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 Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 8, 2:51 PM EDT, 49 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Key Message 1: Scattered thunderstorms through this evening will bring the potential for isolated damaging wind gusts and flash flooding. Key Message 2: Daily showers and thunderstorms will remain in the forecast through the weekend.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 2:51 PM EDT, 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Blacksburg VA 251 PM EDT Wed Jul 8 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... With stalled front over the area expecting daily threat of showers and storms through the upcoming weekend. && .KEY MESSAGES... Key Message 1: Scattered thunderstorms through this evening will bring the potential for isolated damaging wind gusts and flash flooding. Key Message 2: Daily showers and thunderstorms will remain in the forecast through the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Key Message 1: Scattered thunderstorms through this evening will bring the potential for isolated damaging wind gusts and flash flooding. A stationary front bisects the forecast area from northwest to southeast with light northeast wind east of the mountains converging with westerly wind on west side of the mountains. Convergent zone runs along a BLF-GSO line and this will be the corridor to watch for development of deep convection. Mean winds aloft are out of the west at about 15 mph so look for an eastward drift of the activity with potential for isolated damaging wind gusts due to water loading within the downdraft cores. There is also potential for localized flash flooding per environment supporting high rain efficiency, PWATs running 1.70 over the mountains to as much as 2" over the piedmont... backbuilding and training cells being the most problematic. With front providing as a lifting mechanism, deep convection may linger a bit longer tonight compared to normal airmass storms, but overall think activity goes dormant toward midnight with areas of stratus and fog re-developing per shallow stable wedge east of the mountains. Key Message 2: Daily showers and thunderstorms will remain in the forecast through the weekend. A quasi-stationary front extending from the Mid-Atlantic to the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys will be a continued focus for showers/storms again Thursday with greatest coverage from 1400 to 2200 EDT, basically aligned with the peak heating of the day. Wind fields aloft are forecast to remain weak and with the front essentially stalled over the area, will have to contend with another day for localized heavy rain and marginally severe storms. A more bonafide surface cold front approaching from the Great Lakes Friday will trigger increased coverage of showers and storms for the weekend, with the front eventually passing south of the region Sunday leading to somewhat drier conditions for early next week. Temperatures through the end of the week are expected to remain near normal and may actually cool to below normal for a few days early next week. The ridge of high pressure which brought the heat prior to the 4th of July is shifting west over the Rockies. && .AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Scattered unorganized showers and thunderstorms will persist through sunset then dissipate after loss of daytime heating. Expect locally heavy downpours with downdraft wind gusts of 15-30kts. Away from deep convection expect VFR. After heating of the day showers dissipate areas of fog and stratus will develop overnight with potential for widespread low cigs/vsbys leading to period of IFR conditions late tonight and early Thursday. Cycle repeats itself Thursday, fog/stratus lifting after 14Z followed by cloud build-ups around noon and scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms Thursday afternoon. In general expect light winds (under 5kts), but gusty near thunderstorms. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK Scattered, showers and thunderstorms are forecasted for each afternoon and evening through the weekend. Heavy downpours, gusty winds, and sub-VFR conditions are all possible in any of the stronger storms. Patchy fog is also likely during the overnight periods, especially where significant rainfall occurred during the evening before. Any fog will burn off quickly after 13Z daily. Potentially drier looks to arrive for early next week. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...None. NC...None. WV...None. && DISCUSSION...PM AVIATION...PM
