A persistent upper low over the Tennessee Valley helped to maintain strong easterly winds into the region, along with bouts of moderate to heavy rainfall totaling one to three inches over the western Piedmont region of Virginia and also in parts of Montgomery and Botetourt Counties. These totals occurred soon after very heavy rain concluded the month of September across a similar location.

The episode as NWS RNK wrote it up.
A persistent upper low over the Tennessee Valley helped to maintain strong easterly winds into the region, along with bouts of moderate to heavy rainfall totaling one to three inches over the western Piedmont region of Virginia and also in parts of Montgomery and Botetourt Counties. These totals occurred soon after very heavy rain concluded the month of September across a similar location. With a saturated soil, wind gusts of only 30 to 40 mph were enough to bring a large number of trees down across parts this region.

NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 30, 8:29 PM EST, 3 hours 31 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 929 PM EDT WED SEP 30 2015 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE WEDGING DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD WILL COMBINE WITH DEEPENING TROPICAL MOISTURE ALONG A DEVELOPING COASTAL TROUGH TO BRING INCREASING CHANCES FOR SIGNIFICANT HEAVY RAINFALL INTO THE WEEKEND. OUR FORECAST WILL ALSO BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT TRACK HURRICANE JOAQUIN TAKES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 910 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... DEEPER MOISTURE MAKING A QUICK RETURN TO THE REGION THIS EVENING IN ADVANCE OF THE DEVELOPING UPPER LOW TO THE NW AND A WEAK SURFACE REFLECTION ALONG THE RESIDUAL FRONT TO THE SOUTH. THIS ALONG A LOW LEVEL THETA-E/INSTABILITY GRADIENT ACROSS THE SOUTH WHERE SW FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES TO PULL MOISTURE NE AND LIKELY TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT PER LATEST HRRR. GIVEN LATEST PWATS OF NEARLY 1.5 INCHES APPEARS ANY ELEVATED CONVECTION ENOUGH TO WARRANT HIGH POPS...AND POTENTIAL FLOODING WHERE ANY SHOWERS TRAIN ACROSS ESPCLY WHERE FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE REMAINS VERY LOW. THUS BUMPED UP POPS TO OVERALL LIKELYS FROM SW TO NE OVERNIGHT AND INCREASED QPF ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MORNING. HOWEVER A BIT TRICKY IN JUST HOW FAR THUNDER WILL MAKE IT GIVEN THE DEVELOPING WEDGE SO LEAVING OUT EXCEPT ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH/SW. LOWS MOSTLY IN THE 50S EXCEPT SOUTHEAST WHERE BUMPING INTO THE 60S PER HIGHER DEWPOINTS AND LATEST WARMER LAV MOS. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION AS OF 400 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... GOES RAPID SCAN VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...AND THE RADAR IS GENERALLY QUIET WITH SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS ENTERING THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE REGION. UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE ENERGY WILL COMBINE WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT AND A DEVELOPING WEAK WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD TO BRING INCREASING CHANCES FOR RAIN TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. MESO MODELS ARE MIXED IN THEIR HANDLING OF THE PRECIPITATION BUT BELIEVE THERE WILL BE ENOUGH ACTIVITY TONIGHT TO WARRANT HIGH CHANCE POPS NORTH AND WEST WITH LIKELY POPS ELSEWHERE. DO NOT EXPECT ENOUGH WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TO RENEW FLOODING PROBLEMS SO NO FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE NEAR TERM PERIOD. AS THE COASTAL TROF BEGINS TO ORGANIZE INTO A PRE EVENT /PREDECESSOR RAINFALL EVENT/ LATER ON THURSDAY WE WILL START TO SEE THE CHANCE OF RAIN INCREASING FROM THE EAST AS IT PUSHES TOWARD THE REGION BUT ANY SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS FROM PRECIPITATION WILL NOT BE FELT UNTIL AFTER THE NEAR TERM PERIOD. TEMPERATURES WILL START COOLING TONIGHT AND WILL NOT RECOVER MUCH AT ALL FOR TOMORROW AS THE NORTHEASTERLY FLOW STARTS TO INCREASE. GENERALLY EXPECT LOWS TONIGHT TO REACH THE UPPER 50S/LOWER 60S WITH HIGHS ON THURSDAY IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. THE COMBINATION OF COOL AND MOIST CONDITIONS WITH INCREASING NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL PUT A DAMP CHILL IN THE AIR. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 400 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE IN THE LOW LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL MAINTAIN A COOL NORTHEASTERLY SURFACE WIND ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC. AT THE SAME TIME...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DRIFT SOUTHWARD FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TO STALL NEAR THE GULF COAST. WINDFLOW AROUND THIS LOW WILL DRAW DEEP MOISTURE NORTHWARD ALONG THE APPALACHIAN CHAIN...WHERE IT WILL FLOW OVER THE NORTHEASTERLY WINDFLOW NEAR THE SURFACE. MINOR DISTURBANCES RIDING UP THE APPALACHIAN CHAIN WILL TRIGGER SPOTTY AREAS OF LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE RAIN THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. ALL WEATHER MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT...AND CONFIDENCE HAS BECOME HIGH...THAT HEAVY RAIN WILL RETURN TO OUR AREA FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE UPPER LOW BECOMES NEGATIVELY TILTED...ALLOWING A BOUNDARY OF STRONG CONVERGENCE TO DRIFT INLAND FROM THE COAST ACROSS OUR AREA. WINDS JUST OFF THE SURFACE WILL BEGIN TO RAMP UP TO 45 TO 50 MPH FROM THE COAST...WHICH WILL DRAW DEEP MOISTURE RAPIDLY INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN. THIS WEATHER PATTERN IS SETTING OUR AREA UP FOR A PREDECESSOR RAINFALL EVENT...WHICH IS A WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF DROPPING 3 TO LOCALLY 5 INCHES OF RAIN ACROSS THE PIEDMONT...WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OF UP TO 6 INCHES ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE...AND 2 TO LOCALLY 4 INCHES ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. TRAINING OF HEAVY RAIN CELLS IS LIKELY...MEANING THAT SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN MAY ACCUMULATE OVER AN AREA OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. FACTOR IN THAT THE GROUND OVER MUCH OF OUR AREA IS ALREADY SATURATED FROM RECENT HEAVY RAINS...IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE NEW RAINFALL WILL TRANSLATE TO RUNOFF VERY QUICKLY...LEADING TO THE POSSIBILITY OF FLASH FLOODING. WE STILL HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT ANOTHER ROUND OF WEATHER MODELS TO SEE HOW THIS WEATHER SYSTEM EVOLVES...BUT FULLY EXPECT THAT A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR OUR AREA WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BRING WITH IT A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE POSSIBILITY OF ROCKSLIDES/LANDSLIDES. OUTSIDE OF ANY FLASH FLOODING THAT OCCURS...MUCH OF THIS WATER WILL COLLECT IN RIVERS AND STREAMS THAT ARE ALREADY SWOLLEN FROM RECENT RAINFALL. AS SUCH...RENEWED RIVER FLOODING IS LIKELY ON SATURDAY... ALTHOUGH THE SEVERITY OF WHICH IS STILL TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE UNTIL IT BECOMES KNOWN WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL SET UP. REGARDLESS...RIVER FLOODING WILL REMAIN A MAJOR CONCERN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. FOR SATURDAY EVENING INTO SUNDAY...GREAT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS AS TO THE TRACK HURRICANE JOAQUIN WILL FOLLOW. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER INDICATES THAT THERE IS A CHANCE THAT JOAQUIN WILL MOVE ONSHORE INTO NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA... POTENTIALLY KEEPING HEAVY RAINFALL PROLONGED ACROSS OUR AREA. HOW JOAQUIN INTERACTS WITH THE UPPER LOW NEAR THE GULF COAST REMAINS UNCERTAIN...WITH SOME WEATHER MODELS BRINGING THE STORM OVER NORTH CAROLINA...WHILE OTHERS KEEP THE STORM OVER OPEN OCEAN. THIS SITUATION REMAIN EXTREMELY FLUID...MEANING THAT FUTURE FORECASTS FOR THE TRACK OF HURRICANE JOAQUIN WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED TO DETERMINE EXACTLY HOW THE STORM WILL AFFECT OUR AREA. NEEDLESS TO SAY HOWEVER...IF JOAQUIN DOES MAKE LANDFALL IN NORTH CAROLINA... FORECAST RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR OUR AREA WILL NEED TO BE INCREASED BY SEVERAL INCHES. IN ADDITION...JOAQUIN WILL BRING STRONG WIND GUSTS...WHICH MAKES THE PROBABILITY OF WIND DAMAGE...SUCH AS DOWNED TREES AND POWER OUTAGES...FAR MORE SIGNIFICANT. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 400 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...WEATHER FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK DEPENDS GREATLY ON WHERE THE REMNANTS OF JOAQUIN WILL BE LOCATED. SOME MODELS HAVE THE REMNANTS OF JOAQUIN TO MOVING ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES...SUPPORTING BANDS OF HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS...WHILE OTHERS HAVE NO SUCH IMPACTS AS THE STORM REMAINS OFFSHORE. BY TUESDAY...DRIER AIR WILL FINALLY BE RETURNING TO THE AREA AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. MAY SEE A FEW UPSLOPE RAIN SHOWERS LINGER ALONG THE WESTERN RIDGES HOWEVER. && .AVIATION /01Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AS OF 645 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... VFR ALONG WITH OCNL MVFR CIGS WILL PREVAIL INTO THE EVENING WITH SPOTTY SHOWERS POSSIBLE...MAINLY SOUTHWEST OF A KBLF-KBCB-KDAN LINE. HOWEVER...FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL BE DETERIORATING LATER THIS EVENING AND EXPECT MVFR/IFR TO SET IN AT ALL TAF SITES AFTER MIDNIGHT AS DEEPER MOISTURE CONTINUES TO SLIDE NORTHEAST AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. THIS ALONG WITH A DEVELOPING WEDGE SHOULD ACT TO HOLD MOSTLY MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS IN PLACE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT WITH PERIODS OF MVFR VSBY IN RAIN/FOG. EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION... MODELS SUGGEST POOR FLYING CONDITIONS MAY LINGER ACROSS A LARGE GEOGRAPHIC AREA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEK AND POTENTIALLY INTO THE WEEKEND. WIDESPREAD SUB VFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH LOW CIGS AND HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE. && .HYDROLOGY... AS OF 450 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... THE DAN RIVER FROM DANVILLE THROUGH SOUTH BOSTON WILL REMAIN IN FLOOD FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ALSO MINOR FLOODING WILL OCCUR ALONG THE LOWER ROANOKE RIVER AT RANDOLPH INTO THURSDAY. FOR SPECIFIC RIVER INFORMATION...VISIT OUR HYDROLOGIC SERVICE PAGE AT HTTP:/WATER.WEATHER.GOV/AHPS2/INDEX.PHP?WFO=RNK AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DRIFT FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES DURING THE END OF THE WEEK...BRINGING ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAIN. RENEWED OR ADDITIONAL FLOODING WOULD RESULT FROM THIS RAINFALL. IN ADDITION THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR DEEPER TROPICAL MOISTURE TO GET ENTRAINED ACROSS THE REGION BY THE WEEKEND PERHAPS ADDING TO THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING. GIVEN CURRENT SATURATED CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION AND VERY LOW FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE THE POSSIBILITY OF WIDESPREAD RIVER FLOODING COULD OCCUR IF FORECAST RAINFALL MATERIALIZES AS WELL. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
