday night and Tuesday. The
trailing surface trough will keep a lingering likelihood of showers
and thunderstorms through Tuesday afternoon and evening. Very warm
and humid conditions will also linger through Wednesday, even though
the surface trough will move offshore, bringing drier weather and
mostly sunny skies Wednesday. Less humid air will filter into the
region Thursday. Lows will be in the 70s Tuesday, dropping off into
the 60s Thursday and Friday (near normal). Highs will still be in
the 80s (near 90 SE).

The next chance of showers and thunderstorms may come late Friday as
a mid/upper trough and cold front approach from the NW late.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 1250 PM Saturday...

24 Hour TAF period: Southern areas will experience the worst of the
conditions being closest to the center of the storm. All other areas
will experience breezy conditions with generally 15 to 20 kts
sustained gusting to 30 kts. Expect periods of LLWS of up to 65 kts
at 2000 ft sporadically through the TAF period. Heavy showers can be
expected with isolated thunderstorms in the heaviest rainbands.
Ceilings will likely reside in the MVFR/IFR for much of the period
with visibilities occasionally dipping into IFR levels in the
heaviest showers.

Long Term: The effects of Florence will continue to be felt on
Sunday and possibly into early next week in western sections. The
remnants of Florence will come back through the area as a cold front
on Tuesday and it looks like VFR conditions will return for
Wednesday and Thursday.
