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 Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 10, 1:38 PM EDT, 1 hour 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 1:38 PM EDT, 1 hour 15 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
138 PM EDT THU JUL 10 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLS OVER THE REGION TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTHEAST ALONG THIS BOUNDARY
TONIGHT THEN PUSHES OFFSHORE FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH
ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATED TO ADD SEVERE TSTM WATCH FOR SE VA/NE NC.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
LATEST ANALYSIS SHOWING FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLED OVER WRN PORTIONS
OF THE CWA WITH AN AREA OF SHOWERS/EMBEDDED TSTMS DEVELOPING ALONG
THE FRONT ACRS MECKLENBURG/LUNENBURG AS OF 11 AM. VERY MOIST
AIRMASS IN PLACE ACRS THE REGION WITH PWAT VALUE OVER 2" ON 12Z
WAL SOUNDING (AND 1.75-2" AT GSO). 12Z NAM BRINGS PRECIP FARTHER
NORTH THAN PREVIOUS RUNS AND IT MAY BE ONTO SOMETHING AS IT IS
VERIFYING WELL THUS FAR. HAVE THUS INCREASED POPS TO 70% OVER MUCH
OF CENTRAL VA AS FAR N AS METRO RICHMOND THIS AFTN (WELCOME
RAINFALL HERE). SATELLITE TRENDS SUGGEST LITTLE CLEARING THIS
AFTN...WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF FAR SE VA/NE NC WHERE A
BRIEF PERIOD OF PARTIAL CLEARING MAY OVERSPREAD THE REGION OVER
THE NEXT FEW HRS BEFORE TSTMS REDEVELOP.

MAIN CONCERN TODAY WILL BE FOR HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLE FLASH
FLOODING HOWEVER SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN
FAR SE VA/NE NC WHERE INSTABILITY IS A LITTLE HIGHER AND DUE TO
DEEP LAYER SHEAR 0-6 KM OF 30-35 KT. MAINLY A STRONG WIND THREAT
BUT AN ISOLATED VERY BRIEF WEAK TORNADO NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
GIVEN THE LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY. IR SATELLITE SHOWS DEEP MOISTURE
PLUME FROM THE SW AND UPPER JET IS IN A FAVORABLE POSITION (RRQ
FORCING) TO SUPPORT LIKELY POPS MOST AREAS THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT.
IN ADDITION..SHOULD SEE TRAINING OF STORMS DUE TO LOW LEVEL SW JET
BEING NEARLY PARALLEL AND SIMILAR IN MAGNITUDE TO THE FLOW ALOFT
(LOW MBE VALUES). MUCH OF HAMPTON ROADS AND NE NC RECEIVED 2" OR
MORE OF RAINFALL OVER THE PAST 24 HRS AND MAY NEED TO CONSIDER A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH THIS AFTN THROUGH FRI MORNING IN THESE AREAS BUT
CONFIDENCE TOO LOW IN PLACEMENT OF HEAVIEST PRECIP (ESPECIALLY
GIVEN THE LATEST NAM KEEPING HEAVIER AMTS FARTHER INLAND/NW). WILL
CONTINUE MENTION OF LCLLY HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT IN HWO (AND SEVERE
THREAT OVER FAR SE VA/NE NC). LOWERED MAX TEMPS A FEW DEGREES WITH
HIGHS MAINLY IN THE LOWER-MID 80S.

S/W ENERGY TRACKS NE ALONG THE BNDRY TONIGHT. THIS WILL NOT ONLY
ENHANCE CONVECTION CHCS OVERNIGHT BUT SHOULD KEEP THE THREAT OF
PCPN GOING THROUGH THE NIGHT...PARTICULARLY ACRS SE VA/NE NC.
POPS WOULD LIKELY HAVE TO BE RAISED FURTHER WEST IF NAM VERIFIES.
LOWS M60S FAR NW TO LWR-MID 70S SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SYSTEM LINGERS ALONG COASTAL AREAS FRIDAY MORNING BEFORE SLOWLY
EXITING OFF THE COAST DURING THE AFTN. DATA SHOWS PLENTY OF MSTR
ARND ALONG WITH SOME INSTABILITY TO INCLUDE CHC POPS THROUGH THE
DAY WITH THE HIGHEST POPS SERN AREAS. HIGHS GNRLY IN THE M80S. SCT
EVENING POPS FRI NIGHT...OTW BCMG PT CLDY. LOWS 65-70 F.

MODELS INDICATING THE FRONT WASHES OUT / DISSIPATES ACROSS THE AREA
SAT. KEPT A 20-30% POP OVER THE FAR NW AND IN SE VA/NE NC. PARTLY
SUNNY WITH HIGHS IN THE M-U80S.

QPF NXT 72 HRS AVGG 2/3RDS TO 1 IN ACROSS NWRN AREAS...1 TO 1.5
IN ACROSS CNTRL AREAS...1.5 TO 2.5 ACROSS SERN VA/NE NC.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AMPLIFIED UPPER FLOW OVER THE HIGHER LATITUDES WILL PUSH ANOTHER
ANOMALOUS TROUGH INTO THE NERN CONUS EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE RESULT
WILL BE BELOW NORMAL TEMPS AND WET CONDITIONS FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST
TO THE OH VALLEY. HOWEVER...THE LOCAL AREA REMAINS SEASONABLY WARM
AS MUCH OF THE COOLER AIR WILL BE LOCKED WEST OF THE CNTRL
APPALACHIANS.

FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND...ONGOING RETURN FLOW ON THE
BACKSIDE OF HIGH PRESSURE ANCHORED OVER THE WRN ATLANTIC WILL RESULT
IN SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS SUN COMPARED TO SAT.
THICKNESSES YIELD TEMPS RIGHT AROUND 90 DEGS. A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH
INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION SUN WITH SFC TROUGHING DEVELOPING OVER
THE LOCAL AREA. THETA-E ADVECTION AND A MOIST BL WILL RESULT IN
MLCAPE VALUES ~1500 J/KG. MODEL DERIVED PRECIP WATERS RANGE FROM
1.75 TO 2 INCHES. WHILE MOISTURE/INSTABILITY LOOK FAVORABLE...BEST
DYNAMICS/FORCING REMAINS WELL WEST OF THE AREA WITH THE BETTER
HEIGHT FALLS AND STRONGER WINDS ALOFT. SHEAR IS ALSO UNIMPRESSIVE
AND SOUNDINGS DEPICT SUBSIDENCE/WARM AIR ALOFT. WILL CARRY CHANCE
POPS IN THE NW...TAPERING OFF TO SILENT IN THE SE. BETTER COVERAGE
EXPECTED MON AS HEIGHT FALLS AND INCREASING WINDS ALOFT PROVIDE
BETTER FORCING FOR ASCENT AND COOLER MID-LEVEL TEMPS. COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO REACH THE CNTRL APPALACHIANS LATE MON...SHARPENING THE
THERMAL TROUGH OVER THE LOCAL AREA. WARMER TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS WILL
PUSH MLCAPE VALUES HIGHER...BUT SHEAR REMAINS MARGINAL (AOB 20 KT).
THE RESULT WILL BE SCT AFTERNOON SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH
OF THE REGION. COLD FRONT DROPS INTO THE REGION TUES-TUES NIGHT.
EXACT TIMING OF THE FRONT WILL IMPACT SENSIBLE WEATHER OVER THE
LOCAL AREA. WILL TREND TOWARD A BLEND BTWN THE MEDIUM RANGE
GUIDANCE...KEEPING THE BEST POPS ALONG THE COAST TUES. BASED ON THE
AIRMASS...WILL ALSO CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MON NIGHT-TUES MORNING
AS THE FRONT CROSS THE REGION. UPPER LOW BEGINS TO EJECT FROM THE
GREAT LAKES REGION TUES INTO SE CANADA...SLOWING THE FRONT AS IT
PUSHES OFFSHORE TUES NIGHT-WEDS MORNING. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH
ATTM...BUT WILL HANG ON TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ALONG THE COAST WEDS
BASED ON THE FRONT LIKELY STALLING OFFSHORE.

TEMPS WILL REMAIN AROUND SEASONABLE NORMS...WARMING INTO THE UPPER
80S-LOW 90S THRU THE PERIOD. ANTICIPATE TUES TO BE THE WARMEST IN
ADVANCE OF THE FRONT...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE LOW 90S.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE UPPER 60S-LOW 70S...WITH MID
70S NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
TSTMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE ALBEMARLE SOUND. THIS IS ALONG
THE OUTFLOW FROM THE EARLIER CONVECTION. LOOKING AT THE HRRR THINK
THESE WILL FINALLY END BY AROUND 14Z. WILL HAVE A TEMPO GROUP AT
KECG AS THESE TSTMS COULD MOVE ACROSS THERE AT TIMES. UPPER TROF
CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. THERE WILL BE SEVERAL BOUNDARIES
ACROSS THE AREA WHICH COULD FOCUS CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT. ALL MODELS AGREE ON CONVECTION DEVELOPING JUST NOT SURE
WHETHER TO THE WEST MOSTLY RECEIVES IT OR BACK ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST. MOST HI RES MODELS ARE LEANING TOWARD SE VA AND NE NC
SO WILL PUT A TEMPO GROUP IN THAT AREA THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER
THINK MOST AREAS WILL GO TO MVFR OR EVEN IFR IN TSTMS SOMETIME
THIS AFTERNOON OR TONIGHT. WITH DIMINISHING FLOW BY TONIGHT ANY
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO FORM WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE. OUTSIDE OF THE
PRECIPITATION EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS WITH SOME CLOUDS AROUND 10
THOUSAND FEET.

FRONT CROSSES AREA BY FRIDAY...LEAVING FRI NGT/SAT DRY ATTM. NEXT
FRONT COULD BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE SHWRS/TSTMS TO THE REGION
LATE SUNDAY OR MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SUB-SCA CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE WATERS THROUGH THE WEEK. A
WEAK TROF IS TO THE WEST OF THE WATERS KEEPING MAINLY A LIGHT
SOUTHERLY WIND OVER THE WATERS. A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE
ALONG THIS BOUNDARY TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW THE WINDS TO
BE MORE SOUTHEAST AT TIMES. AFTER THE LOW MOVES PAST FRIDAY NIGHT
THE TROF WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST SATURDAY. WILL HAVE LIKELY
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS
WITH A CHANCE ACROSS THE NORTHERN WATERS.SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE WATERS FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT. WINDS WILL BECOME MORE WEST TO NORTH OVER THE WEEKEND. FLOW
VEERS TO THE SOUTH SUN...REMAINING SUB SCA AT 10-15 KT. SEAS REMAIN
2-3 FT. LOW PRESSURE LIFTS INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION MON AS A COLD
FRONT PUSHES INTO THE OH VALLEY. GRADIENT WILL STRENGTHEN SLIGHTLY
OVER THE WATERS SUN NIGHT-MON...BUT REMAINS SUB-SCA. PERSISTENT SLY
FLOW WILL PUSH SEAS TO 4 FT IN THE NRN WATERS...BUT ANTICIPATE SEAS
TO REMAIN UNDER 5 FT. COLD FRONT CROSSES THE WATERS TUES NIGHT-WED
MORNING.
