The episode as NWS RNK wrote it up.
An amplified ridge over the central U.S. set the stage for scattered to numerous severe storms during the day as several short-wave disturbances dropped southeast across the southern Appalachians while surface conditions became remained very warm and unstable under the intense early July sun. Surface temperatures approached 100F over the piedmont during the afternoon creating steep lapse rates as well.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1218 PM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT...RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ONGOING HEAT
WAVE...WILL VERY SLOWLY WEAKEN AND SHIFT SLIGHTLY FURTHER SOUTH
THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK. A SERIES OF UPPER-LEVEL
DISTURBANCES WILL TRACK FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS A RESULT. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 945 AM EDT SUNDAY...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 441 REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM. THUNDERSTORM
COMPLEX NEAR HILLSVILLE CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS CWA.
GUSTY WINDS SPREADING EAST AHEAD OF THE THUNDERSTORMS. ADJUSTED
POPS AND MOVEMENTS. MODIFIED TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS. ZFP
ALREADY OUT.
AS OF 945 AM EDT SUNDAY...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 441 IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON.
UPDATED GRIDS FOR WATCH AND INCREASED POPS THIS MORNING. TSTM
COMPLEX TO OUR WEST ACROSS NE KY THIS MORNING WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST
INTO OUR CWA THIS MORNING INTO THIS AFTERNOON. ADDED THE MENTION
OF GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL TO ZFP WORDING. ISC GRIDS...HWO AND ZFP
ARE ALREADY OUT. MORE UPDATES AS DAY PROGRESSES.
AS OF 420 AM EDT SUNDAY...
CONCERNS TODAY REVOLVE AROUND HEAT AND CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN.
STRONG UPPER RIDGE...594 DM...RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ALL TIME RECORD
HEAT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS AND SOUTHEAST
STATES...CONTINUES TO SAG EVER SO SLOWLY SOUTH. THE 00Z MODEL RUNS
SHOWED THE CENTER OF THE HIGH NEAR SAV. HOWEVER...THE HIGH WILL
MEANDER ABOUT GA FOR ANOTHER 36-48 HOURS...BEFORE WEAKENING
FURTHER AND BECOME SOMEWHAT RE-ESTABLISHED IN A WEAKER STATE
ACROSS THE MIDWEST. THIS WILL ALLOW DEEPER NW FLOW FROM AN UPPER
TROUGH IN THE CANADIAN MARITIMES TO IMPINGE ON THE AREA. THIS WILL
IN TURN RESULT IN TWO EFFECTS...A VERY SLIGHT COOLING...AND A
CONTINUED CHANCE OF NW FLOW CONVECTION. FOR TODAY...THERE APPEARS
TO BE A FAVORED BAND FOR CONVECTION ADVERTISED BY MOST MODELS
EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL IL...SOUTHERN IN...NORTHERN KY...CENTRAL
WV...CENTRAL/SW VA TO SE VA. HENCE...MOST OF OUR CWA SHOULD SEE AT
LEAST SCATTERED CONVECTION TODAY. THE MOST FAVORED AREA FOR
CONVECTION SHOULD BE ACROSS SW VA...GENERALLY WEST OF I-77...SE
WV UPSLOPE AREAS...AND THE MOUNTAINS OF NW NC. SEVERAL OF THE
MODELS...MOST NOTABLY THE WRF...INDICATE CONVECTION IN AN W-E BAND
THROUGH MORNING ACROSS SE WV/CENTRAL VA...FOCUSING HEAVILY ACROSS
FAR SW VA/NE TN/NW NC DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. HENCE...HAVE
TAILORED POPS IN THAT DIRECTION. CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH WITH THE
LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.
FOR TEMPS...850 TEMPS IN GENERAL DROP ONLY 1-2C THROUGH MON...SO
ANY COOLING WILL BE VERY MINIMAL. BEST COOLING EFFECT WILL BE
FROM CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY
AND CONVECTION DURING THE AFTERNOON. MAV/MET GIVING 103/100,
RESPECTIVELY...FOR ROA AGAIN TODAY. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD
CONSECUTIVE DAY OF 100+ FOR ROA. THE LAST TIME THERE WERE THREE OR
MORE 100+ DAYS AT ROA WAS AUGUST 1983. MIN TEMPS WILL ALSO REMAIN
WELL ABOVE NORMAL...AND WITH SLIGHTLY INCREASED DEWPOINTS...MOST
AREAS WILL REMAIN AOA 70 AGAIN MON MORNING...WITH MOUNTAIN VALLEYS
AND ELEVATIONS ABOVE 3000 FT IN THE MID 60S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 345 AM EDT SUNDAY...
NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE FORECAST THINKING FOR THE EARLY HALF OF THE
WORKWEEK AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO EXTEND FROM THE
CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES...ALTHOUGH THE RIDGE IS
EXPECTED TO WEAKEN SOMEWHAT ACROSS OUR AREA BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
ON MONDAY...WILL EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF VERY WARM TEMPERATURES...
HOWEVER CLOUD COVER WILL BE A LITTLE MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE AREA
AS A WEAK COLD FRONT SINKS SOUTHWARD FROM THE GREAT LAKES REGION.
THIS CLOUD COVER WILL HELP KNOCK A FEW DEGREES OFF THE HIGHS WE
EXPERIENCED THIS WEEKEND...BUT STILL EXPECT MONDAY HIGHS TO RANGE
FROM THE UPPER 80S AND LOW 90S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...TO THE UPPER
90S ACROSS THE PIEDMONTS. ALSO...MODELS ARE HINTING AT THE
POSSIBILITY OF A THUNDERSTORM SYSTEM DEVELOPING IN THE CENTRAL OHIO
RIVER VALLEY ON MONDAY AFTERNOON...AND THEN CROSSING WEST VIRGINIA
INTO OUR FORECAST AREA DURING THE EVENING. NOT HIGHLY CONFIDENT IN
THIS SCENARIO AT THIS POINT...BUT IF IT DOES COME TO PASS...THE VERY
WARM TEMPERATURES ACROSS OUR AREA WILL HAVE THE ATMOSPHERE PRIMED
FOR ANOTHER SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK. THIS IS SOMETHING WE WILL WATCH
CLOSELY TODAY AND MONDAY.
FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THE WEATHER PATTERN TRANSITIONS SOMEWHAT
AS THE FRONT LIFT BACK TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT...AND A TROUGH
DEVELOPS ALONG THE EASTERN FACE OF THE APPALACHIANS. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS BOTH OF THESE DAYS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MORE DIURNALLY
DRIVEN...DEVELOPING ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
SPREADING EASTWARD...BEFORE FADING AWAY DURING THE LATE EVENING ONCE
DAYTIME HEATING HAS ENDED. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE
QUITE WARM...RANGING FROM THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS...TO THE UPPER 90S ACROSS THE PIEDMONTS.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 345 AM EDT SUNDAY...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL STAY IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE END
OF THE COMING WORKWEEK AS A COLD FRONT DRIFTS SLOWLY SOUTHWARD
ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY ON THURSDAY...AND EVENTUALLY THROUGH
OUR AREA ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. BY THE TIME THE FRONT MAKES IT
THROUGH OUR AREA...IT APPEARS THAT IT WILL BE WEAKENED TO THE POINT
WHERE THERE IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE IN TEMPERATURES ON EITHER SIDE OF
THE BOUNDARY...AND WE CAN STILL EXPECT MID TO UPPER 80S ACROSS MOST
OF THE MOUNTAINS...AND LOWER 90S ACROSS THE PIEDMONTS FOR FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY HIGHS. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE DOES BUILD INTO OUR AREA BEHIND
THE FRONT HOWEVER...AND WE CAN EXPECT LOWER RAIN CHANCES FOR FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /16Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 1217 PM EDT SUNDAY...
MAIN CONCERN FOR THE TAF SITES TODAY WILL BE AFTERNOON/EVENING
TSRA AND GUSTY WINDS.
MCS...NOW LOCATED NEAR HILLSVILLE CONTINUE TO TRACKING SE
ACROSS THE RNK CWA. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITH
THUNDERSTORMS. OTHERWISE...EXPECT MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS. HAZE IS
ON THE INCREASE...BUT STILL MOSTLY 6SM OR BETTER EXPECTED. PATCHY
FOG EARLY MONDAY MORNING CANNOT BE RULED OUT...BUT EXTENT AND
DURATION WILL BE DETERMINED BY CONVECTIVE COVERAGE LATE TODAY.
WINDS REMAINING MOSTLY NW...BUT AS USUAL RATHER CHAOTIC AND LIGHT
WEST OF THE ALLEGHANYS.
AS OF 200 AM EDT SUNDAY...
EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
THOUGH WILL LIKELY SEE MORE AREAS OF MVFR/IFR VISIBILITY DUE TO
FOG EARLY EACH MORNING FROM MONDAY ONWARD...ESPECIALLY AT KLWB AND
KBLF. ALSO...EXPECT TO SEE AN UPTICK IN AFTERNOON CONVECTION AND
ASSOCIATED SUB-VFR CONDITIONS AS THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM GRADUALLY WEAKENS AND DRIFTS WESTWARD TOWARD THE LOWER-MID
MS VALLEY. TERRAIN- INDUCED AFTERNOON CONVECTION CURRENTLY
ANTICIPATED MONDAY- WEDNESDAY.
