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 Jul 21, 9:06 PM EDT, 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 21, 9:06 PM EDT, 21 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
906 PM EDT Tue Jul 21 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
An upper ridge across the southern U.S. will maintain itself
into Thursday before a front arrives late in the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 905 PM EDT Tuesday...

Widely scattered storms continue under an axis of DCAPE values
in excess of 1000 J/KG, so locally damaging winds are still
possible for the reminder of the evening. 23Z HRRR has a good
handle on the current location of convection and keeps storms
across the VA southside until around midnight-1 AM EDT. Adjusted
POPs up in this area.

There will be a weakness in the upper ridge as a shortwave
passes into the Ohio Valley late tonight. This may help a
complex of storms move into WV by daybreak, but the model
consensus is to keep this west of our area through 12Z (8 AM
EDT) Wednesday.

With a stagnant airmass in place, followed persistence for lows
and bumped up lows at ROA closer to values experienced Tuesday
morning.

Wednesday appears somewhat similar to this afternoon as storms
fire up noon or just before. Difference is a slight cooling
aloft with trough moving across the upper Ohio Valley. SPC has a
slight risk for severe north of U.S. 60, as better upper
support/shear push across northern WV/VA, and density from
storms may sink the convective system south toward Lynchburg to
Roanoke/Lexington by mid afternoon. Overall storm coverage looks
more numerous in the Shenandoah Valley and mountains, with less
southside VA/NC piedmont.

Highs Wednesday will be in the mid 80s to around 90 west, to
mid 90s east. The exception will be the highest terrain of SW
VA/NW NC with upper 70s to lower 80s above 3500 feet. See
climate section below for records.

Forecast confidence is average for storm location/coverage this
evening and again Wednesday, but high on temperatures.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 200 PM EDT Tuesday...

An area of low pressure will cross over Maine in association with a
passing upper level trough during Wednesday night into Thursday. It
will drag a cold front toward Ohio and Pennsylvania by Thursday
afternoon, which should spark another round of showers and
thunderstorms across the Mid Atlantic. There remains plenty of
instability ahead of this front based on the ample heat and
humidity. Thus, the Storm Prediction Center has highlighted a
marginal risk of severe weather mainly along and east of the Blue
Ridge. The record consecutive streak of 22 days for hitting at least
90 degrees (June 23 through July 14 in 1966) at Roanoke will be
toast by midday Thursday as we reach day 23 of this current streak.

The cold front should slowly sag southward through central Virginia
by Thursday night into Friday, which will push the focus for
convection toward the Virginia and North Carolina border during
Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, the impressive upper level ridge
responsible for all the heat will start to shift westward toward the
Plains as the upper level trough digs further across the Northeast.
Slightly drier air could infiltrate from the northwest by Friday
night as high pressure takes control over New York.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 200 PM EDT Tuesday...

The cold front should push further southward across North Carolina
on Saturday and eventually head offshore toward the latter half of
this weekend. Confidence is increasing for shower and thunderstorm
chances to diminish by Sunday based on better agreement between the
ECMWF and GFS models. Still, a chance will be left across the
northwest North Carolina mountains as orographical lift may spark
isolated convection. Temperatures could be a little cooler for
Saturday compared to earlier in the week, but this slight reprieve
will be brief as the influence of the upper level trough should
fade away by Sunday.

If the record streak of 90-degree days at Roanoke is not halted by
Saturday, it will continue well into next week as heights aloft rise
during Sunday and Monday. Consequently, the heat and humidity should
begin to creep up again. The potential for showers and thunderstorms
could tick up by Monday afternoon west of the Blue Ridge as the next
cold front and its associated upper level trough enters the Ohio
River Valley. Convection chances increase further on Tuesday as the
trough digs southward and pushes the cold front toward the
Appalachian Mountains. The slower ECWMF solution was favored for the
latter part of this forecast as the GFS seems too fast given this
summertime pattern.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 645 PM EDT Tuesday...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms across portions of southwest
Virginia will gradually diminish this evening. Kept VCTS for all
TAF sites except KLYH until 02-03Z (10-11 PM EDT). Once the
storms diminish VFR conditions will prevail for most TAF sites
overnight, but MVFR fog, or worse, is possible at KLWB before
dawn Wednesday.

Expect better coverage of thunderstorms on Wednesday, especially
after 18Z (2 PM EDT), and included VCTS at all TAF sites, as it
is too early to pinpoint which locations will be directly
impacted. These storms will have the potential to produce gusty
winds and heavy rain and should they move over a TAF site, a
short period of IFR conditions are possible.

Extended Aviation Discussion...

Overall mainly VFR weather to continue through most of the
week. We will continue to have afternoon and early evening
scattered storms through the extended period. Thus periods of
sub-VFR are possible in storms, and potential for late
night/early morning fog at LWB/BCB and perhaps other locations
depending on where there is daily significant rainfall.
