The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.
In the midst of a heat wave that feature triple digit readings, isolated thunderstorms developed late in the day across the central Piedmont of North Carolina.
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 Jun 30, 8:46 PM EST, 1 hour 24 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 946 PM EDT SAT JUN 30 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL HOLD OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES THROUGH MONDAY...RESULTING IN AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF ABNORMALLY HOT CONDITIONS OVER THE REGION. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 945 PM SATURDAY... THROUGH TONIGHT: SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE VA MOUNTAINS ARE SLOWLY MOVING TOWARD CENTRAL NC. THESE STORMS HAVE HAD A HARD TIME MAINTAINING THEIR INTENSITY ONCE THEY MOVE OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN...HOWEVER THEY HAVE BEEN PROGRESSING FURTHER IN THE LAST HOUR OR SO. THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY IMPACT AREAS NORTH OF I-40 THROUGH 06Z. TEMPS ARE STILL IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S ACROSS THE AREA. GIVEN THE STEEP LOW AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND CAPE VALUES IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG THESE STORMS ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST MIDNIGHT DESPITE SOME NOCTURNAL STABILIZATION. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS DEPICT A DISTURBANCE ON THE PV15 ANALYSIS...WHICH COULD SUPPORT STORMS LASTING A BIT LONGER. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW BECOMING SEVERE. OTHERWISE... OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE LOW 70S NORTH TO MID 70S SOUTH. HOWEVER...IF WE DO NOT SEE RAIN ACROSS THE NORTH...LOW TEMPS COULD BE A CATEGORY HIGHER THAN EXPECTED. SOME OF THE MORE RURAL LOCATIONS THAT DO NOT RECEIVE PRECIP MAY SEE LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S. THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY. -KC FOR SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT: THE MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN CENTERED OVER GA/SC DURING THE DAY WITH THE LEE TROUGH HOLDING OVER THE WRN PIEDMONT. THE SYNOPTIC FRONT SHOULD STILL BE TO OUR NORTH BUT EXPECTED TO EASE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE MIDATLANTIC REGION LATE... DRIVEN BY SHORTWAVE ENERGY DROPPING INTO THE MEAN TROUGH OVER ERN CANADA AND THE NORTHEAST STATES RESULTING IN A SLIGHT DEEPENING OF THE TROUGH AND DROP IN HEIGHTS OF A DOZEN OR SO METERS ALOFT OVER NC AS THE WESTERLIES GET NUDGED SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE VA/NC BORDER. THE CONTINUED WARM TEMPS COUPLED WITH AN UPWARD TREND IN SURFACE DEW POINT AS WELL AS COLUMN PRECIP WATER WILL GENERATE AT LEAST MODERATE IF NOT STRONG INSTABILITY SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EVENING. THE INCREASING WNW MID LEVEL FLOW AND RISING DEEP LAYER SHEAR (TO 25-30 KTS 0-6 KM) SETS THE STAGE FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER THE MOUNTAINS LATE... SPREADING EASTWARD THROUGH THE EVENING. BUT THE MODELS CONTINUE TO DISAGREE ON TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THE GREATEST STORM COVERAGE WITH THE NAM BRINGING STORMS OFF THE MOUNTAINS BY EARLY AFTERNOON WHILE THE GFS FAVORS AN EVENING TO NIGHTTIME EVENT. SREF PROBABILITIES OF PRECIP AND SIGNIFICANT SEVERE PARAMETERS SEEM TO SUPPORT NEITHER OPERATIONAL MODEL... SUGGESTING A FAVORED TIME FRAME OF 21Z-06Z FOCUSED ON AREAS EAST OF RALEIGH. WILL INCREASE POPS AND FOCUS TIMING ON THIS LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH EVENING RANGE... BUT PEOPLE ARE URGED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE LATEST CONDITIONS TOMORROW... PARTICULARLY IF OUTDOOR PLANS ARE INVOLVED. WITH THE INSTABILITY COMBINING WITH A FAIRLY POTENT CONTRIBUTION FROM DYNAMIC FORCING IN THE FORM OF MID LEVEL DPVA AND UPPER DIVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH STRENGTHENING UPPER WINDS JUST TO OUR NORTH... WE'LL HAVE A RISK OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS... WITH DAMAGING WIND AS THE PRIMARY THREAT AND HAIL AS THE LESSER THREAT. WHILE TEMPS SUNDAY MAY TOP OUT SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN FRIDAY OR TODAY (AND THIS WILL DEPEND A GREAT DEAL ON CONVECTION TIMING AND ANY POSSIBLE CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS)... WE SHOULD SEE SLIGHTLY HIGHER DEW POINTS... WHICH SHOULD MAKE ANY DROP IN HEAT INDEX VALUES NEARLY NEGLIGIBLE. SINCE SUCCESSIVE DAYS OF THIS KIND OF HEAT WITH SCANT LITTLE RELIEF AT NIGHT HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO EXACERBATE THE RISKS OF HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES... HAVE OPTED TO HOLD THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN PLACE THROUGH SUNDAY... AS THE LIKELY SMALL SLIP IN DAYTIME HIGHS WILL DO LITTLE TO AMELIORATE THE ADVERSE IMPACTS OF THIS HEAT WAVE. HAVE OPTED TO HOLD THE EXISTING HEAT WARNING IN PLACE AS IS... AS WE DO NOT WANT FOLKS TO BECOME COMPLACENT... BUT LATER SHIFTS MAY BE ABLE TO DOWNGRADE IT TO AN ADVISORY IF WE END UP SEEING MORE CLOUDS AND/OR A COOLER TREND TO TEMPS. HIGHS 99-104 AND LOWS 69-76. -GIH && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 250 PM SATURDAY... MIND-UPPER ANTI-CYCLONE TAKES A POSITION OVER THE DEEP SOUTH AND EXTENDS NORTH INTO THE OH VALLEY. THIS WILL RESULT IN A NW FLOW ALOFT OVER CENTRAL NC. THIS SUGGEST THAT THE CURRENT HEAT WAVE WILL SLOWLY ABATE AND THAT CENTRAL NC SHOULD SEE SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCES FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION. LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES MONDAY STILL A GOOD 20-25M ABOVE NORMAL...SUPPORTIVE OF MAX TEMPS IN VICINITY OF THE CENTURY MARK. SLIGHTLY HIGHER SURFACE DEWPOINTS YIELD HEAT INDICES NEAR 105 DEGREES NW AND 107-110 IN THE EAST-SE. SINCE THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE DAY OF ABNORMALLY HOT CONDITIONS...WILL GO WITH AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR MONDAY. PREFER WATCH OVER EXTENSION OF CURRENT WARNING AS THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ENOUGH CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEBRIS TO HANG AROUND MONDAY TO LIMIT INSOLATION AT TIMES. ALSO...POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED-SCATTERED CONVECTION TO INITIATE SOONER THAN LATE AFTERNOON (THOUGH TIMING OF PERTURBATIONS IN NW FLOW SUSPECT THIS FAR OUT). TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...AIR MASS WILL REMAIN QUITE WARM AND UNSTABLE WITH INCREASINGLY MOST AIR ALOFT. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED CONVECTION ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST IN THE VICINITY OF A STALLED SURFACE TROUGH WHERE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE SHOULD BE MAXIMIZED. WILL LIMIT POPS TO 30 PERCENT BUT COULD BE PERSUADED TO RAISE POPS ANOTHER 10-20 PERCENT IN LATER FORECAST ISSUANCE IF A TRIGGER MECHANISM CAN BE IDENTIFIED ALOFT. THICKNESSES A TAD LOWER SUGGESTING MAX TEMPS MAINLY IN THE 95-99 DEGREE RANGE. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 250 PM SATURDAY... MEDIUM RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE HAS COME INTO BETTER CONSENSUS OVER THE SE U.S. (MAINLY THE GFS HAS TRENDED TOWARD A SOLUTION MORE LIKE THE ECMWF) WITH A WEAKER/BAGGIER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DRIFTING INTO THEN WEAKENING/DISSIPATING OVER OUR REGION THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK. THIS SYSTEM INTERACTING WITH AVAILABLE LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY SUPPLIED BY STRONG INSOLATION SHOULD TRIGGER A 1:4 TO 1:3 THREAT OF A T-STORM WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. MODEL GUIDANCE HINTS AT UPPER RIDGE BUILDING GRADUALLY EASTWARD FROM THE MID MS-LOWER OH VALLEY BY THE END OF THE WEEK. SUBSIDENCE ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUILDING RIDGE AXIS MAY LIMIT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. TEMPS WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK AS GFS SUGGEST THICKNESSES 5-10M HIGHER THAN NORMAL. THIS SUGGEST AFTERNOON TEMPS GRADUALLY BACKING OFF EACH DAY WITH MID 90S ANTICIPATED WED-THU AND LOW-MID 90S FRIDAY-SATURDAY. && .AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 740 PM SATURDAY... VFR CONDITIONS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE 24 HOUR TAF PERIOD. HOWEVER... WE MAY SEE SOME OF THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY CURRENTLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN PIEDMONT. ANY OF THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS THAT DO MOVE INTO OUR AREA WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN (SUB VFR CONDITIONS)... WITH SOME WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50 KTS POSSIBLE. CONFIDENCE OF THIS ACTIVITY MAKING IT INTO AT LEAST NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA IS STILL LOW TO MEDIUM. THUS... HAVE ONLY INCLUDED A TEMPO FOR SHOWERS AND WIND GUST TO 25 KTS AT KINT/KGSO... WHERE WE WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING THE CONVECTION MOVE INTO OUR AREA. IF THE ACTIVITY IS ABLE TO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED THEN A LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS PRODUCING STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT ALL CENTRAL NC TAF SITES THIS EVENING INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF SUNDAY. VFR CONDITIONS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED ON SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER... CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE LATE IN THE DAY. FOR NOW HAVE LEFT OUT MENTION OF ANY SHOWERS OR STORMS... GIVEN OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN OCCURRENCE AND RESULTANT COVERAGE. ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS OF OVER 50 MPH. LOOKING BEYOND SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING... THE RISK OF STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING... ESPECIALLY AT RDU/RWI/FAY. STRONG GUSTY WINDS OVER 50 MPH IN AND NEAR STORMS ARE POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE... CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE AREAWIDE THROUGH THURSDAY OUTSIDE OF ANY MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. && .CLIMATE...
