The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.
A cold front moving through the area overnight led to the development of showers and thunderstorms. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms developed in the late afternoon and evening, with most activity waning after midnight. Storm activity developed first across the northwest Piedmont and tracked east-southeast through the mid to late evening hours over the Coastal Plain.
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 6, 1:35 PM EST, 2 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Raleigh NC 235 PM EDT Thu Jun 6 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will move across the area tonight. High pressure will move in with less humid air for the weekend. A passing disturbance will bring unsettled weather Sunday night. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 240 AM Saturday... ..There is a Level-1 (Marginal Risk) For Severe Storms this afternoon and early evening... ...Isolated Damaging wind gusts winds is the primary threat mainly between 4-8 pm ... Central NC will lie along the southern fringes of the mid-level cyclone and associated upper trough moving through the Upper Great Lakes. The attendant trailing surface front will crossing the area overnight. Strong insolation within the 67 to 73 BL dewpoints has yielded moderate buoyancy of 1500-2500 J/kg across the area as temperatures have warmed into the mid 80s NW to lower 90s SE. A weak band of showers and storms have progressed into foothills and western Piedmont. Still expect some slight intensification as the storms over the next few hours as the storms move east into central NC. While the stronger shear resides north of the area, deep layer shear over NC of 20-25 kts will pose more of an isolated severe threat, with damaging wind gusts the primary threat, greatest between 4-8 pm. While the main band will exit the coastal plain/eastern zones between 03-05z, some isolated/widely scattered re-development of showers is possible overnight/predawn hours Friday morning as the lagging cold front and upper trough traverses the area. Lows in the mid 60s north to lower 70s SE. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... As of 135 PM Thursday... This period will be largely dry with lower humidity. The cold front is expected to be pushing through the Coastal Plain Fri morning before settling to our SE, as high pressure over MO/AR drifts eastward and into our area with a dry and diffluent NW/NNW low level flow. PWs will drop to an inch or less and remain low through at least the first half of Sat. We will see a lee trough set up over NC Sat as a second cold front pushes through the Midwest and toward our area, with PWs expected to rebound back near 1.5" as a weak mid level trough and slug of deeper moisture cross the area Sat evening/night, however point soundings show that much of this moisture is in the mid-upper levels, with minimal lower level moisture, thus expect it to stay largely dry with little more than a few sprinkles. Temps are likely to stay within a degree or two of normals for highs and lows, although perhaps a bit warmer Sat night with an expected increase in clouds. -GIH && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 231 PM Thursday... Upper level low pressure over eastern Canada and associated surface low will drag a cold front across much of the eastern CONUS on Sunday, including NC. PW's will remain at or above 1.5 inches across the area on Sunday ahead of the front, but most guidance shows precip lagging behind and not moving through NC until late in the day, perhaps as late as 00Z. I will maintain 20-30 PoPs across the area Sunday afternoon through the early overnight hours as the front moves through. Temps Sunday within the warm sector ahead of the front should easily reach the upper 80s across the western Piedmont, to the mid 90s across the southeast. Lows Sunday night likely ranging from the mid to upper 60s. In the wake of the front, broad WNW flow aloft is expected across the area through at least Tuesday. There are some ensemble solutions that suggest a trailing shortwave trough will cross the mountains and move through the area on Monday, kicking off additional showers in the process. Between the presence of a lee trough and a potential shortwave, I can't entirely rule out some isolated showers on Monday but they will be occurring within a relatively dry post-frontal atmosphere featuring sub 1.0" PW's and weak forcing. 15-20 PoPs primarily during the afternoon/early evening hours are well supported by today's ensembles. Highs Monday will range from the lower 80s in the west to upper 80s in the east. Lows in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Forecast confidence is relatively low for Tuesday through Thursday given the changing nature of the upper flow and how quickly it transitions from northwesterly to weak ridging to southwesterly. Tuesday looks to be the day where upper ridging is most likely although some isolated weak diurnal showers are still possible. As the week progresses, return flow sets up and higher PW's begin to creep northward, yet upper shortwaves and best forcing remains displaced west of the area. PoPs from Tuesday onward will be primarily diurnal in nature ranging from 20-30 percent area-wide. This time period will also feature steadily increasing temperatures with highs returning to the upper 80s. Lows in the mid/upper 60s. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 130 PM Thursday... 24-hour TAF period: Any lingering 2-3kft MVFR ceilings will lift to VFR at or shortly after 18z. A fragmented line of showers and storms associated with a pre-frontal trough is expected to move east across central NC during the afternoon and evening. The best guess is for the line and associated brief restrictions to impact KINT and KGSO between 18- 22z, RDU and KFAY 22-02z, and KRWI 23-02z. Additionally, SW gusts of 18-23 kts will continue ahead of the convection. In the wake of the convection, expect VFR conditions overnight with winds becoming W-NWLY behind the frontal passage. Outlook: A moisture starved cold front could bring some isolated showers or storms Sunday night. Otherwise, mostly dry VFR conditions are expected through Tuesday. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
