The episode as NWS RNK wrote it up.
A seasonably moist air mass (low to mid-60s dew points) resided over the region as an upper level storm system over the eastern U.S. tracked into the central Appalachians and provided the impetus for a few severe storms mainly over the mountains.
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 Jul 31, 8:52 PM EST, 43 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 952 PM EDT TUE JUL 31 2012 .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL KEEP THE AREA IN A FAVORED PATTERN FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO LATE WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA WEDNESDAY BEFORE DISSIPATING WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN LATE IN THE WEEK RESULTING IN SOMEWHAT DRIER AND WARMER WEATHER FOR THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 935 PM EDT TUESDAY... LATEST WRFARW-RNK SHOWED CONVECTION WEAKENING AND DISSIPATING OVERNIGHT. THIS SAME TREND WAS SHOWEN ON NAM AND GFS. ADJUSTED POPS FOR THE LATEST KFCX 88D TRENDS WITH CONVECTION SPILLING A LITTLE FURTHER EAST THAN FIRST THOUGHT. IN GENERAL...INCREASED POPS IN THE SOUTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA AND NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS OF NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THEN...CLUSTERS OF SHRA/TSRA SHOULD GRADUALLY WEAKEN WITH THE LOSS OF SOLAR HEATING. KEPT THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE NORTHWEST TONIGHT AND THE LOWEST POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST. SHORTWAVE TO OUR WEST WILL ARRIVE OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY AND MAY TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA. EXPECT A WEAKENED STATE TO ANY STORMS...SO HELD ON TO SOME LOW POPS MAINLY NORTHWEST THRU THE OVERNIGHT. AREAS OF FOG WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT ESPECIALLY WHERE HEAVY RAIN OCCURRED. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE MID 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST. EXPECT ANOTHER ACTIVE THUNDERSTORM DAY ON WEDNESDAY WITH A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. AS OF 745 PM EDT TUESDAY... RAISED POPS IN THE WEST THIS EVENING WITH AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION. PLAYED THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE NORTHWEST. MODIFIED TEMPERATURES ACCORDING TO LATEST TREND. ADJUSTED POPS AND CLOUDS IN THE EAST FOR LATEST TRENDS. MORE ADJUSTMENTS LATER TONIGHT. AS OF 300 PM EDT TUESDAY... CONVECTION REMAINS QUITE WIDELY SCATTERED AND MAINLY OVER THE FAR WESTERN PERIMETER OF THE CWA ATTM...ALONG THE ELONGATED CONVERGENCE ZONE STRETCHING FROM THE SE STATES INTO THE GREAT LAKES. IN ADDITION THE CWA REMAINS IN BETWEEN THE REMNANT MCS THAT PASSED WELL SOUTH EARLIER...THE CORE OF THE 5H TROF TO THE NORTH...AND THE NEXT SHORTWAVE SEEN IN WATER VAPOR BACK IN THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS COMBO WITH RATHER WEAK INSTABILITY PER CAPES OF 1500 J/KG OR SO...AND THE LEFTOVER POCKET OVER THE SE WHERE EARLIER FOG/STRATUS HAS LIMITED DEVELOPMENT...MAKES ADDED TSRA COVERAGE INTO THE EVENING RATHER IFFY. SHORT TERM MODELS AGAIN REMAIN OVERDONE AS EXPECT WILL SEE MORE OUTFLOW DRIVEN CLUSTERS OF SHRA/TSRA MOUNTAINS THAT SHOULD GRADUALLY PROPAGATE EAST AND PERHAPS WORK OVER THE BLUE RIDGE BEFORE LOSS OF HEATING. THEREFORE HAVE CONTINUED A SCATTERING OF POPS INTO EARLY EVENING WITH HIGHEST VALUES WEST-NORTH AND LOWER CHANCES SE. STILL SOME ISOLATED PULSE SVR/HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL SO KEEPING MENTION IN THE HWO INTO THE EVENING. NEXT UPSTREAM WAVE WILL ARRIVE OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY WED AND MAY TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA BUT TIMING SUGGESTS A WEAKENED STATE TO ANY STORMS...SO ONLY KEEPING SOME LOW POPS MAINLY NW THRU THE OVERNIGHT. SHOULD AGAIN BE FOG AROUND ESPCLY WHERE RAIN OCCURRED BUT NOT LOOKING AT THE DEGREE OF STRATUS TNGT GIVEN THE FLOW TURNING LIGHT SOUTH/SW. TEMPS SHOULD AGAIN FALL OFF TO MOSTLY 60S WITH A FEW 50S IN THE VALLEYS SIMILAR TO THIS MORNING. DECENT VORT LOBE TO THE NW TRACKS ACROSS AND JUST EAST OF THE CWA ON WED WITH THE MAJORITY OF DEEPER MOISTURE WORKING INTO THE PIEDMONT DURING MAX HEATING. HOWEVER WEAK SFC WAVE NEAR THE COAST MAY INJECT JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE TO PRODUCE MORE SCTD TSRA WEST INTO THE MOUNTAINS JUST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT DROPPING IN FROM THE NW. DRYING ALOFT MAY TEND TO LIMIT COVERAGE BUT GIVEN ONLY WEAK NW FLOW APPEARS ENOUGH RH TO POP SOME CLUSTERS/BANDS OF TSRA ESPCLY ALONG/EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. THUS ORIENTED CHANCE POPS OVER THE RIDGES IN SPOTS EARLY ON...SHIFTING EAST BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON. OTRW PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY AND A BIT WARMER UNDER MORE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT RESULTING IN HIGHS CLOSE TO 90 SE AND MOSTLY 80S ELSW. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 310 PM EDT TUESDAY... HEIGHTS SLOWLY RISE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY STRENGTHENS. THE SUBTLE WARMING ALOFT WILL KEEP STORMS MOSTLY RESERVED TO THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF EXTREME SW VA AND NW NC. MAXT WILL BE SIMILAR BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH MIDDLE 80S TO LOWER 90S. DEWPOINTS WILL FALL THROUGH THE 60S ACROSS MOST SPOTS BUT STAYING IN THE MIDDLE 60S ACROSS THE SOUTHSIDE AND PIEDMONT. ATTM THURSDAY SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT LESS ACTIVE AS FAR AS STORM DEVELOPMENT THAN FRIDAY. THE BERMUDA RIDGE SHIFTS WEST AND STRENGTHENS INTO THE LONG TERM. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 100 PM EDT TUESDAY... WEAK UPPER TROFFING/WEAKNESS EXPECTED TO PERSIST OVER THE MID ATLANTIC AND MID APPALACHIAN REGION THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AS AREA IS SANDWICHED BETWEEN BROAD BERMUDA HIGH TO THE EAST AND EXTENSIVE UPPER RIDGE FROM THE 4-CORNERS AREA INTO THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR ALOFT COMBINING WITH SUBTLE WEAK EMBEDDED SHORT WAVE TROFS MEANDERING EAST IN UPPER FLOW SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN DAILY THREAT FOR MAINLY DIURNALLY-DRIVEN WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THOUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD. A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SHORT WAVE TROF EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST-SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY...GRADUALLY FILLING AND LIFTING EAST-NORTHEAST BACK INTO SOUTHEASTERN CANADA BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. AT THE SAME TIME...WESTERN UPPER RIDGE EXPECTED TO AMPLIFY OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...SUPPORTING SUFFICIENT AMPLIFICATION OF DOWNSTREAM EASTERN TROF TO DRIVE COOL FRONT SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA BY/ON MONDAY PRECEDED AND ACCOMPANIED BY A MORE ORGANIZED LINE OF SHOWERS/STORMS...TO BE FOLLOWED BY SOMEWHAT COOLER AND DRIER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT BY TUESDAY...MOST NOTABLY FROM THE BLUE RIDGE WEST. HPC BIAS CORRECTED GUIDANCE USED TO POPULATE LONG RANGE GRIDDED FIELDS...WITH ONLY SUBTLE TWEAKS TO REFLECT TOPOGRAPHICALLY DRIVEN LOCAL CLIMATOLOGICAL BIASES AS/WHERE APPROPRIATE. && .AVIATION /02Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 810 PM EDT TUESDAY... CONVECTION CONTINUES ACROSS THE CWA THIS HOUR...BUT MOSTLY ON THE UPSLOPE SIDE OF THE ALLEGHANYS. TSRA ARE AVOIDING MOST OF THE TAF SITES AT THIS HOUR...BUT WILL NEED TO WATCH LWB...ROA...AND LYH FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WITH NEARBY STRONG CONVECTION AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THAT MAY SPARK NEW CONVECTION NEARBY. CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH IN ALL AREAS BY 04Z AT THE LATEST...LEAVING MOSTLY VFR MID TO HIGH-LEVEL OVERCAST OVERNIGHT. FOR WED...THE UPPER TROUGH DRIVING THE BULK OF THE CONVECTION WILL SHIFT EAST...WITH THE BEST DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. THUS...HAVE FOCUSED ON ADVERTISING AFTERNOON CONVECTION IN THOSE AREAS...AND LEFT IT OUT OF BLF/LWB...BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED WITH LATER MODEL RUNS. OTHERWISE...FAIRLY WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOULD LEAD TO IFR-LIFR BR/FG AND IFR-LIFR CIGS IN THE 08Z-12Z TIME FRAME WED...ESPECIALLY LWB/BLF/BCB...WITH LESS THREAT OF SUCH OCCURRING IN AREAS THAT RECEIVED LESS RAIN ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. WINDS...MOSTLY CALM OR VRB03KT OVERNIGHT...BECOMING SW-WNW THROUGH THE DAY WED AT SPEEDS 10KTS OR LESS. AS OF 1235 PM EDT TUESDAY... LOW CIGS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY IMPROVE TO VFR ESPCLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE WHERE FOG/STRATUS HAVE BEEN STUCK FOR MUCH OF THE MORNING. EXPECT THIS TREND TO PREVAIL INTO THE AFTERNOON WITH MAINLY 4-6K FT CU FIELDS FOR MOST SPOTS UNTIL LOSS OF HEATING. THE MAIN THREAT OF SLOW MOVING MULTICELLULAR STORMS CONTINUES IN THE WESTERN LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM KLWB-KBCB THIS AFTERNOON. OVERALL...COVERAGE WILL BE SCATTERED ELSEWHERE BUT CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF ALL MOST TAF SITES IN THE AFTN SO KEPT IT IN. SHOULD SEE A QUICK WEAKENING TREND TO CONVECTION THIS EVENING AS THE SHORTWAVE PASSES. HOWEVER...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE UPSTREAM MAY BRING SHOWERS INTO THE KLWB/KBLF AREA THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING. CIGS MAY DROP AGAIN LATE TUE NIGHT AS WELL AS VSBYS DEPENDING ON EXTENT OF RAINFALL...AND CLEARING SKIES SO LOWERED CIGS/VSBYS TO IFR/MVFR MOST SPOTS EXCLUDING KROA BUT NOT AS LOW AS LAST NIGHT. THE DAILY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES THROUGH THE WEEK BUT SHOULD BECOME MORE WIDELY SCATTERED WEDNESDAY...AND ISOLATED THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN FROM THE WEST. MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO RETURN OVER THE WEEKEND WITH DIURNAL BOUTS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS LIKELY WITH MOSTLY AFTERNOON/EVENING MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AT TIMES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. OUTSIDE OF THIS MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION...THE ONLY OTHER FLIGHT WEATHER HAZARDS WOULD BE FROM OVERNIGHT VALLEY FOG. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...NONE. NC...NONE.
