The episode as NWS ILM wrote it up.
Unseasonably warm and humid air was in place ahead of a strong cold front. The environment was characterized as high shear and modest CAPE, up to 1500 J/kg. Line segments did move into or form across the forecast area during the mid and late afternoon. Some of these segments briefly bowed out, producing strong to damaging winds.
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 Jan 11, 3:43 PM EST, 6 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
343 PM EST SAT JAN 11 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
AN ENERGETIC COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON
INTO EARLY EVENING...BRINGING THE RISK OF STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY
BRINGING DRY CONDITIONS WITH SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS ACCOMPANIED WITH WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AND OFFSHORE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
COLD HIGH PRESSURE WITH DRY CONDITIONS WILL BE THE MAINSTAY FOR
LATE THIS UPCOMING WEEK AND WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 3:30 PM SATURDAY...PRESENT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD EAST DURING THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON
AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. WE ARE EXPECTING 100 PERCENT
PRECIPITATION COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON AND HAVE MODIFIED THE FORECAST
ACCORDINGLY. OUR ENTIRE FORECAST AREA IS NOW UNDER A COUPLE OF
TORNADO WATCHES THAT EXPIRE AT 6 PM AND 8 PM RESPECTIVELY. THUS FAR
WE HAVE NOT ISSUED ANY WARNINGS...NOR HAVE THERE BEEN ANY DAMAGE
REPORTS...BUT THIS COULD CHANGE AS THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING EVOLVE.
MAJOR FOCUS FOR TODAY AND THIS EVENING REMAINS THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE WEATHER DURING HIGH SHEAR/LOW CAPE EVENT ASSOCIATED WITH AN
ADVANCING COLD FRONT AND A VERY UNSEASONABLY WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS.
INSTABILITY IS STILL EXPECTED TO REMAIN ON THE MODEST SIDE...BUT A
STRONG LLJ IN ADVANCE OF A SHARP UPPER TROUGH AND STRONG ASCENT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIGOROUS COLD FRONT IS SETTING THE STAGE FOR
POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER IN THE FORM OF DAMAGING WINDS FROM STRONG
SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS AND POSSIBLY TORNADOES EMBEDDED WITHIN LINE
ECHO WAVE PATTERNS.
THE COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE EASTERN CAROLINAS THIS EVENING
AND OFFSHORE BY AROUND MIDNIGHT. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL
END WITH FROPA...WITH MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWING A RAPIDLY DRYING
ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN IN THE PRE-DAWN HOURS OF SUNDAY. A STRONG
SOUTHERLY FLOW IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES THIS
AFTERNOON WELL ABOVE NORMAL DESPITE OVERCAST CONDITIONS...WITH HIGHS
IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S MOST PLACES. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL CONTINUE TO
RUN ABOVE AVERAGE...IN THE MID 40S...AS COLDEST AIR WILL SLIGHTLY
LAG FROPA.
WILL LIKELY BE RAISING PREVIOUSLY FORECAST QPF AMOUNTS AS SOME
PLACES INLAND HAVE ALREADY SEEN 2 INCHES WITH MORE ON THE WAY.
EXPECT MOST PLACES WILL SEE AT LEAST ONE INCH EVENT TOTALS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM SATURDAY...PROGRESSIVE WX PATTERN ALOFT AND AT THE
SFC WILL BE ON TAP FOR THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WITH AN EXITING UPPER
S/W TROF EARLY SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY A RATHER LOW AMPLITUDE S/W
UPPER RIDGE PUSHING EASTWARD AND CROSSING THE FORECAST AREA DURING
MONDAY.
AT THE SFC...THE FORECAST AREA WILL EXPERIENCE A CFP JUST PRIOR TO
THE START OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. LOOK FOR POST COLD FRONTAL
WEAK COLD AIR ADVECTION AND A TIGHTENED SFC PG TO KEEP WINDS
SOMEWHAT BLUSTERY FOR A GOOD PART OF THE DAY ON SUNDAY. SFC HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED ALONG THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE GULF OF
MEXICO WILL RIDGE/EXTEND ACROSS THE FA SUNDAY...AIDING THE
DOWNSLOPE TRAJECTORY IN THE WIND FIELD WHICH WILL HELP SCOUR OUT
ANY LEFTOVER MOISTURE. BY LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...THE
PROGRESSIVE WX PATTERN WILL RESULT IN AN ELONGATED CENTER OF SFC
HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES. WINDS WILL
RELAX AND LIKELY DECOUPLE AFTER SUNSET SUNDAY FOLLOWED BY A DECENT
SFC BASED TEMP INVERSION THAT WILL DEVELOP AND PERSIST ACROSS THE
FA SUNDAY NIGHT. VARIOUS MODEL MOS GUIDANCE KEEPS SUNDAYS MAX/MIN
TEMPS SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMS.
FOR MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT...THE PROGRESSIVE WX PATTERN
CONTINUES AS THE N-S MID-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS PUSHES ACROSS AND EAST
OF THE CAROLINA COASTS. THE CENTER OF THE SFC HIGH WILL ALSO SLIDE
OFF THE SE U.S. COAST EARLY MONDAY...AND PUSH WELL OFFSHORE
DURING THE DAY MONDAY. RETURN FLOW AROUND THE DEPARTING HIGH WILL
PRODUCE SE-S WARM AIR ADVECTION FLOW. LOOK FOR MON HIGHS AND
MONDAY NITE LOWS TO PUSH 10 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE THE CLIMO NORMS. A
MID-LEVEL S/W TROF WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST MONDAY NIGHT AND
MAY TAP SOME GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE AS WELL AS LOW LEVEL ATLANTIC
MOISTURE. THE EASTWARD MOVING SFC COLD FRONT ACCOMPANYING THE
UPPER S/W TROF WILL BE ON THE DOORSTEPS OF THE FA BY TUE MORNING.
WILL CONTINUE THE LOW CHANCE FOR LIQUID PCPN MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUE...PRIOR TO THE CFP.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM SATURDAY...THE LONGWAVE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BECOMES
BETTER ESTABLISHED DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. WITH THE UPPER TROF IN
VARIOUS AMPLIFICATION PHASES AFFECTING ROUGHLY THE EASTERN ONE-
THIRD TO ONE-HALF OF THE UNITED STATES...AND THE UPPER RIDGE
BASICALLY FROM THE ROCKIES WESTWARD TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN. MODELS
DURING THIS TIME PERIOD ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE
MANIFESTATION OF THIS LONG-WAVE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN. HOWEVER...
THEY DO DIFFER WITH THE TIMING AND AMPLIFICATION OF SUCCESSIVE
MID-LEVEL S/W TROFS THAT HELP CARVE THIS LONGWAVE PATTERN OUT.
OVERALL...VARIOUS MODEL MOS GUIDANCE INDICATE MAX/MIN TEMPS ACROSS
THE FA WILL RETURN BACK TO NEAR NORMAL DURING THE MID WEEK PERIOD.
BY THE END OF THE NEXT WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND...LATEST GFS MOS
GUIDANCE DOES INDICATE MAX/MIN TEMPS TO RUN 5 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW
CLIMO NORMS. THIS A RESULT OF THE HUDSON BAY VORTEX PARTIALLY
DROPPING OUT OF CANADA...FURTHER AMPLIFYING THE LONGWAVE UPPER
TROF ACROSS THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE U.S. PCPN CHANCES WILL BE
RATHER SMALL AND OCCUR PRIOR TO EACH CFP.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...LIFR SEA FOG/STRATUS AT KCRE SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AS STRONGER WINDS AND LIFT AHEAD OF A RAPIDLY
APPROACHING COLD FRONT OVERSPREAD THE COASTAL TERMINALS. SSW WINDS
GUSTING TO 20-30 KNOTS CAN BE EXPECTED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG
WITH MVFR CIGS. A BAND OF SHOWERS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL
PRODUCE TEMPO HEAVY RAIN/LIFR VSBYS/WIND GUSTS TO 35 KTS AT
KFLO/KLBT AND WILL MOVE EAST TO THE COASTAL TERMINALS AROUND 21Z.
ANY THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ISOLATED THUS WILL NOT MENTION IN TAFS.
GENERALLY MVFR/TEMPO IFR EXPECTED AFTER THE INITIAL BAND OF SHOWERS
MOVES THROUGH. BY 23Z THE FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH KFLO/KLBT WITH
RAIN ENDING AND FLIGHT CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR. BY 02Z THE FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH KCRE/KMYR AND KILM AROUND 03Z. VFR EXPECTED
THROUGH REMAINDER OF THE TAF VALID PERIOD WITH NW WINDS.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK...VFR BECOMING MVFR/TEMPO -RA MON NIGHT INTO EARLY
TUE WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT. VFR TUESDAY. BREEZY WED AHEAD OF A
STRONGER COLD FRONT. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN THURSDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 3:30 PM SATURDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONTINUES THROUGH THE
NEAR TERM FOR ALL WATERS AS A STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW IN ADVANCE OF A
STRONG COLD FRONT BRINGS SEAS UP IN EXCESS OF 6 FT. THE FRONT WILL
MOVE OFFSHORE BY AROUND MIDNIGHT WITH WINDS TURNING OFFSHORE.
RESULTING LIMITATION ON FETCH WILL ALLOW NEAR-SHORE WATERS TO
SUBSIDE BELOW 6 FT. HOWEVER...WINDS WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO
MAINTAIN RESIDUAL SEAS OF AT LEAST 6 FT BETWEEN 10 AND 20 NM FROM
SHORE.
SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM SATURDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL BE
ONGOING AT THE START OF THE DAY...SUNDAY...WITH COLD AIR ADVECTION
COMBINED WITH A TIGHTENED SFC PG PRODUCING W TO NW WINDS AT 15 TO
25 KT AND SIGNIFICANT SEAS AT 4 TO 7 FT AT THE START. THE
ELONGATED CENTER OF THE SFC HIGH WILL PUSH ACROSS THE WATERS
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MON. THIS WILL PRODUCE DIMINISHING
WIND SPEEDS AND SUBSIDING SIGNIFICANT SEAS...THAT WILL BOTH DROP
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA WELL BEFORE SUNDAY NIGHTFALL. FOR
MONDAY...RETURN SE-S FLOW AROUND THE DEPARTING OFFSHORE HIGH WILL
START THE DAY. THE APPROACH OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT LATE MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT WILL VEER WINDS TO SW AND INCREASE THEM AS THE SFC
PG TIGHTENS. THE INITIAL RETURN WAA FLOW WILL HAVE A DIFFICULT
TIME REACHING THE OCEAN SFC OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. THIS DUE TO
A STABLE SFC BASED MARINE LAYER WITH CURRENT SSTS ONLY IN THE 40S
TO LOW 50S. INCREASING SIGNIFICANT SEAS ARE EXPECTED LATE MONDAY...
BUT WILL BE A RESULT OF THE BUILDING WIND DRIVEN WAVES OVER THE
ADJACENT OFFSHORE WARM ATLANTIC WATERS WHICH WILL BLEED INTO THE
OUTER ILM LOCAL WATERS. SCEC OR POSSIBLY ANOTHER SCA MAY
MATERIALIZE MONDAY NIGHT. SIGNIFICANT SEAS WILL BE GOVERNED BY
LOCALLY OR ADJACENTLY PRODUCED WIND DRIVEN WAVES AT 5 TO 7 SECOND
PERIODS. LATEST WAVEWATCH3 MODEL DATA INDICATES AN UNDERLYING 1-2
FOOT LAZY ESE GROUND SWELL AT 10 SECOND PERIODS WILL CO-EXIST.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
AS OF 330 PM SATURDAY...A PROGRESSIVE WX PATTERN WILL BE ON DECK
FOR THE ILM COASTAL WATERS. NOT LOOKING FOR MUCH IN TERMS IN
SENSIBLE WEATHER...BUT MORE-SO WITH CHANGING WIND DIRECTION AND
SPEEDS AND THE LOCALLY PRODUCED SIGNIFICANT SEAS. LOOKING AT A CFP
EARLY TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY WEAK CAA AND A BRIEF TIGHTENED SFC PG
DURING TUESDAY. MODELS HAVE COME INTO A BETTER AGREEMENT THAT A
MORE POTENT SECONDARY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL OCCUR EARLY
WEDNESDAY. BETTER DYNAMICS WITH RESPECT TO STRONGER CAA AND A
TIGHTENED SFC PG WILL PRODUCE WINDS AND RESULTING SIGNIFICANT
SEAS THAT BREACH SCEC OR SCA THRESHOLDS. SIG. SEAS WILL BE
GOVERNED BY LOCALLY PRODUCED WIND DRIVEN WAVES...WITH AVERAGE
PERIODS AT 4.5 TO 6.0 SECONDS.
