RRWhat 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 Aug 6, 12:29 PM EDT, 2 hours 8 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 6, 12:29 PM EDT, 2 hours 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Blacksburg VA 1229 PM EDT Thu Aug 6 2020 .SYNOPSIS... A weak cold front remains stalled today into early Friday across the area, before pushing southeast Saturday. High pressure builds in this weekend with return to typical summer weather. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 1030 AM EDT Thursday... Fog/stratus continues to slowly dissipate across the Appalachians and central mid Atlantic region, but you do not have to look too far to the west to see showers/thunderstorms bubbling up. Expect clearing this morning will allow for heating and destabilization into this afternoon as short wave energy from the seemingly ever present upper trof over the Ohio valley to kick off another round of deep convection. Morning sounding from RNK is quite moist through the boundary layer and expect robust precipitable water values will make storms very efficient rain producers. Also see enough low level shear to get some degree of organization to convective clusters. Thus, there remains a threat for both flash flooding and isolated wind damage with the stronger storms and larger clusters. Also seeing hints in the meso guidance for outflow boundary convergence east of the Blue Ridge that may help keep the threats going across the piedmont into this evening /early tonight. Previous early morning discussion... Not much change in the upper pattern and low levels today with front stationary across the piedmont with upper vorts moving along the broad trough pushing to the Ohio/TN valleys. As such will see another reasonably active day today, mainly afternoon/evening. Questionable on severe threat if we do not get enough heating, but sunshine looks to peek out at times, plus ample enough shear to support isolated wind damage which is highlighted in the day 1 SPC outlook. Heaviest rains Wednesday into early Thursday fell across the foothills/piedmont of NC into southside VA. Models today again paint some heavier downpours moreso over the mountains of WV/VA into the James River basin. Excessive rainfall is possible, but at the moment the models and pattern overall do not push a need for a flash flood watch at this point, as we will see how speed of movement impacts how long storms linger in one area. Better pwats of over 1.5 inches will lie east of the mountains. Flash flooding is possible but coverage is isolated. Will highlight in the Hazardous Weather Outlook for now. Same scenario going into tonight, as convection will be slow to subside. Models in general agreement in keeping the convection going east of the mountains til midnight/early Friday before subsiding somewhat toward Friday morning, thought the NAM is more robust than GFS/ECMWF. Friday appears that front and upper trough will move slightly east but forcing continues enough to have high chance to likely pops areawide, though precip water drops a bit in the west. Storms definitely still could be strong to severe Friday especially east of the Highway 29 corridor as lapse rates increase with upper trough moving in from the west. As for temperatures today, seems cloud coverage and storms will limit heating somewhat, to keep highs in the 80s for most, with 70s in the higher elevations. Tonight, staying a bit muggy east of the mountains with upper 60s for low, while along/west of the Blue Ridge experience lower to mid 60s. Friday should be somewhat close to Thursday but a little more sunshine possible in the east to boost temps toward 90, with most in the 80s. Confidence is average on storm coverage and flooding threat, and above normal for temperatures. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... As of 1230 PM EDT Thursday... Upper level trough moves through the Mid-Atlantic Friday night into Saturday, bringing in a surface high. Despite this change in pattern, a few isolated storms remain possible for Saturday afternoon, given steep lapse rates. Any development will be difficult to pull off though, given dry air aloft. A weak disturbance Sunday will work with the slowly returning moisture behind a stalled front to our south to allow for some isolated showers and thunderstorm activity. Temperatures by this point start to make their aim at returning to above average, with areas east of the Piedmont forecast to hit 90 degrees as 850 temps swell to +20C in the afternoons. Monday will be a near repeat to Sunday with diurnal heating working with a weak disturbance to try and get convection going in the afternoon, but staying mostly isolated. Temperatures also continue their gradual warming. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 1230 PM EDT Thursday... Typical summertime pattern remains in place through the forecast period with a broad areas of high pressure sticking to the southern U.S. All the while, the jet stream remains tied up in Canada with a trough attempting to dig down into the Great Lakes region. This pattern will keep diurnal convection going through next work week. All the while, the region of high pressure will help with transport of an above average temperature airmass that will be keeping us toasty. The foothills and Piedmont will continue to see 90s while the mountains warm to the 80s. Lows range in the 70s and 60s. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 640 AM EDT Thursday... Any fog and/or low clouds at 12z will be gone around 13-14z. Still looking at scattered to numerous showers/storms today, mainly after 16z, with best coverage starting in the mountains, then shift east as we head toward 00z. Tried to time at least for our western sites tempo groups for thunderstorms. Showers/storms may linger til end 06z, but overall confidence not high enough to have them in past 00z. Models continue to advertise potential for fog/low clouds after 06z so hedged toward at least MVFR to IFR at all sites. Extended Aviation Discussion... Front will linger east of the piedmont Friday with still a threat of storms around, then high pressure builds into the weekend with lesser chances of storms. Pattern should be more typical of summer into Monday with scattered afternoon/evening storms. Overall VFR outside storms and late night valley fog. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...None.
