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 Jul 13, 7:32 PM EDT, 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 7:32 PM EDT, 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
732 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL PROGRESS SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA
FROM THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY REGION TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY WORK ITS WAY INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY...TRENDING OUR CONDITIONS COOLER AND DRIER. WARMER
CONDITIONS RETURN BY THE END OF THE WEEK WITH BETTER CHANCES OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 725 PM EDT MONDAY...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 412 (10 PM) AND 414 (1 AM)
REMAINS IN EFFECT. FLASH FLOOD WATCH ALSO IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON
TUESDAY.
CONVECTIVE LINE FADING IN INTENSITY THIS EVENING AND WILL LIKELY
REMOVE SOME WESTERN COUNTIES WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR. GRIDS HAVE BEEN
UPDATED USING LATEST RADAR TREND AND 1322 HRRR RUN.
AS OF 530 PM EDT MONDAY...
ISSUED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 412 THROUGH 10PM AND
EXTENDED INTO WEST VIRGINIA. IF LINE HOLDS TOGETHER ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS...WATCH POSSIBLE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE LATER THIS
EVENING.
AS OF 300 PM EDT MONDAY...
A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX IS CURRENTLY HEADING SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY OF NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY INTO
SOUTHERN OHIO. STEERING TRAJECTORIES OPT FOR A SOLUTION THAT
CONTINUES ITS MOTION TOWARDS OUR REGION...ARRIVING IN THE WESTERN
PART OF THE FORECAST AREA AROUND 700 PM TO 800 PM THIS EVENING.
HOWEVER...AT THE SAME...THE BEST INSTABILITY IS ALONG THE WESTERN
FLANK...SO THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY MAY PASS WEST OF OUR REGION...AND
MOVE SOUTH INTO EASTERN TENNESSEE. WE ALSO HAVE THE QUESTION OF HOW
FAR EAST THE ACTIVITY WILL MOVE THROUGH OUR AREA. GOOD COVERAGE EAST
TO THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE IS LIKELY. EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE...CONFIDENCE IS LESS...AND AS SUCH THERE WILL BE LOWER CHANCES
IN THIS REGION. IN TOTAL...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FROM
THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO LAST ON THE ORDER OF THREE HOURS BEFORE
TAPERING OFF TO ISOLATED SHOWERS OR ENDING. SOME OF THESE STORMS
COULD BE ON THE STRONG SIDE...WITH VERY GUSTY WINDS BEING THE
GREATEST THREAT.
THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BE THE FIRST ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
FOR THE NIGHT. THE SECOND ROUND IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT
INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...PERHAPS COMPARABLE IN LOCATION TO THE
SYSTEM FROM EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT ARRIVING A LITTLE LATER SO THAT
SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS LINGER INTO MORE OF THE MORNING HOURS IN
THE EAST.
LATER TUESDAY AFTERNOON...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS AGAIN FOR ANOTHER
ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS AND STORMS TO MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM AN
UPSTREAM LOCATION FROM THE OHIO VALLEY REGION. SOME OF THESE AGAIN
MAY BE ON THE STRONG SIDE WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. LATER SHIFTS WILL
BE ABLE TO ASSESS HOW MUCH RAIN FALLS DURING THE UPCOMING FLASH
FLOOD WATCH PERIOD TO DETERMINE IF ANY EXTENSIONS IN TIME OR A
DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL GROUPING IS WARRANTED.
TEMPERATURES WILL TREND SLIGHTLY UPWARD FOR LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT
AS COMPARED TO READINGS FROM THIS MORNING. EXPECT MID TO UPPER 60S
IN THE WEST AND UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 IN THE EAST. HIGHS ON TUESDAY
WILL BE COMPARABLE OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THOSE OF TODAY.
ANTICIPATE LOW TO MID 80S IN THE WEST AND UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 IN
THE EAST.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT MONDAY...
500 MB UPPER LOW/TROF MOVES OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES AND ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN WILL BE EAST
OF THE FORECAST AREA BY THE END OF THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. MODELS
SHOWED SOME DECENT JET DYNAMICS TOO WITH UPPER DIFFLUENCE OVER THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CROSSES THE OHIO VALLEY TUESDAY NIGHT AND
BRINGS A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE LOW AND COLD FRONT WILL BE OFF THE EAST COAST
BY THURSDAY MORNING.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ONGOING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS
FORECAST PERIOD. HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE A
CONCERN BUT THREAT WILL ALSO DEPEND ON WHERE HIGHEST RAINFALL
AMOUNTS END UP TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. HAVE RAISED THE PROBABILITY OF
PRECIPITATION FOR A LARGE PART OF THE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY
NIGHT.
CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL LIMIT WARM UP ON WEDNESDAY. STAYED
CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE FOR TEMPERATURES FOR THIS PART OF THE FORECAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT MONDAY...
LARGE UPPER RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH FRIDAY
THEN DRIFTS INTO THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES OVER THE WEEKEND.
WARMER AIR MASS RETURNS WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES APPROACHING +20
ADVECTING INTO THE REGION ON FRIDAY.
STABLE AIR MASS COMES INTO THE FORECAST AREA BEHIND THE FRONT ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. WARM AIR AT MID LEVELS WILL ALSO CAP
PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED
OVER THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY MORNING. HIGH IS FAR ENOUGH OFF SHORE
BY SATURDAY FOR A RETURN OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY BACK INTO THE
AREA. HAVE REMOVED PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION BEHIND THE FRONT.
BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN RETURNS WITH THE INCREASING MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY ON SATURDAY. NO MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED TO GUIDANCE FOR
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 730 PM EDT MONDAY...
SHOWERS AND STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH COMPLEX WILL CROSS THE AREA
THIS EVENING. A MIX OF IFR/MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS WILL ACCOMPANY THE
HEAVIER OF THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS. WIND GUSTS IN THE STRONGER
STORMS WILL LIKELY BE GREATER THAN 30 KTS. ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL LAST AROUND TWO TO THREE HOURS. MVFR CIGS
AND IFR/MVFR FOG IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA AFTER THE BULK OF THE
PRECIPITATION ENDS.
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ACROSS THE
AREA FROM THE WEST LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. STRONG
WIND GUSTS MAY ALSO ACCOMPANY THIS ACTIVITY.
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO SLOWLY IMPROVE THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS SO THAT MOST LOCATIONS WILL BE MVFR OR LOW END VFR BY 18Z.
EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...
POTENTIAL FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS/STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT. AN ACTIVE NORTHWEST/BAROCLINIC FLOW WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE ALONG THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF A STRONG SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE ANCHORED IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. ONE OR MORE
CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES APPEAR LIKELY WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME...BUT
LOW CONFIDENCE ON EXACT TIMING ATTM. PLACEMENT FAVORS A TRACK FROM
THE UPPER MIDWEST THROUGH THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY AND INTO THE
SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS.
MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME CONDITIONS RETURN FOR THE LATER
HALF OF THE WEEK WITH EARLY MORNING FOG/LOW CLOUDS IN THE USUAL
SPOTS...KLWB/KBCB/KLYH...AND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. OVERALL...CIGS AND VSBYS SHOULD BE VFR
MUCH OF THE TIME PERIOD.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 300 PM EDT MONDAY...
DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE TWO SYSTEM TONIGHT WILL BE SEPARATED BY
MULTIPLE HOURS...GIVEN THE HEAVY RAIN SOME OF THE REGION RECEIVED
LAST NIGHT...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN TONIGHT AND
EARLY TOMORROW...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FROM 600 PM THIS
EVENING THROUGH NOON ON TUESDAY. THE AREA OF THE WATCH WILL BE THOSE
COUNTIES ALONG AND WEST OF THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND
BEDFORD...FRANKLIN...AND PATRICK COUNTIES IN VIRGINIA. MUCH OF THE
WATCH AREA IS EXPECTED TO RECEIVE BETWEEN THREE-QUARTERS OF AN INCH
OF RAIN TO ONE INCH OF RAIN OVER THE TWELVE HOUR PERIOD.
HOWEVER...LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS OF ONE TO THREE INCHES IN A
SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME WILL PROMPT FLASH FLOODING.
