The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.
Persistent deep southwesterly flow resulted in a very moist and unstable air mass across the region. Weak perturbations within the flow aloft triggered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. One storm produced some isolated wind damage in Nash County.
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 9, 5:25 PM EST, 1 hour 50 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 625 PM EDT SUN JUN 9 2013 .SYNOPSIS... A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS WILL HOLD OVER THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST MONDAY...AND CROSS THE CAROLINAS EARLY TUESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 615 PM SUNDAY... ...UPDATING THE EARLY EVENING PERIOD TO REFLECT HIGHER DEW POINTS AND RAISE THE PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION A CATEGORY AND INCREASING THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS A BIT AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE CWFA...MLM THROUGH TONIGHT: THE LINGERING RELATIVELY DRY/WARM MID LEVELS (LAPSE RATES ALOFT GENERALLY AT OR UNDER 5.5 C/KM) HAS HAMPERED DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION SO FAR OVER CENTRAL NC. LOW LEVELS ARE MORE PROMISING WITH LAPSE RATES AROUND 7.5 C/KM AND DEW POINTS STILL IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S AFTER MIXING... CONTRIBUTING TO MLCAPE VALUES OF 1000-1500 J/KG... AND EFFECTIVE SHEAR NEAR 30 KTS IS DECENT... BUT IT WILL TAKE AWHILE LONGER TO OVERCOME THE UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS ALOFT. THE NAM/GFS AND CONVECTION-ALLOWING MODELS ALL SUGGEST THAT SHOWERS/STORMS WILL SPREAD IN FROM THE WEST AND SOUTH VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON... CONTINUING INTO TONIGHT... AS RAP-PREDICTED MLCAPE VALUES CLIMB TO 1500-2500 J/KG. ATTENDING THE ARRIVAL OF MID LEVEL DPVA TONIGHT... A 30-35 KT SWRLY 850 MB JET WILL NOSE INTO WRN NC LATE TONIGHT... AND UPPER DIVERGENCE WILL BE ON THE INCREASE OVER WRN/CENTRAL NC AS WELL AS THE NOW-MEAGER DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 15-20 KTS RISES TO 25-30 KTS... ALTHOUGH THE MLCAPE SHOULD DROP BELOW 800 J/KG LATE TONIGHT WITH MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES GETTING NO GREATER THAN 5.75 C/KM. BUT WITH THE INCREASING DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT MAINLY IN THE WEST COMBINED WITH PW VALUES RISING FROM 1.4-1.5 INCH TO NEAR 2 INCHES TONIGHT... WILL GO WITH LOW-END LIKELY POPS FAR WEST WITH JUST SCATTERED COVERAGE IN THE CENTRAL/EASTERN CWA THROUGH TONIGHT. SHOWERS/STORMS MAY TRAIN REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME AREA IF THEY CAN BECOME ORIENTED SW TO NE... AND ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL ON TOP OF CURRENT WET SOIL FROM RECENT RAINS COULD RESULT IN SOME URBAN FLOODING TONIGHT. BUT NO MORE THAN ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED AS THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE RAMPING UP JUST AS THE INSTABILITY WILL BE WANING. WARM LOWS 67-72. FOR MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT: TOUGH CALL ON PRECIP TIMING GIVEN THAT ANY CONVECTION TONIGHT MAY HELP STABILIZE THE LOW LEVELS ENOUGH TO DELAY DEVELOPMENT ON MONDAY. A STRONG MID LEVEL LOW WILL DROP OVER IL/IN/OH MONDAY... REACHING WRN PA/NY MONDAY NIGHT. THE MID LEVEL DPVA AND HEIGHT FALLS WILL SPREAD INTO NC FROM THE WEST LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT... IN CONJUNCTION WITH MLCAPE VALUES REBOUNDING TO 1500-2000 J/KG ACCORDING TO THE GFS/ECMWF... AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 25-35 KTS (BEST ACROSS THE NORTH). THUS... EXPECT A LULL IN COVERAGE IN THE MORNING WITH JUST RESIDUAL SHOWERS... FOLLOWED BY GOOD CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS FROM MID AFTERNOON ONWARD. EXPECT THIS CONVECTION TO SPREAD EASTWARD THROUGH THE EVENING BEFORE EXITING THE ERN CWA OVERNIGHT AS THE 850 MB TROUGH SHIFTS ACROSS THE CWA AND TO THE EAST AND AS WE DRY OUT ALOFT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE 500 MB TROUGH WITH DEPARTING UPPER DIVERGENCE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IF WE HAVE TOO MUCH CONVECTIVE DEBRIS MID CLOUDINESS MONDAY MORNING... WE MAY NOT DESTABILIZE AS MUCH AS THE MODELS SUGGEST (AND THE NAM PAINTS SUCH A SCENARIO WITH MLCAPE BARELY REACHING 1000 J/KG). BUT THE DYNAMICS ALONE SHOULD HELP FORCE NUMEROUS ORGANIZED SHOWERS AND STORMS EITHER WAY. HIGHS 82-86 (ALTHOUGH THIS COULD BE TOO HIGH IF MORNING CLOUD COVER IS TOO THICK). LOWS 65-71. -GIH && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 250 PM SUNDAY... A MID/UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS (WHICH WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING TO START THE DAY)...WITH THE BEST CHANCES BEING ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA WHEN THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE TOO IMPRESSIVE...ALTHOUGH MODELS CONTINUE TO PROG 30-40 KNOTS OF BULK SHEAR. THEREFORE...THERE WILL AT LEAST BE A LOW END SEVERE THREAT...MOSTLY ACROSS THE EAST WHERE THE FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH DURING THE HEATING OF THE DAY. IN FACT...HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO GENERALLY BE IN THE MID 80S...TEMPERED SLIGHTLY BY THE RAIN AND CLOUDS. PRECIP SHOULD COME TO AN END DURING THE EVENING HOURS AS THE TROUGH AND FRONT EXIT THE REGION. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID/UPPER 60S ARE EXPECTED. FOR WEDNESDAY...MODELS INDICATE A SURFACE TROUGH STAYING OVER THE AREA...BUT WITH SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR AND MAYBE SOME SUBSIDENCE FROM THE DEPARTING MID/UPPER TROUGH (AS SEEN IN A CAPPING INVERSION ON MODEL SOUNDINGS)...AM EXPECTING A MOSTLY DRY DAY. HOWEVER...AN ISOLATED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT. LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES ARE PROGGED TO BEGIN TO APPROACH 1430M AND WITH MORE IN THE WAY ON SUNSHINE...A WARMER DAY IS ON TAP...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD BE AROUND 70...GIVE OR TAKE A DEGREE OR TWO. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 250 PM SUNDAY... AS A MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...TROUGHING WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE EAST COAST. MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH SHOWING A FAIRLY POTENT SHORTWAVE MOVING ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE AND TRACKING ACROSS THE AREA...PROPELLING A SURFACE FRONT THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT. STRONG HEATING ON THURSDAY (HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S...MAYBE EVEN SOME MID 90S) SHOULD LEAD TO GOOD INSTABILITY. BULK SHEAR IS PROGGED TO BE ON THE ORDER OF 30-40 KNOTS (HIGHEST ACROSS THE NORTH) AND THEREFORE WE COULD SEE SOME SEVERE STORMS AS THE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE REGION...ESPECIALLY IF THE CURRENT TIMING IS CORRECT WITH IT COMING THROUGH DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. BEING THIS IS STILL DAY 5 TIME FRAME...WILL KEEP POPS IN THE HIGH CHANCE RANGE FOR NOW (MAINLY TO ACCOUNT FOR A POSSIBLE CHANGE IN TIMING)...BUT THESE WILL LIKELY HAVE TO BE RAISED SOON. CONDITIONS SHOULD DRY OUT AND COOL DOWN BEHIND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND EARLY WEEKEND. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND RISING HEIGHTS ALOFT (ALTHOUGH THE CORE OF THE MID/UPPER HIGH WILL REMAIN WEST OF OF THE REGION) WILL LEAD TO MORE SUNSHINE AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS. TEMPS SHOULD STAY BELOW NORMAL (HIGHS IN THE LOW/MID 80S...OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOW 60S) FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...BEFORE MODIFYING SOME ON SUNDAY AS THE SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS OFFSHORE. && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 200 PM SUNDAY... CURRENT VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO HOLD FOR ANOTHER FEW HOURS. IT IS WARM AND RATHER HUMID AT THE GROUND BUT STILL FAIRLY DRY AND SOMEWHAT STABLE ALOFT... AND THIS IS HOLDING BACK SHOWER/STORM DEVELOPMENT THUS FAR. THIS WILL CHANGE HEADING INTO THE VERY LATE AFTERNOON... AFTER ABOUT 21Z... WHEN A DISTURBANCE MOVING NORTHWARD TOWARD NC WILL PROMPT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS. THESE ARE MOST LIKELY TO AFFECT INT/GSO AFTER 03Z... WITH THE BEST COVERAGE AFTER MIDNIGHT... WHILE RDU/RWI SHOULD SEE MOST OF THIS SHOWER/STORM ACTIVITY HOLDING OFF UNTIL LATER IN THE NIGHT... AFTER 08Z. CIGS AND VSBYS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP AFTER SUNSET... AND MVFR VSBY WITH IFR/LIFR CIGS ARE POSSIBLE AT RDU/RWI AFTER MIDNIGHT. MVFR VSBYS AND IFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED IN AND NEAR SHOWERS/STORMS TONIGHT. THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD RECOVER TO VFR AFTER 14-15Z MONDAY... HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH AS ANOTHER DISTURBANCE APPROACHING FROM THE WSW SHOULD BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/STORMS MONDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE WINDS WILL STAY MOSTLY FROM THE S OR SSW UNDER 10 KTS INTO TONIGHT... RISING TO 10-15 KTS FROM THE SW MONDAY. LOOKING BEYOND 18Z MONDAY: ADDITIONAL NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH SUB-VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING... TRENDING DOWN IN COVERAGE BY MIDNIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN BRIEFLY AFTER MIDNIGHT... BUT IFR VSBYS IN FOG ARE LIKELY TO RETURN LATE MONDAY NIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE TUESDAY INTO THURSDAY... WITH A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE TUESDAY. CHANCE OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY WITH A PERIOD OF SHOWERS/STORMS. -GIH && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
