The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.
Scattered thunderstorms developed as an unseasonably strong mid level trough approached the region. With a prefrontal trough serving as a low level focus and a very moist and unstable air mass in place, many of the storms became severe, producing wind damage. In addition, a brief tornado spun up in Lee 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 27, 2:35 PM EST, 1 hour 21 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 335 PM EDT SAT JUN 27 2015 .SYNOPSIS...AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE MOUNTAINS THIS EVENING. THE FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE CAROLINAS TONIGHT AND SUNDAY AND STALL NEAR THE COAST ON MONDAY. A COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR LATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY BEFORE THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES ON TUESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 335 PM SATURDAY... ...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL INCREASE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING... SCATTERED CONVECTION IS GRADUALLY INCREASING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY ACROSS CENTRAL NC. ONE AREA OF CONVECTION LOCATED ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PIEDMONT AND CENTRAL COASTAL PLAIN THIS AFTERNOON WAS DRIVEN BY A COMPACT WELL DEFINED SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN CAROLINAS. THIS AREA OF CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH AND EAST DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. OTHER THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE REGION AND THEY ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AND LIKELY GROW UPSCALE INTO CLUSTERS AND LINE SEGMENTS. CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELS GENERALLY INDICATE ONE OR TWO CONVECTIVE LINES ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP AND MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL NC THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MIDNIGHT WITH A FINAL ROUND OF SHOWERS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS EASTWARD. THE CONVECTIVE ENVIRONMENT ACROSS CENTRAL NC REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AS AN UNSEASONABLE STRONG UPPER TROUGH IS MOVING ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND OH VALLEY. A MOIST AND MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS IS IN PLACE IN THE CAROLINAS AS A SURFACE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH ACROSS VA. THE STRENGTHENING MID LEVEL FLOW WILL RESULT IN SUFFICIENT DEEP-LAYER SHEAR TO SUPPORT ORGANIZED CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND NORTHWESTERN HALF OF THE CWA WHERE 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES RANGE AROUND 30-35 KTS. INSTABILITY WAS RETARDED SOMEWHAT BY WIDESPREAD CLOUDINESS THIS MORNING AND PRIOR CONVECTION HAS RESULTED IN SOME LOCAL STABILIZATION. CAPE VALUES WILL LIKELY BE LESS THAN PREVIOUS DAYS WITH MLCAPE VALUES RANGING FROM 1000-2000 J/KG. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE MARGINAL AND RANGE FROM 5.5-6.0 C/KM. STILL GIVEN THE ANOMALOUSLY STRONG SYNOPTIC SYSTEM PROVING LARGE SCALE FORCING THE SPC MAINTAINS AN ELEVATED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THROUGH TONIGHT. IN ADDITION...SPC NOTES THAT A WATCH IS LIKELY FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN NC. THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE FROM DAMAGING WINDS BUT HAIL IS ALSO A THREAT GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS IN SUPERCELLS. THE TORNADO RISK IS SMALL BUT EXISTS GENERALLY CLOSE TO THE VA BORDER IN CLOSER VICINITY TO THE ENHANCED LOW LEVEL SHEAR NEAR A NORTHWARD ADVANCING WARM FRONT. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING ACROSS THE WEST AND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT IN THE EAST. ANTICIPATING THE EVOLUTION OF THE CONVECTION AND REFINING MANY DETAILS IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF RAINFALL IS PROBLEMATIC. HOWEVER...THE RECENT FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE WITH SEVERAL LOCATIONS EXPERIENCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND STORMS TONIGHT WILL LIKELY BE EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS...SO WE HAVE OPTED TO KEEP THE WATCH UP. -BLAES && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 250 PM SATURDAY... THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE OFFSHORE BY SUNDAY MORNING...THUS ALL PRECIP SHOULD BE EAST OF THE AREA TO START THE DAY. SKIES WILL GRADUALLY BE CLEARING THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS DRIER AIR FILTERS IN. THIS WILL RESULT IN PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. IN ADDITION...IT WILL FEEL NOTICEABLY COOLER AND DRIER (ESPECIALLY AFTER OUR RECENT HEAT WAVE)...WITH HIGHS REMAINING IN THE MID/UPPER 80S. A CLEAR AND (RELATIVELY) COOL NIGHT IS EXPECTED...WITH MIN TEMPS FALLING INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 250 PM SATURDAY... LONGWAVE TROUGHING WILL SET UP OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CONUS THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK...BEFORE FLATTENING OUT SOME BY THE END OF THE WEEK. GIVEN THIS SET UP...ANY SHORT WAVE CROSSING THE REGION WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR (MOSTLY DIURNAL) SHOWERS/STORMS...ESPECIALLY FROM WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND AS THE PIEDMONT TROUGH BECOMES BETTER DEFINED. INCREASING POPS SLIGHTLY MORE BY THE END OF THE WEEK WILL BE THE APPROACH OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT...ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT MAKE ALL THE WAY INTO NC...POSSIBLY STALLING OUT NEAR THE NC/VA BORDER. TEMPS WILL GRADUALLY MODERATE THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH MOSTLY NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL EXPECTED. && .AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 230 PM SATURDAY... 24-HOUR TAF PERIOD...WIDESPREAD CUMULUS AND STRATO-CUMULUS ACROSS CENTRAL NC HAS RESULTED IN MVFR TO VFR CEILINGS WHICH WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS. A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT AND SANDHILLS WILL LIFT NORTH THIS AFTERNOON LIKELY IMPACTING THE TERMINALS AT KRDU AND KRWI DURING THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. ADDITIONAL CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP IN CLUSTERS AND LINE SEGMENTS AND MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL NC DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS WITH PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE CONVECTION WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE STATE. ANY VISIBILITY OR CEILING RESTRICTIONS SHOULD END THE KINT AND KGSO TRIAD TERMINALS AT AROUND 03Z AND CLOSER TO 06Z AT THE KRWI AND KFAY TERMINALS. VFR CONDITIONS WITH A WEST TO NORTHWEST WIND ARE EXCEPTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD INCLUDING SUNDAY. LOOKING AHEAD... VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DOMINATE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A DRY AIRMASS ADVECTS INTO THE REGION. THE TREAT OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVES ON TUESDAY AND INCREASES ON WEDNESDAY. -BLAES && ..RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
