Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

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 Sep 1, 10:38 AM EDT, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 1, 10:38 AM EDT, 2 hours 14 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
1038 AM EDT Wed Sep 1 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
The remnant low of Ida will track by north of the local area
this afternoon then push off the coast tonight. High pressure
builds in from the north Thursday through Saturday. A weak
front crosses the mid-Atlantic region late Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1035 AM EDT Wednesday...

Not much going on so far this morning across the local area.
BKN ST...mainly away from the immediate coast...continues to
lift...w/ VRB clouds/partly sunny conditions throughout. The
current wx has been compared to Ivan (2004)...there are
differences though. Remnants of Ivan were stronger/circulation
more defined and farther S (over ern TN) that morning as
compared to remnants of IDA (which have become more strung out)
w/ a weaker circulation sfc- aloft moving through the WV
panhandle. Therefore...Ivan was more dynamic moving through the
region w/ a stronger/"backed" wind field sfc-aloft. Much of the
focus now w/ IDA is the heavy rain from WV/nrn VA NE through ern
PA...tailing off to ISOLD/SCT SHRAs over SW VA/NW NC. Hi res
models do show at least weak 0-1/0-3km helicity potential over
central VA the next few hours which shifts to the ENE this
afternoon/evening. Will be watching the band now developing from
s central VA to n central NC in the near term. Additional cells
likely to develop into this afternoon. The low level winds are
SSE and a bit gusty so a spin up is psbl. Increasing PoPs from
W-E through the rest of the today. While locally heavy rainfall
psbl (PW's aoa 2") biggest threat likely to strong/severe stms.
Highs in the u70s- l80s W to 85-90F E.

Pcpn shifts to the coast this evening...ends after midnight. Gusty
N winds develop as the system exits. Clearing W...remaining mostly
cloudy E overnight. Lows in the l60s W to around 70F far SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 320 AM EDT Wednesday...

With a quicker frontal passage, models now take most pcpn offshore
Thurs morning with drier air pushing east during the day. Will
keep low chc PoPs along the coast erly Thurs, otw, bcmg pt/mstly
sunny. Cooler/less humid with highs upr 70s-lwr 80s.

Mstly clr/cool Thurs nite. Lows in the 50s west, 60-65 east.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 320 AM EDT Wednesday...

Canadian high pressure builds into the area from the NW Fri/Sat
providing dry and much cooler conditions (early preview of
fall). The next front apprchs from the NW late Sun with a sfc
trof out ahead of it. Models show isltd-sct convection dvlpng
along this feature during the aftrn. Will carry slght chc PoPs
across the north/west. Summer conditions return early next week.

Highs Fri mid 70s-lwr 80s. Lows mid 50-mid 60s. Highs Sat 80-85.
Lows in the 60s. Highs Sun low-mid 80s and 85-90 both Mon/Tue. Lows
in the 60s to nr 70 se.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 655 AM EDT Wednesday...

Other than some SCT-BKN ST erly this morning, expect VFR conditions
thru the aftrn ahead of Ida's remnant low. This feature tracks ne
of the local area this aftrn and eve before pushing off the coast
later tonite. Plumes of tropical moisture will stream north across
the area this aftrn/eve with sct to nmrs shwrs thru out the day.
Tstms look more likely after 18Z so only indicated VCTS at RIC/SBY
for now. Tightening pres gradient ahead of the low increases the
south winds Wed with gusty 15-25 KTS. Look for VFR CIGS to lwr
to MVFR later tonite and tonite with lcl IFR VSBYS in lclly hvy
downpours. Winds shift to the W-NW behind the trailing cold front
after 06Z.

OUTLOOK...
Dry/VFR conditions return Thurs thru the upcoming weekend. NNE
winds will be a bit gusty near the coast Thurs into early Fri.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 430 AM EDT Wednesday...

Early this morning, TD Ida was centered near extrm SW VA. Winds
were SSW 5-15 kt over the waters, with waves 1-2 ft and seas
2-3 ft. The storm will track NE today into tonight toward the
srn New England coast (remaining NW or N of our CWA). S winds
will increase to 15-25 kt this aftn into this evening, with
20-25 kt sustained winds possible in the bay and 25-30 kt
in the coastal waters. The highest gale gusts (35 kt) probs are
40-75% over the coastal waters from this aftn into early tonight.
So, have decided to go with a Gale Warning from Fenwick Island
to Cape Charles Light from 100 PM this aftn until 100 AM
tonight. Could have a few gale gusts over the srn two coastal
waters, but decided to have a SCA for those zones. Otherwise,
Will have SCA's for the remainder of the waters starting at 100
PM this aftn, then lasting into Thu evening/through Thu night,
due to the strong SSW winds this aftn into this evening,
followed by NW or N winds (substantially drier and cooler
airmass) behind the storm and high pressure building into the
area.

Waves will build to 2-4 ft later this aftn with the potential
for 3-5 ft waves (highest N) in the Ches Bay tonight. 2-4 ft
waves will continue during the northerly surge on Thu before
falling to 1-3 ft by sunrise on Fri. Offshore, seas will build
to 4-7 ft S and 5-8 ft N by tonight. Seas will subside along
with the winds late Thu night and Fri. Much nicer conditions
are expected this weekend with high pressure building into the
region.

A Moderate Rip current risk is expected today with a High Risk
of rip currents for all beaches on Thu.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 430 AM EDT Wednesday...

Increasing southerly flow up the Ches Bay may result in some minor
flooding issues at Cambridge/Bishops Head/Crisfield MD and
Lewisetta VA with the high tide cycle tonight. Some additional
nuisance (potentially approaching minor thresholds) flooding in
the middle and lower Bay into Thu morning.
