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 Sep 19, 1:30 PM EST, 45 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wakefield VA 230 PM EDT MON SEP 19 2016 .SYNOPSIS... A weak cold front over western West Virginia this morning will reach the area east of the mountains tonight and near the coast on Tuesday. Low pressure will continue over the Carolinas. High pressure slowly builds into the region mid to late week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... A cold front over western West Virginia was rather diffuse. A moisture convergence axis along the Piedmont to the northern portion of the Delmarva Peninsula was producing heavy rainfall with most amounts over one inch with local two to four inch amounts. Models support increasing rainfall across southern Virginia... northeast North Carolina and southern portions of the Delmarva this afternoon and evening. Expect one to two inch rainfall in these areas with locally heavier amounts possible through this evening. Scattered thunderstorms will occur this area this afternoon and early evening but severe thunderstorms are not indicated. High temperatures range from the upper 70s northern portions of the CWA to the mid 80s in the southeast. Showers diminish most areas tonight but continue into the overnight hours toward the southeast coast. Low temperatures will be much above normal ranging from the upper 60s northern Piedmont Counties to the mid 70s in the southeast. Previous Discussion A cold front was situated invof mountains attm... while sfc hi pres has moved farther off the coast. Additionally...weak...remnant lo pres was found off the coastal Carolinas. Challenging ra forecast begins today as moisture continues to increase from the S and W. Weakening cold front settles into the local by this afternoon aiding/becoming focus for developing rainfall. Models differ in QPF and timing of pcpn. Right now...rather large area of shras/isolated tstms tracking NNE along/just W of the I 95 corridor in VA...isolated shras moving N invof coastal plain in ern NC. Moisture inflow will continue through the day...models slow down front this afternoon as it reaches the coast...while remnant lo pres continues to pull NNE (from the S). Axis of PWat aoa 2" shifts to near the coast by this afternoon. Will have vrb clouds E...mostly cloudy central and W today...warm and humid. SCT-likely shras-isolated-SCT tstms. Potential for locally heavy rainfall and will keep that mention in HWO. Difficult to pinpoint where heaviest ra will occur...will have QPF averaging 0.75-1"...less at the immediate coast and far WNW. Highs in the u70s-l80s...except m80s SE VA/NE NC. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Will hang onto to SCT-likely PoPs through Tue then slowly lower the PoPs into Wed from NW to SE. Frontal boundary lingers near the coast under upper level trough that will remain situated from the Mid Atlantic to SE conus coast. Sfc hi pres will be slow to build into the region from the NW beginning late Tue night...continuing Wed. 00Z/19 GFS a bit more optimistic w/ lowering cloudiness/PoPs across much of the FA by Wed. Highs Tue mainly in the l80s. Lows Tue night in the m-u60s inland to around 70F at the coast. Highs Wed in the u70s SE to l80s elsewhere. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... A moist easterly flow between low pressure near the Southeast coast and weak high pressure to the north may continue the chances for precipitation...mainly over southern portions of our CWA into Thursday. Mainly dry weather is indicated over northern portions through Friday. A cold front passes through the Mid Atlantic States from the north next weekend bringing a chance for scattered thunderstorms. Temperatures are forecast to be above normal with highs in the low to mid 80s Wednesday through Friday...warming to the mid to upr 80s Saturday and cooling to around 80 on Sunday. Readings will be a few degrees cooler over portions of the Lower Eastern Shore and along the coastline. Low temperatures are expected to be in the 60s through the period. && .AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Diffuse cold front approaches from the west and moves to the coast by Tuesday morning. Band of heavy rain that was over the Piedmont was shifting to the coast. Generally VFR/MVFR with brief periods of IFR in heavy pcpn and scattered thunderstorms...mainly toward the coast. Rain tapers off western portions this evening and overnight. IFR stratus indicated for RIC after 00z and with IFR stratus and visibilities increasing across the CWA after Midnight/04Z. Showers increase once again mainly southern portions during the day Tuesday. OUTLOOK...Forecast for the next several days has low level confidence as upper level low and associated weak surface low stalls over the Carolinas. Periods of showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible at least through Thursday with some IFR possible. High pressure builds into the region from the north. && .MARINE... A weak frontal boundary approaches the waters late today then stalls out over the area through Tuesday. The remnants of Julia will move northward today, pushing inland across southeast NC late this afternoon. Expecting SSE winds 10 kt or less this morning to become ESE this afternoon and then east at similar speeds tonight. ENE winds up to 10-15 kt expecting Tue/Tue night. Seas 2-4 ft over the coastal waters and 1-2 ft waves on the Bay. Next chance of sca conditions would be late Wed/Thu as seas approach 5 ft across the southern coastal waters and 4 ft at the mouth of the Bay. This of course will be dependent on the exact track of Julia's remnants and the associated easterly flow north of it. && .AKQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...None. NC...None. VA...None.
