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 11, 10:23 AM EDT, 4 hours 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 10:23 AM EDT, 4 hours 32 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1023 AM EDT WED JUN 11 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH A COLD
FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND A WARM FRONT
EXTENDING ACROSS THE MASON DIXON LINE. THIS LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE
GREAT LAKES THIS AFTERNOON. THE COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA
ON THURSDAY THEN MOVE THROUGH THE REGION ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1015 AM EDT WEDNESDAY...

CLOSED LOW OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL OPEN UP TODAY
WITH AN ELONGATED TROUGH ACROSS THE ENTIRE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. OUT
AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH AND OVER THE FORECAST AREA...SHORT
WAVES...ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND AFTERNOON HEATING WILL BRING ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM OVER THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE
MOUNTAINS IN THE AFTERNOON...THEN OVER THE PIEDMONT LATE
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE PRIMARY THREAT
AND CAN NOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A TORNADO IN AN
ENVIRONMENT FAVORING SUPERCELLS. CONVECTION MAY WANE SOME
OVERNIGHT HOWEVER...PASSING SHORT WAVES SHOULD KEEP ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS ONGOING INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.

ANALYSIS OF MODIFIED GSO SOUNDING SHOWED CAPES THIS AFTERNOON
SHOULD BE AROUND 2500 J/KG EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...WITH DOWNDRAFT
CAPES IN THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE. PLUS LOW AND MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES ARE LARGER THAN ON TUESDAY AND BULK SHEAR IS STRONGER...IN
THE 35 TO 40 KNOT RANGE. AMOUNT OF HEATING AND INSTABILITY IS THE
MOST QUESTIONABLE FACTOR SINCE MID AND HIGH CLOUDS COVER MUCH OF
THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. THIS MAY DELAY ONSET OF STORM
DEVELOPMENT UNTIL LATER IN THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 412 AM EDT WEDNESDAY...

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TRACKS EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND
INTO THE OHIO-TENN VALLEYS ON THURSDAY. THE AXIS OF STRONGER
STORMS WILL ALSO SHIFT EAST ALONG THE COAST. STILL NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION TO SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER WITH THE THREAT
BRING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL AS COOL POOL DRIFTS OVER THE
REGION. THIS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL DRIFT OVER THE REGION
THURSDAY NIGHT AND THEN TO THE COAST ON FRIDAY. WEDNESDAY WILL
LIKELY BE THE WARMEST DAY...THEN HIGH TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY BE CLOSER TO NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM EDT TUESDAY...

MEAGER SURFACE HIGH WILL ARRIVE IN A WEDGE POSITION BY SUNDAY
ACROSS NEW ENGLAND...KEEPING A SUPPLY OF COOLER AND DRIER AIR
THROUGH MUCH OF OUR REGION. SOME INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN ACROSS
THE EXTREME SW AND WITH SURFACE CONVERGENCE DUE TO WEAK SE
WINDS...PRECIP CHCS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE FAR SW AND NW NC. AS
THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFF THE COAST...RETURN FLOW DELIVERS WARMER
AND MORE HUMID AIR...LEADING TO A WIDER SCATTERING OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. H85 TEMPS MAY RETURN TO THE
UPPER TEENS SOUTH OF WHAT LOOKS TO BE A STATIONARY FRONT DRAPED
ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND MIDDLE ATLANTIC BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 800 AM EDT WEDNESDAY...

MVFR/IFR FOG IS POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNRISE IN MOST LOCATIONS.
PATCHES OF MVFR CLOUD COVER IS POSSIBLE OVER THE MOUNTAINS LATE
TONIGHT BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT AS HIGH.

UPPER LEVEL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MS VALLEY WILL SLOWLY
MOVE EAST THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS/STORMS REGIONWIDE THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...WITH
GREATEST COVERAGE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME
ORGANIZATION OF STORMS IS LIKELY WITH STORMS CLUSTERING TOGETHER
IN SHORT LINE SEGMENTS.

SCATTERED MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. WINDS VCNTY OF STORMS WILL GUST TO NEAR 30KTS
WITH POTENTIAL FOR 50KT GUSTS WITH ANY OF THE STRONGER CELLS.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

CONFIDENCE FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS DECREASES AFTER
THURSDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROF MOVES OVERHEAD AND WEAKENS. FROM
FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND SHOWER/STORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO
BECOME MORE ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED WITH BETTER OPPORTUNITY
FOR GREATER COVERAGE OF VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
AS OF 1020 AM EDT WEDNESDAY...

AWOS EQUIPMENT FOR BLACKSBURG VA...KBCB...IS BEING UPGRADED
