What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jul 27, 7:40 PM EDT, 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 7:40 PM EDT, 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
740 PM EDT Tue Jul 27 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A stalled frontal boundary over North Carolina may produce more
showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Afterward, high
pressure will bring drier and hotter conditions for Wednesday
and early Thursday. Another cold front should approach from the
northwest by Thursday night into Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 715 PM EDT Tuesday...

Generally modest updates to the forecast this evening. Rapid
update weather forecast models are hinting at another band of
spotty showers and a few storms developing late this evening
near the Interstate 64 corridor west of Lexington, and drifting
southward across the Piedmont. Introduced a chance for rainfall
for this, but not certain to what extent this may develop.
Otherwise, made minor adjustments to temperatures, cloud cover
and winds to carry us into tonight.

As of 1215 PM EDT Tuesday...

Confidence is high for hot and dry weather on Wednesday.

The earlier fog from this morning has dissipated, and
temperatures for this afternoon have been nudged upward. While
drier air enters from the northwest, a cold front will stall
over North Carolina. The proximity of this boundary combined
with heat and moisture will yield another round of showers and
thunderstorms along the Virginia and North Carolina border.
Heavy downpours will be possible in the stronger storms.
Convection should wane after sunset.

High pressure will move over the Mid Atlantic tonight, but
lingering surface moisture could trigger more patchy fog in
parts of the Piedmont and along the New River. With a northwest
flow at the surface and aloft, the resultant downsloping
combined with plentiful sunshine should give hotter conditions
on Wednesday with mid 90s expected east of the Blue Ridge and
most of the mountains getting well into the 80s. Heat indices
could approach 100 degrees east of a line from Lynchburg to
Reidsville.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 200 PM EDT Tuesday...

     Hot And Drier For Thursday With Front Still Expected Late
Thursday Into Friday...

The highlight of the short term forecast will be the front that is
expected to arrive very late Thursday, and traverse across the
region Friday. The overall impact for this front continues to look
less prominent for our area as arrival time looks to be after sunset
Thursday when diurnal heating will be gone. Guidance points to a
decent QLCS system forming along the frontal boundary for the Ohio
Valley that will move eastward, but the loss of heating should
happen before it can finish its trip across WV to really impact us.

As the front moves across the area Thursday night into Friday,
expect some lose coverage in showers and eventually thunderstorm
for the afternoon. The likeliest place for more organized convection
will be near and south of the VA state line with the front pressing
southward, serving as a focal point for lift. Obviously alterations
in timing could happen depending on how fast the front can get
through.

Temperatures remain above normal for this part of the forecast
period.

Forecast confidence is moderate.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 200 PM EDT Tuesday...

     Monitoring multiple features for enhanced precipitation chances...

The long term period should generally be characterized by somewhat
cooler temperatures than those that will be experienced this week.
Most of this is owed to the persistence presence of troughing from
Saturday onward. Consistent northwest flow aloft will only back to
westerly by Tuesday as the base of the trough approaches. Needless
to say, a consistent pattern of northwest flow is favorable for one
or more cold frontal passages, and the long term pattern does not
look to disappoint.

On Saturday, the cold front that will have led to precipitation
chances in the previous day is expected to be near the southern
portion of our forecast area. It is plausible that with convective
enhancement, the front will have cleared the CWA entirely by
Saturday, but deterministic guidance currently supports a scenario
where at least scattered convection will be plausible over our North
Carolina counties. The northern end of the forecast area will likely
experience dry and cooler conditions, with highs failing to reach
the 90s.

From Sunday onwards, the next heightened potential for showers and
storms diverges greatly among the main deterministic models. The GFS
begins to sag the next in the parade of fronts toward the area,
which would mean heightened rain chances over the northern half of
the CWA Sunday into Sunday night, with rain chances sagging
southward the next day. As of now, the ECMWF is over 24 hours slower
with this frontal feature, with rain chances approaching the
northern part of the area Monday night and Tuesday looking like the
main event from a precipitation standpoint. We will continue to
monitor model trends and anticipate convergence toward the true
solution as the event draws closer. For now, rain remains plausible
within the CWA anytime between Sunday and Tuesday. Both models do
agree, at least, that the upper-level trough and surface cold fronts
should keep temperatures at or below normal throughout the long term
period.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 740 PM EDT Tuesday...

Expect mainly VFR conditions through the remainder of Tuesday
for all TAF sites. May see a few showers and storms develop
across the Piedmont before midnight, but expect these to be
widely scattered and not enough confidence in this development
to make mention in the TAFs. Where rainfall does develop, expect
brief but heavy downpours that will temporarily result in IFR
visibilities until rain exits.

Drier air will arrive from the northwest overnight as high
pressure builds overhead. Patchy fog could develop near LYH,
DAN, and BCB by Wednesday morning. Confidence is too low to
include fog at LWB due to the aforementioned drier air. Good
flying weather is expected on Wednesday with a light northwest
breeze.

Extended Aviation Discussion...

High pressure will remain in control through Wednesday night,
but it will head offshore on Thursday morning. By Thursday
afternoon, a cold front will bring scattered showers and
thunderstorms toward LWB first before spreading toward the other
aviation sites during Thursday night into Friday. Weak high
pressure will briefly pass to the north on Saturday, but another
cold front could arrive by Sunday afternoon.
