What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Dec 8, 10:36 AM EST, 4 hours 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 8, 10:36 AM EST, 4 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
1036 AM EST Fri Dec 8 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A frontal boundary remains nearly stationary off the Mid
Atlantic coast through Saturday. A series of low pressure
systems will track northeast along this boundary through
Saturday. Cold high pressure builds into the area Saturday
night into Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

UPDATE...through tonight:
Early update this morning to include another tier of counties to
the east in the winter weather advisory, including the Richmond
metro (west side) and Salibury MD.

Latest short term forecast guidance continues to show a messy
and complicated forecast, especially regarding where the
rain/snow transition will occur. However, the models are coming
into better agreement in showing much of the region west of I-95
and north of Richmond, and into the MD eastern shore will be
mainly snow tonight given that the 1295m or less 1000-850mb
thickness values in this area. In fact, the thicknesses remain
quite low today in this same area so it would not shock me to
see a rain/snow mix in this area during the day today given the
very low wet bulb zero values at the sfc. Have already had a
report of some snow in Chesterfield. However, no accumlation is
expected today.

Tonight will be a different matter given that the sfc temps will
cool allowing some accumulation. Am still thinking that there
will be a swath of 2-3 inches in the new advisory area. However,
just to the cold side of the rain/snow line, there could be
higher amounts of 4 inches but given that this will likely be
such a narrow area and higher amounts will depend on heavier
preciptation rates and sfc temperatures. It may be a case here
where that narrow strip just into the cold air in the heaviest
precip band sees 4+ inches of wet snow.

Updated forecast package new advisory have already been issued.

Previous discussion below...

A messy forecast starting today. A frontal boundary remains aligned
off the mid-Atlantic/SE CONUS coasts today. A couple of weak
disturbances aloft in strong SW flow will ride NE invof the
boundary...slowly pushing moisture NNW into/across the FA
(initially from NE NC early this morning). Some light pcpn
reaches srn-central VA by late morning/early afternoon...then
points NNW of there by eve. Thermal profiles suggest mainly -RA
(RA/occasional +RA possible invof far SE VA-NE NC by later
today)...though would not rule out a touch of -SN or -IP
interior srn VA this morning...and again later today in corridor
from central VA to lower SE MD. Highs mainly 40-45F.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Attention turns to the srn stream system currently over SE TX
for tonight through Sat. The operational models have trended
toward a (slightly) more amplified system (the past 24
hours)...allowing more pcpn to be thrown back to the NW.

RA likely will be the dominant ptype in ern/SE VA and NE
NC...while SN is favor far NW. In between...the battle line will
be drawn (basically centered along a line from SBY-RIC-AVC). The
more amplified the system...the more potential for warming (in
the mid levels)...though w/ marginal thermal profile/cold air
in place...more QPF doesn't necessarily mean more SN accum.

There are differences in thickness/thermal profiles from model
to model...and since there has been no cold air up until
now...any SN accums difficult to determine...and P-rate/SN-rate
likely to determine whether there is any impact on roads. The
arrival of the upper level system on Sat may be enough to aid in
cooling the column (w/ better UVM)...and bring a higher
potential for SN across the FA (esp from central VA to interior
lower SE MD).

For now...will be holding off on any winter headlines (after
coordination w/ nearby offices). Also...will have a rather wide
zone of mix RA/SN centered along a line from AVC-PTB/RIC-XSA-SBY
from tonight into Sat. Forecast SN accums 1-4 inches over the
piedmont in VA to far interior lower SE MD...up to 1 inch to an
EMV-PHF-OXB line. RA may mix w/ or end as little SN near the
coast in ern/SE VA and over NE NC as pcpn diminishes (W-E) Sat
afternoon through Sat evening. Cold but dry Sun w/ highs around
40F. (Lows Sat night m-u20s inland...l30s right at the coast in
SE VA-NE NC).

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The long term period will be characterized by below normal
temperatures as a long wave trough sets up over the eastern CONUS. A
vigorous shortwave is shown to rotate through the mean trough and
pivot across the local area late Tuesday into Wednesday. This
feature will reinforce the already chilly air in place and probably
bring our coldest readings so far this season. In addition, widely
scattered snow showers may occur as the upper trough pivots through
Tuesday night/Wednesday. Will introduce slight chc pops at this
time. Highs Mon/Tues from the mid 40s to around 50. Highs Wed in the
30s to around 40. Highs next Thurs mainly in the 40s. Low temps
Sunday night in the 20s, to near 30 coast. Lows Mon night from the
upr 20s Piedmont to the mid 30s coast. Lows Tues/Wed nights from
around 20 Piedmont to nr 30 coast.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Frontal boundary remains (well) S and E of the local area
through the 12Z TAF forecast period. BKN-OVC VFR CIGS (mainly
aoa 8-10kft) continuing attm. Area of mainly -RA will be slowly
spreading NNW today...w/ CIGS/VSBYS lowering gradually to low
end MVFR or IFR. RA and IFR/MVFR CIGS expected tonight into Sat
at PHF/ORF/ECG...while mixed RA/SN or perhaps periods of all SN
expected at RIC/SBY. Pcpn...possibly as a mix of RA/SN even to
the coast...is expected to move offshore between 18Z-22Z Sat.
VFR conditions are expected after late Sat afternoon/eve and
continue into early next week.

&&

.MARINE...
Light winds/sub-SCA conditions prevail this early this morning
through the first half of the day with seas 2-4 ft and waves of
1-2 ft. Low pressure will continue to push north along a stalled
frontal boundary through the day. Winds shift the north this
morning and will remain below Small Craft Advisory criteria
through this afternoon. The surface low is expected to gradually
move NNE off the coast tonight and intensify during the day on
Saturday. As a result, went ahead and put up a Small Craft
Advisory for all zones minus the upper rivers for tonight
through Sunday. A strong cold front passes through Saturday
night, shifting winds to the west, and allowing for Small Craft
conditions to prevail. Small Craft Advisories will most likely
need to be issued/extended for much of Sunday with the passage
of the front. There is also the potential for a few gusts to
near gale force Sunday morning, especially over the coastal
waters. Elevated westerly flow of 15-20 kt to continue Mon-Tue.
