The episode as NWS RNK wrote it up.
Deep moisture and an upper level low, associated with the remnants of Hurricane Isaac, built into the forecast region, providing the fuel for scattered strong to severe thunderstorm activity. Precipitable water values were near 2 inches across the forecast area, which was more than double what is typically found during early September. With abundant moisture and decent instability, slow moving pulse thunderstorm activity developed mainly along and east of the Blue Ridge Mountains from late morning through sunset.

NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 2, 2:46 PM EST, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 346 PM EDT SUN SEP 2 2012 .SYNOPSIS... THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS THEY DRIFT EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. WITH DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE LINGERING ACROSS THE REGION...EXPECT WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN THROUGH AT LEAST MID- WEEK. DRIER AIR WILL FINALLY PUSH INTO THE AREA BY LATE IN THE WEEK AS A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS DROP SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 325 PM EDT SUNDAY... SHOWERS AND STORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON IN THE HEATING OF THE DAY WITHIN A MOISTURE RICH ATMOSPHERE AND CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY EVENING. THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF PRECIPITATION WILL EAST OF INTERSTATE 81 AND ALONG AND SOUTH OF VIRGINIA ROUTE 460 BETWEEN ROANOKE AND BUCKINGHAM. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE HEAVIER STORMS. LIKE LAST NIGHT...WE ARE EXPECTED COVERAGE TO WANE AFTER SUNSET. A DIFFERENCE TONIGHT WILL BE A PROGRESSIVELY MORE SOUTHEAST FLOW DEVELOPING. THIS WILL YIELD TO AN UPSLOPE MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND A FOCUS FOR CONTINUING SHOWERS ALONG AND NEAR THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. ANOTHER RELATIVELY MILD NIGHT IS EXPECTED THANKS TO THE MOIST CONDITIONS. LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 60S TO AROUND 70 IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE LOWER 70S EAST OF THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. ON LABOR DAY...BOTH THE PREVAILING...AND INCREASING...SOUTHEAST FLOW INTO THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND DIURNAL HEATING WILL CONTRIBUTE TO ANOTHER DAY OF SHOWERS AND STORMS SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA. THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION WILL BE ALONG THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND JUST TO THE EAST. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ALONG THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDE WILL BE AROUND AN INCH...WITH AMOUNTS ELSEWHERE AVERAGING TWO TO FOUR TENTHS. HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR MOST PARTS OF THE AREA WILL RANGE FROM THE LOW TO MID 80S. THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA WILL HAVE TEMPERATURES REACHING THE UPPER 70S. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 250 PM EDT SUNDAY... NOT A LOT OF CHANGE TO THE THINKING FROM YDA WITH THE UPPER VORT REMNANT OF ISSAC SPLITTING OFF TO THE SW OF THE AREA MON NIGHT/TUE AND THE SFC WAVE IN THE SRN OHIO VALLEY. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE DEEPEST TROPICAL PWATS TO ADVECT IN ON SOUTHERLY FLOW MONDAY NIGHT WITH FOCUS AIDED BY THE RESIDUAL FRONT STALLED ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. GOOD UPPER DIFFLUENCE TO THE NE OF THE UPPER LOW AND THEN BETTER LIFT ALONG THE ASSOCIATED SHEAR AXIS SHOULD INITIALLY COMBO WITH HEATING TO PRODUCE MORE WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA INCLUDING HEAVY RAIN MONDAY EVENING...WITH THIS BAND LIKELY LINGERING ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE INTO TUESDAY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ALSO SHOW A GOOD SETUP FOR HEAVY RAIN AND PERHAPS SOME TRAINING WITH GOOD LOW LEVEL VEERING AND UNIDIRECTIONAL MID LEVEL FLOW ABOVE. THUS RUNNING WITH HIGH LIKLEYS IN THE WEST INTO MONDAY EVENING...DIMINISHING A BIT ESPCLY OUT EAST OVERNIGHT...THEN INCREASING TO HIGH POPS AGAIN TUESDAY AS THE SETUP REMAINS ANCHORED BETWEEN THE VORT TO THE SW AND THE SURFACE LOW TO THE NORTH. HOWEVER WILL JUST KEEP MENTION IN THE HWO FOR NOW AND NOT UPGRADE TO A WATCH FOR 3RD/4TH PERIODS GIVEN CURRENT DRY ANTECEDENT CONDITONS AND SCTD NATURE TO CONVECTION. TEMPS CLOSE TO PREVIOUS WITH ENOUGH HEATING TO PUSH HIGHS BACK TO 75-80 WEST AND MID 80S SE TUESDAY. SUPPORT SLOWLY BEGINS TO STRING OUT TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WED AS THE REMNANT SURFACE WAVE EXITS TO THE NE AND THE UPPER LOW SINKS FARTHER SOUTH. IN BETWEEN EXPECT LEFTOVER TROPICAL JUICE TO KEEP SOME BANDS OF SHRA GOING TUESDAY NIGHT AND THEN A RENEWED ROUND ESPCLY BLUE RIDGE WED WITH HEATING. SOME GUIDANCE NOT QUITE AS MOIST BY WED AFTERNOON WITH WEAK WESTERLY FLOW PUSHING EAST ALOFT SO NOT EXPECTING AS MUCH COVERAGE BUT STILL SOME HEAVY RAINERS AROUND. TEMPS ALSO A BIT WARMER DURING WED GIVEN MORE BREAKS SO BUMPED HIGHS INTO THE LOW/MID 80S OVERALL. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 1230 PM EDT SUNDAY... DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANT OF ISAAC WILL FINALLY GET BOOTED SE DURING THURSDAY AHEAD OF AN INTIAL WEAK COLD FRONT THAT WILL DROPPING SE IN ADVANCE OF A DEVELOPING ERN 5H TROF. HOWEVER STILL ENOUGH LIFT WITH THE RESIDUAL SHEAR AXIS AND WEAK SURFACE TROF TO PROMPT ADDITIONAL SHRA WED NIGHT WITH PERHAPS YET ANOTHER ORGANIZED BAND ESPCLY EAST ON THURSDAY. THUS KEPT IN HIGH CHANCE POPS INTO THURSDAY WHICH MAY NEED TO GO HIGHER IN LATER UPDATES. BOUNDARY MAY TEND TO EDGE SOUTH OF THE AREA DURING FRIDAY BEFORE THE FLOW STARTS TO BACK AGAIN AHEAD OF A MORE POTENT WAVE ROUNDING THRU THE GREAT LAKES COLD POOL SAT. THIS FEATURE SHOULD PUSH A STRONGER SECONDARY COLD FRONT TOWARD THE APPALACHIANS SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY WITH A ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA/TSRA AS DEEPER MOISTURE MAKES A QUICK RETURN. JUST HOW FAST THE FRONT MOVES EAST IFFY GIVEN HINT OF A 5H CUTOFF DEVELOPING OVER THE OHIO VALLEY BY SUNDAY SO FOLLOWING A BIT OF A BLEND GIVEN UNCERTAINTY NEXT WEEKEND. OTRW APPEARS ENOUGH DRYING TO BASICALLY CUT POPS LATER THU NIGHT THRU FRIDAY NIGHT...THEN RETURNING TO CHANCE COVERAGE FROM WEST TO EAST LATER SATURDAY THRU SUNDAY. TEMPS TO REMAIN WARM/MUGGY THU WITH HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE 80S INTO FRIDAY ALTHOUGH A BIT LESS HUMID. MAY SEE THINGS COOL OFF SOME WITH SHRA SAT BUT MORESO SUNDAY PENDING THE FRONTAL TIMING WITH HIGHS LOW/MID 70S WEST AND LOW 80S EAST. && .AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... OVERALL PATTERN IS VERY SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY. REMNANTS OF ISAAC ARE DOING A SIT AND SPIN OVER THE OHIO VALLEY...WHICH LEAVES OUR AREA IN DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TRYING TO TIME A FEW WEAK SHORT WAVES MOVING THROUGH...THERE IS NOTHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON TO FOCUS CONVECTION. THUS...EXPECT CURRENT RADAR TRENDS TO CONTINUE SHOWING DEVELOPMENT OVER THE RIDGES AND MOVING EASTWARD INTO THIS EVENING. WITH DEEP MOISTURE...ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE COPIOUS RAIN PRODUCERS. EXPECT MAIN CONVECTION TO WANE AFTER SUNDOWN WITH RESIDUAL LIGHT SHOWERS AND SPRINKLES LINGERING FOR THE OVERNIGHT. DO NOT BELIEVE THERE WILL BE ENOUGH COVERAGE TO WARRANT A MENTION IN THE TAFS BUT THIS MAY CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING PRECIPITATION. LWB...BLF...AND BCB LOOK TO FOG IN WITH LOW STRATUS AGAIN TONIGHT AND MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE A BIT MORE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FOR ROA...LYH...AND DAN AS WELL. WILL BRING THE HAMMER DOWN FOR LWB...BLF...AND BCB BUT WILL NOT BE SO AGGRESSIVE AT THE OTHER LOCATIONS. EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION TOMORROW LATE IN THE PERIOD AND WILL TRY TO TIME A SHORT WAVE MOVING IN FROM THE EAST WITH A MENTION OF VCSH FOR LWB...BLF...AND BCB. EXPECT WINDS TO REMAIN ON THE LIGHT SIDE THROUGH THE PERIOD. TROPICAL PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY WITH THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC SLOWLY APPROACHING THE AREA. ANTICIPATE PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS WITH BRIEF IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS UNDER ANY STRONGER SHOWERS OR STORMS. LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING IFR/MVFR MOUNTAIN AND RIVER VALLEY FOG IS ALSO EXPECTED. BY THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA WITH A SURGE OF DRIER AIR BEHIND IT BY FRIDAY. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...NONE. NC...NONE.
