The episode as NWS AKQ wrote it up.

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 Jul 15, 2:17 PM EST, 1 hour earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA 317 PM EDT TUE JUL 15 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY CROSS THE AREA TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... PLENTY OF MOISTURE SHOWING UP ON SATELLITE ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF THE FRONT. ALSO HAVE PLENTY OF LIFT DUE TO BEING IN THE RIGHT REAR QUAD OF THE UPPER JET WHICH IS LIFTING NORTHEAST THROUGH NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT. ALL THIS COMBINED WITH THE FRONT MOVING IN AND PLENTY OF INSTABILITY TO WORK WITH WILL GENERATE NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA. THE HRRR AND RUC ARE DOING A GOOD JOB DEPICTING ONE AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE EASTERN PART OF THE AREA AT THE SAME TIME ANOTHER AREA DEVELOPS ALONG THE WESTERN BORDER OF THE CWA. MODELS SHOW ALL THESE THUNDERSTORMS JUST SLOWLY MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. THE CORFIDI VECTORS ONLY SHOW SLOW PROPAGATION ACROSS THE AREA OF THESE STORMS. THIS COULD LEAD TO HEAVY RAINFALL IN SOME LOCATIONS. WILL NOT ISSUE ANY FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NOW AS MANY AREAS HAVE BEEN QUITE DRY. WILL HAVE TO WATCH SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA AS THIS COULD BE THE ONE AREA THAT HAS THE BEST CHANCE. SOME THUNDERSTORMS COULD ALSO PULSE UP AND BECOME SEVERE BUT THE BEST SHEAR IS MAINLY TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA. AFTER SUNSET THUNDERSTORMS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH BUT SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MOVE EAST AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS THE CWA. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE MAINLY IN THE 60S WHICH MATCHES MOSGUIDE. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES OFF THE COAST ON WEDNESDAY EXPECT THE SHOWERS TO END DURING THE EARLY MORNING IN THE WEST BUT TAKE UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON TO FINALLY END OVER NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA. THE CLOUDS AND SHOWERS WILL HOLD TEMPERATURES DOWN IN THE EAST WITH HIGHS ONLY AROUND 80 BUT OUT WEST WHERE THE SUN DOES COME OUT TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID 80S. IF CLOUDS LINGER IN THE WEST THE HIGHS COULD BE A LITTLE LOWER. BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST AND SKIES WILL CLEAR. THE HIGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. BY FRIDAY SOME MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO RETURN ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE HIGH AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE SOUTHEAST. EXPECT MOST OF THIS MOISTURE TO REMAIN WEST OF THE CWA SO STILL EXPECT A DRY DAY ON FRIDAY. FOLLOWED MOSGUIDE WITH HIGHS SLOWLY WARMING FROM THE MID 80S THURSDAY TO NEAR 90 BY FRIDAY. LOWS IN THE 60S POSSIBLY SOME UPPER 50S WEST WEDNESDAY NIGHT BUT ALL AREAS IN THE 60S TO AROUND 70 BY FRIDAY MORNING. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... SECOND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL INTO THE MID-SOUTH AND LOWER MS VALLEY BY FRIDAY EVENING. THIS WILL ALLOW THE FRONT TO GET PULLED BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT OVER THE WEEKEND, AND WE WILL LIKELY SEE RAIN CHANCES SLOWLY KICK BACK UP INCREMENTALLY OVER THE WEEKEND AS WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVE ALONG THE WAVY FRONT TO OUR SOUTHEAST. KEPT A LOW (SLIGHT CHC) POP FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY AS INITIAL WAVE PUSHES ACROSS...WITH HIGHER, MORE WIDESPREAD HIGH END CHC (40%) POP SATURDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS PUSHES ACROSS, WITH A SECOND PERIOD OF (MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN) 40-50% POP SUNDAY AND SUNDAY EVENING AS NEXT VORTMAX PUSHES ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN. HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO SET UP OFFSHORE, BRINGING A MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME SET UP AND WARMING TEMPS FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. AS FOR TEMPS, EXPECT MAXIMA TO AVERAGE AROUND -1 S.D. BELOW NORMAL EARLY IN THE PERIOD. HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S INLAND FRI-SUN, WITH SOME WARMING BACK TOWARDS CLIMO NORMAL MON/TUE. EARLY MORNING LOWS WILL SETTLE INTO THE 60S TO NEAR 70 ALONG THE COAST. && .AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... SCTD SHOWERS AND TSTMS DEVELOPING OVR THE CWA AS OF 2 PM IN THE HOT AND HUMID AIRMASS IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT. ACTIVITY WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD ACRS THE AREA INTO THIS EVENG...AND HAVE INCLUDED EITHER VCTS/VCSH INITIALLY IN ALL TAF SITES...THEN HAVE PREVAILING -SHRAS OR -RA FOR ALL SITES THIS EVENG INTO WED MORNG. EXPECT MAINLY VFR OR MVFR CONDITIONS...BUT STRONGER TSTMS OR HEAVIER SHOWERS COULD PRODUCE ISLTD IFR CONDITIONS. DID NOT INCLUDE THESE CONDITIONS IN TAF SITES SO FAR. PCPN WILL END FM WNW TO ESE LATE TNGT THRU WED...AS COLD FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES OFF THE CST. MAINLY VFR AND DRY WEATHER THEN EXPECTED WED AFTN THRU FRI. && .MARINE... SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS REMAINED BELOW SCA CRITERIA MONDAY EVENING AND EARLY THIS MORNING BUT WIND SENSORS IN THE MARINE AREA WERE GENERALLY 10 KNOTS OR HIGHER. WAVES AND SEAS WERE UNIMPRESSIVE INDICATING THAT THE STRONGER WINDS WERE NOT COMPLETELY MIXING TO THE SURFACE OF THE WATER. WAVES IN THE BAY WERE MAINLY AROUND A FOOT...PROBABLY UP TO 2 FEET IN THE CHANNELS. SEAS SUBSIDED TO AROUND 2 TO 3 FT. A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST AND THIS WILL KEEP THE WINDS FROM THE S/SW UNTIL ITS PASSAGE. WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST DURING EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING AND MAY INCREASE TO AROUND 15 KNOTS TOWARD 12-15Z WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR A FEW HOURS. WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A BRIEF SCA EPISODE OVER THE BAY WITH WATER TEMPERATURES OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE BAY CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES BUT THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS RATHER UNIMPRESSIVE. ONSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS LATE IN THE WEEK (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY) AND SEAS COULD APPROACH 5 FT IN THE OUTER PORTION OF THE 20NM ZONES BUT HELD IT TO 4 FT OR LESS AT THIS POINT. && .AKQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
