What happened

The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.

Deep, moist southwesterly flow combined with strong insolation and weak disturbances aloft to produce scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. A lingering trough aloft resulted in slightly more than normal coverage for the day. Several storms became severe, producing wind damage and hail that ranged from the size of quarters to half dollars, with even one report of golf ball sized hail. Also, the very moist air mass and wet antecedent conditions resulted in some flash flooding.

What forecasters said that day

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 25, 12:44 PM EST, 1 hour 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 12:44 PM EST, 1 hour 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
144 PM EDT TUE JUN 25 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS COMBINED WITH A WEAK BUT PERSISTENT TROUGH
OF LOW PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE WORK WEEK.

&&

 .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 1010 AM TUESDAY...

SOUTHWESTERLY RETURN FLOW AROUND THE BERMUDA HIGH WILL CONTINUE
TODAY...ADVECTING IN WARM MOIST AIR TO CENTRAL NC. A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH IN THE LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS WILL LINGER THROUGH TONIGHT.
DISTURBANCES IN THE MID TO UPPER LEVELS COULD KICK OFF CONVECTION AS
DAYTIME TEMPS INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG DAYTIME HEATING
COUPLED WITH WEAK MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS PROGRESSING EAST
THROUGH THE QUASI-ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WILL SUPPORT MOSTLY DIURNAL
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON WEDNESDAY. RUN-TO-RUN VARIABILITY AMONG
THE VARIOUS NWP MODEL GUIDANCE IN THE HANDLING OF THESE MESOSCALE
FEATURES MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PIN-POINT WHICH DAY AND WHICH
GEOGRAPHIC AREA IN THE CWA WILL STAND TO SEE THE GREATEST POPS. IN
SUCH A WEAKLY FORCED ENVIRONMENT...EVEN HI-RES CAM SIMULATIONS
STRUGGLE WITH SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DETAILS. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE ON
MONDAY WAS CERTAINLY LESS THAN FORECAST...AND WITH THAT IN MIND AND
GIVEN THE DIFFERENCE FROM 24 HOURS AGO...WILL LEAVE POPS CAPPED AT
CHANCE POPS...MAXIMIZED DURING PEAK HEATING AND DROPPING OFF TO
ISOLATED/SLIGHT CHANCE AFTER MIDNIGHT. BUT IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE
THAT CERTAIN AREAS COULD SEE GREATER COVERAGE AND MAY EVENTUALLY
NEED TO INCREASE POPS INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORIES. WEAK SHEAR WILL
SUPPORT A PULSE SEVERE ENVIRONMENT WITH A CONTINUED THREAT OF HEAVY
RAIN FROM SLOW MOVING STORMS.

WITH NO AIRMASS CHANGE...WILL USE A PERSISTENT FORECAST AS A BASELINE
FOR TEMPERATURES WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ONSET TIME OF
CONVECTION AND CONVECTIVE COVERAGE COULD TRANSLATE INTO +/- 2 OR 3
DEGREES. HIGH 86 TO 91. LOWS 68 TO 73.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 245 AM TUESDAY...

WITH THE BERMUDA HIGH ANCHORED OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC...MOIST
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL PERSIST OVER THE REGION...WITH PWAT VALUES
PROGGED TO REMAIN BETWEEN 1.75 TO NEARLY 2 INCHES (HIGHEST ACROSS
THE EAST). THIS COUPLED WITH A PERSISTENT LEE TROUGH OVER THE AREA
AS WELL AS ANY WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH IN THE FLOW
ALOFT...WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER DAY OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE BEST CHANCES FOR THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CENTERED AROUND THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING
HOURS...BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE THAT A STORM OR TWO COULD
PERSIST LATER INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE WIND FIELD WILL REMAIN
WEAK (BULK SHEAR 20 KNOTS OR LESS) OVER THE AREA AND THEREFORE AM
NOT EXPECTING ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION...ALTHOUGH IT IS ALWAYS
POSSIBLE THAT A STORM OR TWO COULD PULSE UP AND PRODUCE SOME
DAMAGING WINDS. HOWEVER...THINK THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE LOCALIZED
FLOODING AS THE STORMS WILL BE SLOW MOVERS. PERSISTENT HIGHS OF
UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 DEGREES AND OVERNIGHT LOWS WITHIN A DEGREE OR
TWO OF 70 DEGREES ARE EXPECTED.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 245 AM TUESDAY...

A MORE AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL DEVELOP BY THE END OF THE
WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND AS A RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE CONUS (EXTENDING UP INTO CANADA)...ALLOWING A TROUGH TO DEEPEN
OVER THE EASTERN HALF. THERE WILL STILL BE A VERY MOIST AIR MASS
OVER THE REGION AND IN RESPONSE TO THE STEEPENING TROUGH ALOFT...THE
SURFACE TROUGH WILL ALSO SHARPEN. IN FACT...A COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH HOW FAR EAST IT
MAKES IT IS STILL IN QUESTION AND IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT IT WILL NOT
MAKE IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. NEVERTHELESS...THE
UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL PERSIST ACROSS CENTRAL NC...WITH ABOVE NORMAL
CHANCES OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED
EACH DAY. IN ADDITION...WITH INCREASING FLOW ALOFT...THE SHEAR WILL
IMPROVE OVER THE AREA AND WE SHOULD SEE MORE IN THE WAY OF ORGANIZED
CONVECTION AS WE MOVE INTO THE WEEKEND. LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES
ARE PROGGED TO DROP FROM THEIR PEAK DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK
AND THEREFORE AM EXPECTING HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE MID/UPPER 80S. NOT
MUCH CHANGE EXPECTED WITH REGARDS TO THE OVERNIGHT LOWS...WHICH
SHOULD GENERALLY BE IN THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 144 PM TUESDAY...

24 HOUR TAF PERIOD:
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THIS EVENING...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
REDUCED VISBYS AND BORDERLINE VFR/MVFR CIGS OCCURRING WITH SHOWERS
AND STORMS. SOUTHWEST WINDS CONTINUE TO BE A BIT GUSTY AT KFAY AND
KRWI BUT SHOULD DIE DOWN A BIT AFTER SUNSET. THERE IS A CHANCE AT
ALL TERMINALS OF SOME VCTS/TS THIS AFTERNOON...BUT BEST CHANCES AT
KRDU...KFAY...AND KRWI. IFR TO MVFR IN STRATUS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN
LATE TONIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING
AFTER SUNRISE. EXPECT WINDS A BIT STRONGER ON WEDNESDAY...MAINLY IN
THE EAST.

LOOKING AHEAD:
RETURN FLOW AROUND THE BERMUDA HIGH COMBINED WITH WEAK SHORTWAVE
DISTURBANCES ALOFT AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES
WILL SUPPORT MOSTLY DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH
AFTERNOON. SUB-VFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES DUE TO FOG AND LOW
STRATUS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS EACH NIGHT.
