What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this freeze 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 freeze warning went out at Oct 24, 1:32 AM EDT, 1 hour 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 24, 1:32 AM EDT, 1 hour 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
132 AM EDT Tue Oct 24 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
cold front will move off the coast later this morning. High
pressure will build in from the southwest through the end of the
week allowing for a dry period, but expect cooler temperatures
through midweek with gradual warming by the end of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
As of 120 AM EDT Tuesday...

Drier conditions overnight although cannot rule out a few
showers in the upslope areas of Southeast WV along with patchy
drizzle. Wind will stay up enough to keep any fog patchy and not
too dense, but some higher elevations could see low clouds
through dawn.

Previous discussion issues early Monday evening...

Models indicate the surface front will rapidly move east
through the forecast area this evening, clearing the forecast
area by midnight. Threats until the frontal passage include
heavy rain and severe thunderstorms. Main thunderstorm and
tornadic threat will be east of the Blue Ridge with the heaviest
rain threat along the Blue Ridge where strong upslope southeast
wind component just ahead of the front will result high rain
rates.

The rain will come to an end with the passage of the front
tonight. Except for lingering showers in the mountains, most
areas will experience partial clearing after midnight with the
formation of patchy fog.

The cold front will move off the coast on Tuesday, the upper
trough still positioned to our west. The center of this upper
trough will be situated over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley
Region with the trough axis extending south along the
Mississippi River Valley. During the course of the day, these
features will make slow progression eastward, still poised west
of the forecast area through sunset. The bulk of the energy
associated with the low is progged to remain north and west of
our forecast area. As such, any shower activity will be mainly
confined to our west, but may still spread across our mountains
counties.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 330 PM EDT Monday...

Upper pattern will continue to favor a deep trof over the eastern part
of the country with below normal temperatures setting in. This will
bring generally quiet weather east of the Blue Ridge through midweek.
However, as the trof digs significant short wave energy will combine
with blustery upslope flow and some moisture in the boundary layer to
produce clouds and possibly a few sprinkles west of the Ridge. A wet
snowflake or two may also be spotted at the higher elevations. The trof
axis pushes through Wednesday night allowing for some upper ridging as
surface high pressure noses in form the southwest with drier conditions
and fair weather for the Appalachians and central mid Atlantic region
for Thursday.

The growing season will end October 25 west of the Blue Ridge, but to
the east this cold airmass will allow patchy frost to threaten plants
both Wednesday night and Thursday night. Expect lows generally in the
low to mid 30s west of the Ridge through the period, with middle/upper
30s to the east. Highs will be in the low/mid 60s east through midweek,
with some moderation to the west as readings go from the upper 40s to
lower 50s on Wednesday to the middle/upper 50s on Thursday.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Monday...

The upper trof will reestablish itself as vigorous short wave energy
dives southward into the Ohio valley this weekend. So after a brief
moderation in temperatures back to near normal levels, another cold
front will move slowly across the region on Saturday followed by a
return to below normal temperatures for Sunday and into the first part
of next week. A good chance of showers will accompany the front as it
passes Saturday/Saturday night, followed by some upslope showers west
of the Blue Ridge driven by blustery northwest flow and vigorous short
wave energy aloft. Temperatures Sunday night will be cold enough to
support some flurries especially at the higher elevations. High
pressure builds on Monday with fair but chilly conditions expected.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 124 AM EDT Tuesday...

Drying trend this period, but will see some upslope MVFR cigs in
the BLF/LWB area through 10-12z, with tempo MVFR cigs at BCB. A
little bit of low level cloudiness also depicted in vicinity of
LYH per satellite and added a tempo for LIFR cigs here til 07z.

Fog appears to be patchy due to some mixing behind the front,
but with wet ground and some clearing, have IFR vsbys at DAN at
times, as well as LWB and BCB.

After the morning upslope clouds in the west appears winds pick
up from the west to northwest allowing for VFR conditions
through the day, with some sct/bkn stratocu in the 4-6kft range
over the mountains.

Extended Aviation Discussion...

An upper disturbance passing across Wednesday may bring a few
showers and possibly MVFR ceilings and visibilities to the LWB
area, maybe BLF. Appears pattern through Friday favors VFR
conditions, with next front aimed to bring more showers by
Saturday, along with threat of sub-VFR cigs/vsbys.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
As of 125 AM EDT Tuesday...

Main hydro issues remain small stream/river flooding along
headwaters of the New River in the NC High Country and Chestnut
Creek in Galax, VA as well as Indian Creek in Monroe/Summers
County, WV. Should start to see these smaller streams recede
through the morning, but rises on main stem rivers especially
the New and Greenbrier are likely, though no flooding is
forecast.
