The episode as NWS ILM wrote it up.
A weak cold front extended across central North Carolina into western South Carolina during the afternoon. A series of weak upper level disturbances provided the lift for convection. Along and south of this boundary, the air mass was very unstable. Thunderstorms organized into short line segments with surface-based CAPE values of 2000-3000 J/kg.
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 Aug 6, 1:50 PM EST, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 250 PM EDT FRI AUG 6 2010 .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH AND EAST TOWARD THE AREA TONIGHT...ACCOMPANIED BY STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE EASTERN CAROLINAS SATURDAY AND STALL...MOVING LITTLE THROUGH SUNDAY. THE FRONT WILL DISSIPATE MONDAY AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS TO OUR SOUTH AND BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS OFFSHORE. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...LINE OF CONVECTION HAS MOVED ACROSS A LINE FROM HORRY TO COLUMBUS COUNTY EXTENDING INTO SOUTHERN PENDER COUNTY AND IS NOW OFFSHORE. STORMS ARE FIRING WEST IN THE COLUMBIA AREA AND SNEAKING INTO DILLON AND FLORENCE COUNTIES WHERE A RIBBON OF 3000 J/KG PLUS ML CAPE RESIDES. THIS WILL BE THE AREA OF INTEREST THROUGH THE REMAINING AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THE FORMER AREAS WILL LIKELY REMAIN STABILIZED. THE WESTERN COUNTIES REMAIN IN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 9 PM. WILL HAVE A POP MINIMUM AT 3 PM INCREASING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON FOR THE WESTERN AREAS WITH DIMINISHING POPS FOR THE STABILIZED/EASTERN COASTAL COUNTIES. STILL A TOSSUP REGARDING ANY CONVECTION DRIVEN BY OUTFLOWS OR A MCS FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WILL SHOW A SUBTLE INCREASE IN POPS AFTER 0600 UTC TO ADDRESS THIS POSSIBILITY. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID 70S ACROSS THE BOARD. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...THE HOT UPPER RIDGE WILL GET SUPPRESSED TO THE SOUTH THIS WEEKEND AS AN UPPER TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER EASTERN NORTH AMERICA. THE RIDGE WILL POP BACK UP INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY AS WHAT'S LEFT OF THE TROUGH LIFTS UP THROUGH NEW ENGLAND. PERHAPS IMPORTANT TO OUR WEATHER NEXT WEEK IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY THAT CUTS OFF FROM THE UPPER TROUGH IN THE BAHAMAS...FORMING A COLD CORE UPPER LOW AND SURFACE REFLECTION THIS WEEKEND. SATURDAY WILL FEATURE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MOST NUMEROUS ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA...AS THE UPPER TROUGH CROSSES OVERHEAD AND A WEAK FRONT PLUS THE SEABREEZE PROVIDE ENHANCED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 2.25 INCHES AND DAYTIME SURFACE-BASED CAPE 2000-3000 J/KG. STORM MOTION WILL BE VERY SLOW AND PERHAPS GOVERNED MORE BY BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS THAN BY SYNOPTIC FLOW. BESIDES THE POTENTIAL OF MICROBURSTS WITH SUCH TALL AND WIDE INSTABILITY PROFILES NOTED ON FORECAST SOUNDINGS... THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL OF ISOLATED FLOODING DUE TO SLOW STORM MOVEMENT. SUNDAY SHOULD BE DRIER OVERALL AS THE UPPER TROUGH EXITS THE COAST AND DRIER MID-LEVEL AIR SPREADS OVER THE AREA. PRECIPITABLE WATER FALLS SUNDAY TO AROUND 1.75 INCHES. AT THE LOW LEVELS THE FLOW WILL TURN FIRMLY ONSHORE HOWEVER...CONTINUING A VERY HUMID AIRMASS AT THE SURFACE WHICH SHOULD YIELD 20-30 PERCENT COVERAGE OF MAINLY AFTERNOON STORMS. HIGHS BOTH DAYS SHOULD RANGE 89-94...WARMEST AT THE BEACHES WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE THROUGH NEXT WEEK AS BERMUDA HIGH BUILDS BACK TO THE EAST ACROSS THE SE AND H5 HIGH BUILDS ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES AND REMAINS FIRMLY IN TRENCH. WITH MAINLY HIGH PRESSURE EXPECTED AND MAINLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS THE REGION EACH DAY EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO GRADUALLY WARM EACH DAY REACHING THE MID TO UPPER 90S INLAND DURING THE MID WEEK PERIOD. TEMPERATURES WILL AVERAGE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL ALONG THE COAST AND AROUND 5 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL INLAND. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION ALONG THE COAST DURING THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK AS JUICY MOISTURE PLUME RESIDES NEAR THE COAST. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA DURING THE LATTER PART OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS WELL WITH PIEDMONT TROUGH AND SEAS BREEZE BECOMING THE DRIVING FACTOR EACH DAY. POPS CHANCE ARE AROUND CLIMO AT 20 TO 30 PERCENT. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 18Z...CONVECTION WILL BE GOOD BET AT THE COASTAL TERMINALS EARLY IN THE FORECAST PERIOD...WITH ANOTHER POSSIBLE LARGE BATCH OF CONVECTION AFFECTING LBT AND FLO A FEW HOURS LATER. WINDS COULD BRIEFLY GUST TO NEAR 30 KTS AT THE COASTAL TERMINALS IN THE CONVECTION. WINDS WILL BE SOUTHWESTERLY AND GUSTY...BECOMING SOUTH SOUTHWEST WITH THE RESULTANT. THE RESULTANT SHOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE FOR THUNDERSTORM FORMATION. LOOK FOR CONVECTION TO DIMINISH BY 02-03Z...WITH DIMINISHING WINDS. EXTENDED OUTLOOK...WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS INTO MONDAY DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF A FRONTAL SYSTEM. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...CURRENTLY WINDS DISTORTED ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS VIA STRONG LINE OF CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS. THE SYNOPTIC FLOW WILL RESUME SHORTLY AND BE FROM THE SOUTHWEST AT 10-15 KNOTS...STRONGER EARLY THIS EVENING THEN DIMINISHING AND VEERING SLIGHTLY TO MORE OF A WESTERLY COMPONENT BY SATURDAY MORNING. SWAN SEAS ARE ADVERTISING SOME FIVE FOOTERS AS THEY HAVE BEEN WHICH HAS NOT BEEN VERIFYING...WILL KEEP SEAS AT 2-4 FEET AND DROP THE SCEC FOR THE NC WATERS. SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...A WEAK FRONT WILL APPROACH THE CAROLINA COASTLINE FROM THE WEST SATURDAY...BUT SHOULD STALL AND RETREAT FARTHER INLAND BEFORE MAKING IT TO THE COAST. THE ONSHORE FLOW WILL BECOME ENHANCED ESPECIALLY BY SUNDAY AS LOW PRESSURE BEGINS TO DEVELOP OVER THE BAHAMAS. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH THE PERIOD AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CROSSES THE AREA. STORMS SHOULD BE MOST NUMEROUS SATURDAY...BUT WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY WITH PERHAPS A LITTLE LESS COVERAGE EXPECTED. LONG-PERIOD SWELLS GENERATED BY TROPICAL STORM COLIN WILL MOVE THROUGH THE WATERS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE LATEST WAVEWATCH GUIDANCE INDICATE A SOUTHEAST 11-SECOND SWELL DEVELOPING SATURDAY. PREVAILING WIND DIRECTIONS WILL ALSO BE SOUTH-SOUTHEASTERLY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...PRODUCING AN ADDITIONAL 5-6 SECOND WIND WAVE. TOTALS SEAS SHOULD RANGE FROM 3-4 FT...WITH OCCASIONAL 5-FOOTERS POSSIBLE NEAR FRYING PAN SHOALS. LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 3 PM FRIDAY...SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT DURING MONDAY MORNING GRADUALLY INCREASING TO AROUND 10 KTS DURING THE AFTERNOON NEAR SHORE AND AROUND 15 KTS OFFSHORE PRODUCING 1 TO 2 FOOT SEAS NEAR SHORE AND 3 TO 4 FEET OFFSHORE. WINDS BECOME SOUTHERLY ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS AND OFFSHORE WATERS MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY ABATING TO AROUND 5 KTS NEAR SHORE AND 10 KTS OFFSHORE MONDAY NIGHT INCREASING TO AROUND 10 KTS NEAR SHORE AND 10 TO 15 KTS OFFSHORE ON TUESDAY. SEAS WILL RUN 1-2 FEET NEAR SHORE AND 2-3 FEET OFFSHORE BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION ON MONDAY WITH POPS AROUND 20 PERCENT. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SC...NONE.
