The episode as NWS RNK wrote it up.
The line of thunderstorms that developed in advance of a slow moving frontal boundary across central and eastern Virginia continued to develop southwestward during the late evening hours and eventually into north central North Carolina. With a very moist and unstable air mass present across the area, the thunderstorms quickly intensified to strong to severe levels producing damaging wind gusts in Caswell county.
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 1, 8:14 PM EST, 1 hour 7 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 914 PM EDT THU AUG 1 2013 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT FOLLOWED BY CLEARING SKIES ALONG WITH DRIER AIR LATER TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL BE ON ITS HEELS AND BRING A RETURN OF SHOWERS TO THE FORECAST ON SATURDAY. A STRONGER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 855 PM EDT THURSDAY... NOT A LOT OF CHANGE FROM THE EARLIER UPDATE AS SHRA/TSRA CONTINUE TO LINE UP ACROSS THE FAR SE JUST AHEAD OF THE INITIAL FRONT SLIDING OFF THE BLUE RIDGE. WITH SOME DECENT INSTABILITY STILL IN PLACE ALONG WITH POOLED SURFACE THETA-E...EXPECT CELLS IN REMAIN RATHER STRONG FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR SO BEFORE SLIDING SE AND FADING PER LOSS OF HEATING. OTHER ISOLATED SHRA IN BETWEEN THIS BOUNDARY AND THE ACTUAL UPSTREAM DEWPOINT FRONT TO THE NW SHOULD FADE GIVEN NW FLOW IN PLACE. HOWEVER ADDED SHRA/TSRA FARTHER NORTH WITH THE FINAL BOUNDARY MAY STILL CLIP THE FAR NW BEFORE WEAKENING CROSSING THE RIDGES SO LEAVING IN SOME LOW POP THERE...AND HIGH CHANCE TO LOW LIKELYS FAR SE A BIT LONGER. SKIES SHOULD FINALLY CLEAR AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH DRIER AIR ARRIVING ALOFT AND SOME DROP OFF IN DEWPOINTS ESPCLY WESTERN COUNTIES. THUS THINK SHOULD BE ABLE TO CUT BACK ON MOST POPS SHORTLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT WITH A GOOD AMOUNT OF FOG LATE WESTERN VALLEYS AND EAST WHERE EARLIER DOWNPOURS OCCURRED. BUMPED UP LOWS A LITTLE ESPCLY EAST WHILE THINK ENOUGH DRYING TO ALLOW SOME OF THE MOUNTAINS TO SLIP INTO THE 50S BY MORNING. PREVIOUS UPDATE AS OF 650 PM EDT THURSDAY... SENT A QUICK UPDATE TO RAISE POPS ACROSS THE VA PIEDMONT THIS EVENING AND MAY NEED TO GO HIGHER AS EXPECT CONVECTION TO COME TOGETHER BEFORE PUSHING SE AFTER DARK. THIS SUPPORTED BY LATEST MESO- ANALYSIS SHOWING A WEAK CONVERGENCE ZONE OVER THE SE AHEAD OF THE INITIAL FRONT WHICH IS STALLED BACK ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE. THINK ONCE ONGOING MIXES DECREASES WILL SEE STORMS INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS WINDS HAVE BACKED AROUND TO THE SW...WITH DEWPOINTS NUDGING UPWARD WHERE LOW LEVEL THETA-E CONTINUES TO POOL OVER SOUTHSIDE VA. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND THE SECOND FRONT TRACKING TO THE EAST COAST BY EARLY FRIDAY. THIS RIDGE WILL EASY ITS WAY EAST ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT...THEN BE CENTERED OVER THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS HIGH AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGHINESS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES AROUND NORMAL FRIDAY. SOME CLEARING MAY TAKE PLACE TO HAVE FOG DEVELOP LATE...THEN LIFT TO AFTERNOON POPCORN CUMULUS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. CONDITIONS LOOK VERY DRY IN THE LOW LEVELS TOMORROW WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S...THAT THESE CLOUDS SHOULD NOT PRODUCE ANY RAIN. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 240 PM EDT THURSDAY... GFS/ECMWF BLEND USED THIS PERIOD. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT WILL WEAKENS AND SHIFTS SOUTH SATURDAY AS FAST WNW FLOW BRINGS NEXT FRONT AND SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE AREA. MODELS DIFFER SOME ON THE EXTENT OF RAIN CHANCES...BUT KEPT OVERALL CHANCE POPS IN THE MOUNTAINS TO SLIGHT EAST GIVEN NW FLOW DRYING THE AIRMASS SOME LEE OF THE BLUE RIDGE. HEADING INTO SAT NIGHT-SUN ANOTHER SHORTWAVE...STRONGER THAN SATURDAYS MOVES ACROSS AND KEEP SOME CHANCE OF SHOWERS GOING...WITH UPPER TROUGH STARTING TO AMPLIFY OVER THE NORTHEAST SUNDAY ALLOWING SOME DRYING TO TAKE PLACE IN THE NORTH AND EAST AS FLOW TURNS NORTHWEST TO NORTH BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE. OVERALL...TEMPS WILL BE WARMING BACK TO SEASONAL NORMS SAT-SAT NIGHT THEN COOLING SOME SUNDAY. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 1230 PM EDT THURSDAY... INCLINED TO KEEP THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST SIMILAR TO THE ONE ISSUED YESTERDAY AS MODELS SHOWING DIFFERENCES IN TERMS OF AMPLIFICATION OF TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC NEXT WEEK AND INTERACTION WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTH. THE 00Z ECMWF IS MOST AMPLIFIED WHICH WAS DISREGARDED PER HPC...WITH MORE LEANING TOWARD AN ENSEMBLE OF THE GEFS/ECMWF. STILL BEARS WATCHING ON HOW DEEP INTO THE SOUTH THE FRONT GETS EARLY NEXT WEEK. WILL HOLD ONTO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE SOUTHWEST CWA AT LEAST INTO MONDAY NIGHT...THEN WAVY FRONT MAY SEND SOME MOISTURE BACK OUR WAY NEXT TUESDAY WITH 30 POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST TO SLIGHT CHANCE NW. THE TROUGH AMPLIFIES JUST ENOUGH TO KEEP ENHANCED MOISTURE TO THE SOUTH BUT CANNOT RULE OUT A DISTURBANCE PASSING ACROSS IN THE NW FLOW TO INTERACT WITH DAYTIME HEATING TO PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS WED...WITH ANOTHER FRONT SHIFTING TOWARD US FROM THE NORTHWEST BY THURSDAY. SO...THE PATTERN SHOULD BE FAVORABLE FOR SEASONAL TEMPS TO SOME BELOW NORMAL AT TIMES...AND NOT A COMPLETE WASHOUT NEXT WEEK...ALTHOUGH KEEP THE UMBRELLAS HANDY. && .AVIATION /01Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 710 PM EDT THURSDAY... WIND SHIFT FRONT REMAINS STALLED ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE BLUE RIDGE THIS EVENING WITH INSTABILITY LINGERING OUT EAST WHERE THE FLOW REMAINS MORE SW. EXPECT WILL SEE ADDED CONVECTION DEVELOP AND MOVE SE OF THE AREA AFTER LOSS OF HEATING ALTHOUGH LIKELY SLOWER THAN MOST GUIDANCE INDICATES. COULD EVEN SEE A SHRA/TSRA CLIP KDAN SO INCLUDING A VCTS MENTION THERE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...WHILE LEAVING OUT OF KLYH AS APPEARS MOST SHRA SHOULD STAY EAST OF THERE. OTRW EXPECTING VFR TO HOLD ELSW WITH A FEW ADDED SHRA AHEAD OF THE SECONDARY DEWPOINT FRONT CROSSING WVA ATTM. MOST OF THESE SHOULD QUICKLY FADE WITH LOSS OF INSOLATION GIVEN LESS SUPPORT/MOISTURE...WITH ONLY SOME BKN VFR CIGS SO NOT INCLUDING ANY VCSH MENTION IN MOST OTHER SPOTS OUTSIDE OF KBLF FOR NOW. SHOULD SEE BETTER DRYING ALOFT OVERNIGHT ONCE THE BOUNDARIES HEAD OFF TO THE SE LEADING TO MORE FOG/STRATUS LIKELY IN SPOTS ESPCLY VALLEYS AND WHERE ANY EARLIER SHRA OCCURRED. ALSO WESTERLY FLOW INTO THE UPSLOPE AREAS WILL LIKELY CAUSE ADDED LOW CIGS THERE ESPCLY AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH CIGS HANGING IN UNTIL MIDDAY OR EARLY AFTERNOON AT KBLF/KLWB. FOR NOW WILL KEEP MVFR TO IFR ACROSS THE SE WVA SITES AND A PERIOD OF IFR IN FOG AT KBCB. KDAN/KLYH HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME PATCHY MVFR LEVEL FOG AS RAOBS SUGGEST BOUNDARY LAYER SATURATION AT THESE SPOTS AROUND DAYBREAK. APPEARS KROA WILL STAY VFR UNDER A SLIGHTLY STRONGER NW BREEZE OVERNIGHT. LOW CONDITIONS QUICKLY IMPROVE ACROSS THE EASTERN SITES EARLY FRIDAY WITH MVFR LINGERING WEST. SHOULD SEE WIDESPREAD VFR ALL LOCATIONS FRIDAY AFTERNOON UNDER HIGH PRESSURE AND A LIGHT WEST TO SW TRAJECTORY. THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY EVENING INTO SUNDAY MORNING. ANTICIPATE A RETURN OF SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS AND SOME AREAS OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS. HIGH PRESSURE AND MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS RETURN BY MONDAY AND LINGER INTO TUESDAY BEFORE SOME AFTERNOON CONVECTION RETURNS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. EARLY MORNING FOG WILL AGAIN BE A POSSIBILITY ESPCLY VALLEYS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...NONE. NC...NONE.
