What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 10, 3:13 PM EDT, 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 10, 3:13 PM EDT, 16 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
313 PM EDT Thu May 10 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will bring thunderstorms to the Appalachians and
central mid Atlantic region today, before moving off to our east
this evening. A warm front will then bring a chance of showers
and thunderstorms to the region tomorrow, before high pressure
builds in with generally dry conditions with summerlike
temperatures for the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Thursday...

Thunderstorms ahead of an approaching cold front will continue
to bring a threat for severe weather to the region before moving
off to our east early this evening. Expect fair conditions for
the overnight with some patchy fog developing.

A weak warm front looks to move through the region on Friday
with another chance for showers and thunderstorms mainly from
the Blue Ridge westward.

Temperatures will be above normal with lows tonight in the 50s
and highs Friday in the mid/upper 80s east of the Blue Ridge,
upper 70s/lower 80s to the west.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM EDT Thursday...

An increasingly warm, summerlike weather pattern establishes itself
across the central/southern Appalachians into the mid-Atlantic
region for the weekend. Large-scale pattern features across CONUS
remain pretty well specified in the 12z NWP guidance this period. A
deep 500 mb trough over the Intermountain West and very broad
cyclonic flow in the far northern tier US/Canada will lead to an
enhanced belt of 500 mb west-northwest flow from the Ohio
Valley/Chicagoland area into the northern mid-Atlantic region. This
will run roughly parallel to an elongated warm front near the same
general area. This is likely to be a pretty convectively active
pattern for areas along the warm front well north of our area, as
the air mass south of the warm front - into our area and the
Tennessee Valley - will be quite warm and conditionally unstable,
with a plume of 700-500 mb lapse rates between +7 and +8 C/km. A
capping inversion between 850 and 700 mb evident in GFS and NAM-
based BUFKIT soundings should keep convective development stunted
here as sources of lift will be limited to differential
heating/convergence zones along the Blue Ridge. In and of itself,
those probably aren't sufficient to cause a coverage of
thunderstorms other than isolated given the strength of the cap. Any
storm that were to form may develop rather quickly but also be quite
slow-moving as winds through a deep layer of atmosphere are under 30
kts, which also limits shear/organization potential. Will need to
carefully watch position of the aforementioned warm front late in
the period, with rain/thunder from MI to PA likely to effectively
shift the boundary progressively southward each afternoon.

Kept PoPs slight chance to low Chance Saturday on the southern Ridge
into the Mtn Empire for showers/thunderstorms. For Sunday, similar
idea but started to show Chance-level PoPs mainly along the I-64
area due to the potential for some showers or storms to brush these
from northern VA/northern WV. That said, much of each of these days
should be mostly sunny to partly cloudy. In terms of temps, highs
should reach the mid 80s to lower 90s Saturday and Sunday, with lows
in the 60s Friday thru Sunday nights.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Wednesday...

Weather pattern turns increasingly unsettled this period, with
increasing humidity levels as well. Warm front will continue to sag
closer to our forecast area during the early part of the period.
Toward the mid to late part of the weekend, a slow-moving upper low
of initial subtropical origin advects increasing moisture northward
into our area, leading to a continuation of showers/storms.
This should lead to a greater coverage of storms than previous
days. Temperatures should slowly cool into the upper 70s to mid
80s given a greater coverage of clouds.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Thursday...

Thunderstorms will bring sub VFR conditions and strong wind
gusts to TAF sites early in the period before moving off to the
east. Conditions overnight will generally be VFR though some
fog/stratus may develop toward daybreak. Expect all sites to
trend toward VFR Friday morning with redevelopment of shower
activity to hold off until after this valid period.

.Extended Aviation Discussion...

Predominant VFR returns behind the front Thursday night and Friday
and continues through much of the weekend as high pressure
strengthens across the region. Reminiscent of a summer-like
pattern, slight chances for isolated afternoon showers and
thunderstorms will exist this weekend. Additional showers and
storms may make for another round of sub-VFR on Monday pending
exactly how far south the next front makes it.
