The episode as NWS RNK wrote it up.
An extended period of high wind impacting the northern mountains of North Carolina occurred from 3:00 am EST on January 29, 2013 into the early morning hours of February 1, 2013. On the 29th of January, damaging winds occurred from the south ahead of an approaching cold front. After the front crossed the area during the afternoon January 30, the very strong winds continued, but now from the northwest. These very strong northwest winds downed trees on Highway 194 near Todd during the early morning hours of February 1.
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 Jan 31, 11:33 PM EST, 27 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1133 PM EST THU JAN 31 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A FAST MOVING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL DIVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE REGION TONIGHT...EXITING FRIDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BRING A
SURGE OF MUCH COLDER AIR TO END THE WEEK WITH A PERIOD OF SNOW TO
THE MOUNTAINS. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 1130 PM EST THURSDAY...
CLIPPER IS ON TRACK MOVING THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. SHORT RANGE
GUIDANCE BRINGS HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA BEFORE 7AM/12Z. NO CHANGES TO THE HEADLINES NEEDED
AT THIS TIME...ALTHOUGH EMPHASIZED THE LOW WIND CHILL VALUES MORE
IN THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AREAS.
AS OF 245 PM EST THURSDAY...
ACTIVE FAST MOVING PATTERN CONTINUES DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS YET
ANOTHER STRONG MID LEVEL WAVE LOOKS TO DROP SE TOWARD THE NW
MOUNTAINS TONIGHT BEFORE THE CROSSING THE AREA EARLY FRIDAY. SLIGHT
BACKING AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE COMBO WITH UPSLOPE FLOW SHOULD
INITIATE ANOTHER MORE ORGANIZED AREA OF SNOW ESPCLY ALONG THE
WESTERN SLOPES OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. DESPITE LIGHT PROGGED
QPF...HIGH RATIOS AND SOME FORECAST INSTABILITY SUPPORT A GOOD 1-4
INCHES ALONG THE HIGHER RIDGES WITH SOME OF THIS PERHAPS SPILLING
EAST TO THE NEW RIVER VALLEY AND BLUE RIDGE LATE BEFORE THE COLUMN
DRIER OUT ALOFT. THEREFORE KEEPING HEADLINES SIMILAR TO
BEFORE...JUST UPPING POPS AND AMOUNTS SOME ESPCLY IN A 6-8 HOUR
WINDOW FROM AROUND MIDNIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY WHEN LIFT IS THE BEST.
BIGGER CONCERN IS WITH THE NEXT SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FEATURE AND ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG NW WINDS AND COLD ADVECTION
THAT ARRIVES LATER TONIGHT AND PERSISTS INTO MUCH OF FRIDAY.
MOMENTUM TRANSPORT OFF PROGGED SOUNDINGS SHOW GUSTS TO WARNING
CRITERIA OVER NW NC AND DECENT ADVISORY LEVELS OVER THE REST OF THE
MOUNTAINS GIVEN THE VERY STRONG PRESSURE RISES AND DROP IN 85H TEMPS
BY MORNING. THUS PLAN TO KEEP ADVISORY/WARNING HEADLINES GOING IN
THE WEST THROUGH MUCH OF FRIDAY TO AVOID CONFUSION DESPITE A LULL IN
WINDS THIS EVENING. WILL ALSO BE AOB WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA
ALONG SOME OF THE RIDGES BUT NOT WIDESPREAD ENOUGH FOR A SEPARATE
HEADLINE BUT WILL MENTION IN OTHER PRODUCTS. OTRW 85H TROF AXIS WITH
COLDEST AIR ALOFT TO CROSS THE REGION MIDDAY FRIDAY WHICH SHOULD
START TO ALLOW DRIER AIR TO WORK IN AND WINDS TO DIMINISH AS HIGH
PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST.
WILL BE MUCH COLDER WITH TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE TEENS WEST AND 20S
EAST TONIGHT...WITH LITTLE RECOVERY ON FRIDAY AS READINGS HOVER IN
THE TEENS TO MID 20S MOUNTAINS AND 30S OUT EAST.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM EST THURSDAY...
ON FRIDAY NIGHT...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION ALONG
WITH A FAST MOVING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. WE ARE EXPECTING A BREAK IN
THE SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY IN THE WEST...AND WINDS WILL SLACKEN AS
COMPARED TO THE DAYS PRIOR.
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ITS
ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL SWING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES
AREA AND IMPACT THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. UNLIKE YESTERDAY/S
SYSTEM...THE SYSTEM ON THE WEEKEND WILL BRING ITS MOISTURE WITH IT
AND NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH A FETCH OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS
SHOULD HELP MAINTAIN MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION CONFINED TO AREAS
ALONG AND WEST OF THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. SOME OF THE MODELS
ARE SUGGESTING A LOW TRACKING NORTH ALONG THE EAST COAST MIGHT
CONTRIBUTE SOME MOISTURE INTO EASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA...BUT
CONFIDENCE OF THIS IS NOT HIGH.
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY A LIGHT TO MODERATE MEASURABLE
SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED ACROSS PRIMARILY THE PREFERRED UPSLOPE AREA OF
SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA AND NEIGHBORING SECTIONS OF SOUTHWEST
VIRGINIA. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE NOTABLY LESS THE FARTHER
EAST TOWARDS THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. ADDITIONALLY...THE
PRECIPITATION MAY BE RAIN AND/OR SNOW SHOWERS ALONG THE CREST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
WHILE WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT
ON SATURDAY...VERY GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. MODEL GUIDANCE PLACES NORTHWEST
850 MB WINDS IN THE 45 TO 55 KT OVER THE REGION BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST
WIND ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS DURING AT
LEAST THE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY TIME PERIOD.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 341 PM EST THURSDAY...
A WEAK DISTURBANCE ARRIVES MONDAY NIGHT SPREADING LIGHT SNOW ACROSS
SE WEST VA. THIS SYSTEM MAY END UP TAKING A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK.
ADDITIONAL STRONGER WAVES WILL DIG OUT ANOTHER TROUGH ACROSS THE
MIDDLE ATLANTIC TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. H85 TEMPS ONLY FALL TO
ABOUT -10C WITH THIS COLD SHOT. HOWEVER...THE STRENGTH OF THIS WAVE
AND ITS EVENTUAL TRACK OFF THE CAROLINA COAST SUGGEST THAT THERE IS
SOME POTENTIAL FOR IT TO BE MORE IMPACTFUL THAN THE MODELS INDICATE
AT THIS TIME RANGE...ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS MORE AMPLITUDE IN THE
UPPER FLOW WHEN THE POTENTIAL EVENT NEARS. H85 TEMPS DO WARM ABOVE
0C FOR THE END OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1135 PM EST THURSDAY...
AN IMPRESSIVE ARCTIC DISTURBANCE MOVES IN OVERNIGHT AND SHOULD
BRING A PERIOD OF SNOW SHOWERS TO BLF/LWB AND MAYBE AS FAR EAST
AS ROA. WILL SEE MVFR TO IFR CIGS BETWEEN 06Z/1AM AND 12Z/7AM IN
THE MTNS WHILE THE EAST STAYS VFR. A VERY QUICK 2 INCHES OF SNOW
COULD ACCUMULATE AT BLF. WINDS COULD ALSO GUST TO 35KTS.
CONFIDENCE IS LOWER THAT THESE CONDS MAY ARRIVE AT BCB/ROA.
WINDS WILL PICK UP AGAIN AFTER THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH BY 12Z
FRI WITH GUSTS AGAIN TO 25-35 KTS ACROSS THE RIDGES. MAY TAKE
UNTIL LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON TO LIFT THE CEILINGS AT BLF AND LWB.
BUT HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE BUILDING IN BY EVENING SO THE WINDS AND
UPSLOPE CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL DIMINISH.
ANOTHER ROUND OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IS EXPECTED AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT
ASSOCIATED WITH YET ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE - CLIPPER TYPE
SYSTEM.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR MONDAY. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT MAY
BRING MVFR CIGS TO THE MOUNTAINS ON TUESDAY.
