The episode as NWS ILM wrote it up.
A slow moving front dropping down from the north and a very moist and moderately unstable environment combined to produce widespread showers and thunderstorms. One storm was briefly severe as it moved across northern Robeson County.
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 10, 1:09 PM EST, 5 hours 21 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 209 PM EDT TUE JUL 10 2012 .SYNOPSIS... AN UNSTABLE AND MOIST AIR MASS ACROSS THE REGION WILL LEAD TO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE. BUILDING BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE LATER IN THE WEEK WILL BRING SLIGHTLY DRIER CONDITIONS FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND...ACCOMPANIED BY SEASONAL TEMPERATURES. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 2:00 PM TUESDAY...CONVECTION ALREADY UNDERWAY...DUMPING STOUT BUCKETS OF H20 ALONG THE SEA BREEZE FRONT WEDGED ALONG THE COASTAL ZONES. HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER AND WEAK STEERING WIND WILL SUSTAIN A THREAT OF LOCALIZED FLOODING. THE STRONGER STORMS SO FAR HAVE PRODUCED 35 MPH WIND GUSTS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES IN HEAVY RAIN. A TSTM WATCH CANNOT BE RULED OUT LATER TODAY...PERHAPS WEST OR SW OF THE AREA INITIALLY WHERE STRONGER HEATING AND INSTABILITY SIT. SHORT-WAVE ENERGY EXITING THE NC MOUNTAINS LATER THIS AFTERNOON MAY ORGANIZE THE CONVECTION INTO A LARGER CONVECTIVE CONGLOMERATE MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA SOMETIME THIS EVENING EITHER SIDE OF 900 PM. HAVE MAINTAINED A TRANSITION TO LIKELY POP VALUES TNGT. STORM MOTION GENERALLY FROM 260 AT AROUND 15 MPH ACROSS NC BUT A MUCH MORE SLUGGISH MOTION OVER THE SC INTERIOR...10 MPH OR LESS. THUS IT SEEMS THE BETTER THREAT OF LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL RESIDE ACROSS OUR SC ZONES. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 2:00 PM TUESDAY...SUBTLE EAST COAST TROUGH WILL SLOWLY GIVE WAY TO BUILDING HEIGHTS THROUGH THE PERIOD AS A WEAK FRONT MEANDERS ALONG THE AREA. WITH THE FORCING MECHANISMS BECOMING MORE DIFFUSE...THE FRONT LOSING MOST OF ITS DEFINITION AND SUBTLE RIDGING AT THE MID LEVELS WITH THE BUILDING RIDGE...WILL SHOW A TREND OF SLOWLY DECREASING POPS ESPECIALLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WEDNESDAY STILL LOOKS WET WITH THE FRONT LYING EAST TO WEST. TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE HAS TRENDED TOWARD BETTER BUT WILL CONTINUE TO LEAN TOWARD THE GFS/MAV NUMBERS. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 2:00 PM TUESDAY...A VERY DIFFUSE FRONT WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WARRANTING THE CONTINUATION OF POPS. 500MB RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO THE AREA LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT AS THE PREVIOUS HEAT WAVE PRODUCER. POPS TREND DOWN AND WILL BE CONFINED TO MORE PIEDMONT TROUGH FAVORED AREAS AND ISOLATED SEA BREEZE ACTIVITY. TEMPERATURES WILL TREND TO NEAR NORMAL TO A FEW DEGREES ABOVE BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 18Z...AIRMASS READY TO UNLOAD ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION. MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE WE WILL SEE SCATTERED TO POSSIBLY NUMEROUS CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON. THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS WOULD SEEM TO BE OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA...AND ALONG THE SEA BREEZE. TSTMS COULD FIRE ANYWHERE GIVEN THE HIGH PWATS AND WEAK TO MODERATE OMEGA. SOME STORMS COULD HAVE HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING...ALONG WITH BRIEF GUSTY WINDS. IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE...BUT ONLY BRIEFLY. TONIGHT...CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE WELL INTO THE EVENING...SLOWLY DIMINISHING AROUND MIDNIGHT. SOME FOG/STRATUS IS POSSIBLE AGAIN TOWARD SUNRISE. WEDNESDAY...MORE OF THE SAME WITH CONVECTION EXPECTED TO REFIRE BY EARLY AFTERNOON. EXTENDED OUTLOOK...A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. OTHERWISE EXPECT VFR. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 2:00 PM TUESDAY...S-SW WINDS WILL PREVAIL OUTSIDE OF TSTMS AS BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE HOLDS OFFSHORE WITH LOWER PRESSURE INLAND. PRIMARY THREAT THROUGH TONIGHT WILL BE THE TENDENCY FOR TSTMS TO DRIFT E OVER THE INSHORE WATERS. THIS WILL LEAD TO ERRATIC AND POTENTIALLY STRONG WIND GUSTS AND DANGEROUS CLOUD TO SEA LIGHTNING STRIKES. MARINERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT RADAR TRENDS BEFORE HEADING OUT TO AVOID A WEATHER DISASTER. SEAS WILL LIKELY HOLD AT 4 FEET OR LESS OUTSIDE OF TSTMS...IN A MIX OF 2-3 FOOT SSW WIND- WAVES AND 1-2 FOOT SE WAVES EVERY 8-9 SECONDS. MARINE WARNINGS MAY BE NEEDED LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT FOR STRONG TSTMS. SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 2:00 PM TUESDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE WATERS WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY MORNING WILL BE A TRANSITION PERIOD AS THE FRONT TAKES MORE OF A COASTAL TROUGH CONFIGURATION TURNING THE WINDS TO MORE SOUTHEAST. THE GRADIENT WEAKENS AS WELL WITH WINDS TEN KNOTS OR LESS DOWN FROM 10-15 KNOTS WITH THE SOUTHWEST FLOW. SEAS FOLLOW THE WIND FIELDS ON A DOWNWARD TREND WITH 2-3 FEET. LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 2:00 PM TUESDAY...NO DEVIATION FROM A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN FOR THE MARINE COMMUNITY FOR THE WEEKEND. BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE PRIMARY FEATURE WITH THE SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW BEING ENHANCED EACH AFTERNOON BY THE PIEDMONT TROUGH AND SEA BREEZE. COULD SEE A BIT MORE VEERING LATE IN THE PERIOD A FURTHER ENHANCEMENT OF THE PATTERN BUT LOWER CONFIDENCE IN THIS OCCURRING. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SC...NONE. NC...NONE.
