A disturbance aloft across southern Georgia backed the mid-level flow and increased the mid-level wind speeds across the area during the afternoon. Moderate instability aided thunderstorm development and allowed the fast moving thunderstorms to reach severe levels.

The episode as NWS ILM wrote it up.
A disturbance aloft across southern Georgia backed the mid-level flow and increased the mid-level wind speeds across the area during the afternoon. Moderate instability aided thunderstorm development and allowed the fast moving thunderstorms to reach severe levels.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
250 PM EDT SUN JUN 29 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION INTO
MONDAY WITH A VERY WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS PROVIDING A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA MONDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS
FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN FOR THE
END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #640 RUNS THROUGH 9 PM
LOCAL TIME FOR OUR FORECAST AREA MINUS THE CAPE FEAR COUNTIES OF
BRUNSWICK...PENDER AND NEW HANOVER. A FOLLOWUP WATCH MAY BE ISSUED
IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS TO ADDRESS THESE COUNTIES AND/OR OTHERS
ACROSS EASTERN NC. A DISTURBANCE ALOFT ACROSS SOUTHERN GEORGIA HAS
BACKED THE MID-LEVEL FLOW AND INCREASED MID-LEVEL WIND SPEEDS ACROSS
THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. CAPE VALUES OF 2000-3000 J/KG AND LIFTED
INDICES AS LOW AS -7 ARE HELPING FEED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. WITH
THE STRONGER WINDS AND SOME SLIGHT VEERING OF THE WIND PROFILES WITH
HEIGHT...STORMS ARE ABLE TO ORGANIZE THEMSELVES INTO LINE SEGMENTS
AND SHORT BOWS. IF STORMS CAN ACHIEVE ENOUGH COVERAGE AND DEVELOP A
SUBSTANTIAL COLD POOL AT THE SURFACE...WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS
COULD RESULT ON THE LEADING EDGE OF T-STORM OUTFLOWS.
50-70% AREAL COVERAGE OF STORMS IS EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY EVENING
WHEN THE INITIAL ACTIVITY SHOULD SHIFT NORTH AND EAST OF THE AREA.
THE DISTURBANCE ALOFT WILL THEN PUSH ACROSS OVERNIGHT. NEW STORMS
OUT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS ARE ALMOST GUARANTEED...BUT LESS
INSTABILITY OVER LAND MEANS THERE IS SOME QUESTION HOW MUCH
REDEVELOPMENT WE WILL SEE. SREF PROBABILITIES FOR MEASURABLE
PRECIPITATION SHOW 40-50% CHANCES FOR RAIN INLAND OVERNIGHT
INCREASING TO 80-100% OFFSHORE.
LOWS TEMPS OVERNIGHT WILL DEPEND ON CONVECTIVE BEHAVIOR SINCE A
SUDDEN CLOUDBURST COULD PUSH TEMPS DOWN TO AROUND 70 AT ALMOST ANY
TIME. LOW TO MID 70S ARE EXPECTED MOST AREAS...WITH LITTLE FALL OFF
OVERNIGHT WITH SUBSTANTIAL CLOUD COVERAGE AND A VERY HUMID AIRMASS
PERSISTING.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...NE MORE DAY OF A VERY MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW
BEFORE EAST COAST TROUGH ADVANCES OFF THE COAST PUSHING A COLD FRONT
THROUGH. STILL A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST AS THE MODEL GUIDANCE
REGARDING POPS REMAINS BASICALLY USELESS THROUGH THE PERIOD. WILL
CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE THE HIGHEST POPS FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON TO MATCH
UP WITH YET ANOTHER VORT TRAVERSING THE FLOW AND THE PROXIMITY TO
THE SURFACE FRONT WHICH WILL BE LOCATED JUST INLAND. THE BEST CHANCE
WILL BE ALONG THE COAST.
CONTINUED WITH HIGHER POPS FOR THE COASTAL AREAS INTO MONDAY EVENING
WHERE AMPLE MID LEVEL MOISTURE LINGERS ALONG WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED
FORCING ELEMENTS.
MAV NUMBERS STILL HAVE LOW CHANCE POPS ALONG THE COAST TUESDAY WHICH
IS A BIT UNUSUAL SINCE ANY GENERATED QPF REMAINS WELL OFF THE COAST.
THERE IS ALWAYS A TENDENCY FOR FRONTS TO HANG UP THIS TIME OF YEAR
ALTHOUGH WITH A TROUGH OF THIS MAGNITUDE...THE PROGRESSION SEEMS
DOABLE. WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHANCE ALONG THE COAST JUST IN CASE.
TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE GETS INTERESTING LATE AS AXIS OF COOLER AIR
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. A REFRESHING 55 IS
SHOWING UP IN LUMBERTON WITH 61 IN FLORENCE AND MIDDLE 60S ALONG THE
COAST. SEEMS A BIT COOL AND CONSIDERING THE GUIDANCE HASNT SEEN A
LOT OF THESE SITUATIONS...WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE A BIT.
OTHERWISE...WILL CONTINUE TO TRIM BACK WARMER MAV NUMBERS THROUGH
THE PERIOD.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...LIGHT AND VARIABLE SFC FLOW TO START THE PD AS
THE BOUNDARY COMPLETELY DISSIPATES. DEWPOINTS WILL STILL BE RUNNING
BELOW NORMAL BUT WILL TEND TO INC...ESP ALONG THE COAST WITH HELP
FROM THE SEABREEZE AS THE FLOW GRADUALLY TURNS MORE ONSHORE.
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN INSUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT ANY PRECIP. PIEDMONT
TROUGH DEVELOPS BY THURSDAY BUT THE DEEP MOISTURE WILL REMAIN
OFFSHORE AND ANOTHER DRY AND NR CLIMO AFTERNOON EXPECTED.
FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND SHOULD BRING CONDITIONS PRETTY TYPICAL OF
JULY. TEMPS NR CLIMO AND A 30-ISH PERCENT OF COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON
TSTMS BOTH TRIGGERED BY THE PRESENCE OF THE PIEDMONT TROUGH AND THE
SEABREEZE.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
14Z SFC ANALYSIS INDICATED HIGHEST T/TD NORTHEAST OF ILM AND
SOUTHWEST OF CHS. 12Z 85H ANALYSIS INDICATING THE SAME WITH
DIVERGENT FLOW/WEAK RIDGING WEST OF CHS. 12Z 85H TROUGHS WERE NOTED
NORTHEAST OF ILM AND ENTERING GA. THE SEA BREEZE AT 17Z WAS JUST
INLAND OF THE COASTAL TERMINALS BUT CLOSEST TO ILM.
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DEVELOPING OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS. GFS/NAM INDICATING BEST OMEGAS ALONG THE COAST WHILE
NOT HARDLY ANY NEAR FLO/LBT. CU DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN SUBDUED NEAR
MYR/CRE MOST LIKELY DUE TO EARLIER SHOWER ACTIVITY. BELIEVE IT WILL
BE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON BEFORE ANYTHING ERUPTS AND IT WILL LIKELY
BE ISOLATED AND INLAND OF THE COASTAL TERMINALS. THUS WILL INDICATE
VCTS/CB IN COASTAL TAFS THIS AFTERNOON.
PROGS INDICATING AN IMPULSE MOVING UP THE COAST THIS EVENING. WILL
CONTINUE WITH TEMPO GROUPS FOR THUNDERSTORMS AFTER 21-23Z FOR THE
COASTAL TERMINALS WITH VCTS/CB AT FLO/LBT. AFTER 06Z THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD BE WELL NORTHWEST OF THE TERMINALS OR LINGERING JUST
OFFSHORE. OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS...VFR EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING. WINDS WILL GUST TO 25 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON BEHIND THE SEA
BREEZE BOUNDARY. WINDS CONTINUE 5-10 KNOTS OVERNIGHT.
OUTLOOK SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH
TUESDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...THE GRADIENT HAS ACHIEVED ITS TIGHTEST POINT
THIS AFTERNOON WITH SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS AROUND 20 KT WITH SOME
25 KT GUSTS NOW BEING OBSERVED ALONG THE COAST. SEAS ARE BUILDING TO
5 FT WITH SOME 6 FOOTERS AT THE OFFSHORE BUOYS. THERE IS STILL A
9-10 SECOND SWELL FROM THE SOUTHEAST BEING PRODUCED BY A LONG
EASTERLY FETCH SOUTH OF THE BERMUDA HIGH...STILL CONTROLLING THE
WEATHER OVER MUCH OF THE ATLANTIC. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL
REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR WINDS APPROACHING 25 KT AND SEAS NEAR 6 FT.
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE LANDMASS AND ARE MOVING
RAPIDLY NORTHEAST. SOME MAY IMPACT THE COASTAL WATERS THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH EARLY EVENING...BUT A MORE CONCENTRATED BATCH OF CONVECTION
IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE WATERS LATE THIS EVENING. VARIABLE
AND GUSTY WINDS ARE VERY LIKELY IN THE VICINITY OF ANY CONVECTION.
SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES THROUGH MONDAY EVENING
WITH THE FLOW TURNING NORTHWEST BETWEEN 0600 AND 1200 TUESDAY
MORNING. LITTLE CHANGE IN WIND FIELDS THIS CYCLE AND THEREFOR NO
CHANGE IN SEAS MONDAY. WILL CONTINUE WITH SMALL CRAFT FOR NORTHERN
ZONES THROUGH 0300 UTC TUESDAY MORNING. VERY WEAK WINDS SETTLE OVER
THE WATERS TUESDAY AS SURFACE HIGH REMAINS WELL TO THE WEST AND
FRONT JUST TO THE EAST OF THE WATERS. WILL USE 10 KNOTS OR LESS WITH
A VARIABLE DIRECTION AS SEA BREEZE INFLUENCE SHOULD KEEP THE
DIRECTION IN FLUX.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM SUNDAY...THE LAST VESTIGE OF THE COLD FRONT WILL BE THE
LACK OF ANY APPRECIABLE PRESSURE PATTERN WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING
GENERALLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS ALTHOUGH AS THE DAY WEARS ON A
LIGHT SOUTHERLY COMPONENT SHOULD DEVELOP. A SLIGHT VEER AND INCREASE
IN SPEED WILL ROUND OUT THE PD. BERMUDA HIGH WILL BRING S TO SW
WINDS ACRS THE FCST AREA THAT SHOULD REMAIN CAPPED AT 10 KTS BUT
OCCASIONALLY MIXING WILL LEAD TO 15 KT WINDS. SEAS WILL REMAIN IN
THE 2 TO 3 FT RANGE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY AS A SHORT PD WIND WAVE WITH
NO APPRECIABLE SWELL COMPONENT.
