The episode as NWS RNK wrote it up.
An upper trough persisted across the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region. An associated cold front was situated just west of the region from Kentucky into western Tennessee. This front was finally progressing eastward and by the morning of the 11th was located across central Virginia. As the front approached the area from the west during the afternoon and evening, showers and thunderstorms developed in the warm, humid air mass across the region. One of these briefly became severe and produced minor wind damage in the Lexington area.
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 Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 10, 3:04 PM EST, 2 hours 38 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 404 PM EDT FRI AUG 10 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS OVER THE MID ATLANTIC TONIGHT...WHICH WILL TRIGGER NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ONCE THE COLD FRONT DEPARTS LATER TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL ARRIVE TO PROVIDE COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 400 PM EDT FRIDAY... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOW FIRING OVER THE MID ATLANTIC AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SURFACE FRONT...WHICH IS STILL LOCATED OVER KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE. HOWEVER...THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER CONTINUES TO DWINDLE DUE TO LACK OF INSTABILITY. CLOUD COVER IS STILL EXPANSIVE OVER THE AREA. NEVERTHELESS...THE RISK CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT IF ANY OF THE STORMS BECOME MORE ORGANIZED LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. POPS WERE BUMPED UPWARD IN THE WEST SOME MORE TO REFLECT CURRENT RADAR TRENDS. SOME SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY SPILL OVER INTO THE OVERNIGHT...BEFORE SLOWLY TAPERING OFF FROM WEST TO EAST. A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE COLD FRONT COULD SLOW IT DOWN BRIEFLY...SO CHANCE POPS WERE STILL KEPT ALONG THE EASTERN BORDER OF THE CWA. SOME PATCHY FOG WILL DEVELOP WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE IN FAVORED MOUNTAIN VALLEYS...BUT SOME LINGERING LOW CLOUD COVER WILL PROBABLY IMPEDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOG FURTHER EAST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOWER 60S WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S IN THE PIEDMONT. BY SATURDAY...THE SURFACE FRONT WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE TOWARD THE COAST...BUT LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH. THE BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN WERE KEPT IN THE PIEDMONT. AS HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS DRIER AIR FROM THE WEST...DEWPOINTS SHOULD DROP INTO THE 50S IN SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA. IT WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER OVERALL...WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING THE MID TO UPPER 70S IN THE WEST...AND LOW TO MID 80S IN THE EAST. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM EDT FRIDAY... FORECAST MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT THIS AFTERNOON THAT THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA NEAR THE EASTERN EDGE OF OUR FORECAST AREA SATURDAY NIGHT...AS THE PARENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES NORTH FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO SOUTHERN CANADA. DO NOT EXPECT ANY THREAT OF ADDITION STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE EAST...BUT WILL STILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. A FEW MODELS...PARTICULARLY THE GFS AND THE ECMWF...ARE HINTING AT A WAVE DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT IN THE CAROLINAS ON SATURDAY NIGHT WHICH COULD BRING PROLONGED RAINFALL EAST OF DANVILLE TO LYNCHBURG LINE. THE THREAT OF WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN IS LOW...HOWEVER LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WOULD BE POSSIBLE WHERE THUNDERSTORMS BEGIN TO TRAIN OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS. IN ANY EVENT...AS THIS WAVE PASSES NORTHEAST TOWARD THE DELMARVA...IT WILL HELP SHIFT THE COLD FRONT FURTHER TOWARD THE COAST...BRINGING AN END TO RAINFALL BY LATE SUNDAY MORNING. ASIDE FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS ON SUNDAY...WE CAN EXPECT MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY EVENING AS HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES OUR DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE. BY LATE MONDAY NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE EAST...AND WE WILL BEGIN TO SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY APPROACH FROM THE WEST AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT ENTERS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 125 PM EDT THURSDAY... A PERSISTENT UPPER RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BE PARKED OVER THE WESTERN U.S. DURING THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST. THIS WILL HELP MAINTAIN A PATTERN OF TROUGHINESS ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. ALONG WITH DISTINCT STRONGER LOWS/TROUGHS MOVING THROUGH AN OVERALL NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE REGION. THE FIRST OF THESE FEATURES IS EXPECTED TO BRING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. ANTICIPATE INCREASED CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND STORMS IN ADVANCE...AND COINCIDENT TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...RESIDUAL MOISTURE AND A NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT WITH HELP MAINTAIN CLOUDS AND ISOLATED UPSLOPE RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...THERE ARE NOTABLE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND THE ECMWF. THE GFS SUGGESTS THE AREA WILL TREND DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. THE ECMWF SOLUTION ALLOWS THE FRONT TO REMAIN CLOSER TO THE AREA...AND A OH/TN TROUGH RIDES ALONG THE FRONT AND BRINGS SOMEWHAT ORGANIZED PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA...AND TEMPERATURES DO NOT DECREASE AS COMPARED TO TUESDAY. OUR GRIDS WILL REFLECT THE GUIDANCE OFFERED BY HPC WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT PRECIPITATION DURING THIS PERIOD...BUT NOES NOT GO AS SIGNIFICANT AS THE ECMWF. THIS SOLUTIONS ALSO DOES MAINTAINS MILDER TEMPERATURES COMPARED TO THE GFS MEX NUMBERS. REGARDLESS OF WHICH SOLUTIONS IS CORRECT FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF CONVERGE AGAIN ON A SIMILAR SOLUTION FOR FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. OUR NEXT SIGNIFICANT UPPER LOW/TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO BE MOVING EASTWARD THROUGH CANADA...WITH ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE REGION ON FRIDAY. WHILE THE ECMWF IS ABOUT SIX HOURS FASTER WITH THE SOLUTION...BOTH STRONGLY HAVE THE FEATURE. ANTICIPATE AS WE GET CLOSE TO NEXT FRIDAY...REALITY WILL BE A FRONT SLOWER THAN THAN EITHER OF THESE SOLUTIONS CURRENTLY OFFER. HAVE FOLLOWED CLOSELY WITH OUTPUT OFFERED BY HPC FOR THIS PERIOD. && .AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 200 PM EDT FRIDAY... CEILINGS HAVE LIFTED BACK UP TO VFR THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MVFR CEILINGS STILL PERSISTING IN BLF. BROKEN LINES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING OVER KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE...AND ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING EASTWARD ALONG THE ADVANCING SURFACE FRONT. A FEW SHOWERS ARE ALSO POPPING UP OVER WEST VIRGINIA AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THUS...THUNDERSTORMS WERE KEPT IN ALL THE TAFS. THE TIMING OF THE CONVECTION HAS SLOWED DOWN SEVERAL HOURS FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. THE TIME RANGE BETWEEN 20Z AND 03Z NOW SEEMS MOST FAVORABLE FOR THUNDERSTORMS. ONCE THE PRECIPITATION SUBSIDES TONIGHT...THE MOIST GROUND WILL PROVIDE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME MVFR FOG IN BLF AND BCB. LWB IS MOST LIKELY TO DROP TO LIFR WHEN THE WINDS TURN CALM OVERNIGHT. MEANWHILE...TOO MUCH LOW CLOUD COVER WILL IMPEDE FURTHER FOG DEVELOPMENT TO THE EAST. BY SATURDAY MORNING...A DRIER AIR MASS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA...AND PROMPT A RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE GOOD FLYING WEATHER THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL PROVIDE THE NEXT CHANCE OF ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...NONE. NC...NONE.
