What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 10, 4:25 PM EDT, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 10, 4:25 PM EDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 425 PM EDT TUE MAY 10 2011 .SYNOPSIS... A WARM FRONT STRETCHING FROM KENTUCKY...THROUGH EXTREME WESTERN VIRGINIA AND INTO NORTH CAROLINA WILL PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY ACROSS OUR REGION. A STRONG DISTURBANCE PUSHING OVER THE REGION TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN A CHANCE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA FOOTHILLS INTO SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING...AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF WEDNESDAY AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES OVER A WARM FRONT...WHICH IS CURRENTLY SITUATED FROM KENTUCKY...THROUGH EXTREME WESTERN VIRGINIA...INTO WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. WHILE A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED ACROSS OUR AREA...IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE BRUNT OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS STILL OVER KENTUCKY...AND WILL NOT ARRIVE INTO OUR AREA UNTIL LATER THIS EVENING. IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT...WHICH BRINGS WITH IT THE POSSIBILITY OF LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...WE ARE ALSO CONSIDERING THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING DUE TO ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE FROM STORMS WHICH DEVELOP REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS...WHICH MAY BE CAPABLE OF DROPPING SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL DECREASE THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF WEDNESDAY...WITH RESIDUAL CLOUD COVER HANGING ON THROUGH SUNRISE. DO NOT EXPECT MUCH CHANGE IN THE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH TOMORROW...WHICH WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST...ALBEIT NOT AS INTENSE OR AS WIDESPREAD. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... GOOD SURFACE CONVERGENCE INTO THE SW VA/NW NC MTNS JUST TO THE EAST OF A PESKY WARM FRONT WILL KEEP SHWS AND STORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR THE WESTERN CWA. AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG UPPER LOW ENTERS THE WESTERN OHIO VALLEY ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...STORMS WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS THAN ELEVATED CONVECTION GENERALLY ON THURSDAY. DESPITE H85 TEMPS IN THE LOWER TEENS...MAX T WILL BE LIMITED BY DESTRUCTIVE SUNSHINE. EXPECTING RATHER SIMILAR TEMPS ACROSS THE CWA WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 70S. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... BIGGEST CHG TO THE LONG RANGE SUITE WAS A SOUTHERN SHIFT TO THE TRACY OF THE CLOSED GYRE DRIFTING THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. THE ECMWF TAKES THE SYSTEM ALL THE WAY TO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE BY TUESDAY...SOMETHING WHICH WAS NOT SHOWN IN THE 0Z GFS RUN. NOW THE 12Z GFS IS SHOWING A MORE SOUTHERN TRACK...BUT LESS EXTREME THAN THE ECMWF. WHATEVER TRACK VERIFIES WILL NOT HAVE MUCH AFFECT ON WEATHER...WITH SEVERAL DAYS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED. THE MORE SOUTHERN TRACK WOULD PROBABLY MEAN COOLER TEMPS INTO THE EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND THE INHERITED FORECAST ALREADY IS ON THE COLD SIDE OF GUIDANCE. WITH SLOW MOVING STORMS LIKELY...AGAIN THERE EXISTS THE POTENTIAL FOR WATER PROBLEMS AT THE END OF THE WEEKEND AND THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK. && .AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE WARM FRONT HAS ENTERED EXTREME WESTERN VIRGINIA THIS AFTERNOON...NOT FAR TO THE WEST OF BLF. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE JUST STARTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY WITHIN THE PAST 1 TO 2 HOURS...A TREND THAT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AS THIS ACTIVITY MOVES INTO OUR AREA BEGINNING LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL PEAK THIS EVENING AROUND 11/01Z...WITH LWB...BLF AND BCB LIKELY TO HAVE TSTMS ON STATION. THE THREAT DECREASES FURTHER TO THE EAST...HOWEVER STILL FEEL THAT ROA...LYH AND DAN HAVE A STRONG ENOUGH CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LATE THIS EVENING THAT HAVE INTRODUCED WORDING IN THEIR TAFS. HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY WITH THIS EVENINGS THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...WHICH MAY CAUSE VISIBILITIES TO TEMPORARILY FALL BELOW ONE HALF MILE. IN ADDITION...STORMS AFFECTING BLF...LWB...BCB...AND ROA HAVE THE BEST CHANCES OF BEING SEVERE DURING THE EVENING...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REGION EACH DAY HEADING INTO THE COMING WEEKEND...PARTICULARLY DURING THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. COVERAGE WILL BE BETTER ACROSS THE WEST...AFFECTING BLF...LWB...AND BCB MORE SO THAN ROA...LYH AND DAN...BUT EXPECT ALL AIRPORTS TO BE AFFECTED TO SOME DEGREE. && .EQUIPMENT... KFCX RADAR HAS BEEN RESTORED FOR THE TIME BEING. TECHNICIANS ARE WORKING TO ENSURE ITS STABILITY THROUGH THIS EVENING. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...NONE. NC...NONE.
