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 Jun 2, 1:10 PM EST, 1 hour 20 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 210 PM EDT WED JUN 2 2010 .SYNOPSIS... HIT AND MISS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP BY AFTERNOON AS THE SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION GETS UNDERWAY AMID A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS. THIS PATTERN COUPLED WITH WEAK DISTURBANCES ALOFT TRACKING SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST...WILL MAINTAIN A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEKEND. A COLD FRONT MAY CROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATE SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 210 PM WEDNESDAY...WEAK IMPULSES ALOFT NOTED IN VAPOR MOTIONS IS AIDING CONVECTION CURRENTLY OVER THE FORECAST AREA. INSTABILITY AND WIND PROFILES TODAY SUGGEST CELLS WILL BE CAPABLE OF DOWNPOURS WITH PWAT VALUES AROUND 1.85 INCHES. RELATIVELY LIGHT COLUMN WINDS WILL PRODUCE A STEERING FLOW OF AROUND 250 DEG AT 11 KNOTS. WITH THIS IN MIND...THERE IS A CHANCE OF LOCALIZED AND BRIEF URBAN OR SMALL STREAM FLOODING AND INSTANCES OF PONDING WATER ON ROADWAYS. OUTFLOWS AND GOOD SURFACE HEATING SHOULD PERPETUATE SCT CONVECTION THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY EVENING BEFORE DISSIPATING BY MIDNIGHT AREA-WIDE. WE SHOULD OBSERVE MAXIMUM TEMPS IN THE MIDDLE 80S TODAY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...WITH LOWS OF 70-73 DAYBREAK THU. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...A WEAK CYCLONIC COMPONENT TO THE MID LEVEL SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVERSPREADS THE AREA ON THURSDAY AND THEN MORE SO ON FRIDAY. THIS WILL BE A MORE FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT FOR THE SMALL SCALE VORTICITY MAXIMA THAT ARE COMING THROUGH THE FLOW. MEANWHILE A THE SURFACE THE PIEDMONT TROUGH AND TO A LESSER EXTENT (LATELY ANYWAY) THE SEABREEZE WILL ACT AS CONVECTIVE TRIGGERS. THE STRONGEST OF THE SERIES OF VORTS COMES ACROSS ON FRIDAY. CHANCE POPS BOTH DAYS AS CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WILL GENERALLY FALL INTO THE SCATTERED RANGE...WITH VALUES SLIGHTLY HIGHER ON FRIDAY. TEMPS CLOSE TO CLIMO BY DAY AND MILD AT NIGHT. PW VALUES REMAIN IN THE 1.75 TO 2.00 INCH RANGE WHILE STORM MOTION AVERAGES 15 MPH SO HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER UPDRAFTS. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...THE INCREASING STRENGTH OF THE BELT OF ZONAL WESTERLIES ACROSS THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE NATION IS GIVING GUIDANCE SOME ISSUES...MAINLY RELATED TO TIMING EMBEDDED FEATURES THEREIN. LOCALLY THIS TRANSLATES TO UNCERTAINTY REGARDING A POSSIBLE FRONTAL PASSAGE THAT OCCURS WHEN THE MID LEVEL FLOW IN THE EAST FINALLY BUCKLES INTO A TROUGH. CURRENTLY THIS IS PROGGED TO HAPPEN SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. UNTIL THEN TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER CLOSE TO CLIMO BY DAY AND BE MILD AT NIGHT. AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL BE WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED AND MAINLY DIURNAL IN NATURE...BEING DRIVEN MOSTLY BY SURFACE MESOSCALE FORCING. HIGHER RAIN CHANCES MAY BE WARRANTED FOR THE FROPA BUT ONCE AGAIN THE TIMING IS PRETTY SKETCHY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLED SLIGHTLY STARTING MONDAY BEHIND THE BOUNDARY. && .AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 18Z...A WEAK TROUGH WEST OF THE TERMINALS IN COMBINATION WITH THE SEABREEZE IS GIVING RISE TO SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA THIS AFTERNOON THROUGHOUT THE AREA. HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION TO CONTINUE WITH CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARIES IN THE AREA WITH TS ON STATION AT ALL SITES. WIND SOUTHWESTERLY AT 6 TO 12 KNOTS FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE PERIOD. THE SEABREEZE WILL BRING THE WIND DIRECTION MORE SOUTHERLY ALONG THE COASTAL TERMINALS. WITH HIGH HUMIDITIES AND MOIST COLUMN FROM RECENT RAINS AND WITH LIGHT WIND...LOOK FOR MVFR WITH FOG AROUND SUNRISE. EXTENDED OUTLOOK...VFR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY. MEDIUM CONFIDENCE FOR SHOWERS WITH A COLD FRONT TO MOVE IN FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 1152 AM WEDNESDAY...CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING ANTICIPATED ON THE WATERS TODAY BENEATH AND OUTSIDE OF CONVECTIVE CLOUDS. SEAS OVERALL 2-3 FEET...POSSIBLY 4 FT FAR OUTER PORTION WITH DOMINANT WAVE PERIODS AROUND 6 SECONDS ANTICIPATED TODAY. LOCALLY HIGHER SEAS AND WINDS NEAR TSTMS. SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM WEDNESDAY...SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD AS BERMUDA HIGH REMAINS STATIONARY AS DOES INLAND PIEDMONT TROUGH. A SLIGHT UPTICK IN WIND SPEED MAY OCCUR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY BUT OTHERWISE A GENERAL 10 TO 15 KT IS EXPECTED. SEAS WILL BE MOSTLY COMPRISED OF A SHORT PERIOD WIND WAVE AND RUN IN THE 2 TO 4 FT RANGE. THE SLIGHTLY HIGHER AFOREMENTIONED WIND SPEEDS COULD BRIEFLY ADD A FOOT AND INTRODUCE A 5 FT WAVE MAINLY ALONG OUTER FRINGES OF FCST AREA. WEAK SOUTHEASTERLY SWELL ALSO PRESENT IN WAVE SPECTRUM. LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 3 AM WEDNESDAY...AS THE FORECAST AREA REMAINS IN BETWEEN THE BERMUDA HIGH AND A PIEDMONT SURFACE TROUGH THE WIND WILL STAY OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST. WIND SPEED WILL BE A RELATIVELY UNCHANGING 10 TO 15 KT ON AVERAGE. SEAS MOSTLY COMPRISED OF A SHORT PERIOD WIND WAVE OF APPROXIMATELY 6 SECONDS WITH ONLY A WEAK SOUTHEASTERLY SWELL COMPONENT AS WELL. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SC...NONE. NC...NONE.
