What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood watch 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 watch went out at Jul 23, 2:45 AM EDT, 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 2:45 AM EDT, 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Raleigh NC 245 AM EDT Mon Jul 23 2018 .SYNOPSIS... An upper level low pressure across the Ohio Valley will move slowly south across the southern Appalachians into the middle of the work week. A deep, moist, southerly flow will extend across the Carolinas through much of the work week, then lift out to the NE and weaken Thursday. && .NEAR TERM /TODAY/... As of 245 AM Monday... In the very short term this morning, flash flood threat developing near the low level circulation and stalled front, outflow boundaries extending from near Fayetteville to just south of RDU, to Roanoke Rapids. In addition, severe thunderstorms have punched the Coastal Plain in the past few hours in an organized fashion. There continued to be an area in concern through the early morning hours of flooding in the FAY to RDU areas, given recent rains and current instability axis/convective development. Even when this round of convective wanes in the next few hours, additional storms with very heavy rain expected again this afternoon and evening. We are currently collaborating a broad brushed Flash Flood Watch for all of the area from today through Tuesday night. Several vorticity maximums will continue to rotate around the expansive mid/upper trough across our region today through Tuesday night. Deep moisture will continue to be transported north and when combined with the low level boundaries and outflows at times, the moist confluent flow will allow for large clusters and training bands of showers and thunderstorms to develop and move over the area. While the urban areas are more at risk of training heavy rains, even the rural areas Flash Flood Guidance is lowering with each heavy rain episode and becoming more vulnerable to flash flooding. While the most intense convection and highest rainfall rates should be during the afternoon and evening hours Monday and Tuesday, even nighttime convection will be likely in this pattern. We will carry likely or categorical POP today through Tuesday night with QPF of 1 to 2 inches today and again on Tuesday/Tuesday night. Average basin rainfall of 2-4 inches with local 5 inches is expected. Given the expected training of storms at times, some areas may get more than 5 inches. Highs today and Tuesday generally in the mid to upper 80s. Lows tonight and Tuesday night in the lower 70s. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... As of 245 AM Monday... Collaborating Flash Flood Watch through Tuesday night. See above discussion for details tonight through Tuesday night. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 230 PM Sunday... The active/wet pattern is likely to continue through most/if not all of the long term period as the area finds itself sandwiched between a stalled mid/upper-level trough (west) and a sub-tropical Atlantic High (east). This will exacerbate southerly/southwesterly fetch across central NC, providing an airmass characterized by high PWAT values (consistently in the 1.75 to 2.5 inch range) and persistent diurnal shower/thunder chances. The airmass attempts to wash-out a bit toward the end of the period as a frontal boundary approaches the area from the northwest, however, models tend to agree with this boundary stalling near/slightly north of the VA/NC border, keeping us in the warm/humid/stormy airmass for the foreseeable future. QPF amounts are going to be highly difficult to nail down due to the convective nature of the precipitation. As an area average, expect generally 1 to 3 inches of precipitation during this period. Higher amounts will likely be located across the coastal plain with the best moisture profile, and across the Piedmont/Triad region which could see greater coverage thanks to mountain aided development each afternoon. Flooding concerns will generally be locally dependent on high rainfall rates and/or training storms across a particular area. Currently, not a strong signal for potential river flooding according to MMEFS, but with high QPF amounts expected across the headwaters region in VA/western NC over the next 7 days, it could easily transition into more of a concern eventually. With boundary layer moisture ample through the period, thicknesses are expected to remain generally near to slightly below normal, thanks in a large part to persistent cloud cover and/or shower development during prime daytime heating hours. Expect temperatures generally in the low to mid 80s to begin the period, with a few places touching 90 late week as the mid level flow flattens a bit, and a mid to upper-level low is forecast to transverse through the Great Lakes region by Friday/Saturday. Lows will generally settle a bit warmer than normal, in the low to mid 70s during this period. && .AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 105 AM Monday... Aided by upper support this morning, showers and thunderstorms are expected in the eastern part of NC, as far west as KFAY and KRDU. MVFR to IFR CIGS and VSBYS will accompany the showers/storms. Low stratus is expected to reduce CIGS to LIFR in the KGSO/KINT areas with MVFR VSBYS in fog through 14z. A general return to VFR conditions is expected between 14z and 17z, then showers/storms are again expected to develop with associated MVFR CIGS and VSYBS through this evening. Beyond 06Z Tuesday...A deep southerly flow of moist and unstable air will result in an unsettled period through the work week. Showers and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon and evening, combined with periods of low clouds and fog around daybreak will result in a prolonged threat of adverse aviation conditions through the week. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
