The episode as NWS RNK wrote it up.
Peak daytime heating mixed with an unstable uninhibited atmosphere which lead to the development of showers and storms across the Piedmont area of Virginia. One cluster of storms increased to severe levels and produced damaging winds and hail up to the size of half dollars.
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 Jun 21, 2:32 PM EST, 2 hours 1 minute earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 332 PM EDT SAT JUN 21 2014 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEDGE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT AS A SURFACE LOW DRIFTS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CAROLINAS. SUMMER TIME THUNDERSTORMS RETURN MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS A COLD FRONT TRACKS EAST FROM THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 330 PM EDT SATURDAY... A SURFACE REFLECTION/LEE TROUGH OVER THE CAROLINAS WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR STRONGER STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THIS FEATURE IS SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...THERE REMAINS MODERATE CAPE VALUES AROUND 2000 J/KG ARE ACROSS THE PIEDMONT THIS AFTERNOON. MIXING HAS BEEN STRONG ENOUGH TO LIMIT STORMS FROM BECOMING TO STRONG SO FAR. THE FIRST LIGHTNING STRIKE DETECTED DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL 230P THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECTING MIXING TO DECREASE THIS EVENING WHICH SHOULD ALLOW STORMS OVER THE PIEDMONT TO STRENGTHEN. THE DURATION OF THESE STRONG STORMS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO A FEW HOURS THIS EVENING...THEN THEY WILL EXIT THE FORECAST AREA HEADING SE WITH THE LEE TROUGH. MODELS SHOWING A WEDGE COMING ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA TONIGHT. MOST MODELS ARE KEEPING AN EASTERLY WIND AND LOW CLOUDS INTO MONDAY MORNING. THICK LOW CLOUDS ARE A SURE THING TONIGHT...BUT A LITTLE LEARY ON THE CHANCES FOR MEASURABLE RAINFALL. THIS WEDGE AND CLOUDS SHOULD WITH STAND SUMMER SUN WHILE A FEW BREAKS ARE POSSIBLE LATE IN THE DAY...ONLY TO FILL BACK IN SUNDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL FEEL A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE TONIGHT WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER DEW POINTS. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE 60S. EASTERLY FLOW AND CLOUDS WILL KEEP SUNDAY/S TEMPERATURES FROM REACHING NORMAL LEVELS. HIGHS TOMORROW WILL BE IN THE U70S- M80S. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 255 PM EDT SATURDAY... GOING TO SEE HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE SOUTHWEST INTO THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER...THE AIRMASS IN TERMS OF MOISTURE DOES NOT CHANGE TOO MUCH AS IT WILL REMAIN MUGGY WITH LOW LVL CLOUDINESS. CONVERGENCE WILL SET UP ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE WITH SHOWERS EXPECTED THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT IN AN ISOLATED/WIDELY SCATTERED FASHION. MONDAY....THE HIGH WILL START TO EDGE EWD AS UPSTREAM TROUGH PUSHES INTO THE UPPER MS VALLEY. STILL LOOKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE 585DM AND TYPICAL SUMMER WEATHER. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LIE SOUTHWEST OF US MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH AMOEBIC FLOW. ANYTHING THAT FORMS ACROSS THE AREA WILL BE SLOW MOVING AND HEAVY RAINERS. RIGHT NOW THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE IN THE CHANCE RANGE ...HIGHEST ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE. THE HEIGHTS CONTINUE TO BUILD IN THE UPPER LEVELS SHOULD SEND THE WARM FRONT NORTH OF US MONDAY EVENING. CONTINUED MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG WITH FRONTAL CONVERGENCE WILL KEEP THE SHRA/TSRA CHANCE GOING THRU THE NIGHT. TUESDAY...ONE PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY GETS INTO OHIO/KY/TN BY THE END OF THE DAY. WITH SW FLOW ALOFT AND HEATING THINK SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES WILL BE HIGHER IN THE MTNS...WITH LESS UNDER THE 5H RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST. KEPT POPS FROM 40-50 WEST TO 30 EAST. CONVECTION WANES SOME OVERNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE EAST BUT SHORTWAVE ENERGY DESPITE WEAKENING AS IT ENCOUNTERS THE SOUTHEAST RIDGE SHOULD BRING ENOUGH LIFT TO KEEP 30-50 POPS FROM THE NC MTNS NORTH TO THE ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS AND WEST. TEMPS WILL BE CLOSE TO NORMAL MONDAY WITH HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S MOUNTAINS...TO MID TO UPPER 80S OUT EAST. TEMPS WARM A FEW DEGREES TUESDAY MAINLY IN THE EAST AS THINK CONVECTION WILL BE A LITTLE MORE COMMONPLACE WEST. LOOK FOR HIGHS AGAIN IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S OVER MOST OF THE MOUNTAINS...TO NEAR 90 OVER SOUTHSIDE VA INTO THE NC PIEDMONT. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 140 PM EDT SATURDAY... I WOULD NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH CHANGE THIS FORECAST PERIOD. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SITUATE ITSELF NEAR THE AREA WED-THU THEN LIFT BACK NORTH INTO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS HEIGHTS BUILD YET AGAIN. OVERALL...THERE WILL BE A DAILY THREAT OF STORMS...BUT MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVENING. AT THE MOMENT BEST THREAT OF STORMS WILL BE WEDNESDAY WITH SHORTWAVE PIECE MOVING ACROSS DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. EXPECT THE MODELS THIS FAR OUT TO STILL HAVE TIMING ISSUES WITH WAVES ALONG THE SRN EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES. NOT GOING TO SEE TOO MUCH CHANGE IN AIRMASS AS DRIER DEWPOINTS STAY WELL NORTH OF THE MID ATLANTIC. && .AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 130 PM EDT SATURDAY... WAVY WARM FRONT EXTENDED FROM THE MARYLAND PANHANDLE TO NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA. ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS WERE OVER THE MOUNTAINS ALONG WITH MOSTLY VFR CEILINGS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. THESE MOUNTAIN SHOWERS WILL MOVE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND INTO HIGHER INSTABILITIES TO GENERATE SCATTERED CONVECTION. A WEAK SURFACE REFLECTION/TROUGH OVER THE CAROLINAS MAY HAVE A FEW OF THESE STORMS BECOMING STRONG TO SEVERE FROM KDAN SOUTH INTO EARLY EVENING. ONCE CONVECTION DRIFTS SOUTH...A WEAK WEDGE AND NE FLOW WILL BRING IN LOW CLOUDS AND/OR LIGHT RAIN TO AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. THIS WEDGE MAY HANG IN THE AREA UNTIL MONDAY WITH SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN CEILING HEIGHTS DURING THE DAY ONLY TO LOWER AGAIN OVERNIGHT. EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION... DEEPER MOISTURE RETURNS NORTH...WITH BETTER COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS ON MONDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER UPPER TROF AND FRONT TO THE WEST. THIS BOUNDARY WILL GET CLOSER TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH AT LEAST DIURNAL DAILY ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS LIKELY TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY INCLUDING PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR. AREAS OF IFR FOG REMAIN POSSIBLE EACH LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING... PARTICULARLY IN AREAS THAT SEE RAIN THE PREVIOUS AFTERNOON. THE MOST OPTIMAL FLIGHT CONDITIONS EACH DAY SHOULD BE IN THE MID TO LATE MORNING AFTER FOG/LOW CLOUDS LIFT AND BURN OFF...AND BEFORE AFTERNOON CONVECTION REDEVELOPS. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
