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 Wakefield, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 9, 3:31 PM EST, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA 431 PM EDT SUN JUN 9 2013 .SYNOPSIS... A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT INTO AND ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY EVENING. ANOTHER FRONT WILL DROP ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...

NO SVR TSTMS EXPECTED...BUT GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS POSSIBLE IN ANY TSTMS...DUE TO PW'S UP TO 2 INCHES. WARM AND HUMID TNGT WITH LOWS IN THE UPR 60S TO LWR 70S. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... ANOTHER WET PERIOD EXPECTED ACRS THE AREA MON THRU MON NGT...AS UPR LVL TROF APPROACHES FM THE WNW ALLOWING AN ASSOC COLD FRNT TO ADVANCE E AND INTO THE FA TUE MORNG. MODELS CONTINUE TO FCST ABUNDANT MOIST AHEAD OF THIS BNDRY...AND GIVEN THE JUICY AIRMASS OVR THE AREA...HAVE CAT (80%) OR LIKELY (60-70%) POPS OVR THE ENTIRE REGION FOR MON AFTN/EVENG. LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER EVENT WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE INSTEAD OF ANY SVR. COULD RECEIVE BETWEEN .50 AND 1.50 INCHES OF RAIN DURING THIS TIME. MAX TEMPS ON MON WILL BE IN THE LWR TO MID 80S. LOWS MON NGT IN THE MID 60S TO LWR 70S. UPR TROF/COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACRS THE AREA DURING TUE...THEN MOVE WELL OFF THE CST BY WED MORNG. SCTD SHOWERS AND TSTMS POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME.

PRTLY TO MSTLY SNY AND VRY WARM ON WED...IN ADVANCE OF NEXT FRNTL BNDRY. HIGHS 85 TO 90. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... W-NW FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPS ON WED AS HIGH PRESSURE AMPLIFIES OVER THE PLAINS STATES. THIS WILL RESULT IN UNSETTLED WEATHER ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION WED NIGHT INTO THU. INITIALLY...A LEE TROUGH DEVELOPS BEHIND THE FROPA TUE NIGHT AND LINGERS OVER THE AREA INTO WED NIGHT. AS WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY TRAVELS THROUGH THIS PROGRESSIVE FLOW PATTERN...THE LEE TROUGH WILL PROVIDE JUST ENOUGH OF A FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WED NIGHT INTO EARLY THU MORNING. AN OPEN H5 TROUGH/WEAK SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED SFC LOW PRESSURE (ALSO WEAK) WILL PUSH ACROSS THE AREA THU AFTN THROUGH LATE EVENING. THE COMBINATION OF INCREASED INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND TEMPS NEAR 90 WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS TO THE AREA. THE SFC FRONT STALLS JUST OFF THE COAST THU NIGHT INTO FRI AS THE UPPER TROUGH IS SLOW TO PASS OFFSHORE UNTIL FRI EVENING. DRYING NW FLOW IS ANTICIPATED TO MOVE IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING SFC BOUNDARY LATE THU NIGHT AND IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS BROAD-SCALE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC AND SRN STATES. && .AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... MOSTLY VFR CONDS ACROSS THE REGION. A WARM BNDRY LIES ACROSS SRN VA AND NE NC TODAY AND COULD BE THE FOCUS OF SOME SCATTERED AFTN/EVENING SHOWERS/TSTMS ESPECIALLY FOR ORF AND PHF. THE BNDRY IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTH TONIGHT AND ALONG WITH A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST...WILL BRING INCREASING CLOUDS TONIGHT AND THE CHC FOR RAIN THRU MON MORNING. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF CLOUDS LOWERING TO NEAR MVFR CONDS DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND PERSISTING INTO MID TO LATE MON MORNING. WINDS WILL BE MOSTLY E-S 10 KT OR LESS THRU THE DAY. THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL PROVIDE FOR MORE INSTABILITY AND CHC FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/TSTMS FOR MON AFTN AND EVENING. CLOUD CIGS WILL LIKELY VARY BETWEEN VFR AND MVFR CONDS THRU THE DAY. THE FRONT WILL LINGER OVER THE REGION THRU MID WEEK PROVIDING FOR UNSETTLED WX EACH DAY. && .MARINE... THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AS A WEAK BOUNDARY IS SLOW TO MOVE OUT OF THE AREA. THIS BOUNDARY WILL LIFT FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AS A WARM FRONT OVERNIGHT AND BRING ADDITIONAL SHOWERS TO THE WATERS. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN CROSS THE WATERS LATE MON EVENING. AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP INLAND MON AFTN AND PUSH OVER THE WATERS THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS MON NIGHT. LOW-END SCA GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE MON AFTN INTO MON NIGHT (PRIMARILY FOR CHES BAY...CURRITUCK SOUND AND THE MOUTH OF THE JAMES RIVER) DUE TO A S-SW WIND DIRECTION AND TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE WATERS. HOWEVER...THE COMBINATION OF WAA...CLOUD COVER AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL LIKELY SQUASH ANY CHANCES FOR WIND GUSTS IN THESE LOCATIONS FROM GETTING MUCH HIGHER THAN ABOUT 20 KT (COASTAL WATERS SHOULD GUST BTWN 20-25 KT). THERE IS STILL ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY IN THIS SCENARIO TO POSTPONE ISSUING SCA FLAGS AT THIS POINT. PLUS GIVEN THE CONVECTIVE SET-UP...MARINE WEATHER STATEMENTS (MWS'S) MAY BE THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE LOW-END SCA GUSTS. THE SFC COLD FRONT LINGERS ALONG THE COAST ON TUE...KEEPING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WATERS THROUGH THE DAY. DRIER AIR MOVING INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT TUE AFTN/EARLY EVENING MAY HELP TO MIX STRONGER WINDS TO THE SFC...HOWEVER WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY BE AROUND 15 KT FOR BAY/SOUND/RIVERS AND AROUND 15-20 KT OVER COASTAL WATERS. THE FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE LATE TUE EVENING...THEN WASHES OUT ON WED AS WINDS REMAIN SW AOB 15 KT ALL WATERS. WINDS BECOME WLY WED NIGHT AS A LEE TROUGH LINGERS OVER THE AREA IN THE WAKE OF THE FROPA ON TUE NIGHT. THIS BOUNDARY WILL PROVIDE JUST ENOUGH OF A FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WED NIGHT INTO EARLY THU MORNING. A WEAK SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED WEAK SFC LOW PRESSURE IS THEN EXPECTED TO PUSH ACROSS THE AREA THU AFTN THROUGH LATE EVENING...BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS TO AREA WATERS. THE SFC FRONT STALLS JUST OFF THE COAST THU NIGHT INTO FRI AND SHOULD KEEP A CHANCE OF SHOWERS ALONG THE COAST AS THE UPPER TROUGH IS SLOW TO PASS OFFSHORE UNTIL FRI EVENING. DRYING NW FLOW IS ANTICIPATED TO MOVE IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING SFC BOUNDARY LATE THU NIGHT AND IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS BROAD-SCALE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC AND SRN STATES. && .HYDROLOGY... WILL BE ISSUING A FLOOD WARNING FOR SEBRELL ON NOTTOWAY RIVER. ANOTHER .50 TO 1.50 INCHES QPF WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA (HIGHEST WRN HALF OF FA) INTO TUE MORNG.
