The episode as NWS ILM wrote it up.
A smoldering fire continued from November into December in the Jackson Swamp area.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Wilmington, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 30, 9:35 PM EST, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 935 PM EST FRI NOV 30 2007 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE WILL RIDGE ACROSS THE AREA FROM NEW ENGLAND THROUGH SUNDAY. THE HIGH WILL WEAKEN AND SLIDE OFF THE EAST COAST LATE SUNDAY...ALLOWING A COLD FRONT TO PUSH SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA AROUND SUNRISE MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ACROSS TEXAS ON MONDAY WILL MOVE TO THE GULF COAST STATES BY WED. THE CAROLINAS WILL SEE RIDGING FROM THIS HIGH LATE MONDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/... AS OF 9 PM... LATEST OBSERVATIONS INDICATE DEWPOINTS ARE RUNNING A GOOD 3-5 DEGREES HIGHER THAN WHAT GUIDANCE DEPICTED FOR THIS TIME...00Z SAT. THESE READINGS ARE MAINLY TRUE FOR THE INLAND STATIONS. WITH WINDS HAVING OR NEARLY DECOUPLED ACROSS LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST...A WEAK SFC BASED INVERSION HAVING SET UP...AND ONLY THIN CIRRUS LEFT ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE OPAQUE CI HAVING MOVED OFF THE COAST...ALL OF THESE FACTORS POINT TOWARD A SOME WHAT DECENT RAD COOLING NITE WITH TEMPS PROGGED TO BOTTOM OUT NEAR DEWPOINT READINGS. WITH THIS THE CASE...EVEN WITH CURRENT DEWPOINTS TO FALL A DEGREE OR 2...LOWS TONIGHT WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE TWEAKED UPWARDS 1-3 DEGREES. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE VERY LIMITED WITH THE ATM OVERALL DRY AS A BONE...AS A RESULT DO NOT SEE FOG AS A PROBLEM EVEN WITH THE FAVORABLE N-NE WIND DIRECTION ACROSS THE AREA. FOR SATURDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS...300MB...WILL LIE N-S FROM PENNSACOLA TO CHICAGO. WILL START OFF THE DAY WITH CLEAR SKIES WITH CI/CS TO MOVE ACROSS THE 3MB RIDGE AXIS AND AFFECT THE ILM CWA LATER IN THE DAY ON SATURDAY. THERE WILL BE POCKETS OF OPAQUE CI/CS ACROSS THE ILM CWA BUT FOR THE PREDOMINATE PORTION OF THE DAY...SUNNY FOR SKY CONDITIONS WILL DO. NEAR NORMAL OF LOW TO MID 60S FOR HIGHS ON SATURDAY CONTINUE TO LOOK ON TARGET. DEWPOINTS FOR SATURDAY WILL DROP INTO THE LOWER 20S MAINLY AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST AS A RESULT OF THIS VERY DRY AIR MASS AS DEPICTED BELOW 700MB. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY AFTERNOON... THE HIGH PUSHES OFFSHORE SATURDAY NIGHT WITH THE LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNING MORE ONSHORE. THIS WILL BEGIN TO WARM AND SIGNIFICANTLY MOISTEN THE LOW LEVELS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON ISENTROPIC LIFT BEGIN TO DEVELOP ON THE 295K SURFACE WHICH CORRESPONDS TO THE 925-875 MB LAYER. THIS LIFT STRENGTHENS SUNDAY NIGHT AND EXTENDS EVEN HIGHER (300K SURFACE...UP TO 800 MB) WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN SHOWERS. FACTORS ARGUING AGAINST A SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION EVENT INCLUDE THE SHALLOW EXTENT OF THE MOISTURE... AND THE LIFT WITH THE UPPER LEVEL JET LAGGING SIGNIFICANTLY BEHIND THE SURFACE SYSTEM. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH A 3-DAY FORECAST WILL HOLD POPS IN THE 40-60% RANGE FOR NOW. RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL ALLOW FOR A QUICK FALL SATURDAY NIGHT BUT THEN A STEADY OR PERHAPS RISING TEMPERATURE PROFILE LATE AS WARM ADVECTION AND CLOUD COVERAGE INCREASE. LOWS SHOULD REACH 35-40 AWAY FROM THE COAST. SUNDAY HAS THE MOST UNCERTAINTY WITH MODERATE WARM ADVECTION COUNTERED BY INCREASINGLY CLOUDY SKIES. THE NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW AN INVERSION HOLDING FIRM NEAR THE SURFACE ALL DAY INLAND AS WARM ADVECTION SKATES ABOVE COLD DENSE SURFACE AIR. IF THE NAM WERE TO VERIFY THIS WOULD RESULT IN HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY REACHING THE MID 50S INLAND SUNDAY. WE BELIEVE ENOUGH FILTERED SUN SHOULD PENETRATE THE CLOUDS TO ALLOW TEMPS TO REACH AT LEAST 60 INLAND WITH MID 60S CLOSER TO THE COAST. BY SUNDAY NIGHT...CLOUDS AND STRONG WINDS WILL HOLD LOW TEMPERATURES ONLY A FEW DEGREES BELOW DAYTIME HIGHS...55 TO 60 MOST AREAS. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 3PM FRIDAY... STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHES RAPIDLY ACROSS THE AREA NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE PD. WITH ITS DEPARTURE WILL GO THE ONLY CHANCES FOR PRECIP IN THE FCST. MOISTURE WITH THE FROPA NOT VERY DEEP AND THE MID LEVEL FORCING REMAINS WELL TO OUR NORTH WHILE UPPER FORCING...ALTHOUGH CLOSER...LAGS BEHIND THE MOISTURE BY SEVERAL HOURS PREVENTING DEEP LIFT. DEPENDING ON HOW EARLY MONDAY THE FROPA ACTUALLY IS TEMPS MAY HAVE A NON-DIURNAL CURVE WITH AFTERNOON TEMPS LEVEL OR FALLING. VERY CLOSE TO FREEZING AREA-WIDE ON MONDAY NIGHT...FCST IS A LITTLE WEIGHED TOWARDS THE COOLER END OF ENSEMBLES. STRONG NWRLY FLOW WILL PUSH CHILLY SFC HIGH INTO THE SRN MS VALLEY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY KEEPING LOCAL TEMPS ABOUT A CATEGORY BELOW CLIMO. LOWS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT UPPER 20S COLD SPOTS TO LOWER 30S (UPPER 30S SC COAST). DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL KEEP CLOUDS TO A MINIMUM MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. WEAK WAA ON WED COULD LEAD TO SOME MOISTURE IN THE FORM OF CLOUDS...MAINLY TO OUR NORTH...BUT GIVEN THE LARGELY DOWNSLOPING SETUP THIS LOOKS OVERDONE IN GUIDANCE. SOLUTIONS START TO DIVERGE QUITE A BIT BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. ANOTHER FRONT SLATED FOR FRIDAY OR THEREABOUTS. ECMWF HAS A MUCH LOWER AMPLITUDE LOOK FOR THE LATE WEEK AND WEEKEND PD WHEN COMPARED TO THE GFS WHICH CONTINUES TO DEPICT SIGNIFICANT ENERGY DIGGING INTO THE GREAT LAKES TROUGHINESS. HAVE OPTED FOR A DRY FCST IN LIGHT OF THE UNCERTAINTY...GRANTED EVEN THE FLATTER ECMWF DOES DEPICT A LITTLE PRECIP ON FRIDAY. && .CLIMATE /NOVEMBER/... ...DRIEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD FOR FLORENCE... ...BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL CONTINUES IN WILMINGTON... THE FINAL NUMBERS ARE IN FOR NOVEMBER BUT THE RESULT IS THE SAME, OUR LONG STRETCH OF DRY WEATHER CONTINUES. FOR WILMINGTON, NOVEMBER WILL GO DOWN AS THE 13TH DRIEST ON RECORD AND AUTUMN WILL GO DOWN AS THE 27TH DRIEST. WHILE BOTH OF THESE ARE FAR FROM IMPRESSIVE, THE VALUE WE CONTINUE TO TRACK IS THE YEARLY TOTAL. THROUGH THE END OF NOVEMBER WILMINGTON HAS MEASURED 30.31 INCHES OF RAINFALL, GOOD FOR 3RD DRIEST YEAR ON RECORD WITH A MONTH TO GO. RECORDS IN WILMINGTON GO BACK TO 1871. FOR FLORENCE, THE NUMBERS ARE MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE, ESPECIALLY FOR NOVEMBER. IN FLORENCE, NOVEMBER WILL GO DOWN AS THE DRIEST ON RECORD WITH JUST .22 INCHES OF RAINFALL RECORDED. IN FLORENCE, AUTUMN WILL GO DOWN AS THE 10TH DRIEST ON RECORD WITH 5.44 INCHES OF RAINFALL. THROUGH THE END OF NOVEMBER FLORENCE HAS MEASURED 30.85 INCHES OF RAINFALL, GOOD FOR 3RD DRIEST YEAR ON RECORD WITH A MONTH TO GO. RECORDS IN FLORENCE GO BACK TO 1948. BELOW YOU WILL FIND MUCH MORE DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING PRECIPITATION FOR NOVEMBER 2007, AUTUMN 2007, AND THE YEAR SO FAR. NOVEMBER 2007...WILMINGTON ANOTHER MONTH IN THE BOOKS, ANOTHER MONTH WITH BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL FOR WILMINGTON. THE MONTHLY RAINFALL IN WILMINGTON FOR NOVEMBER WAS ONLY .60 INCHES, 2.66 INCHES BELOW THE NORMAL AMOUNT OF 3.26 INCHES. WE ONLY HAD 4 DAYS OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION (.01 INCHES OR MORE) DURING THE MONTH. THE MONTH OPENED WITH 14 STRAIGHT DAYS WITHOUT MEASURABLE RAINFALL UNTIL JUST OVER A 1/3 OF AN INCH FELL ON THE 15TH. AFTER THE RAIN ON THE 15TH, 9 MORE DRY DAYS FOLLOWED UNTIL MEASURABLE RAINFALL FELL ON THE 25TH. DESPITE THESE LONG DRY STRETCHES AND NOVEMBER ENDING UP WELL BELOW NORMAL, WE DID NOT MAKE IT INTO THE TOP 10 FOR DRIEST NOVEMBERS ON RECORD. BELOW THE 13 DRIEST NOVEMBERS IN WILMINGTON ARE LISTED.

THIS EQUATES TO 23% OF THE AUTUMN HAVING MEASURABLE RAINFALL ON ANY GIVEN DAY. THIS SEEMS A BIT HIGH GIVEN OUR DROUGHT CONDITIONS. WHEN YOU DIG DEEPER, OF THOSE 21 TOTAL DAYS OF MEASURABLE RAINFALL, 9 OF THEM HAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF A TENTH OF AN INCH OR LESS. THE TOTAL RAINFALL FOR AUTUMN IN WILMINGTON WAS 7.37 INCHES, 5.89 INCHES BELOW THE NORMAL AMOUNT OF 13.26 INCHES. DESPITE THE AUTUMN SEASON BEING WELL BELOW NORMAL, WE ONLY RANKED 27TH DRIEST AUTUMN ON RECORD. BELOW ARE THE 10 DRIEST AUTUMNS IN WILMINGTON ON RECORD.

CULD OBSERVE POCKETS NEAR RUNWAYS BUT NOT ENUF TO LOWER THE OVERAL FCST PREVAILING VSBY. NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL BE UNDER 5 KT OVERNIGHT WITH A FEW TERMINALS GOING CALM AT TIMES AS WINDS DECOUPLE DUE TO A WEAK SFC BASED INVERSION. NORTHEAST WINDS WILL KICK IN AFTER 14Z SATURDAY...AFTER THE INVERSION BREAKS...WITH SPEEDS IN THE 8-13 KT RANGE. COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE TERMINALS MONDAY MORNING WITH A NARROW BAND OF SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH 6 6M SATURDAY/... AS OF 9 PM...

FRYING PAN SHOALS BUOY WATER TEMP 72. THIS HAS CREATED SOME AIR-SEA INTERACTIONS RESULTING IN CONVECTIVE MIXING DUE TO THE COOLER AIR HAVING BEEN EJECTED SOUTHWARD. THE INCREASED WIND SPEEDS ARE ALSO NOTED AT THE FOREMENTIONED BUOYS. WILL INDICATE 15-20 KT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT...AS RESULT OF ALL OF THESE PROCESSES COMBINED.

SEAS WILL AVERAGE 2-4 FT (EXCEPT TO 5 FT NEAR CAPE FEAR) IN THE NORTHEAST FLOW SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. SEAS WILL BUILD SIGNIFICANTLY SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT...POSSIBLY REACHING 7 FT OFF CAPE FEAR. ALL GUIDANCE INCLUDING THE WAVEWATCH ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST THINKING. LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 3PM FRIDAY...

A VEER FROM SW TO W MAY OCCUR WITH THE FRONT NEAR THE START OF THE PD AS WELL. THIS VEER PAIRED WITH THE MORE OFFSHORE DIRECTION/DIMINISHING WINDS WILL ACT TO SLOWLY DECREASE SEAS. ANY ADVISORIES WILL PROBABLY BE DROPPED BY MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL LIE TO THE WEST TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY KEEPING THINGS REASONABLY QUIET FOR DECEMBER.
