The episode as NWS ILM wrote it up.
Lightning struck a man in Myrtle Beach.
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 29, 2:32 PM EST, 58 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 332 PM EDT SUN JUL 29 2012 .SYNOPSIS... SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE CAROLINAS EARLY THIS WEEK...ACCOMPANIED BY WAVES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK SHOULD BE DRIER AND WARMER AS SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP A HUMID TROPICAL AIRMASS OVERHEAD. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 2 PM SUNDAY...DEEP CONVECTION STARTING TO DEVELOP ACROSS MUCH OF SC AND GA HAS SO FAR HAD TROUBLE SPREADING INTO THE ILM FORECAST AREA. IT APPEARS THE SUBSIDENCE/BLOW OFF FROM VIGOROUS CONVECTION OVER THE GULF STREAM IS SUPPRESSING MOST OF THE ACTIVITY DESPITE CAPE VALUES OVER 3000 J/KG AND STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES. BESIDES THE SUBSIDENCE ALOFT...HEIGHTS HAVE RISEN SLIGHTLY FROM YESTERDAY...DECREASING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. IN ADDITION MID LEVELS HAVE BECOME A LITTLE DRIER. STILL EXPECT TO SEE SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS WITH BEST COVERAGE ACROSS SC. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH...CURRENTLY ENTERING WESTERN KY/TN...WILL PASS SOUTH OF THE REGION LATER TONIGHT. AS THIS SHORTWAVE MOVES SOUTHEAST IT WILL HELP PUSH THE 5H TROUGH AXIS EAST...MOVING THE GULF STREAM CONVECTION FARTHER AWAY FROM THE AREA WHILE ENHANCING UPWARD MOTION. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN COVERAGE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SC...INTO THE EVENING. WHILE NOT EXPECTING WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW STORMS PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS GIVEN DOWNDRAFT CAPE VALUES AROUND 1000 J/KG. SHORTWAVE TROUGH ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE 5H TROUGH OVERNIGHT THEN MOVES UP THE EAST COAST. SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION MAY CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AS THE SHORTWAVE MOVES NORTHEAST...BUT WOULD BE ENDING AROUND 06Z OR AS SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE EXITING WAVE BRIEFLY TAKES OVER. ISOLATED SHOWERS MAY RETURN LATE IN THE PERIOD AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES INTO THE BASE OF THE 5H TROUGH. AT THE VERY LEAST THIS WAVE WOULD LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AND A SLIGHT BUMP IN SURFACE WINDS...WITH BOTH HELPING KEEP LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...A SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS THE INLAND CAROLINAS MONDAY WILL WEAKEN AND LIFT TO THE NORTH TUESDAY...WHILE BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DIRECT A TROPICAL AIRMASS INTO THE CAROLINAS. IN THE UPPER LEVELS THE EASTERN U.S. TROUGH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AS SEVERAL SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES DIVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND INTO THE CAROLINAS. THE FIRST SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM THE SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY MONDAY MORNING ACROSS THE CAROLINA COASTAL PLAINS MONDAY AFTERNOON...BRINGING RATHER WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. ALTHOUGH SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL BE LIMITED TO AN ISOLATED WET MICROBURST OR TWO...THE BIGGER THREAT MAY BE HEAVY RAINFALL WITH PRECIP WATER VALUES INCREASING TO 2.0+ INCHES ALONG THE COAST WITH SLOW (10 MPH) STORM MOTIONS ANTICIPATED. SREF ENSEMBLES SHOW RATHER IMPRESSIVE +RA POTENTIAL WITH 0.25 INCH/6HR POPS AT 70 PERCENT FOR COASTAL SC MONDAY...A VERY HIGH NUMBER FROM THIS MODEL. WEST OF I-95 THE AIRMASS WILL BE DRIER AND THE UPPER TROUGH MAY PASS TOO EARLY IN THE DAY RELATIVE TO THE BEST CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL. OUR POPS RANGE FROM 30 PERCENT WEST OF I-95 TO 60 PERCENT ALONG THE COAST. MONDAY NIGHT WE'LL BE IN BETWEEN UPPER TROUGHS WITH A RELATIVE LULL IN CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL EXPECTED. A SECOND RATHER IMPRESSIVE UPPER DISTURBANCE WILL ARRIVE FROM THE WEST ON TUESDAY...LIKELY ACCOMPANIED BY ANOTHER WAVE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. 12Z MODELS DISPLAY FAIRLY LARGE TIMING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND NAM WITH THIS UPPER FEATURE...WITH THE NAM FAVORING A LATER ARRIVAL LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY EVENING. WE PREFER THE FASTER GFS SOLUTION WHICH MATCHES THE 00Z ECMWF MUCH BETTER...AND THIS IS THE REASON FOR OUR HIGH POPS INLAND TUESDAY AND ALONG THE COAST TUESDAY EVENING. CLOUDS AND OCCASIONAL PRECIP WILL HOLD DAYTIME TEMPERATURES DOWN FROM THE HOT READINGS WE'VE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED: 85-88 AT THE BEACHES TO LOWER 90S INLAND BOTH DAYS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL FALL INTO THE 70-74 RANGE. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...MID TO UPPER TROUGH RUNNING DOWN THE EAST COAST WEAKENS A BIT AS IT FLATTENS OUT AND SHIFTS EAST BY LATE WED INTO THURS. THEREFORE DEEP MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BE REPLACED BY A DEEPER W-NW DRIER FLOW. PCP WATER VALUES DROP FROM AROUND 2.2 INCHES WED MORNING DOWN TO 1.6 BY WED EVENING AND DOWN LESS THAN 1.5 INCHES BY THURS EVENING. THEREFORE CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE AND COUNTING ON CONVECTION BECOMING MORE ISOLATED. MODELS CHANGED SINCE YESTERDAY WITH REGARD TO H5 TROUGH WITH THE LATEST RUNS PROVIDING FOR A MORE OPTIMISTIC FORECAST FRI INTO THE WEEKEND AS THE MID TO UPPER TROUGH FINALLY LIFTS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SOME WEAK RIDGING ALOFT WITH HEIGHTS INCREASING FROM 588 DEM TO 591 DEM. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE INCREASED SUBSIDENCE ALOFT AND DRIER MID LEVELS. BY LATE SAT INTO SUN MOISTURE INCREASES IN THE LOWER LEVELS AS MORE UNIFORM RETURN FLOW SETS UP FORM FROM SFC UP THROUGH H7 AND THEN VEERS TOWARD THE W-SW THROUGH SUNDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW SLIGHT INCREASE IN LOCALIZED CONVECTION BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND. SUMMER-LIKE TEMPS WILL CONTINUE AS GUIDANCE KEEPS TEMPS SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL WITH READINGS IN THE 90S MOST DAYS AND 70S AT NIGHT. && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 12Z...A FEW POCKETS OF MVFR FOG OCCURRING AROUND THE CWA. LBT COULD SEE BRIEF MVFR...BUT THE REST OF THE TERMINALS WILL BE VFR. UPPER TROUGH HAS SHIFTED A BIT EAST...WITH CONVECTION OFFSHORE. THE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO REORIENT ITSELF BACK TO THE WEST THIS AFTERNOON. A LEE SIDE TROUGH...WITH A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT WILL CONTINUE. SCATTERED SEA BREEZE ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN BY EARLY AFTERNOON. THE BEST MOISTURE WILL BE TO THE SOUTH. STRONGEST ACTIVITY WILL BE FROM 21-22Z...WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS POSSIBLE. LIGHT SOUTHWEST GRADIENT TODAY. EXTENDED OUTLOOK...CHANCE OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 2 PM SUNDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW IN THE 10 TO 15 KT RANGE WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS BERMUDA HIGH AND PIEDMONT TROUGH/DISSIPATING FRONT REMAIN THE MAIN SURFACE FEATURES. SEAS 2 TO 4 FT...MAINLY BE COMPRISED OF SOUTHWEST WIND WAVE WITH A SMALL EAST-SOUTHEAST SWELL COMPONENT. SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...A WEAKENING TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE INLAND AND HIGH PRESSURE WELL OFFSHORE WILL MAINTAIN A SOUTH- SOUTHWESTERLY WIND THROUGH THE MONDAY-TUESDAY TIME FRAME. WIND SPEEDS WILL AVERAGE 15 KNOTS...WITH SLIGHTLY HIGH WINDS POSSIBLE OFFSHORE AT NIGHT AND NEARSHORE DURING THE AFTERNOONS WITH THE SEABREEZE CIRCULATION. SEAS WILL AVERAGE 3-4 FT...WITH 5-FOOTERS SHOWING UP PERIODICALLY EAST OF CAPE FEAR WHERE THE EFFECTIVE FETCH LENGTH WILL BE LONGEST. INCREASED COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE BIG STORY. MODELS SHOW AT LEAST TWO SEMI-ORGANIZED CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS AFFECTING THE COASTAL WATERS: ONE MONDAY MORNING AND A SECOND TUESDAY EVENING. EVEN OUTSIDE OF THESE "WINDOWS" WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PROBABLY DEVELOP GIVEN THE WARM... HUMID AND UNCAPPED ATMOSPHERE. LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...WILL MAINTAIN SOUTHWEST FLOW BETWEEN PIEDMONT TROUGH OVER INLAND CAROLINAS AND BERMUDA HIGH TO THE EAST. GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN SLIGHTLY THROUGH MID WEEK AND THEREFORE EXPECT SOUTHWEST FLOW A MORE SOLID 15 KTS TO 20 KTS WED. SEAS 2 TO 4 FT TUES WILL BUILD UP TO 3 TO 5 FT. WINDS AND SEAS WILL DIMINISH BUT MAINTAIN UP TO 15 KTS THURS THROUGH FRI WITH SEAS 2 TO 4 FT. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SC...NONE. NC...NONE.
