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 Sep 8, 3:59 PM EDT, 1 hour 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 3:59 PM EDT, 1 hour 17 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
359 PM EDT Wed Sep 8 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will approach the areas form the northwest tonight slowly
crossing the region later tonight into Thursday. High pressure
returns Friday into the upcoming weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 200 PM EDT Wednesday...

An upper level trough is digging southeast across the Ohio River
Valley, with an associated cold pushing into WV and KY. Ahead of
the front low level moisture and instability have been
increasing across Central and Southeast VA supporting strong to
even severe storms. Mid level instability and DCAPE support the
potential for damaging winds and even some hail. The tornado
risk is low though through there is some shear present to
support persistent organized updrafts.

The initial push of convection has pushed farther north faster
than progged by the HREF runs and the HRRR has been struggling
with the convection all day. Hi Res ARW and FV3 had the trend of
pushing convection north, though not this fast or as far north
as evident on radar as of 2 pm. Looking forward most guidance
suggest redevelopment along the NC/VA border in the west and
expansion of convective coverage as it pushes east across south
Central VA, Southeast VA and Northeast NC later this afternoon
and evening. This is already starting occur as of 330 pm over NC
and western VA. Expect this second round of convection to expand
and result in a continued risk of damaging winds and frequent
lightning into this evening especially over South Central and
Southeast VA as well a Northeast NC.

There will likely be a break in activity later tonight and then
a redevelopment of showers and even possible an isolated
thunderstorms through the early morning hours just prior to
daybreak. some areas of heavy rain are likely with these showers
and storms during the pre-dawn areas.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Wednesday...

The upper trough will dig across the area into Thursday with the
trough axis not pushing through until just after 00Z Friday.
Meanwhile, the surface cold front will push southeast into the area
late tonight into Thursday. This will result in redevelopment
of showers much later tonight (in the pre-dawn hours) and well
into Thursday. The approaching upper trough and a strengthening
200mb jet will result in widespread shower activity increasing
in coverage especially across Central VA and locations east to
the coast including all of Eastern Shore. QPF ranges from 0.1-
0.25" NW to 0.5-0.7" E/SE, but higher amounts are possible due
to tstms. Lows tonight range from the mid 60s NW to the low 70s
SE. Highs Thursday range from the mid 70s to around 80F. Cloudy
Thursday morning, with partial clearing expected across the
Piedmont by later in the afternoon.

Drier conditions are expected Thursday night into Friday as the
upper trough axis swings through the area, and high pressure
builds in from the NW. Becoming mostly clear Thursday night,
then mostly sunny Friday. Lows Thursday night range from the mid
50s NW to the low/mid 60s SE, followed by highs Friday in the
upper 70s to around 80F.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Wednesday...

Quieter weather is expected in the extended as high pressure
builds in from the NNW for Friday through the Saturday bringing
more seasonable cooler/drier conditions, and what still looks to
be a nice weekend weatherwise across the Mid-Atlantic region.
Lows mainly in the 50s to around 60F Friday night, and then in
the upper 50s to mid 60s Saturday night. Highs will be in the
upper 70s to lower 80s Friday, in the lower to mid 80s Saturday.
High pressure slides offshore Sunday, with an anomalous upper
ridge building across the region during the early to middle
portion of next week. This will bring hotter temperatures to the
region along with dry conditions. High Sunday will generally be
in the mid/upper 80s Sunday, then at least into the upper
80s/low 90s Monday through Wednesday. Morning lows will
generally range through the 60s.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 200 PM EDT Wednesday...

An area of showers/tstms was pushing north across central VA
with gusts to 35 kt and heavy rain. These storm will impact RIC
through 19z, but should stay north of PHF. There will be more
development of showers and storms through the late afternoon and
evening mainly impacting ORF, PHF and ECG through 00z. RIC may
also see another round of showers this evening. The showers and
storms should push off the coast around 00z.

Otherwise conditions will remain VFR outside of the the showers
and storms with a S wind of 8-12kt with occasional gusts
nearing 20kt.

MVFR/IFR cigs are possible later tonight into early Thursday
morning behind the boundary. Another area of showers may develop
during the pre-dawn areas as the cold front slowly crosses the
region and expect lingering showers behind the front with MVFR
conditions most of Thursday. Drier and VFR conditions are
expected Thursday night through the upcoming weekend.

&&

.MARINE...
As of 345 PM EDT Wednesday...

S to SE have increased across the waters this afternoon as high
pressure has pushed further offshore and a cold front has started to
approach from the west. Wind speeds are generally in the 10 to 20
knot range with some higher gusts. A Small Craft Advisory remains in
effect for the middle and upper Bay through this evening and into
tonight due to the potential for wind gusts of 20 to 25 knots.
Across the coastal waters, seas have built to 4 to 5 feet (6 feet
south) this afternoon due to swell from distant Hurricane Larry. As
a result, a SCA is now in effect for all coastal zones through early
Friday morning.

A cold front will gradually move through the area tomorrow turning
winds to the NW to N. This wind shift will reach the northern Bay
tomorrow morning. The front is forecast to cross the remainder of
the waters during the day tomorrow, and is progged to move south of
the area by the evening. While prevailing wind speeds are expected
to remain sub-SCA from Thursday-Thursday evening, there could be a
very brief (<3 hour) period of 20-25 knot gusts immediately
following the FROPA before winds temporarily diminish. Then, a
secondary CAA surge is still expected to arrive from the north
Thursday night-Friday morning. Confidence is now fairly high that
there will be a period of 18-20kt sustained winds out of the N- NW
(and gusts to ~25kt) during the 06-15z timeframe Friday morning on
the ocean/Ches Bay, with marginal SCA conditions possible on the
Lower James River and Currituck Sound. Wind speeds slowly relax from
late Fri AM through Fri evening, with the current forecast showing N-
 NW winds decreasing to ~15kt by 21z Fri. Winds turn more to the N-
NE by Fri night and diminish to ~10kt. High pressure starts to build
into the area by late this week and becomes centered over the region
this weekend. Sub-SCA winds are expected from Friday night through
early next week.

Seas build to 5-8ft now through Friday (highest out near 20nm) due
to swell from distant Hurricane Larry. SCAs that are currently in
effect will likely need to be extended through Friday into early
Saturday on future shifts. This swell is expected to have periods
~15 sec, which will result in a high rip current risk today through
Friday and potentially into Saturday. Seas are forecast to fall
below SCA thresholds later in the day on Saturday and remain sub-SCA
through early next week.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 345 PM EDT Wednesday...

A high rip current risk is expected through at least Friday for
all area Atlantic beaches due to swell from distant Hurricane
Larry. Use extreme caution if heading to the beach over the next
few days, especially because many area lifeguard programs have
scaled back or ended for the season.

A Coastal Flood Statement remains in effect for Bishop's Head
MD for the afternoon high tide with water levels cresting right
around 3.2 feet MLLW. A Coastal Flood Advisory will be needed
for the overnight high tide cycle as Bishops Head is expected to
crest around 3.4 feet MLLW.

Additional coastal flood statements or advisories may be needed
as swell from distant Hurricane Larry continues to move water
into the Chesapeake Bay. However, no strong signals for anything
more than nuisance/minor flooding at this time with winds
expected to become N/NW during the peak swell Fri.
