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, 9:34 PM EDT, 1 hour 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 8, 9:34 PM EDT, 1 hour 37 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
934 PM EDT Sat Oct 8 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move east through the Mid Atlantic region
overnight as Matthew moves northeast along and off 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 910 PM EDT Saturday...

Analysis showing very dry air invading the west attm with the
surface cold front pressing toward the Blue Ridge. However still
have lingering light to moderate rain over the southeast as bands
continue to rotate westward on the back of Mathew. Latest HRRR
again has slowed down the exodus of the rain with some lingering
bands until after midnight across the far east. Therefore have
upped pops again over the next hour or two across Southside while
keeping some low chances going into the early morning hours.
Otherwise expecting slow clearing from west to east as the front
crosses but with little added rainfall given dry advection. Other
main concern will be with increasing north/northwest winds behind
the front per a quick surge of subsidence once Mathew heads
farther east. Think could be close to advisory levels higher
ridges per 30-40 kt jet aloft but may take until tomorrow when
heating aids mixing to get higher speeds to the surface. Still may
include in the HWO overnight as given cold advection could see the
NC mountains reach briefly into advisory levels during the late
night nocturnal hours. Also with the wet ground, downed trees
could become an issue as well. Otherwise cool advection likely to
really punch in after midnight even out east so lowered temps
closer to the latest Lav values which brings 40s toward the Blue
Ridge and low 50s southeast.

Previous discussion 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 /01Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 700 PM EDT Saturday...

Poor flying conditions early this evening will gradually improve
as deeper moisture on the back of Mathew and ahead of a cold front
starts to shift east. However widespread MVFR to IFR ceilings
will remain in place until Mathew moves farther east and the cold
front in the Ohio Valley crosses the Mid- Atlantic region this
evening. Decent agreement in the models that ceilings would begin
to lift tonight, generally from west to east with conditions
improving to VFR after 02Z/10PM.

Winds will remain gusty especially east of the mountains this
evening but quickly increase across the region overnight in the
wake of Mathew and behind the passing cold front especially after
06Z/2AM. At this time, believe that there is too much wind to
entertain any fog in the western valleys tonight so leaving out
mention. Boundary layer winds will be from the northwest at 15 to
30 knots.

On Sunday, VFR conditions return to all taf sites. Northerly winds
will be quite gusty especially across the higher terrain with
gusts to 25-30 knots for much of the day.

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 so expecting overall VFR outside of early morning
patchy valley fog. Another weak cold front may bring a period of
sub-VFR cigs to the mountains on Thursday, otherwise VFR elsewhere.
