What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river 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 river flood warning went out at Sep 14, 9:40 AM EDT, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 14, 9:40 AM EDT, 1 hour 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
940 AM EDT Fri Sep 14 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Hurricane Florence will move very slowly west to southwest near the
coast of southern North Carolina and northeastern South Carolina
through tonight. A slow motion to the west over northern South
Carolina will follow Saturday and Sunday. Conditions will finally
improve early next week as the remnants of Florence finally move
away.

&&

.NEAR TERM /through Saturday/...
As of 940 AM Friday...

Currect forecast through Saturday looks on track.

Hurricane Florence will move extremely slowly towards the southwest
staying very close to the NC coastline today. By Saturday morning
Hurricane Florence is forecast to still be near the coastline over
northeastern South Carolina. Latest runs of the GFS and ECMWF
continue to advertise a swath of 10" to 20" across central North
Carolina (isolated higher amounts possible) with the NSSL WRF, and
HRRR also on board. These types of rainfall unfortunately make sense
given the strong low level moisture transport convergence on the
back side of the storm. Given the above have continued the Flash
Flood Watch into Monday evening. Saturday afternoon into evening
Hurricane Florence will then begin to pull more west and then
northwest and head towards Asheville, NC.

This means that a prolonged period of torrential rainfall can be
expected across most of central North Carolina. Flash flooding of
creeks, rivers, streams, and nearby roadways, and washouts of area
bridges are likely. This will likely result in catastrophic and life
threatening flash flooding and extensive prolonged river flooding
across the lower Neuse, Black, and Cape Fear river basins.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 425 AM Friday...

Saturday night through Sunday night... The remnant circulation of
Florence which should be centered over northern South Carolina on
Saturday evening will move slowly west on Sunday and then begin to
lift north into the Appalachians. As the surface low slips west, a
persistent southerly, convergent flow will produce an arc of
widespread moderate to heavy rain across the state. The greatest
rain coverage will be across the southern Piedmont and Sandhills
where we will maintain 90 PoPs with PoPs in the likely range to the
northeast.

Rainfall amounts during the period will average between 2 and 5
inches with lesser amounts across the far northeast Piedmont and
northern Coastal Plain. This additional rain is likely to exasperate
anticipated flooding issues across the southern tier including the
Neuse, Cape Fear, Black and Yadkin river basins where river flooding
may become extreme.

Windy conditions with winds of 15 to 25 MPH with gusts near 40 MPH
on Saturday evening will gradually abate as the remnant low weakens
and pushes away. Given the wet soil, additional issues with falling
trees are expected.

With lots of clouds and widespread rain, little diurnal temperature
change is expected. Morning lows will range around 70 with afternoon
highs in the mid to upper 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 1245 AM Friday...

The remnant circulation of Florence is expected to lift northeast
through the lower Ohio Valley and northeastern United States Monday
and Tuesday. This will mean the trailing rain bands and associated
weather hazards will come to an end by Sunday night or Monday
for the region.

The trailing surface trough will keep a lingering chance of
mainly diurnal showers and storms into Tuesday afternoon
and possibly Wednesday afternoon. Hot and humid conditions will
also linger through midweek. Lows in the lower to mid 70s
(well above normal) will continue into Wednesday, with highs
in the 80s.

Finally, a pattern change with a true cold frontal passage is
expected late Wednesday. A breath of fresh air courtesy of a
Canadian high pressure will arrive by Thursday and Friday. Lows by
Friday may finally dip into the 50s across the northern Piedmont,
with highs only 80-85.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 940 AM Friday...

Mainly MVFR ceilings will prevail through the TAF period, amidst
tropically-moist, nely low level flow between high pressure over the
Northeast and Hurricane Florence, the latter of which recently made
landfall near Wrightsville Beach, NC. The slow wswwd drift of the
hurricane will also cause already strong NNELY surface winds to
strengthen further across cntl NC today - strongest at FAY, in
closest proximity to the center of Florence. While outer bands of
showers will pivot swwd and affect RWI, FAY, and RDU this morning, a
shield of heavy, tropical precipitation with reduced visibilities,
and stronger and more numerous outer bands of showers and storms,
will pivot wwd across cntl NC through this evening, including into
the GSO and INT vicinity between 00Z-06Z.

Outlook: Florence will eventually arc swd across SC Sat and Sat
night, then lift nwd and newd through the Appalachians through early
next week. Breezy to windy conditions, periods of continued tropical
downpours, storms, and isolated tornadoes --and sub-VFR conditions--
will result, with improving conditions by Tue.
