The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.
An upper level disturbance moved across central North Carolina and interacted with moderate to strong instability to trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms. Several of these storms became severe and produced damaging winds and a few isolated severe hail reports.
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 6, 1:42 PM EST, 1 hour 18 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 242 PM EDT FRI JUL 6 2012 .SYNOPSIS... UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO EXTEND EAST INTO THE CAROLINAS OVER THE WEEKEND...RESULTING IN PERSISTENT HOT CONDITIONS. THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH WEAKENS OVER MUCH OF THE EASTERN UNITED STATES EARLY NEXT WEEK. A SURFACE FRONT WEAKENS AND STALLS IN VICINITY OF THE CAROLINAS...MAKING FOR COOLER BUT UNSETTLED WEATHER NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 240 PM FRIDAY... THE UPPER-LEVEL SHEAR AXIS CONTINUES TO SETTLE SOUTH ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...LOCATED AS OF THIS WRITING JUST NORTH OF THE VIRGINIA BORDER WITH NORTH CAROLINA. ISOLATED SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG THE SHEAR AXIS...AS MIXED LAYER CAPE HAS INCREASED ON THE SPC MESOANALYSIS TO NEAR 1000J/KG ALONG MUCH OF THE BORDER...AND TO NEAR 2000J/KG OR GREATER NEAR A SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE STATE INTO SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA. MSAS AND THE SPC MESOANALYSIS SHOWS THE GREATER MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY OVER THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE STATE IN THE VICINITY OF THE TROUGH...AND WHILE SOME SHORT-TERM MESOSCALE MODELS LEAVE CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA DRY...GIVEN THE INSTABILITY...THE SURFACE TROUGH...AND THE SHEAR AXIS ALOFT...WILL CONTINUE WITH WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING MAINLY ALONG THE VIRGINIA BORDER AND NORTH OF U.S. 64 LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING...GRADUALLY SHIFTING AND DIMINISHING NORTH- TO-SOUTH DURING THE EVENING AS THE SHEAR AXIS AND ANY LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH IT MOVES SOUTH. BOTH THE NAM AND THE GFS SHIFT THIS SHEAR AXIS SOUTH OF THE STATE BY AROUND 06Z. THE RAP IS ONE SHORT-TERM MODEL THAT PORTRAYS A SCENARIO AS WILL BE FORECAST...WITH THE LEAST CHANCES LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND VERY EARLY THIS EVENING OVER THE SOUTHWEST PIEDMONT. GIVEN THAT THE DOWNDRAFT CAPE IS ON THE ORDER OF 1000J/KG...AN ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND THREAT IS POSSIBLE IF A STORM CAN DEVELOP AND GET STRONG ENOUGH. IN FACT... CUMULUS WAS FINALLY STARTING TO DEVELOP ON VISIBLE IMAGERY OVER PARTS OF SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA AS WELL. OVERNIGHT...ANY LINGERING SHOWERS SHOULD DIMINISH AS THE SHEAR AXIS MOVES SOUTH AND SUBSIDENCE INCREASES...LIKELY LAST AROUND THE SOUTH CAROLINA BORDER BY AROUND MIDNIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD FALL TO 70 TO 75 IN MOST LOCATIONS. WARMEST WILL LIKELY BE AROUND KMEB AND KFAY...WITH LOWS SOLIDLY NEAR 75. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 240 PM FRIDAY... THE HEAT ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR SATURDAY...WITH THE CONSENSUS OF 1000-850MB THICKNESSES FROM THE NAM AND GFS GENERALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE WARMER MOS GUIDANCE VALUES FOR HIGHS. USING A BLEND OF DEW POINTS FROM THE GFS...NAM...AND LATEST VERSIONS OF THE SREF AND ECMWF...AND TRYING TO IGNORE EXTREMES...MAXIMUM APPARENT TEMPERATURES FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON END UP BEING FORECAST FROM 104 OR 105 TO AS HIGH AS 109 IN MOST AREAS EAST AND SOUTH OF THE IMMEDIATE TRIAD. DEPENDING ON HOW FAST THE TEMPERATURE WARMS BEFORE SOME MODEST MIXING OF DEW POINTS OCCUR...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT FOR AN HOUR OR SO HEAT INDICES COULD REACH 110 MAINLY TOWARD KMEB AND KFAY. COORDINATED WITH KILM...AND FOR THIS ISSUANCE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE HEAT ADVISORY...EXPANDING IT WEST TO INCLUDE RANDOLPH AND ALAMANCE COUNTIES IN COORDINATION WITH KRNK...AND ALSO WHERE THE CURRENTLY FORECAST HEAT INDICES GET VERY CLOSE TO 105. TEMPERATURES ALOFT WARM A LITTLE ON BOTH GFS AND NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS... WITH LITTLE MOISTURE ALOFT AND A MID-LEVEL CAP THAT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME. NAM DOES FORECAST A WEAK 700MB SHEAR AXIS MOVING THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...AND THE BUFR SOUNDINGS ESPECIALLY TOWARD KFAY AND KRWI SATURDAY AFTERNOON SHOW A MORE MODEST CAP. 1000-500MB LAPSE RATES ARE ONLY AROUND 6.5C/KM...WITH SOME DIMINISHING MOISTURE IN TERMS OF PRECIPITABLE WATER FROM THE NORTH... TO AT OR BELOW 1.5 INCHES ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE VIRGINIA BORDER WHICH LEAVES PART OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA NORTH OF U.S. 64 ACTUALLY AT OR MAYBE JUST A TOUCH BELOW NORMAL FOR JULY. UNDER EXPANDING HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT...IT WILL PROBABLY BE DIFFICULT TO GENERATE DEEP CONVECTION...BUT IN A HOT AIR MASS WITH AT LEAST SOME MOISTURE...BETTER SOUTHEAST...WILL CONTINUE WITH THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF A LATE AFTERNOON SHOWER OR STORM. IF ONE WOULD OCCUR... LIKELY THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE EAST OF A LINE FROM KMEB TO KRWI. ANY DEEP CONVECTION DIMINISHES DIURNALLY...AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLOW TO FALL...WITH LOWS OVERNIGHT IN THE MID 70S AS A RULE ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. LOWS SHOULD BE WARMER...IN PART... DUE TO A GRADUALLY INCREASING SURFACE GRADIENT AS THE FRONT CURRENTLY WELL TO OUR NORTH STARTS ITS SLOW PUSH SOUTH. - DJF SUNDAY WILL SEE THE PATTERN BEGINNING TO SHIFT WITH THE MID LEVEL RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE CAROLINAS BEGINNING TO SHIFT EASTWARD AS THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER NE NOAM BEGINS TO DEEPEN. AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY DRIFT SOUTH ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY AND NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC REGION. ACROSS OUR AREA...SUBTLE CHANGES WITH REGARD TO THE SFC PRESSURE PATTERN AND THERMODYNAMIC PROFILE... NOTED SUBTLE WARMING AT 850 MB AND LOLEV THICKNESS INCREASE OF ABOUT 10M SUGGEST HIGHS ONCE AGAIN AROUND 100 WITH HEAT ADVISORY CONDITIONS LIKELY. BASED ON WARMING AND AN UPTICK IN MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WE CANNOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE HEAT INDEX REACHING 110+ AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS (ESP ACROSS OUR EASTERN ZONES)...SO EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCHES/WARNINGS MAY BE NEEDED. THIS WILL BE THE LAST HOT DAY IN THIS STRING OF ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURE DAYS. AS FOR PRECIP POTENTIAL...FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW SLIGHTLY MORE UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT COMPARED TO SATURDAY... WITH THE MID LEVELS COOLING ABOUT 2C AND AFOREMENTIONED LOW LEVEL WARMING. NOTED FAIRLY WEAK SHEAR WITH THE MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS SLOWLY DEPARTING...THUS ISOLATED TO SCATTERED MAINLY PULSE- TYPE TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. SUNDAY NIGHT THE COLD FRONT ACROSS THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTH TOWARD OUR AREA AS THE LONGWAVE TROUGH TO OUR NORTH CONTINUES TO DEEPEN. WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS GOING OVERNIGHT WITH BEST CHANCE ACROSS OUR NORTHERN HALF GIVEN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE FRONT. LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT REMAINING WARM AHEAD OF THE FRONT (LOW-MID 70S). - NMP && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 240 PM FRIDAY... MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE PATTERN CHANGE THAT WE HAVE BEEN ADVERTISING IN THE FORM OF A LONGWAVE TROUGH DEEPENING OVER THE EAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WHICH IN TURN STALLS A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE CAROLINAS DURING THIS TIME. THERE ARE MODEL DIFFERENCES WITH REGARD TO THE RESULTANT SENSIBLE WEATHER IMPACTS...WITH THE GFS MOVING SEVERAL LOW PRESSURE WAVES NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT AND THE DEEPEST MOISTURE AND BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES AND NORTHWARD...WHILE THE ECMWF KEEPS THE FRONT CLOSER TO THE COAST AND DEEPER MOISTURE AND BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN ACROSS MOST OF OUR CWA. GIVEN THE FAIR AMOUNT OF SPREAD AMONG BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEMBERS DURING THIS TIME...WILL HOLD OFF PROVIDING FINE DETAILS...BUT RATHER HIGHLIGHT THE LIKELIHOOD FOR COOLER NEAR-SEASONABLE TEMPS AND THE GOOD CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. SINCE THE ENHANCED JET FEATURES AND DYNAMICS ARE FORECAST BY THE MODELS TO REMAIN TO OUR NORTH AND WEST... HAZARDS RELATED TO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THIS TIME MAY BE MORE IN THE WAY OF FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL RATHER THAN WIND/HAIL POTENTIAL...BUT THIS CAN CHANGE TOO SO BE SURE TO CHECK BACK. FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK...THE LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO LIFT NEWD WHILE LEAVING A WEAKNESS OVER THE OH AND MS RIVER VALLEYS. MEANWHILE THE RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL BEGIN TO BUILD WESTWARD...HELPING TO INCREASE SOUTHERLY FLOW AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT ACROSS OUR AREA. AS SUCH...POTENTIALLY WET CONDITIONS MAY CONTINUE RIGHT THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. ALTHOUGH MONDAY MAY STILL SEE HIGHS IN THE LOW 90S JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT...FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK HIGH TEMPS WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL (MID-UPPER 80) WHILE CLOUDS AND PRECIP WILL LIKELY KEEP LOW TEMPS NEAR OR PERHAPS SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL (AROUND 70). && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 240 PM FRIDAY... OVERALL...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA. WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING...AND THESE FIRST SHOULD OCCUR TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE TRIANGLE...GRADUALLY SHIFTING SOUTH DURING THE EVENING THROUGH MIDNIGHT. DIFFICULT TO NOTE THE TIMING OF THESE IN THE TAFS...AND HAVE NOTED SOME VCSH IN THE FORECAST FOR KRDU...KRWI... AND KFAY...ENDING LAST AT KFAY AROUND 04Z. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THERE WILL BE SOME LOCAL MVFR CONDITIONS IN LIGHT FOG OR HAZE LATE TONIGHT...BUT AGAIN...THE CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCORPORATE IN THE 18Z VALID TAF. VFR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF ANY ISOLATED OR WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...AND ANY LATE NIGHT OR MORNING LIGHT FOG OR HAZE...CONTINUE SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY. AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA MONDAY AND WEAKENS WHILE LINGERING IN VICINITY OF THE AREA...A BETTER CHANCE OF ADVERSE AVIATION CONDITIONS DEVELOPS. ANTICIPATE SCATTERED TO AT TIMES NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...AND PERIODS OF BELOW MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES AS A RESULT. && .CLIMATE...
