$$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 May 5, 1:23 PM EDT, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 5, 1:23 PM EDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Blacksburg VA 123 PM EDT Fri May 5 2017 .SYNOPSIS... A large low pressure over Kentucky this morning will move northeast into New York by Saturday morning. Another smaller low moving over the Ohio Valley on Saturday will cross the central Appalachians on Saturday night. High pressure will cover most of the Mid Atlantic region Monday and Tuesday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 1210 PM EDT Friday... Fairly quiet on radar at the moment. Surface/upper analysis at noon shows surface low over WV, with 5h low near Nashville TN/Bowling Green, KY. As we head into the afternoon CAMs (Convective Allowing Models) showing redevelopment of showers and storms over portions of the piedmont northwest to the Alleghanys, with more showery wx also over the mountains of SW Va/NW NC. With clearing taking place, should heat up enough to steepen lapse rates, with mid-level lapse rates and upper cool pool supporting potential for hailers in the stronger cells. Have added this in along and north of a line from BKW-near Halifax this afternoon from 19z-23z. Again storms will be more widely scattered in nature. Otherwise, no major changes to the forecast were made with nudging up of near term temps to account for a little more warning where more sun is occurring. Previous mid morning discussion... Flood watch cancelled as threat of widespread heavy rain is over. Everything hydro will be covered with advisories or warnings, but most of the creeks and streams are near crest and beginning to fall, though some flooding downstream is possible. Narrow band of showers moving along front from the Alleghanys to southside VA, heading north to northeast. High-res models have this moving out by early afternoon, but with cool pool of upper low will and steep lapse rates, will see more showers form in the west and north this afternoon. Previous discussion from early morning... Highly amplified pattern today with a closed low crossing through the Tennessee Valley. Water vapor loops showed the low beginning to move northeast out of Alabama. Another upper low coming out of southern Canada will combine with the southeast low into a deeper closed off system over the Great Lakes early Saturday morning. Several bands of moderate to heavy showers oriented from north to south from West Virginia and Virginia into South Carolina. 3KM nested NAM showed enhanced low level convergence along the band of showers and thunderstorms extending from Roanoke to central North Carolina. Based on the timing of the NAM and other Hi-RES models, the back edge of this precipitation will move east of Lynchburg and Danville by 9Am. Models have strip of dry air just behind the axis of precipitation. Heaviest rainfall this morning will be before 8AM, then best inflow of high precipitable water air and stronger precipitation potential placement pushes into central and eastern Virginia and North Carolina. Clouds and more showers move back into the mountains from the west this evening. Colder 500 MB temperatures reach southwest Virginia, northwest North Carolina, and southeast West Virginia tonight. The 850MB cold front reaches the coast by this evening. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 330 AM EDT Friday... Long wave trof axis moves into Maryland and eastern Virginia as another short waves rounds the base of the upper low on Saturday night. Some surface reflection of this low will cross the southern Appalachians Saturday night. This will aide lift in the mountains and extend the probability of precipitation across southern Virginia and northern North Carolina. Deeper moisture moves east of the region as the surface low moves toward Pennsylvania and New York. With a west to northwest wind, downsloping will clear out clouds east of the Blue Ridge Sunday. The next surge of colder air comes into the region on Saturday and Saturday night. 850MB temperatures drop to zero along and west of the Blue Ridge Sunday morning. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 330 PM EDT Thursday... Deep closed upper low pressure will continue to pinwheel over New England through the long term period, placing the Blacksburg forecast area under a persistent cool northwesterly flow at both the surface and aloft. Some spotty frost/near freezing temperatures are again a possibility in some of the deeper mountain valleys late Sunday night until around daybreak on Monday - provided that sufficient cloud breaks and boundary layer decoupling occurs. A similar occurrence may occur around daybreak on Tuesday, mainly confined to portions of the New River Valley north into the Greenbrier Valley. Although much of the period will be dry, passage of an occasional weak short wave trof scooting southeast out of the upper Great Lakes into/through the mid Appalachian and mid-Atlantic region Tuesday night into Wednesday, and again on Thursday will likely bring periods of increased clouds along with the threat for some light showers. && .AVIATION /17Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 115 PM EDT Friday... Look for mainly VFR conditions this afternoon into the evening. Will have to watch for re-development of showers/few tsra under upper cool pool and along frontal zone. Some of the enhanced showers and storms could bring hail due to the colder air aloft. Main emphasis for thunder chances will be in the LWB area, with VCTS. Otherwise most of the afternoon looks dry, then should see uptick in shower coverage over the mountains after 00z/Sat. During the night, cigs will drop to MVFR with some IFR west, and VFR at DAN. Vsbys overall should be VFR BCB/ROA and east, with MVFR showers LWB/BLF. Showers could hang around the mountains into Saturday morning but with scattered nature after this evening, opted to leave out Sat morning. Extended Aviation Discussion... Scattered showers will continue across the mountains Saturday night as another short wave crosses the central Appalachians. Colder air comes in behind this wave. Temperatures will be cold enough for a few snow flurries in elevations above 3000 feet Saturday night into Sunday morning. VFR conditions will return Sunday into Monday. Moisture slowly increases Tuesday night into Wednesday in the mountains. && .HYDROLOGY... As of 915 AM EDT Friday... Flood watch cancelled. Looking at ongoing flooding in portions of the Roanoke and southern Shenandoah, with minor river flooding expected along the Dan River at South Boston around midnight tonight. Other main stem rivers, such as the Upper New, Yadkin, Roanoke and James will have to be monitored closely. While these rivers will experience rises, the projected crests are below Action stage levels. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...None. NC...None.
