The radar
The Norfolk radar (KAKQ), 144 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 00:33 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Roanoke, VA (KRNK), launched 00:00Z, 0.5 hours before the alert went out and 79 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

.AVIATION...
APPEARS THAT HEAVIEST RAIN THREAT IS COMING TO AN END WITH MAIN
BATCH OF PRECIP MOVING THROUGH EASTERN AREAS BY 02Z OR SO.
HOWEVER...AS COLD FRONT CONTINUES ITS SLOW APPROACH FROM THE WEST
OVERNIGHT...STILL EXPECT OCCASIONAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS/PERHAPS A
THUNDERSTORM THROUGH ABOUT 12Z...AND PERHAPS A BIT BEYOND ACRS THE

MOISTURE HANGING AROUND AND MAYBE AN OCCASIONAL BREAK IN THE SKY
COVER...WITH POTENTIAL FOR MORE LOCALIZED DENSE FOG/LOWER CIGS IN
THE VALLEYS WHERE CONDS MAY APPROACH VLIFR FROM TIME TO TIME.
CONDS WILL IMPROVE QUICKLY TOMORROW MORNING AS FRONT MOVES THRU
THE REGION AND MUCH DRIER AIR POURS SOUTH INTO THE REGION. EXPECT
HIGHER CIRRUS MAY HANG TOUGH ACRS THE EAST WITH JUST SOME SCATTERED
CU DEVELOPMENT ELSEWHERE THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

(ISSUED 228 PM EDT WED JUL 5 2006)
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THIS AFTERNOON A SURFACE FRONT WAS POSITIONED ALONG THE OHIO RIVER
VALLEY. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WAS RIDING ALONG THIS FRONT ACROSS KY/TN.
THIS FEATURE WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE ALONG THE FRONT INTO THE FORECAST
AREA BY THIS EVENING...AND THE FRONT WILL THEN SUBSEQUENTLY PROGRESS
THROUGH THE AREA THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT...EXITING THE FAR
SOUTHEAST PART OF THE AREA THURSDAY MORNING.
THE CONCERN WILL BE TWO FOLD TONIGHT. FIRST A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH WILL BE IN EFFECT THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH 900
PM THIS EVENING FOR ALL OF THE NORTH CAROLINA COUNTIES IN OUR
JURISDICTION AND ALL BUT BATH COUNTY IN OUR VIRGINIA JURISDICTION.
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE MAINLY FOR DAMAGING WINDS WITH
LARGE HAIL A SECONDARY THREAT.
THE SECOND CONCERN THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WILL BE
FOR POTENTIALLY FLASH FLOOD CAUSING HEAVY RAIN ACCOMPANYING THE
EXPECTED SHOWERS AND STORMS OVERNIGHT. HAVE EXPANDED THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH TO INCLUDE A GREATER PORTION OF OUR AREA OF
RESPONSIBILITY...NAMELY A GREATER PORTION OF THE ROANOKE
VALLEY...ALL THE NEW RIVER VALLEY...AND THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE REGION
OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. AVERAGE RAINFALL TOTALS IN THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH AREA WILL AVERAGE 0.75 TO 1.25 INCHES...BUT LOCALLY HEAVIER
AMOUNTS IN THE 2 TO 3 INCH RANGE WILL BE POSSIBLE.
EXPECTING PRECIPITATION TO END WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THURSDAY
SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE...AND BY THE MID-AFTERNOON IN AREAS NEAR AND
EAST OF DANVILLE VA. PARTS OF THE GREENBRIER AND NEW RIVER VALLEYS
MAY SEE PATCHY RIVER VALLEY FOG FROM LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING...AS THE RAIN ENDS AND SKIES BEGIN TO SEE SOME
BREAKS.
LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT COOL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
AND THEN OVER THE AREA. THIS FEATURE SHOULD ALLOW FOR LIMITED CLOUD
COVER AND COOLER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. SOME PATCHY VALLEY FOG
WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE GREENBRIER AND NEW RIVER VALLEYS LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.
BY MONDAY...THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE HIGH WILL BE EAST OF THE
AREA...AND THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL ACROSS THE
REGION...AND HEIGHTS WILL BE GENERALLY ON THE RISE. THIS TRANSLATES
INTO GRADUAL WARMING TREND FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND ALSO BETTER
CHANCES AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS AS LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY INCREASE IN ADVANCE OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
MOVING INTO THE MIDWEST.
AVIATION...
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE COUNTY
WARNING AREA AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT CROSSING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
REGION. CONDITIONS WILL BE MVFR TO IFR DUE TO CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES...ESPECIALLY IN THUNDERSTORMS WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN.

IMPROVE QUICKLY TO VFR.
