The episode as NWS AKQ wrote it up.
Scattered thunderstorms along a frontal boundary produced heavy rain which caused flash flooding across portions of southeast Virginia.
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 2, 12:48 PM EST, 52 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WAKEFIELD VA 148 PM EDT TUE JUN 2 2015 .SYNOPSIS... LOW PRESSURE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION TODAY...THEN STALL ACROSS THE CAROLINA COAST TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. A SERIES OF WEAK LOWS WILL TRACK EAST ALONG THIS BOUNDARY THROUGH THURSDAY. THE BOUNDARY LINGERS ALONG THE COAST INTO FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... UPDATE... WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SE VA/COASTAL NE NC...THERE IS MUCH MORE CLOUD COVER PRESENT OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING AS A SFC COLD FRONT RESIDES OVER THE BLUE RIDGE MTS. THE FRONT WILL SLOWLY SAG SWD THROUGH TODAY DUE TO HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE ST LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY. MEANWHILE...AN UPPER CLOSED LOW REMAINS STUCK OVER THE TN VALLEY AND WILL PULL ADDITIONAL ATLANTIC AND GULF COAST MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. AS OF 945 AM...LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS ALONG AND WEST OF A LEE TROUGH AXIS ARE MOVING UP THE NC COASTAL PLAIN TWD FAR SWRN COUNTIES OF THE FA. HRRR MODEL PRECIP SHOWS ADVANCING PRECIP FROM THE NC COASTAL PLAIN DIMINISHING OVER SW COUNTIES THROUGH THE MORNING. HOWEVER... CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL REFIRE BY THIS AFTN/DURING PEAK HEATING AS THE FRONT SLIDES CLOSER TO THE COAST AND VA/NC BORDER...PROVIDING A FOCUS AND LIFTING MECHANISM FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IN AN OTHERWISE WEAKLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT (20-25KT 0-6KM BULK SHEAR). THE COMBINATION OF HIGH PWATS OF 1.50-1.75 INCHES AND ATMOSPHERIC SOUNDING PROFILES BECOMING MORE SATURATED BY THIS EVENING WILL RESULT IN HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS AREAS AFFECTED BY STORMS TODAY. LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS MAY CAUSE PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS...ESPECIALLY IN LOW LYING AREAS OR AREAS WITH POOR DRAINAGE. IN ADDITION... TRAINING OF STORMS COULD EXACERBATE LOCALIZED FLOODING POTENTIAL. BASED ON 12-24 HOUR PRECIP TOTALS VS RADAR ESTIMATED TOTALS...THE MAX AMOUNT OF PRECIP RECEIVED DURING YESTERDAYS STORMS WAS NO HIGHER THAN 2.25 INCHES. KEEPING THIS IN MIND AND KNOWING THAT THE MAIN FOCUS FOR STRONGER STORMS IS ACROSS SE VA/NE NC THIS AFTN... DO NOT ANTICIPATE THE NEED FOR A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WHEN 1HR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IN THESE AREAS NEEDS TO EXCEED 3.00 INCHES TO CAUSE WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS. WILL NEED TO WATCH TSTORM COVERAGE AND TRENDS AS THE AFTN/EVENING UNFOLDS TO DETERMINE IF URBAN/SMALL STREAM FLOOD HEADLINES WILL BE NECESSARY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE VA BEACH/NORFOLK/PORTSMOUTH AREAS. THE POTENTIAL ALSO EXISTS FOR WET MICROBURST WIND GUSTS AND SMALL HAIL UNDER STRONGER STORM CORES. ALSO MADE A QUICK ADJUSTMENT TO HIGH TEMPS TO BUMP MOST AREAS UP SEVERAL DEGREES WITH LACK OF RAINFALL DESPITE INCREASING CLOUDS...AND CONVERSELY COOLED ERN PIEDMONT LOCATIONS BY A FEW DEGREES. THE EXCEPTION IS ACRS THE FAR NE...WHERE ONSHORE E/NE FLOW WILL KEEP TEMPS IN THE 60S ON THE MD ERN SHORE. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
