RABWhat 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 17, 7:15 PM EDT, 4 hours 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 7:15 PM EDT, 4 hours 35 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 715 PM EDT WED JUN 17 2015 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEK. A WEAK FRONT OVER THE AREA WILL OSCILLATE ACROSS THE REGION INTO THE WEEKEND AND BE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY INTERACT WITH MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION BILL TO BRING MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 700 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... LINE OF STRONG CONVECTION WILL SLIDE ACROSS SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA EARLY THIS EVENING. BOUNDARIES AND LINGERING INSTABILITIES OVER NORTHWESTERN NORTH CAROLINA COULD SEE STORMS THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING...THEREFORE WILL LEAVE SOME POPS ALONG THE VA/NC BORDER. ELSEWHERE...ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL FADE WITH LOSS OF HEATING. AS OF 200 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... MAIN CONCERN CONTINUES WITH CONVECTIVE COVERAGE INTO THIS EVENING AS INITIAL OUTFLOW UNDER A PASSING WAVE TO THE NORTH SLIDES EAST CROSSING THE BLUE RIDGE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE PIEDMONT BY EARLY EVENING. THIS ALONG THE RESIDUAL WEAK FRONT ACROSS THE CENTRAL CWA THAT WILL SLOWLY LIFT BACK NE AS A WARM FRONT AS THE WAVE PASSES OVERNIGHT. INSTABILITY NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY REMAINS QUITE WEAK WITH BEST FOCUS ALONG AND JUST SOUTH OF THE FRONT WHERE SEEING SOMEWHAT HIGHER CAPES POOL NORTHWARD. SOME OF THE LATEST SHORT TERM SOLUTIONS ORGANIZE THINGS A BIT MORE IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THE FLOW ALOFT BACKS A BIT SO KEEPING HIGH CHANCE/LOW LIKELYS WEST EARLY ON WITH CHANCES ELSEWHERE FOR MORE ISOLATED POP UP STORMS BUT QUITE IFFY. OTHER QUESTION WITH POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER UPSTREAM CONVECTIVE CLUSTER TO SLIDE SE LATER THIS EVENING AS THE FRONT LIFTS FARTHER NORTH AND CONVERGENCE INCREASES OVER THE NE SECTIONS. LATEST GUIDANCE STILL ATTEMPTS TO FOLD THIS FEATURE DOWN EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE BUT AGAIN POSSIBLY OVERDONE. THUS KEEPING IN HIGHER POPS NE FOR NOW GIVEN UNCERTAINTY WHILE DECREASING FROM SW TO NE BY MIDNIGHT...REACHING ONLY SLIGHT CHANCES AT BEST ACROSS MOST SECTIONS LATE. SOME PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE WHERE HEAVIER DOWNPOURS DO OCCUR...OTRW ANOTHER WARM/MUGGY NIGHT WITH LOWS MOSTLY 65-72. WAVE EXITS BY EARLY THURSDAY WITH THE WARM FRONT SHIFTING TO THE NORTH ALLOWING MUCH OF THE REGION TO SLIP INTO AN AREA OF WEAK SINKING MOTION AIDED BY DEEP WESTERLY FLOW AND GOOD MIXING UNDER WEAK CAPPING ALOFT. THIS SHOULD ACT TO SUPPRESS MOST CONVECTION WITH BEST CHANCES PERHAPS OVER THE FAR NORTH WITH A FAINT WAVE PASSING...AND ALONG THE NW SLOPES PER LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. NAM REMAINS THE WETTEST IN HAVING MORE CONVECTION OVER THE FAR WEST WHILE MOST OTHER SOLUTIONS LACKING MUCH MORE THAN ISOLATED MOUNTAIN COVERAGE. THUS WILL ONLY INCLUDE A SLIGHT MENTION EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THURSDAY WITH CHANCE COVERAGE DEVELOPING LATE IN THE DAY WEST WHICH MAY STILL BE OVERDONE. OTRW THE MAIN ASPECT WILL AGAIN BE WITH THE HEAT AS 85H TEMPS RETURN TO AROUND +22-23C WHILE DECENT DOWNSLOPING KICKS IN UNDER MAINLY SUNNY SKIES EAST. THIS COULD PUSH HIGHS INTO THE MID/UPPER 90S SE AND CLOSE TO 90 WEST PENDING DEGREE OF EARLY CLOUDS AND LATER ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA. THIS SHOULD ALSO BUMP HEAT INDICES BACK CLOSE TO 100 IN THE PIEDMONT DURING THE AFTERNOON. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 330 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... UPPER PATTERN WILL FEATURE LOW AMPLITUDE QUASI ZONAL FLOW KEEPING THE JET STREAM TO OUR NORTH. THIS WILL KEEP AN OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAVERING THROUGH THE REGION. WITH THE BOUNDARY IN THE AREA COMBINED WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE DIURNALLY BIASED CONVECTION WITH HEAVY RAIN BECOMING AN INCREASING THREAT AS TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF TS BILL AFFECT THE REGION THIS WEEKEND. DYNAMIC ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE TS REMNANTS SLIDE BY TO OUR NORTH SATURDAY NIGHT WHICH LOOKS TO KEEP THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION JUST OUTSIDE OF OUR AREA. HOWEVER...ENHANCING LOW LEVEL WINDS MAY ALLOW SOME CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS TO BECOME MORE ORGANIZED AND POSE A MARGINAL SEVERE THREAT. THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE IN AIRMASS BUT TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER DUE TO INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 330 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... ON MONDAY THE TS REMNANTS WILL BE OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST AND GETTING ABSORBED BY ANOTHER LOW/FRONTAL SYSTEM SWEEPING THROUGH THE NORTHEAST. THERE IS NOTHING TO PUSH THIS FRONT THROUGH OUR REGION SO IT WILL SIMPLY PIVOT/MEANDER ACROSS THE AREA AS THE UPPER PATTERN STARTS TO AMPLIFY AGAIN WITH A RIDGE BECOMING REESTABLISHED OVER THE EASTERN US. THIS WILL KEEP US LOCKED INTO THE HEAT WELL INTO NEXT WEEK. AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST THIS MAY BE ENOUGH TO GRADUALLY NUDGE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE NORTHEAST. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT THE BOUNDARY WILL LINGER OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK AND LEAVE US VULNERABLE TO UPSTREAM MCS DEVELOPMENT SLIDING INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST. WITHOUT ANYTHING DEFINITIVE TO LATCH ON TO WILL KEEP POPS LOW AND WAIT FOR THE SITUATION TO DEFINE ITSELF OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. && .AVIATION /23Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 710 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY ACROSS SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA AND NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH 02Z THURSDAY. THE MAIN THREAT FROM THESE STORMS WOULD BE STRAIGHT LINE WINDS BUT ALSO IFR VSBYS IN THE HEAVIER DOWNPOURS. ELSEWHERE...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNSET. BY 02Z THU...ALL CONVECTION SHOULD FADE WITH LOSS OF HEATING WITH LINGERING VFR DEBRIS CLOUDS OVERNIGHT. PATCHY FOG IS ALSO POSSIBLE IF DEBRIS CLOUDS THIN OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT SAW HEAVY RAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WAVE PASSES ON THURSDAY WITH MUCH OF THE REGION IN BETWEEN LIFT SOURCES AND UNDER A DECENT WESTERLY FLOW THAT SHOULD LIMIT CONVECTION TO THE MAINLY THE FAR WEST AND PERHAPS BLUE RIDGE LATE. THUS RUNNING WITH OVERALL VFR IN SCATTERED TO BROKEN CU FIELDS AFTER ANY EARLY FOG/STRATUS FADES WITH WEST WINDS AT 10-20 KTS. NEXT IMPULSE ARRIVES FROM THE WEST FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE BILL REMNANTS WITH PERHAPS ANOTHER ROUND OF MVFR IN AT LEAST WIDELY SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS. EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION... FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOCATION WITH THE RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS OF WEATHER THRU THE WEEKEND ALONG WITH REMNANTS OF BILL THAT SHOULD GET CAUGHT INTO THE UPPER FLOW AROUND THE RIDGE BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS COULD RESULT IN MORE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...AND MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS. WEAK TROUGH CROSSES THE AREA SUNDAY WITH CONVECTION BECOMING MORE ISOLATED DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. OTRW OVERALL VFR INTO MONDAY WITH ADDED ISOLATED CONVECTION POSSIBLE WITH YET ANOTHER WEAK FRONT LINGERING OVER THE REGION. OTHERWISE...EXPECT VFR EXCEPT THE TYPICAL FOG FORMATION AT LWB/BCB AND AT TIMES LYH THROUGH THE WEEK EARLY MORNING TIME FRAME. && .CLIMATE... AS OF 320 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...
