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 Apr 9, 3:49 PM EDT, 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 3:49 PM EDT, 26 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
349 PM EDT SAT APR 9 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN
WEST VIRGINIA...SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA...AND NORTHERN NORTH CAROLINA
THIS EVENING...AND THEN EXIT ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA PIEDMONT
OVERNIGHT. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL THEN CROSS THE REGION LATE
MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MCS ON OUR DOORSTEP WILL PASS ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA THIS
EVENING...AND EXIT ACROSS NC LATER TONIGHT. HAVE RAISED POPS ALL
AREAS FOR TONIGHT...FOLLOWING THE 12Z NAM AND/OR GFS. DO NOT THINK
EASTERN AREAS WILL EVER GET OUT OF THE STRATUS- JUST HAVE SHOWERS
REINFORCE IT. THIS STARTUS AND FOG MAY HANG ON THRU THE MORNING. I
ADJUSTED TEMPS DOWN SOME IN THE EATS SUNDAY...BUT THE STRONG SW
FLOW SHOULD SCOUR LOW CLOUDS OUT EVEN IN THE EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MONDAY LOOKS TO BE A VERY WARM ONE WITH DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF
THE SIGNIFICANT TROUGH IN THE MIDWEST. H85 TEMPS PUSHING +16C BUT
INCREASING CLOUDS MAY MAINTAIN SOMEWHAT OF A LID ON TEMPS. STILL
EXPECTING MID-80S EAST AND NEAR 80 WEST. TIMING DIFFERENCES AND
IMPACTS OF THE STRONG COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THE MAIN CONCERN IN SHORT
TERM. GFS IS FASTER WITH THE FRONT COMPARED TO THE NAM WHICH CLOSES
OFF UPPER SYSTEM OVER THE OH VALLEY WHILE THE GFS IS MORE
PROGRESSIVE IN ADVANCING A MORE OPEN WAVE STRUCTURE ACRS THE
NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC. 00Z EURO SOMEWHAT OF A COMPROMISE. GENERAL
TIMING IS TO HAVE A BAND OF PRECIP WITH PSBL SIGNIFICANT STORMS FROM
LATE MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY. SPC DOWNPLAYING THE SEVERE THREAT AT
THIS POINT BUT STILL HAS A SET TEXT..DUE PRIMARILY TO LIMITED
INSTABILITY BUT STILL EXPECTING DECENT SHEAR CAPABLE OF ORGANIZING
SOME STORMS. SPEED OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD PRECLUDE WATER PROBLEMS BUT
BRIEF DOWNPOURS ARE OF COURSE POSSIBLE AS PWATS INCREASE TO 1.5
INCHES. FRONT IS WELL EAST OF THE CWA BY LATE MORNING WITH COLD AIR
ADVECTION AND STRONG NW BREEZES TUESDAY AS H85 TEMPS DROP OFF TO +2
TO +4C.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE MID-WEEK PERIOD WITH SLIGTLY ABOVE
SEASONAL TEMPS AND DRY CONDITIONS. ANOTHER STRONG FRONT AND UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEM APPROACHES EARLY IN THE WEEKEND. BASICALLY FOLLOWED HPC
GUIDANCE BUT THIS COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
STRATUS PRODUCING IFR CIGS IS HANGING TOUGH EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE. THIS INCLUDESBCB...ROA...LYH AND DAN. THESE CIGS MAY
BRIEFLY RISE TO LOW END MVFR...BUT ARE EXPECTED TO DROP RIGHT BACK
DOWN AGAIN TONIGHT...WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE OF IFR CONDS...MODERATE
CONFIDENCE OF VLIFR CONDS. FURTHER WEST...NEARLY FULL DAY HEATING
HAS PRODUCED MODERATELY UNSTABLE CONDS AND A TORNADO WATCH HAS
BEEN ISSUED IN EFFECT THRU 900 PM. BLF AND LWB WILL LIKELY SEE A
TSTM...AND HAVE A CHC FOR STRONG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. BCB HAS A
LOW CHC OF SEEING A STRONG TSTM. I EXPECT LWB TO DROP DOWN TO
VLIFR IN FOG...BLF MAY NOT DROP TO IFR.

LOW CIGS/VSBYS WILL RISE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS SUNDAY. I
EXPECT MOST SITES TO BECOME VFR AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER 18Z/200
PM.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION LATE
MONDAY...BRINGING A CHC OF THUNDERSTORMS TO ALL AREAS. VFR THEN
RETURNS ACROSS THE EAST BEHIND THE FRONT TUESDAY WITH UPSLOPE MVFR
CIGS AND A FEW -SHRA OVER SE WVA.

&&
