The episode as NWS AKQ wrote it up.
Scattered severe thunderstorms in advance of a cold front produced damaging winds across portions of central Virginia.
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 Jun 28, 3:31 PM EST, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA
431 PM EDT MON JUN 28 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT SLOWLY CROSSES THE AREA TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...THEN
PUSHES SOUTH OF THE LOWER NORTH CAROLINA COAST ON WEDNESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH FOR THE LATTER HALF
OF THE WEEK. OVER THE WEEKEND...THE LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BECOME CENTERED ALONG OR JUST OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
RECORD BREAKING HEAT (ONCE AGAIN) AND THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT
DOMINATE THE NEAR TERM HEADLINES. FIRST IN TERMS OF THE
RECORDS...AT THIS POINT RIC HAS ALREADY BROKEN THE DAILY MAX TEMP
RECORD WITH 102 DEGREES...SET AT 301 PM (OLD RECORD WAS 99 IN
1959). IN ADDITION...AT LEAST FOR NOW RIC STANDS TO BREAK THE
RECORD HIGH MINIMUM TEMPERATURE...AS THE LOW SO FAR FOR THE 28TH
WAS 79. HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE A CHANCE THAT THE TEMP WILL DROP
BELOW 79 BEFORE MIDNIGHT (ESPECIALLY IN TSTMS)...THEREFORE WILL
HOLD OFF ON ISSUING A RECORD EVENT REPORT UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT. JUST FYI...RIC HAS NEVER HAD A LOW OF 80 OR GREATER IN
RECORDED HISTORY...AND IF THE 79 SHOULD STAND AS A LOW FOR
TODAY...IT WILL MARK THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN JUNE...AND
THE 7TH TIME OVERALL OF SUCH OCCURRENCE. OTHERWISE...SBY HAD A LOW
OF 80F THIS MORNING...VERY WARM INDEED FOR THAT LOCATION EVEN
THOUGH RECORDS FOR HIGH MINS OR LOW MAXES ARE NOT KEPT THERE.
SBY'S HIGH FOR TODAY THUS FAR WAS 97...CLOSE TO THE RECORD OF 99
SET BACK IN 1921. ECG HAS TIED THE RECORD THUS FAR...WITH A HIGH OF
97 (LAST SET IN 2008). ORF WILL NOT BREAK THEIR RECORD OF 101F
(HIGH 97 THUS FAR AT ORF).
REGARDING THE TSTM THREAT...AND SEVERITY. SVR TSTM WATCH REMAINS
IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM OVER THE LWR MD ERN SHORE...AS WE CONTINUE TO
TRACK THE STORMS APPROACHING FROM NRN VA. CELLS OVERALL HAVE
EXHIBITED MINIMAL INTENSIFICATION WITH TIME...LARGELY DUE TO THE
WEAKENING LLVL MSTR CONVERGENCE E OF THE MNTNS WITH THE SW/WSW
FLOW...WITH A BIT OF AN ELEVATED CORE ~ 30KTS BTWN 850-700 MB
(FROM THE WSW). THERMODYNAMICALLY...PARAMETERS ARE AT LEAST OF
MODERATE STRENGTH...WITH MUCAPES OF 2000-2500 J/KG AND LI'S AROUND
-5C. LIMITING THE UPDRAFT STRENGTH SOMEWHAT IS THE RELATIVE WARMTH
ALOFT...HOWEVER DRY AIR AVAILABILITY ALONG WITH THOSE WINDS AROUND
30 KTS IN A DEEP LAYER (850-500 MB) WILL ALLOW FOR AN ISOLATED
DAMAGING WIND (DOWNBURST) THREAT.
OTHERWISE...CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL FOR A LARGE PTN OF THE REGION
(E/SE 2/3RDS OF THE CWA) WILL AGAIN BE MITIGATED BY THE PRE-
FRONTAL SW LLVL FLOW COMPONENT. HAVE AGAIN CAPPED POPS AT
50%...THEREBY IMPLYING SCATTERED COVERAGE. OVERNIGHT (AFTER
MIDNIGHT)... POPS ARE CONFINED IN E/SE AREAS (MAINLY E OF I-95)
CLOSER TO WHERE THE SFC FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE PER GFS/NAM/SREF/
ECMWF MODEL CONSENSUS. MIN TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE LWR-MID 70S NW
HALF... MID-UPR 70S SE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SHORT RANGE MODELS ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR IN DEPICTING THE FRONT
STALLING OUT NEAR THE CSTL VA/NC BORDER ON TUE...THEN DROPPING S
OF CAPE HATTERAS ON WED. VIGOROUS MID/UPR LVL SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO
PIVOT ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND FAR NERN CONUS TUE-WED...THEREIN
STRENGTHENING THE UPR LVL CONFLUENCE (JET STREAK) TO OUR N/NE AND
THUS INCREASING THE UPR DIVERGENCE AND LOW-MID LVL FGEN/QVECTOR
CONVERGENCE INTO THE FCST AREA (ALBEIT RELATIVELY WEAK). THIS WILL
MAINTAIN THE THREAT FOR MORE SHOWERS TSTMS ALONG THE FRONT...
THOUGH MORE LIKELY OVER FAR SERN/NERN NC...AS AGAIN THE GFS IS THE
OUTLIER MODEL COMPARED TO THE SREF/NAM/ECMWF WITH THE ANAFRONTAL
MSTR TOO FAR N OF THE SFC BNDRY. BASED ON THE CONSENSUS OF THE
NON-GFS RUNS...DEEP DRY AIR WILL LIKELY KEEP THE BULK OF THE
REGION DRY BOTH TUE AND WED...AT LEAST FROM THE RIC METRO AREA
NORTHWARD. COOLER AND CERTAINLY DRIER ON WED...WITH HIGHS
GENERALLY IN THE LOWER-MID 80S.
CONTINUED DRY AND A BIT MORE COOLER/DRIER IN ALL AREAS WED NIGHT
AND THU AS THE FRONT DROPS FARTHER SOUTH (IN RESPONSE OF THE
UNSEASONABLY VIGOROUS NRN STREAM SHORTWAVE). MIN TEMPS THU MORNING
WILL RANGE THROUGH THE 50S TO NEAR 60 OVER THE NW HALF...QUITE
COMFORTABLE TO WHAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR MOST OF JUNE. FCST
HIGHS ON THU GENERALLY AROUND 80 TO THE LOWER 80S...SUPPORTED BY
NAM LLVL THICKNESS PATTERN.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MOSTLY CLR SKY ERLY THIS AFTN AS FRNT REMAINS WELL TO THE W OF THE
FORECAST AREA... RADAR SHOWING SHRWS/TSTMS DVLPING ALG THE VA/WV
BORDER. INITIAL SHRTWV COULD SPARK SCT SHRA/TSRA LATE AFTN. SW WNDS
WITH GUST TO ARND 20 KT THRU THE AFTN INTO ERLY EVE. ACTIVITY
LOOKS TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD TNT ALONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO
EARLY TUE AM BEFORE LESS ORGANIZED/SCATTERED ACTIVITY OCCURS AFT 06Z
TUE. HAVE CB IN ALL TAFS BEGINNING THIS AFTN ANDOVERNIGHT HRS.
HAVE -RA SBY/ORF/PHF BUT WILL NEED TO MONITOR ALL SITES FOR TSTM
ACTIVITY WHERE IFR VIS LIKELY IN HEAVIER SHWRS.
AFTER INITIAL ACTIVITY MOVES OFFSHORE EARLY TUE AM LOOK FOR SOME
MORE DVLPMNT TUE AFTN/EVE OVER THE CWA WITH MAIN (SECONDARY) FRONTAL
BOUNDARY SLOWLY PUSHING N/S THROUGH THE RGN. ONCE AGAIN LOOK FOR
MVFR/IFR VSBYS (POSSIBLY BRIEF LIFR) IN MOD/HVY RAIN IN SHRA/TSRA
ACTIVITY. FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY HANG UP NEAR THE VA/NC BORDER INTO
WED AND MAY ALLOW FOR MORE SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY TO DVLP IN THE LATE
AM/PM HRS OVER FAR SRN VA/NE NC.
&&
.MARINE...
SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO PICK UP ALONG THE NRN AND CENTRAL COASTAL
WATERS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. AS SUCH...HAVE CONTINUED SCA
HEADLINES AS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. WINDS STILL SHOWN TO INCREASE AFTER
SUNSET AS TEMPS FALL AND MIXING CAN ONCE AGAIN DVLP TWRDS THE WATER
SFC. THIS WILL BE MORE APPARENT IN THE SOUTHERN CHESAPEAKE BAY BY
SUNSET WHERE WINDS WILL BE IN THE 15-20 KT RANGE WITH WAVES BUILDING
TO 3-4 FEET AT THE MOUTH OF THE BAY. THEREFORE...HAVE HOISTED AN SCA
FOR THE SOUTHERN CHESAPEAKE BAY ZONE 632 UNTIL 4 AM TUESDAY.
ANY SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY CAN ALSO BRING DOWN STRONGER WINDS IN
EXCESS OF 34 KTS THIS EVE INTO ERLY STAGES OF TUE. SEAS SUBSIDE
UNDER 5 FT TWRDS TUE DAYBREAK...AND UNDER 4 FEET AT THE MOUTH OF THE
CHESAPEAKE BAY.
CHCS FOR SHRA/TSRA TUE AFTN/EVE SPILLING OVER THE WATERS AND AGAIN
POSSIBLE FOR SOME INTO WED AM (ESP OFF SE VA/NE NC WATERS). POSSIBLE
LOW LVL SURGE BEHIND FRONTAL PASSAGE WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS LOOKS A
BIT MORE CERTAIN THIS AFTERNOON...BUT DUE TO CURRENT HEADLINES IN
EFFECT...WILL NOT HOIST AN SCA ATTM AND WILL LET LATER SHIFTS
EVALUATE FURTHER.
HIGH PRES TO GRDLY BUILD INTO RGN/OVR WTRS LATE IN THE WEEK. HAVE
GENRLY FOLLOWED LOCAL WAVE GUID FOR THE BAY/SND...BLENDED LOCAL
