The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.
Ahead of an approaching cold front, an upper level disturbance in the southwesterly flow aloft combined with a weak to moderately unstable environment to produce scattered showers and thunderstorms. A couple of the storms became severe, causing some minor wind damage.
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 Apr 21, 2:55 PM EST, 2 hours 23 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 355 PM EDT SAT APR 21 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST AND DRIFT ACROSS OUR AREA TONIGHT. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL QUICKLY INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES ALONG THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 1035 AM SATURDAY... REST OF THE AFTERNOON...CURRENTLY TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS THE AREA WHICH IS REFLECTED IN THE 1000-850 THICKNESS AROUND 15 METERS ABOVE NORMAL. SHOULD SEE MAX TEMPS NEAR 80-LOWER 80S ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 1 WITH MID-UPPER 70S IN THE WEST. ON VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY...CLOUDS ARE OVER RUNNING THE CWA AS AN UPPER LEVEL VORT-MAX EXITS QUICKLY TO THE NORTHEAST. LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL CONTINUE TO STEEPEN UP WITH DAYTIME HEATING...INCREASING INSTABILITY (SLIGHT TO LOW END MODERATE) ACROSS THE REGION. A THREAT FOR ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL PERSIST THROUGH 8 PM WHEN BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO COOL AND STABILIZATION WILL BUILD IN. PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL BE SMALL HAIL AND POSSIBLE GUSTY WINDS. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE... AROUND MID-NIGHT SUNDAY...WHICH CORRESPONDS WITH BOUNDARY LAYER STABILIZATION. AS A RESULT...THE THREAT FROM CONVECTION OVERNIGHT WILL BE GREATEST FARTHER TO THE WESTERN COUNTIES WHERE SOME INSTABILITY WILL STILL BE PRESENT AS THE FRONT APPROACHES. -CSF/WSS THE ARRIVAL OF A COLD FRONT THAT WAS LOCATED OVER THE TN VALLEY THIS MORNING WILL INCREASE THE PROBABILITY AND COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...FIRST OVER THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PIEDMONT. THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS...IN A WEAKENING STATE OWING TO LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...SHOULD DRIFT EASTWARD ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND SANDHILLS ALONG CONGLOMERATE OUTFLOW...JUST AHEAD OF THE SLOW-MOVING COLD FRONT THROUGH MIDNIGHT OR SO. WHILE MID LEVEL FLOW WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 30-35 KTS WITH THE APPROACH OF THE AFOREMENTIONED POSITIVELY-TILTED TROUGH ALOFT...THIS STRENGTH WILL LIKELY BE INSUFFICIENT TO COMPENSATE FOR THE RELATIVE LACK OF INSTABILITY; AND ONLY MULTI-CELL STORM ORGANIZATION WITH MOSTLY SUB-SEVERE WIND GUSTS IS ACCORDINGLY EXPECTED. A SEPARATE REGIME OF PRECIPITATION WILL THEN DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT...AS A PAIR OF POTENT SHORTWAVE TROUGHS ALOFT -- ONE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND ANOTHER ALONG THE TX GULF COAST THIS MORNING -- CONVERGE TOWARD THE CAROLINAS THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY. THE ASSOCIATED FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INITIALLY-WEAK SURFACE CYCLONE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO TO THE SC US COAST BY 12Z (BEFORE RAPID INTENSIFICATION ENSUES SUN-SUN NIGHT); AND THIS SHOULD RESULT IN THE NORTHWARD SPREAD-DEVELOPMENT OF A SHIELD OF RAIN THROUGH THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CAROLINAS THROUGH DAYBREAK SUNDAY. SOME OF THE RAIN COULD BECOME HEAVY WITH AMOUNTS IN THE ONE HALF TO ONE INCH RAIN OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN...WHERE LINGERING WEAK INSTABILITY INVOF THE SLOW-MOVING COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY YIELD SOME EMBEDDED CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION CHARACTER AMIDST OTHERWISE STRATIFORM...ANAFRONTAL RAIN THAT WILL FOLLOW FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND. THE PRESENCE OF THE SLOW-MOVING COLD FRONT THROUGH THE COASTAL PLAIN BY 12Z SUN SUGGESTS WIDE-RANGING LOWS IN THE LOWER 50S IN CAA OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT...TO LOWER 60S IN THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL COASTAL PLAIN. -MWS && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 305 AM... BROAD SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES SUNDAY MORNING WILL DEEPEN AND LIFT NORTH NORTHEAST DURING THE DAY AS AN UPPER TROUGH DEEPENS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. TEMPERATURE PROFILE IS MOIST ADIABATIC ALOFT WITH INCREASING NORTHEAST FLOW IN THE WEST COOLING AND STABILIZING THE AIR MASS OVER THE WESTERN PIEDMONT. NO THUNDER. THE BEST DIVERGENCE ALOFT WILL BE IN THE EAST SUNDAY MORNING WHICH WILL COUPLE WITH GOOD LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE NEAR AND EAST OF THE SURFACE LOW. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS NEAR TWO TENTHS INCH WEST RISING TO THREE QUARTERS INCH OR MORE EAST OF INTERSTATE 95... WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH AFTER DARK SUNDAY EVENING. A COLD POOL ALOFT OVER THE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXITING UPPER LEVEL LOW ON MONDAY... BUT LIMITED MOISTURE ALOFT AND LOW LEVEL NORTHWEST SURFACE FLOW WILL KEEP RAIN CHANCES LESS THAN SLIGHT. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVING EAST OUT OF EASTERN TEXAS LATE MONDAY NIGHT WILL BEGIN TO DOMINATE NORTH CAROLINA WEATHER FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY WITH LIGHT WEST WINDS AND A DRY FORECAST. RAIN AND LOW CLOUDINESS WITH NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW WILL KEEP AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S SUNDAY... WITH LOWER 60S SOUTHEAST. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 60S MONDAY WARMING TO MID TO UPPER 60S TUESDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES 39 TO 44 SUNDAY NIGHT... MID AND UPPER 30S MONDAY NIGHT. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 355 PM... THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL DEEPEN AS THEY MOVE NORTH AND NORTHWEST FROM MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. THE DEEPENING SURFACE LOW WILL CAUSE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO STRENGTHEN MAKING FOR STRONG GUSTY WINDS MONDAY AND MONDAY EVENING...SUSTAINED 15-20 KTS WITH GUSTS OF 25-30 KTS. OTHERWISE... EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S AND LOWS MONDAY NIGHT IN THE MID 30S TO NEAR 40 IN SOME SPOTS. SIMILAR CONDITIONS TUESDAY WITH WINDS JUST A TAD LIGHTER...SUSTAINED 10-15 KTS WITH GUSTS AROUND 20 KTS. HIGHS IN THE MID 60S AND LOWS IN THE MID 40S. ONCE THE UPPER LEVEL AND SURFACE LOWS BECOME STACKED AND THE TROUGH BEGINS TO DEAMPLIFY...A SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE INTO NC FROM THE NORTHWEST BRINGING THE CHANCE FOR MORE RAIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING. THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS WILL BE ORIENTED FROM WSW TO ENE AND MOVE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS NC. THE 12Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE LOCATION OF THIS FEATURE...WITH SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN TIMING. THUS HAVE INCREASED PRECIP CHANCES FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...WITH THE BEST CHANCES THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. EXPECT HIGHS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S FROM NE TO SW WITH LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY NIGHT IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED...LEFT SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN IN FOR FRIDAY WITH DRY CONDITIONS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. HIGHS FRIDAY EXPECTED IN THE LOW 70S NORTH TO MID 70S SOUTH AND LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE LOW TO MID 50S. HIGHS SATURDAY IN THE UPPER 60S NE TO LOW 70S SW. && .AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 155 PM SATURDAY... LOW END VFR CONDITIONS CURRENTLY ACROSS THE REGION AND THIS SCENARIO WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE BULK OF THE AFTERNOON. WILL LIKELY SEE A FEW SHOWERS AND ISOLATED T-STORMS MIGRATE NE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. AVIATION CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION FROM THE NW AND AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE RAPIDLY INTENSIFIES AS IT MOVES NEWD OUT OF THE GULF OF MEXICO. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW T-STORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT THIS EVENING...AFFECTING MAINLY THE KINT/KGSO AND KRDU TERMINALS. THE FRONT WILL STALL IN THE COASTAL PLAIN AS THE SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS/DEEPENS ALONG THE FRONT IN SC. THIS WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH MVFR/IFR VISIBILITIES AND IFR/LIFR CEILINGS. AS THE STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES UP THE COAST...SURFACE WINDS WILL BECOME NLY ACROSS CENTRAL NC WITH SUSTAINED WINDS 8-13KTS AND GUSTS 14-20KTS PROBABLE. AREAS OF RAIN WILL DIMINISH FROM THE SW SUNDAY AFTERNOON THOUGH CEILINGS WILL REMAIN IFR/MVFR. A DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC WILL CAUSE WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL NC MONDAY. W-NW WINDS 15-20 MPH WILL FREQUENTLY GUSTS 30-35 MPH. THIS MAY CREATE SOME STRONG CROSSWINDS AT MOST TAF SITE (EXCLUDING KINT). WINDS WILL SUBSIDE A TAD TUESDAY WITH VFR CONDITIONS. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO LINGER WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SYNOPSIS...CSF/WSS NEAR TERM...CSF/WSS/MWS LONG TERM...KC AVIATION...WSS
