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 Baltimore/Washington wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 5, 12:55 PM EST, 1 hour 4 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
155 PM EDT SUN JUN 5 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will cross the region from the west this afternoon
and evening. An upper level trough will build overhead Monday
through Wednesday before surface high pressure builds into the
region for the latter half of this week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
We are currently watching the line of showers coming into western
MD. These a free of lightning at the moment but are starting to
gain some vertical development. A watch is certainly possible now
that breaks have finally developed in the low cloud which has been
hanging over the area all morning.
As written in earlier discussion parameters are in place for
severe development. Dulles VWP has a good wind field with SW winds
of 30-50 knots aloft.
HRRR still shows strongest activitity with the line would be in
the I-95 corridor around 21Z.
A flash flood watch remains in effect for the central Shenandoah
Valley of VA based partly on the fact that Albemarle/Nelson
received up to 7" of rain last night...and we are still receiving
reports of flooding in these counties as well as in Rockingham.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Monday will be a big improvement over Sunday, with dewpoints about
10 degrees lower (near 60) and a decent amount of sunshine.
However, the 500 mb trough is nearby, and its axis approaching.
Therefore, can't rule out a late day shower, especially over the
mountains.
The cold front will impact humidity more that temperatures. Highs
Monday (and lows Monday night) will be similar to Sunday. A blend
was taken.
Tuesday night looking refreshingly cool with lows in the upper 50s
to lower 60s.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The combination of the tropical cyclone out over the open Atlantic
and low pressure over eastern Canada will draw cooler air, and high
pressure down over the Mid Atlantic for Wednesday and Thursday. By
late week, a ridge of high pressure begins to push up our way from
the southern states. At the same time, a weak stationary boundary
between the southern high, and high pressure to our north, is
expected over the region over the weekend.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR this afternoon outside of thunderstorms. The prime time for
thunderstorms activity today is 20 to 23Z.
VFR generally will prevail on Monday and beyond. Showers and
thunderstorms may affect terminals Tuesday or Wednesday...but
effects should be short-lived.
&&
An SCA posted by mid afternoon through much of the evening.
Thunrderstorms/SMW's will be a concern in the late afternoon.
SW winds continue through Monday night...mainly 10-15 kt.
Will need to watch northwest flow thru midweek with fronts passing
through for possible periods of SCA conditions...but certainty is
pretty low at this point.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Although a cold front will cross the waters tonight, don't foreseewinds
shifting sufficiently for a big water evacuation. Therefore, we
will likely repeat this process late tonight into early Monday.
&&
