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 Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 14, 3:01 PM EDT, 3 hours 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 14, 3:01 PM EDT, 3 hours 44 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
301 PM EDT Sat Aug 14 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will cross the area tonight, then stall over the
Carolinas Sunday and Monday. Several waves of low pressure will
move along this boundary, resulting in unsettled weather conditions
through mid week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
As of 300 PM EDT Saturday...

Heat advsry conts thru 22Z for areas east of I95 except the lwr Md
ern shore.

The cold front now apprchg the mts from the nw with a leading sfc
trof east of the mts. Storms are rapidly dvlpng along this trof attm
and expect this trend to cont along with an increase in areal coverage
over the next svrl hrs as they move ese. Even a few sea-breeze cells
dvlpng as well. Svr threat conts through about 00Z for damaging wind
gusts and locally hvy downpours. Will have the highest PoPs and
enhanced wording until then. Pcpn tapers off later this eve and
overnite as the front sags south across the area. Lows upr 60s nw
to mid 70s se.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 PM EDT Saturday...

The front will stall then slowly wash out across the Carolinas
Sun thru Tue with svrl waves of low pres progged to move east.
The first such wave is late Sun aftrn/Sun nite where likely to
cat PoPs will be in the grids across the Piedmont with chc PoPs
across the east. Although the threat for any svr storms will be
low, it appears the threat here will be anthr round of lclly hvy
rainfall. Would like to see how much rain we get tonite before
considering any flood related headlines. Addntl waves of low
pres will keep PoP chcs alive both Mon and Tues, highest PoPs
west, lower east. Cooler as the high to the north keeps an onshore
flow going thru the period. Highs each day from the lwr 80s north
to mid 80s south.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Saturday...

High pressure shifts off the New England coast late next week. Waves
of moisture from the south and se will likely keep the threat for
shwrs/storms going each day. Given the continued westward movement
of Fred, will cap PoPs across the Piedmont at 40-50% with 20-30%
across the east for now. Highs Wed 80-85, mid 80s Thurs and mid-upr
80s Fri/Sat. Lows upr 60s-lwr 70s.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 130 PM EDT Saturday...

VFR conditions to start the forecast period will quickly deteriorate
late this aftrn and evening as convection develops along the Blue
Ridge then tracks se across the area. RIC/SBY will be the first
to see TSRA's with PHF/ORF closer to sunset and ECG after sunset.
Lcl IFR VSBYS in hvy downpours and MVFR CIGS will accompany the
convection. Gusty winds are psbl with gusts aoa 35kts. Otw, VRBL
winds aob 10 kts become north Sun.

Some guidance suggests CIGS drop to near 1K FT late tonite across
the north behind a cold front. Did not go that low but did show
a BKN SC layer at RIC/SBY.

Outlook...
The front will likely stall near the NC/VA border resulting in
a prolonged period of MVFR conditions into early next week.
Periods of MVFR ceiling and showers/storms will persist Monday
and Tuesday as tropical moisture streams north into the area.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 300 PM EDT Saturday...

Afternoon wx analysis shows a weak sfc trough near the local
waters, with a cold front still to our NW. High pressure remains
over the wrn Atlantic (well offshore of the local area), with a
second ~1026mb sfc high now centered over the wrn Great Lakes. Winds
are generally SW 5-10 kt over the marine area, with a local sea
breeze component evident once again. Waves are ~1 ft, with 2-3 ft
seas.

Sub-SCA conditions are expected to prevail for the remainder of the
weekend into early next week. The aforementioned cold front drops
across the waters from NW to SE late tonight through Sunday, with
winds turning to the N then NE following the FROPA by Sunday. Wind
probs continue to keep winds sub-SCA, but a period of 10-15 kt NE
winds is likely over the coastal waters N of Cape Charles and across
much of the Ches Bay on Sun. Timing for these winds is during the
morning north/midday-aftn in the lower bay and SE VA coastal waters.
Highest gusts (to ~20 kt) are still expected to remain confined to
the coastal waters N of Parramore Island. Winds veer to the E and
diminish to 5-10 kt by Sunday night.

Winds remain onshore into early next week, as the weakening cold
front stalls across the coast of eastern NC just south of the region
and washes out. Winds become S-SE by midweek, remaining sub-SCA
throughout the period. Seas will generally be 2-3 ft through early
next week...with 1-2 ft waves on the Bay.

Will maintain a low risk for rip currents through the remainder of
the weekend (and Monday).
