A very moist air mass and persistent troughing along the east coast lead to another round of scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. An increase in deep layer shear as an upper level disturbance tracked near the area lead to better organization of the convection and therefore numeorus storms became severe and produced damaging wind gusts.

The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.
A very moist air mass and persistent troughing along the east coast lead to another round of scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. An increase in deep layer shear as an upper level disturbance tracked near the area lead to better organization of the convection and therefore numeorus storms became severe and produced damaging wind gusts. In addition, training storms with very heavy rain (2-3 inches) affected Stanly County and with already saturated soils from a very wet month, flash flooding occurred through the early morning hours of the 29th. In fact, several roads/bridges were washed out.
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 28, 2:00 PM EST, 1 hour 33 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 300 PM EDT FRI JUN 28 2013 .SYNOPSIS... A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS COMBINED WITH A PERSISTENT TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL RESULT IN A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 245 PM FRIDAY... THROUGH TONIGHT: LITTLE DOUBT THAT MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE AREA WILL SEE SHOWERS/STORMS IN THE NEXT 18 HOURS. ACCORDING TO CURRENT MESOANALYSES WE CONTINUE TO DESTABILIZE WITH MLCAPE ALREADY UP TO 1500-2500 J/KG AND MUCAPE AROUND 3000 J/KG. A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS HAS FORMED OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SW VA INTO THE NC MOUNTAINS... AND THIS CONVECTION IS ON TRACK TO DROP ESE THROUGH CENTRAL NC FROM MID AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING. AS EXPECTED... DEEP LAYER SHEAR CONTINUES TO IMPROVE TO 30-35 KTS... SUPPORTIVE OF ORGANIZED CONVECTION... PARTICULARLY AS THIS INCOMING LINE FEEDS ON A HIGHLY MOIST AND BUOYANT BOUNDARY LAYER WITH TEMPS NEAR 90 (THANKS TO PLENTY OF HEATING THUS FAR) AND DEW POINTS IN THE LOW-MID 70S. EXPECT CONVECTION TO BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AND STRENGTHEN AS IT TAPS INTO THIS JUICIER AIR ALONG AND EAST OF THE HIGHWAY 1 CORRIDOR. RECENT HRRR RUNS DEPICTED THIS SCENARIO FAIRLY WELL... BRINGING SCATTERED STORMS INTO THE TRIAD TOWARD 19-20Z WHICH THEN CONGEAL INTO AN ORGANIZED BAND OF STORM CLUSTERS HEADING EASTWARD THROUGH 04Z. STILL APPEARS THAT SEVERE WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE BIGGEST SEVERE THREAT LATE TODAY INTO TONIGHT GIVEN THAT WE HAVE SOME DRIER AIR NOT FAR OFF THE SURFACE AND DECENT D-CAPE AT OR OVER 800 J/KG. THE -10C TO -30C CAPE IS NOT ESPECIALLY LARGE BUT HAS RISEN A BIT IN RECENT HOURS TO NEAR 500 J/KG EAST OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN... THUS LARGE HAIL REMAINS POSSIBLE BUT IS A SECONDARY THREAT. WILL CONTINUE TO TREND POPS DOWN AND OUT GRADUALLY WEST TO EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH LOSS OF HEATING. FOG/STRATUS HAS BEEN TOUGH TO FORECAST THE LAST FEW DAYS BUT WILL LEAN TOWARD PERSISTENCE... WITH BETTER COVERAGE EAST OF HIGHWAY 1 WITHIN A VERY LIGHT SW FLOW. FOR SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT: CONTINUED WARM... DAMP... AND HUMID. WE'LL REMAIN BENEATH CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAST CYCLONIC MID LEVEL FLOW HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. MODELS SHOW THE SURFACE TROUGH SHIFTING TO THE COASTAL PLAIN SATURDAY MORNING WITH MARKEDLY LOWER SURFACE THETA-E VALUES PUSHING INTO THE WRN FORECAST AREA. EXPECT TO SEE SOME LINGERING PATCHY SHOWERS ALONG WITH AREAS OF STRATUS OVER THE COASTAL PLAIN SATURDAY MORNING... BUT WEAK TO ABSENT DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT AND TYPICALLY LOWER INSTABILITY AND LINGERING CINH THAT TIME OF DAY WILL LIMIT COVERAGE/STRENGTH OF ANY CONVECTION DURING THE MORNING... AND THE WRN PIEDMONT SHOULD REMAIN DRY THROUGH MIDDAY. WITH THE INJECTION OF ENERGY DOWN ITS WEST SIDE... THE MID LEVEL TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO DIG STRONGLY DOWN LAKE MICHIGAN INTO IN AND THE WRN OH VALLEY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT... CAUSING A BACKING OF MID LEVEL WINDS OVER NC TO A MORE SOUTHERLY DIRECTION AND A GRADUAL STRENGTHENING AND BUILDING OF THE ATLANTIC ANTICYCLONE WESTWARD TOWARD COASTAL NC. THIS WILL EFFECTIVELY LEAD TO DISSIPATION OF THE ERN NC SURFACE TROUGH WHILE THE MORE SUBSTANTIAL FRONTAL ZONE STRENGTHENS TO OUR WEST AND HIGH PW VALUES REBOUND BACK WESTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL NC WITH AN ATTENDING RESURGENCE OF HIGHER 850 MB THETA-E. THE NAM/GFS HANDLE THEIR PRECIP FIELDS DIFFERENTLY WITH THE NAM HOLDING WIDESPREAD CONVECTION TO OUR EAST AND WEST UNTIL VERY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT... WHILE THE GFS DEVELOPS CONVECTION WITH HEATING SATURDAY AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY ALONG THE HIGHWAY 1 CORRIDOR... WHICH THEN PERSISTS THROUGH THE NIGHT AS THE 2+ INCH PRECIP WATER VALUES SPREAD FROM THE COAST WESTWARD THROUGH ALL OF CENTRAL NC. THE GFS'S PATTERN LOOKS TO BE A MORE REASONABLE SCENARIO... WITH MORE SCATTERED DISCRETE CELLS IN THE FAR WRN PIEDMONT (WHERE SURFACE DEW POINTS AND HENCE INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY BE A BIT LOWER) TRENDING TO NUMEROUS CLUSTERS OF MULTICELLS ROUGHLY EAST OF A LINE FROM ROXBORO TO SILER CITY TO WADESBORO (ATTENDING THE GREATER INSTABILITY AND PW). THE BACKED STEERING FLOW AND EXPECTED ORIENTATION OF CONVECTIVE BANDS WILL BRING ABOUT A CONCERN FOR TRAINING ECHOES AND LOCALIZED URBAN AND STREET FLOODING AND SWOLLEN CREEKS STARTING SATURDAY... ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE IMPROVING UPPER DIVERGENCE OVER CENTRAL/ERN NC IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE SOUTHERLY JET TO OUR NNW. AFTER MUCH COORDINATION AND DISCUSSION... WILL NOT GO WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS YET... AS WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN HAS YET TO MATERIALIZE IN THE ERN PIEDMONT/SANDHILLS/COASTAL PLAIN WHERE THE MORE SANDY SOIL AND FLATTER TERRAIN RESULTS IN SLOWER RUNOFF... BUT URBAN AREAS WILL REMAIN VULNERABLE TO SOME FLOODING. WE WILL CONTINUE TO RE-EVALUATE AND CONSIDER THIS RISK AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS WEST SATURDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT WITH LIKELY POPS ALONG/EAST OF THE AFOREMENTIONED LINE COVERING THE CENTRAL/ERN CWA. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS NOT TREMENDOUS BUT DOES IMPROVE FURTHER TO 25-35 KTS... ALTHOUGH MODEL MLCAPE VALUES ONLY PEAK AT 800-1500 J/KG SATURDAY AFTERNOON ALONG/EAST OF HIGHWAY 1... SUGGESTING PERHAPS A MORE MOIST-ADIABATIC PROFILE THAN WE'VE SEEN LATELY. POTENTIALLY WEAKER UPDRAFTS ESPECIALLY ALOFT COULD LOWER THE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS... BUT AGAIN THE DEEP WARM LAYER (LCL TO FREEZING DEPTH NEAR 4 KM) AND PW NEAR 2 INCHES (WHICH IS NEARLY 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL) SUPPORT A HEAVY RAIN THREAT WITH WARM RAIN PROCESSES DOMINATING. HIGHS 87-91. LOWS 68-72. -GIH && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 245 PM FRIDAY... THE WELL-ADVERTISED DEVELOPING TROUGH ALOFT WILL HAVE BECOME STRONGLY AMPLIFIED AND ESTABLISHED OVER THE TN VALLEY THIS PERIOD...BETWEEN A PAIR OF ANOMALOUSLY STRONG RIDGES OVER WESTERN N. AMERICA AND THE WESTERN N. ATLANTIC. WHILE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IN ASSOCIATION WITH A LEE TROUGH/WEAK FRONT WILL HAVE DIMINISHED FROM PREVIOUS DAYS...THE PATTERN OF PERTURBED SW TO SSW DEEP LAYER FLOW WILL DRIVE NUMEROUS TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/STORMS...AMIDST A DEEP MOIST AXIS CHARACTERIZED BY PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND TWO INCHES...SUNDAY AND LIKELY THROUGHOUT SUNDAY NIGHT. DEEP LAYER SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 25-30 KTS...TO PERHAPS 35 KTS OVER THE NW PIEDMONT...WILL SUPPORT PRIMARILY MULTI-CELL BANDS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WET MICROBURSTS...AND TO A GREATER EXTENT LOCALIZED FLOODING OWING THE ANOMALOUSLY HIGH PW/S. HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE MID 80S...AND LOWER 70S FOR LOWS. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 255 PM FRIDAY... CONTINUED...IF NOT INCREASINGLY...WET. THE LARGE SCALE RIDGE/TROUGH/RIDGE CONFIGURATION ACROSS NOAM WILL GRADUALLY RETROGRESS...WITH THE TROUGH DRIFTING WESTWARD INTO THE MS VALLEY...THROUGH MID-LATE WEEK. THE PRESENCE AND PERSISTENCE OF THE TROUGH WILL KEEP MUCH OF THE EASTERN US...INCLUDING CENTRAL NC...IN A PATTERN OF PERTURBED AND DEEPLY MOIST SW TO SSW FLOW ALOFT - FAVORABLE FOR ABOVE AVERAGE PRECIPITATION CHANCES...PARTICULARLY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE PROLONGED STORMY PERIOD WILL FAVOR AN INCREASING RISK OF FLOODING WITH EACH DAY THAT PASSES...WITH OTHERWISE AN OCCASIONAL PRECIPITATION-LOADED WET MICROBURST FROM LOOSELY ORGANIZED MULTI-CELL STORM MODES DRIVEN BY GENERALLY 20-25 KTS OF MID LEVEL FLOW. ASIDE FROM THE 00Z/28TH ECMWF...THE CONSENSUS OF MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE...INCLUDING THE 00Z ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEAN...INDICATES THE PATTERN RETROGRESSION WILL ALLOW THE WESTERN ATLANTIC SUB-TROPICAL RIDGING TO EXPAND WESTWARD SUFFICIENTLY TO LESSEN PRECIPITATION CHANCES/COVERAGE - FROM NUMEROUS/WIDESPREAD TO SCATTERED - OVER EASTERN NC...INCLUDING THE RAH COASTAL PLAIN...BY MID TO LATE WEEK. HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE MIDDLE 80S...WITH LOWS 70 TO 75. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 135 PM FRIDAY... THIS MORNING'S IFR STRATUS AFFECTING RDU/RWI/FAY HAS SHIFTED EASTWARD AND MIXED OUT... AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE THIS AFTERNOON. BUT WE REMAIN IN A WARM... HUMID... AND UNSETTLED PATTERN OVER CENTRAL NC... WITH A HIGH PROBABILITY OF STORMS PARTICULARLY AT RDU/RWI/FAY MID-LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. LOCAL TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS WITH BRIEF IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS... ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SURFACE WIND GUSTS OVER 40 MPH. SCATTERED STORMS ARE EXPECTED NEAR INT/GSO AFTER 19Z... SPREADING EASTWARD TOWARD RDU/RWI/FAY AFTER 21Z AND BECOMING NUMEROUS. STORM CHANCES WILL PERSIST IN LATE EVENING AT RDU/RWI/FAY... TAPERING TO LIGHTER AND MORE PATCHY SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT. BASED ON THE PERSISTENCE OF THIS PATTERN... AREAS OF IFR/LIFR STRATUS ARE POSSIBLE AFTER 07Z TONIGHT AT RDU/RWI/FAY... BUT ONCE AGAIN THE MODELS ARE PRESENTING CONFLICTING GUIDANCE REGARDING THIS THREAT... SO CONFIDENCE IN OCCURRENCE OF A PREDOMINANT IFR/LIFR CIG IS LOW. ANY SUCH STRATUS WOULD LIFT BY 14Z SATURDAY MORNING... AND VFR CONDITIONS WOULD THEN HOLD THROUGH 18Z. LOOKING BEYOND 18Z SATURDAY... SHOWERS/STORMS AND ATTENDANT MVFR OR IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE NUMEROUS SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE NIGHT... SO EXPECT INCREASINGLY POTENTIAL FOR ADVERSE AVIATION CONDITIONS... ESPECIALLY AT RDU/RWI/FAY. WITH MINIMAL CHANGE IN THE OVERALL PATTERN OVER THE CONUS... THE RISK FOR DAILY NUMEROUS SUB-VFR SHOWERS AND STORMS (PRIMARILY FROM MID AFTERNOON THROUGH MIDNIGHT) AND SHALLOW EARLY-MORNING IFR STRATUS IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. -GIH && .EQUIPMENT...
