Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 2 storm reports to this flash flood warning; the first came 67 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.

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 17, 2:50 PM EDT, 4 hours 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 17, 2:50 PM EDT, 4 hours 18 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
250 PM EDT Mon Sep 17 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
The center of Tropical Depression Florence will move northeast
across Pennsylvania this afternoon and off the Northeast coast by
Tuesday.  A trailing surface front will extend down through the
Appalachians through this evening, before pushing eastward across
the Carolinas tonight through Tuesday night. Drier air and warm
weather will follow for Wednesday into Friday as high pressure
builds over the area.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 130 PM Monday...

As the center of Florence tracks through far southern OH into PA
this afternoon, a band of DPVA extending to its ESE will track
northward, bringing an end to the widespread heavy tropical rainfall
over central NC. A significant dry slot will punch in from the WSW
and shunt the highest PW to the E, as mid level winds veer around to
SSW. But low level flow will continue out of the SSE with steady
moisture transport, so will maintain high chance pops, especially N,
through the afternoon. Models depict high MUCAPE peaking at 2000-
3000 J/kg this afternoon (although this may be muted by subtle late-
day warming 700-600 mb), along with 25-30 kts of deep layer shear,
and a few strong to severe storms are not out of the question today,
with the greatest risk over the west half of the CWA, where the HREF
depicts a resurgence of decent updraft helicity maxima this
afternoon. Scattered convection is expected to spread east into the
E CWA this evening/tonight, and will retain chance pops in the east
through the night ahead of the front.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 250 PM Monday...

As the remnant Florence low heads into the Northeast, trailing
positively tilted mid level and surface troughs will cross central
NC. Scattered storms should develop once again, this time restricted
to eastern sections within marginal to moderate instability. Western
sections will become much more stable as winds aloft swing around to
westerly, and overall deep layer shear will lessen, which will limit
storm intensity in the afternoon. Much drier air will advect in Tue
evening behind the trough, leading to clearing skies.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 100 AM Monday...

Much drier weather is expected Wednesday through Saturday. The next
chance of afternoon thunderstorms has been delayed until Sunday
(mainly in the NW-N zones). So, a much needed period to dry and
clean up. High pressure will be over the region Wednesday into
Friday and Saturday, then shift offshore Saturday night. Mostly
clear/mostly sunny weather is expected. By Sunday, a cold front is
expected to approach from the north bringing a chance of showers and
thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon. Lows in the 60s will be
common through Saturday, with 65-70 Sunday. Highs generally in the
80s (82-88).

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 130 PM Monday...

24 Hour TAF period: Ceilings are trending toward VFR. Scattered
storms will develop and move east across the area later this
afternoon into early evening. Later tonight, VFR conditions will
extend through daybreak Tue morning over FAY, but elsewhere, IFR
cigs are expected to develop, with MVFR vsbys.

Looking beyond 18z Tue: A trough will sweep through the area during
the day, bringing a return to VFR conditions, with only a few storms
expected at RDU/RWI/FAY in the afternoon. VFR conditions will
dominate Wednesday through Sunday with high pressure over the
Southeast.

.RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

At 529 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a line of strong
thunderstorms along a line extending from 10 miles east of Southern
Pines to 9 miles north of Laurinburg to Cheraw State Park. Movement
was northeast at 20 mph.

Wind gusts up to 45 mph will be possible with these storms.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Seek shelter in a nearby building or vehicle. Wind gusts as high as
45 mph are capable of knocking down small or weakened trees and
blowing around trash cans, potted plants, lawn furniture and other
light outdoor objects.

Locally heavy rain will quickly reduce visibility and result in
ponding of water on roadways, standing water in low lying areas, and
minor flooding of creeks, streams, and areas of poor drainage.
Drivers are urged to slow down and use extra caution to avoid
hydroplaning, especially in urban areas where prolonged heavy rain
can quickly lead to flooding.
