16What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning 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 flash flood warning went out at Aug 1, 7:30 PM EDT, 3 hours 56 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- 1) Showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast this weekend, with the possibility of 1-3 inches of rain and a few strong/severe storms. 2) Unsettled weather continues through the front half of the week, with a possible decrease in convective coverage at the end of the week.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 7:30 PM EDT, 3 hours 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Blacksburg VA 730 PM EDT Sat Aug 1 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Shower chances best across the foothills and piedmont this evening. As winds turn to the southeast overnight, showers will mainly be along the Blue Ridge then spreads across the entire area Sunday. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast this weekend, with the possibility of 1-3 inches of rain and a few strong/severe storms. 2) Unsettled weather continues through the front half of the week, with a possible decrease in convective coverage at the end of the week. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast this weekend, with the possibility of 1-3 inches of rain and a few strong/severe storms. Low pressure over the Mid-Mississippi Valley will move slowly eastward into KY/TN this weekend with influx of moisture laden air into the Appalachians...PWATs increasing into the 1.50 to 2.00 inch range for our forecast area. This will promote isolated to scattered showers tonight becoming scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms through the day Sunday with primary focus along the southern Blue Ridge where Convective Allowing Models (CAMs) suggest S-SE upslope flow will enhance the rain efficiency and provide for an area of low level lift and regeneration. As the shortwave trough drives the low closer to our region, dynamic lift will also lead to sustainable rain production even with loss of daytime heating, probability for rainfall just as high late tonight as it will be during the day Sunday. Greatest hazards through the weekend will be two-fold. The first hazards is heavy rainfall, especially given how moist we expect the airmass to be across the forecast area. The storm system will be rather slow-moving, allowing for the rain to be persistent. The development of off-and-on showers and storms over similar areas could result in localized ponding/flooding issues. As such, WPC has our area outlined for a Marginal, or Level 1 Risk, of excessive rainfall through Sunday with a Slight, or Level 2 Risk, of excessive rainfall for the southern Blue Ridge from Patrick and Carroll Counties in VA into the North Carolina High Country and Northwest Piedmont of NC. The second hazard is the possibility of isolated strong or severe thunderstorms. The right entrance region of the upper jet should be moving across our neck of the woods Sunday afternoon, resulting in increased diffluence aloft. Thermodynamically, mixed-layer CAPE values around 1000 J/kg (maybe a little more) could seen, especially from Southside Virginia into the North Carolina Piedmont. With the increased forcing provided by the surface low and cold front to our west, we could see some isolated strong or severe storms in this environment. There are a couple of limiting factors in my mind... (1) Boundary layer wind speeds might be a tad low to get significant storm-scale organization. (2) If precipitation is more widespread than currently forecast, then instability should be lower. Given the overall risk, SPC has our area outlined for a Marginal Risk (Level 1) for seeing severe storms Sunday with the primary impact being damaging winds. KEY MESSAGE 2... Unsettled weather continues through the front half of the week, with a possible decrease in convective coverage at the end of the week. As an upper-level low settles into the Tennessee Valley, it should slowly push a cold front through most of our area before it stalls. The upper low is then expected to "sit and spin" close to the forecast area through much of the upcoming week. This feature will continue to send disturbances through a rather moist airmass, resulting in continued odds of seeing daily showers and thunderstorms. There's some indication that convective probabilities may decrease during the latter half of the week as the upper low ejects toward the Northeast U.S. && .AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Flight conditions are bordering between VFR/MVFR this evening, as low clouds have moved into the area. Storms are currently tracking over the foothills with moderate to heavy showers along the eastern side of the Blue Ridge (near KROA). These showers may impact KLYH by 00Z. We should see a lull in showers after 10 PM, but low clouds and/or fog will likely hang around before showers re-enter later tonight. Late tonight, a warm front lifts through the area, bringing more widespread chances of rainfall to all terminals. Rain could be heavy at times, as cigs lower to IFR/LIFR after 08Z in the mountains, and around 12Z in the Piedmont. Patchy fog will also be possible in spots through mid-morning Sunday. Scattered rain chances persist through the end of the TAF period at all terminals tomorrow. Southeast winds diminish overnight, though occasional gusts to 18 knots remain possible along western slopes through 06z. Winds remain out of the southeast Sunday. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK... Shower/storm chances will stick around Sunday evening, as a cold front moves into the area. The front stalls, allowing daily chances of rain to continue, keeping likely sub-VFR flight conditions in place at times through the week ahead. Overnight patchy fog will also be possible each morning. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...None. NC...None. WV...None. && DISCUSSION...DB/PM/RCS AVIATION...JCB/RCS
