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 Jul 9, 7:29 PM EST, 1 minute earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 829 PM EDT SAT JUL 9 2011 .SYNOPSIS... TROPICAL MOISTURE OVER THE EASTERN CAROLINAS WILL LEAD TO SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THIS EVENING. A WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH FROM THE NORTH THROUGH TONIGHT... DISSIPATING BY MONDAY. BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK ACROSS THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A PIEDMONT TROUGH DEVELOPS. A DRY AND COOLER AIRMASS WILL TRY TO BUILD SOUTHWARD AND INTO THE AREA LATE NEXT WEEK WITH THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT. THERE WILL BE AT LEAST A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE EARLY AND MIDDLE PORTION OF NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 2 PM SATURDAY...WEAK COLD FRONT HAS MOVED INTO THE AREA...EXTENDING FROM NORTHERN PENDER COUNTY WEST THROUGH NORTHERN MARLBORO COUNTY. THE FRONT WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POPPING UP AHEAD OF IT. CURRENTLY THE BEST ACTIVITY IS OVER THE SC COUNTIES...WHERE HEATING WAS MAXIMIZED. DIURNAL INSTABILITY IS BEING AIDED BY LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE JUST AHEAD OF COLD FRONT SAGGING IN FROM THE NORTH. ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD SEVERE IS NOT EXPECTED...STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES DO POINT TO STRONGEST STORMS HAVING THE CAPABILITY TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS. OUTFLOW FROM THE STORMS...WHICH ARE SLOWLY MOVING SOUTH-SOUTHEAST...MAY ENHANCE ONGOING WEAKER CONVECTION ALONG THE FRONT...OR CAUSE ADDITIONAL STORMS TO DEVELOP. DO THINK CONVECTION ACROSS EASTERN AREA WILL INCREASE IN INTENSITY...BUT IT WILL TAKE LONGER AS THESE AREA HAVE NOT WARMED UP AS MUCH AS PORTIONS OF INLAND SC. DEVELOPING SEA BREEZE COULD ALSO BECOME A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE MOVING SOUTH OVERNIGHT...THOUGH LOSS OF HEATING WILL LIKELY LEAD TO WANING PRECIP. LIFT ALONG THE WEAK FRONT DOES NOT APPEAR STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP CONVECTION GOING ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN. BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE AND LINGERING CLOUDS WILL KEEP LOWS ABOVE CLIMO...DESPITE COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM SATURDAY...DRIER AIR ALOFT WILL BE IN PLACE AT THE START OF THE PERIOD...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...AS YOU MOVE SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE SOUTH SANTEE RIVER...IT WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT TO DISLODGE MOISTURE IN THE LOWER TO MID LEVELS SUN. SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BECOME DIFFUSE AND ILL-DEFINED. THE SEABREEZE FRONT WILL SHARPEN AND SHOULD MOVE WELL INLAND SUN AFTERNOON AND EVE GIVEN THE EASTERLY FLOW IN THE LOWEST 5K FT. NO UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT EVIDENT...THUS ONLY A SMALL CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA SEEMS WARRANTED AT THIS TIME. HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BE BUILDING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD AND THIS WILL NOT ONLY AID IN SUPPRESSING CONVECTION...BUT WILL SERVE TO INCREASE THE HEAT ACROSS THE AREA. TEMPS WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S WITH A FEW UPPER 90S POSSIBLE WELL INLAND MON. HEAT INDICES WILL APPROACH ADVISORY CRITERIA IN A FEW SPOTS BOTH SUN AND MON AFTERNOON. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 3 AM SATURDAY...TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY BRING A SYNOPTIC PATTERN MORE TYPICAL OF JULY WITH A LARGE UPPER RIDGE IN PLACE. THE NORMAL BERMUDA HIGH WILL BE DISPLACED TO THE EAST HOWEVER AND THIS WILL PREVENT MUCH MOISTURE RECOVERY FROM THE SUNDAY DRYING. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL BUT RAIN CHANCES DON'T LOOK TOO GOOD. THE RIDGE ALOFT WILL ALREADY BE RETREATING WESTWARD BY WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT MAY SLOWLY TRAVERSE THE CAROLINAS NORTH TO SOUTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THIS WILL CURB THE HEAT AND SLIGHTLY INCREASE RAIN CHANCES. AGAIN THOUGH WITH THE ABSENCE OF MUCH MOISTURE FLUX AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY EVEN THIS INCREASE IN POPS MAY ONLY WARRANT SLIGHT CHANCE. && .AVIATION /01Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 00Z...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE VALID PERIOD...WITH EXCEPTION OF POTENTIAL FOG/STRATUS DEVELOPMENT THAT MAY CAUSE MVFR RESTRICTIONS THIS EVENING INTO SUNDAY MORNING. MOST OF THE SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY HAS TAPERED OFF ACROSS THE AREA...EXCEPT FOR A LARGE AREA OF HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUING TO AFFECT AREAS NEAR AND WEST OF WHITEVILLE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. DO NOT FORESEE ANY SHRA/TSRA AFFECTING ANY OF THE TERMINALS...EXCEPT AT KLBT WHICH HAVE INDICATED WITH VCSH. ATTM...MVFR RESTRICTING FOG HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED AT KCRE/KMYR. EXPECT FOG/POSSIBLE TRANSITION TO STRATUS DEVELOPMENT AT COAST/TO DANCE BETWEEN VFR/MVFR CATEGORIES FOR MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. KMYR DID RECEIVE MORE RAINFALL THAN KCRE...WHICH MAY INDICATE ANY RESTRICTIONS BEING MORE OF AN IMPACT AT KMYR. IN ADDITION...HAVE INCLUDED MVFR VSBY RESTRICTIONS AT ALL TERMINALS OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY MORNING DUE TO FOG/STRATUS DEVELOPMENT. THIS WILL DISSIPATE BY MID MORNING...GIVING WAY TO VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE VALID PERIOD. WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL BE SOUTHWEST AND LIGHT...AIDING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOG/STRATUS AREA WIDE. WINDS WILL SHIFT NORTHEAST AND INCREASE UP TO AROUND 10KTS BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. EXTENDED OUTLOOK...EXPECT VFR MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BRIEF PERIODS OF FOG IN THE MORNING. POSSIBLE SCATTERED SHOWERS TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH ANOTHER WEAK FRONT. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 2 PM SATURDAY...SOUTHWEST WINDS CONTINUE A SLOW WEAKENING TREND AS SURFACE GRADIENT CONTINUES TO RELAX. APPROACH AND PASSAGE OF WEAKEN COLD FRONT FROM THE NORTH WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE WINDS TO SHIFT FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTH-NORTHEAST THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. CURRENTLY WINDS ARE BETWEEN 10 AND 15 KT BUT WILL DROP UNDER 10 KT AND BECOME HIGHLY VARIABLE IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT. LACK OF SIGNIFICANT GRADIENT POST FRONT WILL KEEP NORTHERLY FLOW 10 KT OR LESS. SEAS 3 TO 5 FT THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY A 3 TO 5 FT SOUTHERLY 8 SEC SWELL...WILL DROPPING TO 2 TO 4 FT BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 3 PM SATURDAY...FRONT SHOULD BE SOUTH OF THE AREA AT START OF PERIOD AND THEN BECOME DIFFUSE AND ILL-DEFINED INTO MON. SEABREEZE SHOULD MAKE GOOD INLAND PROGRESS BOTH DAYS. PIEDMONT TROUGH SHOULD DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON...HELPING TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE WATERS. WINDS AT THE START OF THE PERIOD SHOULD BE LIGHT AND EASTERLY...TRENDING TOWARD SE SUN AFTERNOON AND INCREASING AS SEABREEZE MOVES INLAND. ONCE SEABREEZE DISSIPATES DURING THE EVE...WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT AND RATHER VARIABLE AFTER DARK SUN NIGHT. SSE WINDS WILL INCREASE AS SEABREEZE SHARPENS MON AFTERNOON AND EVE WITH WINDS VEERING TO SW MON NIGHT AS LOW-LEVEL NOCTURNAL JET DEVELOPS. WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION CRITERIA THROUGH THE PERIOD. AN 8 TO 9 SECOND SE SWELL WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE PERIOD. LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 3 AM SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE NORMALLY IN THE WEST ATLANTIC ON TUESDAY WILL BE FURTHER EAST INTO THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC. LOCALLY THIS WILL WILL YIELD A TYPICAL SOUTHWESTERLY WIND DIRECTION. THE DISPLACEMENT OF THE HIGH WILL LEAD TO A LESSER GRADIENT AND LOWER WIND SPEED THAN NORMAL BUT THIS WILL BE LARGELY COMPENSATED FOR BY A WELL DEVELOPED PIEDMONT TROUGH. A COLD FRONT MANAGES TO ENTER THE WATERS LATER WEDNESDAY VEERING THE WINDS AROUND TO A MORE ONSHORE DIRECTION. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SC...NONE. NC...NONE.
