Shallow convection moved across central North Carolina along and east of a progressive cold front extending southward through the southeastern United States. The storms intensified across the northeastern North Carolina by the afternoon in response to strong upper level forcing as a negative tilted shortwave trough moved through the area.

The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.
Shallow convection moved across central North Carolina along and east of a progressive cold front extending southward through the southeastern United States. The storms intensified across the northeastern North Carolina by the afternoon in response to strong upper level forcing as a negative tilted shortwave trough moved through the 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 Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 10, 2:59 PM EST, 2 hours 6 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 259 PM EST THU MAR 10 2011 .SYNOPSIS... A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 230 PM THURSDAY... A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 8PM FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL NC. THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WITH A COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWARD THROUGH WESTERN VA/NC TO JUST OFF THE COAST OF GEORGIA. A BAND OF SHOWERS HAS FILLED IN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS AND IS CURRENTLY MOVING EASTWARD INTO THE TRIAD REGION. THIS BAND OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED AS IT MOVES INTO A MORE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT. THE 19Z MESOSCALE ANALYSIS FROM SPC SHOWED 500 J/KG OF SURFACE BASED CAPE ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST WHERE DEWPOINTS HAVE SURGED INTO THE LOW TO MID 60S. DYNAMIC FORCING WILL ALSO BE INCREASING OVER THE REGION WITH STRONG DPVA AND 120-160M MID LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS (AS SEEN ON 12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS TO OUR WEST)...WITH IMPROVING UPPER DIVERGENCE IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE SOUTHERLY JET. ALL OF THIS SHOULD RESULT IN A CONTINUED RISK FOR A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH EMBEDDED FAST-MOVING BOWING SEGMENTS PRODUCING DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. ALTHOUGH THE BEST HELICITY AND SHEAR IS MOVING OFF TO THE EAST...CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO. LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO A CONCERN AS CURRENT BLENDED TPW IMAGERY SHOW VALUES RANGING FROM ABOUT 0.80 INCHES OVER THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA TO NEAR 1 INCH FURTHER EAST (WHICH IS 150-200 PERCENT OF NORMAL). WHEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE RAINFALL THAT WAS OBSERVED OVERNIGHT...URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORIES WILL BE POSSIBILITY THIS EVENING. PRECIP SHOULD END FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN PARTLY CLOUDY OVERNIGHT AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE CLOUDS AND SOME LIGHT MIXING OVERNIGHT...MIN TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 250 PM THURSDAY... FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...THE SURFACE LOW WILL BE MOVING NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE DAY...WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE LOWER MISS VALLEY AND GULF COAST. MAX THICKNESS VALUES ARE PROGGED TO BE IN THE 1300-1310 RANGE...WHICH WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES SHOULD LEAD TO BELOW NORMAL HIGHS OF MID TO UPPER 50S. THEN WITH HEIGHT RISES ALOFT AND HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING NORTHEAST FROM THE GULF COAST...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR FREEZING OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA. SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...SURFACE LOW MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES SATURDAY WILL SHIFT WINDS TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. MID LEVEL WEST FLOW DECREASES RAPIDLY SUNDAY... BUT SOME DOWNSLOPE WARMING EARLY... LIGHT SURFACE WINDS AND SUNSHINE WILL MAKE FOR SIMILAR TO A TOUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES SUNDAY THAN ON SATURDAY. AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES MID TO UPPER 60S SATURDAY...UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S SUNDAY. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES 40 TO 45 SATURDAY NIGHT... MID 30S TO LOWER 40S SUNDAY NIGHT AS SURFACE WINDS SHIFT TO NORTHEAST. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 230 PM THURSDAY... EAST NORTHEAST TO NORTHEAST FLOW EXTENDS OVER THE LOWEST 3000 FEET OR SO MONDAY NIGHT AND COLD AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES INTO MONDAY. MODELS IN AGREEMENT IN GENERATING RAIN BY MONDAY AFTERNOON... AND PERHAPS AS EARLY AS MONDAY MORNING. TIMING AND INTENSITY DIFFERENCES WITH THE APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH ARE REFLECTED IN DIFFERENCES IN SURFACE FEATURES AND INTENSITY. THE ECMWF SATURATES THE AIR COLUMN BY SUNSET MONDAY WITH DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW WHILE THE GFS IS DRIER ABOVE TEN THOUSAND FEET WITH WEST WINDS ALOFT. GIVEN THE EXPECTED WEST FLOW...A DEEP AND PROLONGED TAP OF GULF MOISTURE IS NOT EXPECTED... AND WOULD TEND TO FAVOR THE LESSER RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF THE GFS. LOW LEVEL STABILITY SUGGESTS THE OMISSION OF THUNDERSTORMS AT THIS TIME. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE WEST MONDAY MORNING... RISING TO A FIFTY PERCENT CHANCE OF RAIN MONDAY NIGHT. NORTHEAST FLOW CONTINUING INTO TUESDAY SHOULD CONTINUE TO SUPPRESS AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES. WARMER WEDNESDAY AS SURFACE FLOW SHIFT TO THE SOUTH. MONDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES TOTALLY UP IN THE AIR AND DEPENDENT ON TIMING OF RAIN AND COLD AIR. CURRENT FORECAST IS MID 50S NORTH TO LOWER 60S SOUTH. MONDAY NIGHT RAINS AND CONTINUED NORTHEAST FLOW SHOULD LOCK DOWN A COLD AIR DAMMING AIR MASS. WITH LOWEST THICKNESSES IN THE NORTHEAST... TUESDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES LOWER 50S NORTHEAST TO MID 50S SOUTHWEST. THIS COULD BE TOO WARM SHOULD THE AIR MASS BE MORE PERSISTENT. SOUTH FLOW SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE DAMMING AIR MASS BEFORE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WEDNESDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES LOW TO MID 60S... MID 60S TO NEAR 70 THURSDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S MONDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT... RISING TO LOW TO MID 40S WEDNESDAY NIGHT. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 1230 PM THURSDAY... CURRENT MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AS A COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED SHOWERS APPROACH FROM THE WEST. THIS POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM ALSO HAS A 40-50 KNOT SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN LOW LEVEL MECHANICAL TURBULENCE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS BEFORE THE JET SHIFTS OFF TO THE EAST. A BAND OF STRONG STORMS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SLOWLY TO THE EAST JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT DURING AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS NOW LIKELY FROM NEAR THE TRIANGLE AND POINTS EASTWARD (I.E. KRDU, KFAY, KRWI). LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS WITHIN THE STRONGER STORMS. WINDS WILL VEER RAPIDLY TO WESTERLY BEHIND THIS BAND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS...WITH CONDITIONS TRENDING TO VFR FROM WEST TO EAST BEGINNING EARLY THIS EVENING. THEN...SCT-BKN CLOUDS BASED AT 3500-4000 FT AGL WILL HOLD THROUGH FRIDAY WITH GUSTY WINDS FROM THE WNW FROM MID MORNING THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE... HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA WITH VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MONDAY. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MAY MOVE AFFECT THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...BRINGING A BRIEF PERIOD OF ADVERSE AVIATION CONDITIONS TO THE REGION AGAIN. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
