The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jul 17, 5:23 AM EST, 9 hours 57 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA 623 AM EDT SAT JUL 17 2010 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN CENTERED WELL OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST THROUGH THE START OF NEXT WEEK...ALLOWING FOR HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL WASH OUT AS IT GRADUALLY CROSSES THE REGION TODAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A STALLING COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM NEW JERSEY THROUGH THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS INTO THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...WITH A LEE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE VA/NC PIEDMONTS. IR IMAGERY SHOWS A FAIR AMOUNT OF HIGH/MID CLOUDS OVER THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING WHICH IS ALLOWING FOR SOME WARM TEMP READINGS. HIGHEST TEMPS ARE OVER THE TIDEWATER/ HAMPTON ROADS AREAS THIS MORNING WHERE READINGS AREA STILL IN THE LOW 80S. FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR TODAY WILL BE DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN GET ANY PRECIP EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WASHED OUT COLD FRONT. MODELS ARE ACTUALLY PRETTY DRY FOR TODAY WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF PRECIP OVER NE NC AND RIGHT ALONG THE NC BORDER. BEST MOISTURE WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF OUR AREA TODAY AND WITH LOW- LEVEL FLOW OUT OF THE WSW...GONNA BE HARD TO OVERCOME ANY DOWN SLOPING EFFECTS EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS. WILL HAVE ISOLATED POPS OVER THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE...INCREASING TO SCT IN THE FAR SOUTH. NUDGED HIGH TEMPS UP A DEGREE OR TWO THIS AFTERNOON GIVEN LACK OF EXPECTED PRECIP. HIGH GENERALLY IN THE M90S...EXCEPT NEAR 90 AT THE COAST. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... A MID-LEVEL TROUGH WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT AND MAY HELP TO DRAW UP SOME MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH. AGAIN...BEST POPS WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHERN TIER OF OUR CWA WITH ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA OVER THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE. LOW TEMPS WILL FALL INTO THE 70S. ON SUNDAY...THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH WILL TRAVERSE THE REGION AND SETTLE TO OUR SOUTHEAST LATE IN THE DAY. MEANWHILE...A SURFACE PRESSURE TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION. FORCING WILL NOT BE ALL THAT STRONG ON SUNDAY...BUT SHOULD BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY (ML CAPES ~1500 J/KG) FOR ISOLD/SCT CONVECTION. HIGHEST POPS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE ALONG THE NC BORDER INTO NE NC. HIGH TEMPS WILL COME DOWN A COUPLE OF DEGREES AS H85 TEMPS FALL A DEGREE OR TWO IN THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH. HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE LOW 90S. BERMUDA HIGH BEGINS TO NUDGE BACK INTO SE VA ON MONDAY RESULTING IN RISING MID-LEVEL HEIGHTS. MEANWHILE...THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH/SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL BE PUSHING DOWN FROM THE NW. BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR PRECIP ON MONDAY WILL BE NORTH AND WEST NEAREST THE UPPER TROUGH...WITH LESSER CHANCES IN THE SE NEAREST THE BERMUDA HIGH. FOR NOW WILL CAP POPS AROUND 30% IN THE NORTH BUT THESE COULD ACTUALLY RISE BY THE NEXT SHIFT IF MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW DECENT MOISTURE POOLING OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC AHEAD OF THE TROUGH. HIGH MONDAY WILL RETURN TO THE M90S. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... EXTENDED PERIOD LOOKS TO BE DOMINATED BY UPR RIDGE GRADUALLY BUILDING INTO THE MID-ATL REGION FOR THE MID TO LATE WEEK PERIOD...WITH SFC RIDGE REMAINING ANCHORED OVER BERMUDA/WESTERN ATLANTIC. THIS SHOULD TRANSLATE TO CONTINUES VERY WARM AND REASONABLY HUMID WX.
