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 Jul 10, 2:11 PM EST, 3 hours 44 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 311 PM EDT TUE JUL 10 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A VERY MOIST AIR MASS AND WEAK SURFACE FRONT WILL PERSIST OVER THE CAROLINAS THROUGH MID WEEK... BRINGING PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY THROUGH THURSDAY... ALONG WITH SEASONABLE COOL TEMPERATURES. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 235 PM TUESDAY... SCATTERED CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NC THIS AFTERNOON IN THE VICINITY OF A DIFFUSE SURFACE FRONT AND SOUTH OF A WEAK SHEAR AXIS ALOFT. THIS CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING IN A VERY MOIST AIR MASS WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 2.0-2.2 INCHES BUT WITH ONLY MODEST INSTABILITY RANGING BETWEEN 1000-2000 J/KG. WIND FIELD REMAINS RATHER WEAK WITH THE KRAX VWP SHOWING NORTHERLY NEAR SURFACE WINDS ALONG WITH SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS FURTHER ALOFT..ALL LESS THAN 20KTS UP TO 15KFT. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO INDICATE WIDESPREAD CLOUDINESS WITH A FEW BREAKS. RECENT RUNS OF THE CONVECTION ALLOWING HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS ARE STRUGGLING WITH THE ONGOING CONVECTION AND HAVE IT PLACED 100-200KM TOO FAR NORTH. THE 00Z RUNS APPEARED TO HAVE PERFORMED BETTER...AT LEAST THROUGH THE CURRENT TIME. NAM/RAP FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT CAPE VALUES ARE LIKELY TO RANGE BETWEEN 1000-2000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...POSSIBLY REACHING 2500 J/KG ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN AND SANDHILLS WHILE FORECASTS SUGGEST BULK SHEAR VALUES REMAIN MODEST IN THE 10-20 KT RANGE. IN GENERAL...EXPECT CONVECTION TO BECOME MORE NUMEROUS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...PEAKING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY BEFORE DINNER TIME. WITH DECREASED AMOUNTS OF DRY AIR ALOFT AND WITH LESS INSTABILITY...WE EXPECT THE AMOUNT OF SEVERE WEATHER TO BE MORE LIMITED THIS AFTERNOON THAN ON MONDAY. GIVEN THE SLOW STORM MOTION AND CONVECTION LIKELY TO BECOME ORIENTATED PARALLEL TO THE FRONT AND THE MEAN FLOW ALONG WITH A MOIST ENVIRONMENT AND WARM CLOUD PRECIPITATION PROCESSES...FLASH FLOODING REMAINS THE GREATER THREAT TODAY COMPARED TO SEVERE WEATHER. BUT WET DOWNBURSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PRECIP LOADING AND MARGINALLY ORGANIZED LINE SEGMENTS ARE STILL A CONCERN. THE THREAT OF CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT SOUTH DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. WHILE SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...THE BULK OF THE DEEP CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH AROUND OR JUST A LITTLE AFTER DINNER TIME WITH MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH REMNANT DEBRIS CLOUDS AND DEVELOPING LOW STRATUS ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. POPS WILL RANGE IN THE HIGH CHANCE/LIKELY RANGES THIS EVENING AND THEN GRADUALLY RAMP DOWN TO CHANCE/LOW CHANCE RANGE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TOWARD DAYBREAK. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE IN THE 68-73 DEGREE RANGE OVERNIGHT. -BLAES && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 310 PM TUESDAY... CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA REMAINS IN A REGION OF WEAK SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AT LOW AND MID LEVELS ON WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE STALLED SURFACE TROUGH/DECAYING DIFFUSE FRONT REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS EASTERN AND CENTRAL NC DURING THE PERIOD WITH A RATHER MOIST AIR MASS AS NOTED BY PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES THAT RANGE NEAR 1.8 INCHES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN AND SANDHILLS AREA TO 1.5 INCHES ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN PIEDMONT NEAR THE VIRGINIA BORDER. BOTH THE NAM/GFS INDICATE A SHEAR AXIS WILL PERSIST ACROSS FAR WESTERN NC AND NEAR THE VA/NC BORDER DURING THE PERIOD. WITH THIS IN MIND...WILL MAKE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO ONGOING FORECAST WHICH HIGHLIGHTS THE GREATEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. LIMITED INSTABILITY SHOULD KEEP THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT LIMITED BUT THE 12Z NAM NOTED SOMEWHAT STRONGER BULK SHEAR VALUES OF AROUND 15-25 KTS ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WHICH COULD SUPPORT STORM ORGANIZATION. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE BELOW TO NEAR NORMAL AND RANGE FROM 83-88 WHILE LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT SHOULD FALL TO AROUND 70 DEGREES. -BLAES && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 215 PM... BROAD UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO EXTEND OVER THE ATLANTIC COASTLINE OF THE SOUTHEAST STATES THURSDAY MORNING... WITH A BROAD WEAK TROUGH OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE ATLANTIC HIGH SLOWLY EXTENDED FURTHER INLAND FOR FRIDAY AND PERSISTS OVER THE SOUTHEAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. AT THE SURFACE A WEAK TROUGH IS FORECAST JUST INLAND OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BEFORE DISSIPATING IN THE WAKE OF SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW AROUND AN ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM. WEAK SURFACE TROUGHING RETURNS TO THE PIEDMONT FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK. LOW LEVEL FORCING FOR CONVECTION THURSDAY MOSTLY ABSENT OTHER THAN DAYTIME HEATING EXCEPT AS NOTED BELOW. PRECIPITABLE WATERS REMAIN HIGH AT AROUND TWO INCHES. HIGHEST POPS SOUTHEAST (70 PERCENT) WHERE SOUTHEAST FLOW POTENTIALLY FRICTIONALLY CONVERGENT... OR WITH A SEABREEZE... DROPPING TO FIFTY PERCENT NORTH. CONVECTION WILL WANE IN THE LATE EVENING... WITH SOME SHOWERS PERHAPS SURVIVING TO DAWN. MINIMAL CHANGES TO THE ABOVE SCENARIO FOR FRIDAY... SO A SIMILAR FORECAST. THE AIR MASS DRYS SLIGHTLY SATURDAY AS WINDS SHIFT TOWARD SOUTH AND OFFSHORE HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES MORE DOMINATE. AFTERNOON RAIN CHANCES 30 PERCENT THOUGH SLIGHTLY FAVORING THE SOUTHEAST. AS THE HIGH FURTHER EXERTS ITS INFLUENCE SUNDAY AND MONDAY... AFTERNOON RAIN CHANCES FALL TO ONE IN SEVEN. WITH A SURFACE TROUGH ESTABLISHING ITSELF OVER THE PIEDMONT FOR THE EARLY WORK WEEK... AND A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH... WILL INCREASE RAIN CHANCES TO THIRTY PERCENT NORTH AND SLIGHT CHANCES SOUTH. A WARMING TREND IN AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES AS MOISTURE AND RAIN CHANCES BEGIN TO DECREASE. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S THURSDAY AND FRIDAY... 85 TO 90 SATURDAY... AND UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S SUNDAY INTO TUESDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. && .AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 625 AM TUESDAY... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE EAST AND SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH THIS EVENING BEFORE AREAS OF LOW STRATUS AND FOG DEVELOP OVERNIGHT RESULTING IN PERIODS OF ADVERSE AVIATION CONDITIONS. WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN A LOOSE LINE STRETCHING FROM NORTHEAST NC TO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS ALONG WITH MORE ISOLATED SHOWERS SCATTERED ACROSS CENTRAL NC WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WILL INCLUDE A BRIEF TEMPO PERIOD FOR AN HOUR OR TWO OF THUNDERSTORMS TO HANDLE THE ONGOING CONVECTION. WHILE DEEP CONVECTION WILL WANE FAIRLY QUICKLY DURING THE EARLY EVENING...SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH THE LATE EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. NAM/RAP BUFR SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT STRATUS IS LIKELY LATE TONIGHT...SETTING UP EARLIEST IN LOCATIONS WITH STORMS AT THE TAF SITE AND LATEST AT THE KFAY. LOW CLOUDS AND STRATUS WILL BREAK UP ON WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING DURING THE AFTERNOON. LOOKING FURTHER AHEAD... AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WORK WEEK WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS WELL AS MORNING STRATUS AND FOG. THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DECREASE ON SATURDAY AND ESPECIALLY SUNDAY...BUT THE THREAT OF MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL PERSIST. -BLAES && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
