$$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 Nov 13, 4:35 AM EST, 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 13, 4:35 AM EST, 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Raleigh NC 435 AM EST Tue Nov 13 2018 .SYNOPSIS... A strong low pressure system will move southwest to northeast through the Southeast U.S. today, followed by the passage of a strong cold front tonight. Cold high pressure will return Wednesday. Another area of low pressure will approach central NC from the southwest Thursday and Thursday night. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 355 AM Tuesday... A complex and unsettled weather will persist across central NC through mid week, with another shot of locally heavy/excessive rainfall late Wednesday night into Thursday. Bands of moderate-locally heavy-rain exiting the Coastal Plain at 0830Z with patchy light in its wake. A moist mid/upper level SW flow will maintain an abundantly moist air mass over central NC through tonight, characterized by precip water values 1.2-1.6 inches (NW- SE). Perturbations in the SW flow aloft will trigger scattered rain showers throughout the morning through early afternoon. A slightly more pronounced perturbation will approach from the SW later this afternoon, increasing rain coverage once again though rainfall intensity will be much less compared to the rains of Monday afternoon-evening. The passage of this perturbation early this evening will aid to drag a strong cold front into central NC tonight. This boundary expected to slip sewd across our region this evening. Nly flow on the back side of the front will advect a notably cooler and slightly drier air mass into the lower levels of the atmosphere while the flow aloft will remain SW. this overrunning will maintain cloudy skies tonight into Wednesday. The slipping of the front southward will diminish rain coverage and intensity this evening with the highest rain chances confined to the southern counties late tonight into the overnight. This will give much of the region a needed respite from the rain. Temperatures across the SE will fall this morning as the coastal trough migrates back to the offshore waters, then stabilize/recover this afternoon. Temperatures across the north-northwest should recover some but still remain well below normal for mid November. Highs should range from the upper 40s/around 50 NW to the upper 50s SE. Behind the front, temperatures will stumble into the 30s across most of the Piedmont, with lower 40s across the SE. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... As of 435 AM Tuesday... A sfc dry air ridge will extend into central NC early Wednesday. The cool stable air mass will limit rain chances for the most part with just a slight/small chance of light over the southern counties. While the lower levels will be cool and dry, a persistent SW flow aloft will maintain a steady stream of moisture, result in widespread overcast skies. The lack of sun and an unseasonably cold air mass will result in temperatures a solid 15-18 degrees below normal, generally in the mid-upper 40s. Another potent s/w will round the base of the l/w trough over the lower MS Valley and initiate a sfc wave to develop off the SE U.S. coast Wednesday night. The approach of the s/w will back the 805mb wind to a sely direction Wednesday night, increasing isentropic upglide Wednesday night, leading to an expansive area of moderate to locally heavy rain. At this time, appears the highest rainfall intensity will be near or immediately west of our western periphery. Considering our recent round of heavy rain, a flash flood watch may be needed for sections of the Piedmont late Wednesday night into Thursday, once it becomes more certain where the axis of heavy. rainfall will lie. While bulk of the precip will be rain, there is an outside chance that the rain in the far NW Piedmont may mix at times with some sleet during the pre dawn hours Thursday. Sfc temperatures are forecast to hover near or just above freezing so not too overly concerned about freezing rain occurring to the extent to cause any ice accrual. Will need to monitor the temperature in vicinity of the higher terrain over far western-northwest Forsyth County where temperatures will have the highest risk of slipping just below freezing just long enough prior to sunrise Thu to permit a brief period of freezing rain to occur. Analyzing model forecast soundings and running a couple in-house winter p-type algorithms indicate a cold rain for the NW Piedmont, so will keep it simple for now and maintain the mention of rain late Wednesday night/early Thu. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 355 AM Tuesday... Through Thursday Night: The upper level low over the MS River Valley will deepen and lift east-northeast on Thursday, then eastward over the Appalachians and through the Virginias through Friday. Meanwhile at the surface, a CAD airmass over the western half of NC that will linger into Thursday/Thursday night. A pair of lows will develop and move northeastward, parallel to one another, with NC in the middle. The first will develop in association with the parent low aloft, while the second will develop along the existing front over the Southeast US coast and track northeast along the East Coast. Expect precipitation associated with the systems to begin before daybreak Thursday, with the best chances for rainfall across the area between midnight Thursday and midnight Friday. The GFS continues to the the faster model, but timing is only off by 6 hrs or less. Thursday's high temperatures are a bit tricky, but expect upper 30s NW to low 50s SE, albeit highly dependent on the coastal low and lingering wedge. Lows generally in the mid 30s to low 40s. Friday through Monday: As the lows lift off to the northeast away from the region the forecast is expected to dry out. While cooler air will advect into the area in the wake of the lows, the surface high will linger over the Gulf Coast. As a result, overnight lows will remain well below normal, while high temperatures will actually moderate in the wake of the system. Temperatures are actually expected to hold fairly steady through the remainder of the forecast period, with highs generally in the 50s and lows in the mid 30s. A reinforcing cold front may bring a better push of cold air early next week, however it's too far out to say for sure. && .AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 110 AM Tuesday... Widespread adverse/poor aviation conditions will persist across central NC through this morning with slight improvement anticipated this afternoon into the evening hours. Wide rain will gradually taper off through 10Z, with scattered showers expected across the region after 10Z. Another batch of scattered-numerous showers will lift newd across central NC this afternoon. Ceilings are expected to remain IFR/LIFR through 14z, then lift mainly into the MVFR category this afternoon. Ceilings may briefly lift into the VFR category late this afternoon-evening before lowering back into the MVFR category. Another round of rain and persistent low ceilings will occur Wednesday through Thursday across central NC. A definitive improvement in aviation conditions with VFR parameters anticipated for Friday and Saturday. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
