The episode as NWS ILM wrote it up.
Slow moving storms produced flooding in Elizabethtown.
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 Aug 6, 3:57 PM EST, 1 hour 48 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 457 PM EDT THU AUG 6 2015 .SYNOPSIS... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRECEDE AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THE FRONT WILL CROSS THE COAST VERY EARLY ON SATURDAY...USHERING DRIER AND COOLER CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE TUESDAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...AS A FRONT STALLS ALONG OUR COAST. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... AS OF 456 PM THURSDAY...FORECAST UPDATE TO PUSH POPS TO 100 PERCENT FOR MOST AREAS NORTH OF A LINE FROM FLORENCE AND MARION TO ELIZABETHTOWN. ALSO ADDED HEAVY RAINFALL MENTION TO THE FORECAST GRIDS AND ISOLATED FLOODING TO THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE HEAVY RAINFALL FOLKS AT NESDIS WHO ARE HIGHLIGHTING THIS AREA FOR AN ENHANCED POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND SUBSEQUENT FLOODING OVER THE NEXT 2-3 HOURS. -TRA DISCUSSION FROM 215 PM FOLLOWS... AS ANTICIPATED DIURNAL CONVECTION HAS STARTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THUS FAR STORMS ARE ON THE WEAK SIDE AND APPEAR RELATIVELY BENIGN. SPC DID EXPAND THE SLIGHT RISK AREA NORTH AND EAST WITH THE AFTERNOON UPDATE GIVEN THE SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. SPC MESO ANALYSIS SHOWS AN EXPANDING AREA OF MLCAPE ABOVE 3000 J/KG WITH LIFTED INDEX NOW IN THE -7 TO -8 RANGE. THE LACK OF ANY SIGNIFICANT CAPPING HAS RESULT IN EARLIER STORM INITIATION COMPARED TO YESTERDAY. EARLIER STORM DEVELOPMENT COMBINED WITH AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE THROUGH THE COLUMN HAS HELPED LESSEN THE SEVERE POTENTIAL SO FAR. LATEST DCAPE VALUES REMAIN AROUND 800 J/KG AND THE EARLY STORM DEVELOPMENT IS HELPING LIMIT OVERALL CAPE. HOWEVER THERE WILL REMAIN A THREAT OF WET MICROBURSTS AND AS THE COLD FRONT OFF TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST MOVES CLOSER LOW LEVEL JETTING WILL STRENGTHEN. THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT IS BEING DRIVEN TOWARD THE AREA BY A SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY CROSSING THE TN VALLEY. THIS FEATURE WILL PUSH THE FRONT INTO THE AREA LATE IN THE PERIOD AS THE SHORTWAVE STARTS TO WEAKEN AND OPEN UP. THE WEAKENING STATE OF THE WAVE/FRONT AS IT MOVES INTO THE AREA SHOULD SLOW THE FRONT DOWN AND WORK TO MINIMIZE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL...ALTHOUGH THE THREAT WILL NOT BE ZERO. STORMS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WITH STORM MOTIONS POSSIBLY EXCEEDING 20 KT AS LOW LEVEL JET PEAKS IN THE 25 TO 30 KT RANGE LATER TONIGHT. COVERAGE WILL INCREASE INTO THE HIGH CHC TO LIKELY RANGE AS THE FRONT ARRIVES IN THE AREA. PRECIPITABLE WATER APPROACHES 2.25 INCHES OVERNIGHT AND THE WARM CLOUD LAYER WILL BE ON THE DEEP SIDE...AROUND 12K FT. ALTHOUGH STORM MOTIONS WILL BE WELL OVER 10 KT THE HIGH PWATS AND DEEP WARM CLOUD LAYER MEAN TRAINING STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO DROP A LOT OF RAIN OVER AN AREA IN A RELATIVELY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME AND LOCALIZED FLOODING COULD BE A CONCERN. STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW AND CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP LOWS ABOVE CLIMO OVERNIGHT...BUT HOW FAR ABOVE CLIMO REMAINS A QUESTION. RAIN ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE AREA AT TIMES OVERNIGHT WILL HELP DROP TEMPS LOWER THAN THE AIR MASS WOULD NORMALLY SUPPORT. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 214 PM THURSDAY...CHIEF HEADLINE AND CAPTION FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY REMAINS A SOLID CHANCE OF RAIN FRIDAY FOLLOWED BY A CHANGE OF AIR MASS SATURDAY ! SIMILAR IN A WAY TO LAST WEEKEND WHERE A WEAK COLD FRONT USHERED VERY COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS ACCOMPANIED BY SEASONABLE TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL MAXIMUMS AND HOURLY TEMPERATURE TRENDS. A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER OR DOT THE COAST SATURDAY AS THE FRONT EDGES EAST OVER THE WATERS. THE FRONT WILL SLOW DOWN AND STALL OFF THE COAST SO A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A COASTAL SHOWER ON SATURDAY COULD LINGER INTO THE AFTERNOON...WITH PLEASANTLY WARM MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 214 PM THURSDAY...LOVELY SUNDAY WEATHER ANTICIPATED WITH NO MENTIONABLE POP VALUES AND LOW HUMIDITY LEVELS AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE REGION. THE OVERALL FAIR AND DRY FEEL IS APT TO EXTEND INTO MONDAY BEFORE THE APPROACH OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY ELEVATES RAIN CHANCES. FOR THE MOST PART NO ANOMALOUS TEMPERATURE TRENDS ARE EXPECTED IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY WITH SEASONABLE READINGS ANTICIPATED. BECAUSE A FRONT WILL REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY OFF THE COAST IN DAYS 4-7...BEST SHOWER CHANCES WILL RESIDE CLOSE TO THE COAST. && .AVIATION /21Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 18Z...OUR CONVECTIVE TEMP HAS BEEN REACHED...AND WE SHOULD SEE SOME DECENT COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. TIMING IS A BIT TRICKY AS THERE MAY BE AT LEAST TWO BATCHES OF STORMS...THE FIRST THIS AFTERNOON JUST WITH GENERAL HEATING AND BOUNDARIES...AND AT LEAST ANOTHER ROUND THIS EVENING WITH INCREASED MOISTURE AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF VORTS ROTATING THROUGH THE REGION. WITH PWATS HOVERING AROUND TWO INCHES...EXPECT OCCASIONAL HEAVY RAIN WITH GUSTY WINDS IN THE STRONGER CONVECTION. THE CONVECTION COULD TAPER OFF TO LIGHT RAIN THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH VARYING CEILING HEIGHTS. PRECIPITATION INDUCED FOG IS LIKELY...HOWEVER DUE TO THE CLOUD COVER DO NOT EXPECT IT TO BE TOO BAD. DID NOT FOCUS MUCH ON THE BACK END OF THE TAFS...SAFE TO SAY THAT THERE WILL STILL BE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS CONVECTION THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. EXTENDED OUTLOOK...SCATTERED STORMS SATURDAY. VFR SUNDAY. CHANCE FOR STORMS AGAIN MONDAY AND TUESDAY. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 214 PM THURSDAY...WINDS AT THE NORTH MYRTLE BEACH AIRPORT HAVE RECENTLY GUSTED TO 28 KNOTS...27 KNOTS AT WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH...AND 26 KNOTS AT THE MYRTLE BEACH AIRPORT AND SPRINGMAID PIER. THIS ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG SEABREEZE-ENHANCED GRADIENT WINDS SOUTH OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER INTERIOR NORTH CAROLINA. AN EXERCISE CAUTION HEADLINE HAS BEEN TACKED ONTO THE FORECAST THROUGH MIDNIGHT...AT WHICH POINT THE WIND SPEEDS SHOULD DIMINISH BELOW 20 KNOTS. -TRA DISCUSSION FROM 215 PM FOLLOWS... HAVE SO FAR DECIDED AGAINST RAISING ANY HEADLINES FOR THE WATERS FOR TONIGHT. LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS DOES SHOW A SLIGHTLY PINCHED GRADIENT BUT AS OF YET WINDS/SEAS AT THE BUOYS HAVE NOT RESPONDED. DO THINK SOME PORTIONS OF AMZ250 AND AMZ252 WILL EXPERIENCE 5 FT SEAS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS WINDS EVENTUALLY DO INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 KT. 5 FT SEAS ARE LIKELY TO BE OCCASIONAL AT BEST AND CONFINED TO SMALL AREAS OF EACH ZONE. SEAS ACROSS THE BULK OF THESE ZONES WILL RUN 3 TO 4 FT. ACROSS SC WATERS SEAS WILL BE SIMILAR...3 TO 4 FT...EXCEPT FOR 2 FT NEAR SHORE. SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 214 PM THURSDAY...PRIMARY MARINE HEADLINE WILL FOCUS ON A WINDSHIFT AND COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...INTO THE PRE-DAWN HOURS OF SATURDAY. IT APPEARS WE COULD FALL SHY OF ADVISORY CRITERIA BUT AN EXERCISE CAUTION HEADLINE COULD VERY WELL BE NEEDED FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY FOR 3-5 FT SEAS AND PRE-FRONTAL SW WINDS NEAR 20 KT. WINDS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT DO NOT APPEAR STRONG AND SATURDAY WILL BECOME A DAY OF IMPROVEMENT AND RECOVERY ON THE 0-20 NM WATERS. SEAS FRIDAY SW 3-5 FT EVERY 5-6 SECONDS AND A FEW STRONG TSTMS MAY IMPACT THE WATERS. OFFSHORE WINDS N-NW SATURDAY IN WAKE OF A COLD FRONT OFFSHORE. LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 214 PM THURSDAY...AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET OUT THERE SUNDAY IN OFFSHORE WINDS AND RELATIVELY LOW SEA HEIGHTS NEAR SHORE. FARTHER CHOPPINESS WILL BE GREATEST FARTHER OFFSHORE. A TRANSITION PERIOD MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA MONDAY SLIPS OFFSHORE AND RETURN S-SW FLOW ON TUESDAY POTENTIALLY IMPACTED BY SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS AS WELL ON TUESDAY...AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NEARS THE COAST. IN THIS PERIOD SUNDAY AND MONDAY REPRESENT TO FRIENDLIEST MARINE CONDITIONS ON THE WATERS. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SC...NONE. NC...NONE.
