$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Oct 8, 3:19 PM EDT, 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 8, 3:19 PM EDT, 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Blacksburg VA 319 PM EDT Sat Oct 8 2016 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will move east through the Mid Atlantic region tonight as Hurricane Matthew moves northeast along the Carolina coast. High pressure will build in Sunday and remain over the much of the eastern United States through Tuesday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 319 PM EDT Saturday... At 2 pm this afternoon, Hurricane Matthew was near Myrtle Beach,South Carolina and moving northeast around 12 mph. The center of Matthew will continue to move near or over the coast of South Carolina this afternoon, and be near the coast of southern North Carolina by this evening into tonight. The NHC track still has the hurricane turning right tonight into Sunday morning. The track is close to 00z UKMET through 00z Monday. The other main feature in our forecast is the cold front near in the western mountains this afternoon. The cold front will move east across our region tonight into Sunday. The northwest area of moderate to heavy rain associated with Hurricane Matthew continue to push northward into the foothills and Piedmont of Virginia and North Carolina. In general, slowed down the eastern progression of Precipitation tonight. Adjusted pops with a slower arrival of drier air tonight. Increased qpf for this afternoon into tonight, especially in the southeast corner. Warm rain processes will produce locally heavy rains in this tropical airmass. At this time it appears any flooding coverage will not be enough for any flood watch with matthew pushes east tonight. 850MB winds increase from the north into the 40 to 50 knot range tonight. Expecting the gusty winds to become more common at higher elevations behind the front late tonight. Wind gusts rise close to advisory criteria at the highest elevations along the southern Blue Ridge. Low temperatures tonight will range from near 40 degrees in the northwest mountains to the mid 50s in the Piedmont. Matthew will moving away from the region on Sunday as low amplitude ridging builds over the East. There will be a very tight pressure gradient between departing Matthew and the large high moving in from the west. This will generate very windy conditions, especially at the higher elevations from the mountains of NC into the southern Blue Ridge Sunday. High temperatures Sunday will vary from the mid 50s in the northwest mountains to the lower 70s in the Piedmont. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... As of 319 PM EDT Saturday... No precipitation is expected this period as high pressure builds in behind Matthew Sunday night into Monday. Some limited wind gusts Sunday night between the departing Matthew and the high over the Ohio Valley. Monday the high is expected to head over New England wedging southwest to our area. Airmass looks dry so this wedge will favor sunny skies with a Northeast flow. A warm front lifts northward across the Ohio Valley Tuesday and may see some clouds infiltrate WV/VA mountains but overall still mostly sunny. Given weakening winds and cool high over the north, temperatures at night should drop into the 40s, especially the mountains. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 300 PM EDT Saturday... Building upper ridge early in the week gets shifted east and upper flow turns more progressive mid-late week. A front is expected to push across Thursday but is lacking moisture in a westerly flow, so little threat of rain showers, but cannot rule out an stray shower in the mountains Thursday. High pressure works in behind this front Friday into Saturday, with temperatures close to seasonal norms or just above for lows in the west. && .AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 142 PM EDT Saturday... Poor flying conditions this afternoon into Sunday with Hurricane Matthew lift northward along the Southeast coast and cold front traveling east. Matthew is forecasted to move northeast and weaken this evening into tonight,then east-northeast turn out into the Atlantic ocean tonight into Sunday. Northwest edge of rain shield associated with Matthew continue to push into southeast portions of forecast area including KDAN and KLYH. Western showers and rain diminishing this afternoon into this evening. Timing of rain and frontal boundary looks a little slower. High confidence that the rain may not end at KDAN until after 00Z. Widespread MVFR to IFR ceilings will remain in place until the hurricane moves farther north and the cold front in the Ohio Valley crosses the Mid-Atlantic region tonight. Decent agreement in the models that ceilings would begin to lift tonight, generally from west to east with conditions improving to VFR after 00Z/8PM. Winds will increase in the afternoon and overnight in the foothills and piedmont of Virginia and North Carolina. Wind gusts up to 28 knots are possible at KDAN especially after 06Z/2AM. At this time, believe that there is too much wind to entertain any fog in the western valleys tonight. Boundary layer winds will be from the northwest at 15 to 20 knots. On Sunday, VFR conditions return to all taf sites. Northerly winds will be quite gusty especially across the higher terrain. Medium confidence in ceilings, visibilities and winds during the taf period. Extended aviation discussion... For Sunday night through Wednesday, models are keeping the area mainly dry, although this is subject to change pending the track of Matthew. Most models have Matthew circling off the southeast coast through the middle of next week. For the latest storm track forecast see the latest NHC Advisory for Matthew. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...None. NC...None.
