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 Jan 10, 12:29 AM EST, 2 hours 1 minute earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Blacksburg VA 1229 AM EST Wed Jan 10 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Rain threat is ending this evening with a passing of a cold front. Breezy northwest winds are likely behind the front. High pressure will allow the area to dry out Wednesday and Thursday, then another system will bring rain and strong winds into the area Friday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... As of 935 PM EST Tuesday... Cancelled Flood Watch. As of 645 PM EST Tuesday... Heavy rain is exiting the piedmont this evening, however runoff still an issue this evening. We will keep the Flood Watch in effect for a few more hours while Areal Flood Warnings likely to continue most of tonight. River Flood Warnings/Statements may continue into Thursday. An upper level low will track over the Ohio Valley tonight. Light rain bands will move across the area this evening, changing to upslope snow showers late tonight. Western Greenbrier will see 1-3 inches of snow and areas south to Bluefield may see half of an inch into the day Wednesday. Pressure rises behind a cold front will bring breezy conditions along and west of the Blue Ridge tonight into Wednesday morning. Wind gusts up to 50 mph are possible in the NW NC mountains and Grayson Highlands. High pressure will build over the area in the afternoon, allowing the winds to subside. Temperatures tonight will drop into the 30s. With cold air enter the area Wednesday, the mountains will likely stay in the 30s, while downslope flow helps temperatures warm into the 40s east of the Blue Ridge. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... As of 245 AM EST Tuesday... Key Messages: 1) Confidence is high for gusty west winds and mountain snow showers on Wednesday. 2) After a dry Thursday, another low pressure system may bring more rain and gusty southeast winds on Friday. The wind will increase from the west on Wednesday as a low pressure system exits offshore. However, the wind is depicted as just a tad more southwest than true west in the models, which may limit the maximum wind gusts and the upslope component to producing mountain snow showers. Nevertheless, gusts could reach up to 40 MPH along the higher elevations, and snow showers should fly from Boone to Lewisburg. Only western Greenbrier County has the potential for around an inch of snow, while most of the mountains may just see flurries. The wind and the snow showers should fade by Wednesday night as high pressure builds to the south. Thursday appears quiet and will be a needed reprieve from all the active weather lately. Clouds should increase on Thursday night as the atmosphere prepares to deliver another low pressure system for the Mid Atlantic that should arrive by Friday morning. The models have slowed down the timing with this system a little compared to previous solutions. Any hint of a wintry mix of precipitation is extremely limited to just the first couple hours in the mountains with milder air pushing anything over to liquid by midday. Bands of heavy rain and a gusty southeast wind are the main threats from this system. With antecedent conditions becoming increasingly wet lately, there is yet another risk of flooding for Friday and Friday night. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 245 AM EST Tuesday... Key Messages: 1) Confidence is moderate for gusty west winds and mountain snow showers on Saturday. 2) Another low pressure system could bring a chance of wintry precipitation by Monday, but confidence is low on any details. It may sound like an almost exact repeat of the short term section, but this part of the forecast will start with a low pressure system exiting offshore that will produce a gusty west wind and mountain snow showers from Boone to Lewisburg on Saturday. The only difference is that the winds aloft could be stronger, but it is too early to tell how much that will mix down to observed gusts at the ground. Weak high pressure should allow the wind and snow showers to dissipate by Saturday night, and Sunday appears to stay dry. Of course, this section has to complete the repetition cycle by closing out with yet another low pressure system lurking for Sunday night into Monday. However, it may be cold enough to introduce a better chance of wintry precipitation, but the details are very murky with model solutions varying notably on track and timing. && .AVIATION /05Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 1220 AM EST Wednesday... An upper level low has moved over the Ohio Valley this evening. Light rain showers around this low will become snow showers across the mountains overnight, eventually shrinking to the western slopes by sunrise. MVFR ceilings over most of the mountains to IFR along western slopes expected through Wednesday morning. Visibilities may drop to MVFR along western slopes, however, model guidance keeping VFR for all mountain TAF sites through the period. Added a tempo group from 09Z-12Z for low confidence MVFR visibilities at KBLF/KLWB. Pressure rises behind a passing cold front will bring breezy conditions across the area overnight into Wednesday morning. Wind gusts up to 40 kts are possible along the Blue Ridge. High pressure will build over the area in the afternoon, allowing the winds to subside. OUTLOOK... Widespread VFR returns for Thursday associated with High pressure and light winds. More rain tracks in Friday with sub-VFR likely...another storm system that will take a similar track compared to Tuesday. Mountains snow showers and breezy conditions are possible over the weekend. && .HYDROLOGY... As of 700 PM EST Tuesday... A Flood Watch continues for most of the area. Heavy rain is exiting the piedmont this evening, however runoff still an issue this evening. We will keep the Flood Watch in effect for a few more hours while Areal Flood Warnings likely to continue most of tonight. River Flood Warnings/Statements may continue into Thursday. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...Wind Advisory until 1 PM EST this afternoon for VAZ015.
