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 Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Feb 16, 4:37 PM EST, 1 hour 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 16, 4:37 PM EST, 1 hour 33 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
437 PM EST Tue Feb 16 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
An active weather pattern continues through late in the week.
Mainly dry conditions are expected tonight and Wednesday, but a
wintry mix of precipitation is likely for much of the region
late Wednesday night through Thursday. Dry and cool weather will
prevail this weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 410 PM EST Tuesday...

The latest weather analysis depicts a 997mb low over the Gulf
of Maine, with a 998mb low centered over nrn VT. This second low
has a cold front trailing to the SW through the Hudson Valley,
eastern PA, and into the Shenandoah Valley. Breezy and mild for
most of the area with temperatures in the upper 50s to upper
60s. Some locations from central VA to the Eastern Shore
maintained cloud cover longer and are int the upper 40s to low
50s.

The cold front will cross the area this evening ushering in a
colder and drier airmass associated with a cold arctic high over
the Upper Midwest. Becoming clear tonight for the entire area
with low temperatures expected to range from the low 20s NW, to
the mid/upper 20s from the SW Piedmont to the MD Eastern Shore,
and low 30s for far SE VA and coastal NE NC. The arctic high
will shift toward the Eastern Great Lakes and New England
Wednesday and build into the Mid- Atlantic. Mostly sunny and
cool with high temperatures ranging from the upper 30s NE, to
the mid 40s SW, along with a light NE wind. Quite dry Wednesday
with dewpoints in the teens to low 20s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 410 PM EST Tuesday...

Another winter storm will impact the region late Wednesday
night through Thursday night with the potential very substantial
impacts due to ice, especially across the Piedmont.

Have expanded the Winter Storm Watch from the Piedmont counties
to the I-95 corridor, and NE for interior portions of the
Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. A row of counties along the
Bay is not in the watch due to easterly flow, as well as the MD
Ern Shore and Accomack County. However, these areas still have a
threat for a minor snow/sleet accumulation and some icing away
from the coast. All watches begin at 06z Thursday, with the
northwest segment running through 11z Friday, the SW portion
through 06z Friday, the middle/NE portion through 23z Thursday,
and the SE portion through noon Thursday.

The strong surface high (~1035mb) will continue to keep a
supply of very cold/dry air from the N Thursday (at least
through the morning hrs). As the high shifts NE to the St
Lawrence Valley/northern New England by late Thursday/Thursday
night, there appears to be just enough low level warming from
the I-95 corridor and points E to have the p-type change over to
plain rain. For sfc temperatures Thursday, continued to follow
close to the NAM/GFS sfc wet bulb values which clearly depict
the typical delayed warming that occurs in these type of
patterns (i.e temperatures staying at or below 32F in the
Piedmont for several hrs longer than what a model blend will
show). Where the uncertainty lies is probably more in exact
p-type rather than temperatures in the low levels. The 12Z suite
of models have trended colder, with most guidance suggesting a
period of snow/sleet (possibly predominate sleet for a few
hours), followed by freezing rain. All guidance continues to
place a heavy emphasis on significant icing for the I-85
corridor that was particularly hard hit in the last event. There
is an overall trend for strong easterly flow at or above 900mb
to drive a substantial warm nose inland that will result in a
change to freezing rain for all areas by Thursday aftn. This
process will also help drive pcpn rates.

A blend of forecast model scenarios yields up to 2-3" of
snowfall across the far N/NW zones (most of this late Wednesday
night and morning and 3-5" possible for far NW Louisa), with
0.25" to nearly 0.50" (and possible higher) of ice across most
of the AKQ Piedmont counties. Even in excess of 0.25" is
possible in the RIC metro. For now, maintained snow/sleet
amounts around 1" or less except over the far northern tier. The
MD Eastern Shore will need to be monitored as a quick 1-2" of
snow is possible NW of SBY if moisture spreads far enough into
the cold air. The SE portion of the watch area includes
locations that have 0.1-0.25" ice forecast and a few tenths of
an inch of snow. These area have the most uncertainty for
warning criteria, but there is enough potential to have the area
in a watch. Highs Thursday will be 30-32F range in the
Piedmont, low/mid 30s metro RIC, with upper 40s/around 50F
across the far SE. Another period of freezing rain is possible
over the Piedmont (and possibly to the I-95 corridor) Thursday
night as a second wave tracks along the coast, and potentially
drags some cooler air back S in northerly flow. Additional rain
will fall across SE portions.

Another issue will be flooding. Forecast QPF is ~1.5" with
localized amounts up to 2" possible Thursday into Thursday
night. A flood watch may eventually be necessary due to to
combination of expected rainfall and very saturated ground.

A cold front crosses the region late Thursday night/Friday
morning w/ low temps ranging from around 30F NW to the m40s SE,
with highs Friday in the mid/upper 40s, with PoPs diminishing
from NW-SE in the morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 410 PM EST Tuesday...

Cold front exits the coast Friday morning to be followed by
drying and colder wx into the weekend. With the upper trough
still not crossing the area until later Fri, will hang onto
lingering low end PoPs along the coast eastern VA and coastal NE
NC Friday evening. Lows Fri night from the teens NW to the
upper 20s SE. High pressure reaches the local area from the W
late Sat then exits to the E Sun night. Cold Sat with highs in
the mid 30s to around 40. Diminishing winds Sat night will make
for a cold night under a clear sky with lows ranging from the
mid teens NW to the mid-upper 20s far SE. Some moderation begins
Sun as winds become SSW (highs mostly in the low to mid 40s). A
cold front approaches from the W Sun night then crosses the FA
Mon (though the exact timing of that frontal passage uncertain
attm). Dry wx Sat-Sun then an increased prob for rain on Monday.
Lows Sun night in the upr 20s NW to the low-mid 30s SE. Highs
Mon in the upr 40s to low 50s N to the mid 50s in NE NC.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 1230 PM EST Tuesday...

Gradually improving conditions are expected this afternoon as
low-clouds slowly scatter. MVFR conditions are expected at
RIC/SBY through 20-21z along with a WSW wind of 10-15kt with
gusts to ~20kt at all sites. The wind will shift to NW then N
tonight with speeds of 8-12kt as high pressure builds into the
area under a clear sky. Sunny Wednesday with a light NNE wind.

Conditions are expected to deteriorate late Wednesday night all
as another low pressure system from the SW tracks across the FA.
Expect widespread flight restrictions all day Thursday into
Thursday night. Mainly rain expected at ORF/PHF/ECG (a brief
mix possible at the onset early Thursday). SBY will have a
longer period Thursday morning with a potential mixed p-type
and RIC could see SN/IP changing to freezing rain before a
transition to all rain later Thursday. Another wave could bring
another round of rain Thursday night, and this could be freezing
rain at RIC. Conditions gradually improve Friday with high
pressure building in for the weekend.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 425 PM EST Tuesday...

Late this aftn, one cold front was off the coast while a second
cold front was pushing through east-central portions of the
area. Winds were 10-20 kt with gusts to 25 kt, with waves 1-3 ft
and seas 3-5 ft.

The second cold front will push offshore this evening, with
winds turning to the NW then N 15-25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt
behind the front into Wed morning. Waves in the bay 2-4 ft and
seas 4-6 ft. After a brief respite on Wed, with high pressure
building in from the north, a system originating from the Gulf
will impact the region Thu into Fri morning resulting in
additional SCA for winds/seas. High pressure will build into
and over the area later Fri into Sun, with SCAs possible for
most of the waters Fri night through Sat.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
As of 410 PM EST Tuesday...

Latest Obs show ongoing flooding along the Nottoway, Meherrin
and Cashie Rivers. A Flood Warning remains in effect for the
Meherrin River at Lawrenceville, the Nottoway River at Sebrell,
