The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.

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 Aug 19, 2:00 PM EST, 4 hours 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 300 PM EDT WED AUG 19 2015 .SYNOPSIS...A SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL ALLOW PLENTIFUL MOISTURE TO STREAM INTO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH THURSDAY... AS A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES TRACK ACROSS THE AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST THURSDAY... THEN PUSH SOUTH OF THE REGION FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM WEDNESDAY... A SERIES OF WEAK PERTURBATIONS ALOFT INTERACTING WITH A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNSET. WHILE THE BULK OF THE CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH WITH LOSS OF HEATING...A FEW SHOWERS WILL LIKELY PERSIST/REDEVELOP INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE PIEDMONT. SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT...SHOULD SEE AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS DEVELOP ALONG WITH AREAS OF FOG THOUGH VISIBILITIES WILL GENERALLY REMAIN ABOVE A MILE. WITH A WARM HUMID AIR MASS IN PLACE...MIN TEMPS 70-75 DEGREES WILL BE THE NORM. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM WEDNESDAY... THURSDAY...A SLIGHTLY MORE SUBSTANTIAL S/W WILL CROSS CENTRAL NC DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. WHILE THE BULK OF LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE WILL OCCUR FARTHER NORTH ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION...DUE TO ITS TIMING(DURING PRIME HEATING)...SHOULD SEE SHOWERS AND STORMS INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OVER CENTRAL NC DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. EXPECT MOST OF THE SHOWERS/STORMS TO OCCUR IN VICINITY OF A SFC TROUGH THAT SHOULD LIE ALONG OR JUST WEST OF HIGHWAY 1. AGAIN...COULD SEE LOCALLY HEAVY/EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WITH THE STRONGER STORMS WHICH MAY LEAD TO MINOR FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN URBANIZED AREAS. WHILE A SEVERE STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT...BELIEVE BULK OF CONVECTION WILL REMAIN BELOW SEVERE CRITERIA. MAX TEMPS THURSDAY DEPENDENT ON PARTIAL SUN IN THE LATE MORNING- EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. IF CLOUD DECK REMAINS ENTRENCHED THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON OR IF SHOWER COVERAGE IS MORE THAN EXPECTED...THEN MAX TEMPS MAY END UP BEING 3-5 DEGREES COOLER...ESPECIALLY IN THE PIEDMONT. A SFC BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH THE S/W WILL MESH WITH THE SFC TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN PIEDMONT/COASTAL PLAIN THEN ADVANCE SEWD INTO THE COASTAL SECTION OF NC BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. THIS SFC FEATURE MAY SUPPORT A FEW SHOWERS OVERNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT...MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF I-95. NORTH-NW WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO USHER A DRIER MORE STABLE AIR MASS INTO CENTRAL NC AFTER MIDNIGHT...LIKELY NOT REACHING OUR SE COUNTIES UNTIL DAYBREAK OR LATER. MIN TEMPS UPPER 60S NW TO LOWER 70S EAST-SE. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 220 PM WEDNESDAY... FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT: FRIDAY WILL BRING A CHANGE TO A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS AS SURFACE COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON FRIDAY MORNING WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE OHIO VALLEY BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST IN ITS WAKE. ALOFT...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL HUG THE CAROLINA COAST. THIS WILL CONDITIONS DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH LITTLE THREAT FOR RAIN. THICKNESS VALUES SUGGEST TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 80S ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA TO NEAR 90 DEGREES ACROSS THE SOUTH ALL THREE DAYS. EXPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S EACH DAY. MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY: ON MONDAY THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BREAK DOWN AND FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME MUCH MORE ZONAL. A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES WILL TRY TO BRING AN ATTENDANT COLD FRONT INTO THE APPALACHIANS ON MONDAY BUT NOT CONFIDENT IN HOW FAR EASTWARD IT WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT. THE PIEDMONT TROUGH SHOULD WEAKLY DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL NC GIVING AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS SO WILL REINTRODUCE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE FRONT SHOULD CROSS THE AREA SOMETIME ON TUESDAY...BUT THERE IS NOT A TON OF MOISTURE WITH IT SO IT MAY INITIALLY PASS AS A DRY COLD FRONT UNTIL TUESDAY AFTERNOON WHEN INSTABILITY INCREASES AND IT CAN GET SOME HELP FROM OTHER SURFACE BOUNDARIES SUCH AS THE SEA BREEZE IN THE EAST. BETTER CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION IN THE EAST WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS THE SURFACE FRONT HANGS UP NEAR THE COAST AND THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE AREA...PROVIDING SOME UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT TO CONVECTION AS THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A 200 MB JET CROSSES THE CWA. HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 80S ACROSS THE NORTHWEST TO LOWER 90S IN THE SOUTH. LOWS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 60S NORTH TO LOWER 70S SOUTH. && .AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 125 PM WEDNESDAY... HIGH PROBABILITY THAT VFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING AT THE TAF SITES ACROSS CENTRAL NC. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE MVFR/IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY DUE TO SCATTERED SHOWERS/T-STORMS THAT DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY IN VICINITY OF KRWI. THERE IS A GOOD PROBABILITY OF IFR/LIFR CEILINGS EARLY THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS THE REGION WITH CEILINGS LIFTING INTO THE LOW END VFR/HIGH END MVFR RANGE BY MID DAY THURSDAY. THE PASSAGE OF AN UPPER DISTURBANCE THURSDAY AFTERNOON SHOULD TRIGGER SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH BRIEF INSTANCES OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS HIGHLY PROBABLE IN VICINITY OF THE CONVECTION. A MORE STABLE DRIER AIR MASS IS PROJECTED TO OVERSPREAD CENTRAL NC FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AS A SFC COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE POSITIONED OVER THE OH VALLEY-NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC. THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE A PERIOD OF VFR CONDITIONS. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE MOIST AND UNSTABLE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...LEADING TO INSTANCES OF MVFR CEILINGS AND SCATTERED AFTERNOON CONVECTION BY MONDAY. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
