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 Jun 9, 3:30 PM EDT, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 3:30 PM EDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
330 PM EDT THU JUN 9 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. A COOL FRONT WILL
SLIP SOUTH TO ALONG THE MASON-DIXON LINE SATURDAY...THEN THROUGH
THE MID ATLANTIC REGION SUNDAY. A MORE COMFORTABLE AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE RECLAIMS THE REGION INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
PULSE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NW NC AND EXTREME SW VA WILL CONTINUE
THIS LATE PM AND EARLY EVENING...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE SEVERE
WITH LARGE HAIL THE MAIN THREAT. EXPECTING COVERAGE TO EXTEND A
LITTLE FURTHER NORTH AS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM STORMS TO THE WEST
INTERACT WITH THE SOUPY AIR MASS. CAN'T RULE OUT SOME WATER
PROBLEMS TOO AS THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE HOOKED TO THE MOUNTAIN
CHAIN AND THUS VERY SLOW MOVERS. DESPITE SLT CHC POPS IN THE
FORECAST PROSPECTS FOR GETTING STORMS INTO THE ROANOKE AND NEW
RIVER VALLEYS LOOK SLIM ATTM...BUT ENOUGH OF A CHC TO MENTION IN
THE FORECAST. WILL KEEP SLT CHC POPS REGION-WIDE TONIGHT...AS
INSTABILITY WILL LAST THROUGH THE NEXT IN THE WARM HUMID AIR MASS.
EXPECTING A SIMILAR OUTCOME ON FRIDAY...PERHAPS MORE STORMS ACROSS
SE WEST VA AS SOME UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES CONTRIBUTE TO LIFTING
FALLING INTO THE WEAK LEE TROUGH THAT WILL PERSIST. SOMEWHAT MORE
WIDESPREAD CLOUD SHIELD SHOULD TAKE 2-4F DEGREES OFF OF MAX T FROM
THURSDAY. MODELS AGAIN FOCUSING ON NW NC FRIDAY SO ADDED LIKELY
POPS THERE...PROBABLY DEVELOPING AROUND NOON LIKE WHAT HAPPENED
TODAY. SLIGHTLY GREATER WIND SPEEDS AND MORE OF A VEERED PROFILE
WILL ALSO NUDGE UP AMOUNT OF SURFACE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BLUE
RIDGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FORECAST AREAS STAYS IN A VERY MOIST AIR MASS THROUGH
SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY ON SATURDAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT WHEN SURFACE
AND LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTHWEST. EXPECT WIDESPREAD
COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE FRONT SATURDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY. AFTERNOON HIGHS SATURDAY WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH
QUICKLY CLOUDS DEVELOP IN THE MORNING AND HOW WIDESPREAD THE
PRECIPITATION IS DURING THE AFTERNOON. IN GENERAL KEPT
TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S SINCE THE MODELS WERE HOLDING 850 MB
TEMPERATURES FROM +14 TO +18.

LIFTED INDEX FORECASTS FROM THE GFS AND SREF ARE BEGINNING TO
SUGGEST A SLOWER ARRIVAL AND MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT ON SUNDAY. IF
THIS TIMING PANS OUT...IT WOULD PROLONG THE CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION...ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTY WARNING AREA
WELL INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

IN GENERAL USED THE MAV GUIDANCE FOR HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURES AND
FOR SURFACE DEW POINTS FOR THIS TIME FRAME.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LOW LEVEL WINDS BECOME NORTH THEN EAST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ON
MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR
INTO THE FORECAST AREA. HAVE KEPT THE FORECAST FOR MONDAY AND
TUESDAY DRY.

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SLOWLY APPROACHING THE REGION FROM THE
CENTRAL PLAINS AND MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL BRING THE CHANCE
FOR PRECIPITATION BACK INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION ON WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY. STAYED CLOSE TO BIAS CORRECTED HPC GUIDANCE SUNDAY
NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
STORMS WILL BE WIDELY SCATTERED LATE THIS PM AND EARLY
EVENING...EXCEPT PERHAPS FOR KBLF WHERE THEY COULD BE MORE
NUMEROUS. WILL KEEP VCTS CB MENTION IN TAF FOR NOW...BUT
EVENTUALLY A TSRA MAY BE NECESSARY AT KBLF. IF ANY OF THE THE
SITES DO GET A STORM...FOG WILL BECOME MUCH MORE LIKELY...BUT FOR
NOW EXPECTING SAME COVERAGE...DURATION AND INTENSITY OF FOG AT
LWB/DAN/LYH AS YESTERDAY. HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE
WILL CAUSE WINDS TO DIE OFF QUICKLY THIS EVENING. ANY RESTRICTIONS
WILL BE QUICKLY ERASED BY STRONG JUNE SUNSHINE BY 13Z FRIDAY.

WITH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BREAKING DOWN AND MORE OF A ZONAL
WEATHER PATTERN...WEST TO EAST UPPER LEVEL FLOW...IN PLACE FRIDAY
AND HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND...WE CAN EXPECT INCREASED COVERAGE OF
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOONS
AND EVENINGS. UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES ORIGINATING OVER THE
NORTHERN CONUS WILL HAVE A BETTER OPPORTUNITY OF REACHING THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION. NOT CONFIDENT IN TIMING OF THESE FEATURES SO
THERE IS A CHANCE SHOWER ACTIVITY COULD OCCUR OUTSIDE OF THE
NORMAL DIURNAL CYCLE. WITH WESTERLY FLOW INCREASING ALOFT GREATEST
CONFIDENCE FOR FORMATION OF LOCAL TSTM ACTIVITY WILL BE OVER THE
MTNS DURING THE EARLY AND MID AFTERNOON PERIODS...THEN DRIFTING
EAST INTO THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. LOCAL MVFR/POSSIBLY IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIODS...LIGHT
FOG LIKELY...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAIN AND RIVER VALLEYS.

A WEAK COOL FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THE AREA FROM THE
NORTH ON SUNDAY. THIS SHOULD TURN THE WIND FLOW MORE NORTHERLY FOR
MONDAY ALONG WITH SOME DRYING. AS SUCH...SHOULD SEE A LULL IN
SHRA/TSTM ACTIVITY FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
