What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
May 14, 1:40 PM EDT	HAIL 0.75	Danbury, NC

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm 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.

NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 14, 12:44 PM EDT, 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 14, 12:44 PM EDT, 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1244 PM EDT SUN MAY 14 2006

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...

UPDATING THE ZONES FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 350 UNTIL 800 PM
EDT. BUMPED UP POPS IN THE EAST AS WELL.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
 (ISSUED 1007 AM EDT SUN MAY 14 2006)

SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...

KFCX 88D HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATIONS.

LOOKS LIKE A RATHER BUSY AFTERNOON IN STORE AS LARGE UPPER LOW
PUSHES SECONDARY FRONTAL ZONE AND ASSOCIATED TRIPLE POINT WAVE
INTO THE AREA. INIT S/W OVER SW VA CAUSING BAND OF EASTERN
CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE TO ROTATE EAST ALLOWING A BRIEF BREAK
LATE THIS MORNING BEFORE COVERAGE INCREASES AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY.
CURRENT CLEARING IN WAKE OF FIRST CONVECTION WILL ONLY LEAD TO
ENHANCED INSTABILITY/LAPSE RATES AS UNCAPPED MODIFIED RAOBS SHOW 1-2K
CAPES ESPCLY SOUTH/EAST WHERE INTERACTION WITH DEEPER RH SHOULD BE
BEST. THIS ALSO DEPICTED BY LATEST RUC/NAM WHICH INDICATE GOOD
DIFFLUENCE EASTERN HALF JUST NORTH OF THE JET CORE. LOW WET
BULBS/FREEZING LEVELS SUPPORT HAIL PRODUCERS WITH ABOUT ANY
ORGANIZED CORE GIVEN COLD 5H TEMPS...SO MAY INCLUDE MENTION IN
ZFP. OTRW WILL LIKELY STAY CLOSE TO GOING POPS GIVEN DYNAMICS WITH
HIEST CAT VALUES ACROSS THE NORTH/EAST WHERE BEST COVERAGE SHOULD
END UP LATER ON. BRIEF PERIOD OF HEATING MAY ALSO ACT TO PUSH
HIGHS WARMER THAN EXPECTED MOUNTAINS AND CLOSER TO WARMER MET MOS
IN SPOTS.

PREV DISCUSSION...
 (ISSUED 644 AM EDT SUN MAY 14 2006)

AVIATION...

ONE BAND OF WEAKENING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MOVING
THROUGH THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING...THEN THERE WILL BE A BREAK
BEFORE ANOTHER ORGANIZED AREA OF STORMS MOVES IN AHEAD OF A FRONT
LATE THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON. I HAVE INCLUDED A PERIOD OF
HEAVIER SHOWERS WITH CB IN THE CLOUD GROUP FOR BLF...LWB AND ROA.
FOR LYH AND DAN THE CHANCES OF THUNDERSTROMS IS HIGH ENOUGH THERE
THAT I INCLUDED A 3 HOUR PERIOD WITH THUNDER. ANY OF THE STORMS
TODAY WILL HAVE A POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL SINCE THE FREEZING
LEVEL WILL BE QUITE LOW. THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BRING MVFR
CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON TO ALL AIRPORTS...POSSIBLY SOME BRIEF
PERIODS OF IFR IF HEAVIER STORMS PASS OVER THE AIRPORTS. LOOKS
LIKE THE SHOWERS WILL END EARLY IN THE EVENING AND IF WE HAVE
QUICK CLEARING...WILL BE A GOOD SETUP FOR FOG TO DEVELOP. I HAVE
PUT FOG IN ALL OF THE TAFS...AND INCLUDED A PERIOD OF DENSE LIFR
FOG AT LWB...LYH AND DAN TOWARD MORNING.

PREV DISCUSSION...
 (ISSUED 343 AM EDT SUN MAY 14 2006)

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...

CLOSED UPPER LOW IS OVER ILLINOIS EARLY THIS MORNING AND BEGINNING
TO SHIFT SOUTHWARD AS STRONG JET ENERGY ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE
TROUGH. THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF THIS JET EXTENDS INTO THE SOUTHERN
APPLN MTNS AT THIS TIME...AND MODELS SHOW IT SHIFTING NORTH AND
EAST TODAY AS THE JET CORE GETS MORE OF A CONCAVE BEND AS IT
ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. THAT PUTS MUCH OF THE EASTERN PART
OF THE FORECAST AREA IN THE FAVORED LEFT EXIT REGION- SO LOOKS
LIKE THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF UPPER DYNAMICS AS THE OCCLUDED SFC
FRONT WEST OF THE APPLNS MOVES THROUGH THE REGION TODAY. MAIN
QUESTION IS IF WE WILL GET MUCH SUN AFTER THIS FIRST WAVE OF
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WEAKENS TOWARD DAYBREAK.
CURRENT THINKING IS THAT WE WILL NOT SEE MUCH SUN...BUT SHOULD
STILL GET MODERATELY UNSTABLE IN THE PIEDMONT WITH FAIRLY STEEP
RATES HELPING TO REACH CAPES OF 1000 TO 1500 J/KG. THERE IS
SUFFICIENT SHEAR FOR MULTICELL CLUSTERS OF STORMS...AND WITH
FREEZING LEVELS AROUND 9000 FT LARGE HAIL WILL BE A THREAT...ALONG
WITH A LESSER THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS FROM SOME OF THE STRONGEST
STORMS. WILL BE ISSUING A SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK THE PIEDMONTS AND
FOOTHILLS OF SW VA/NW NC. I STAYED CLOSE TO MAV HIGH TEMPS FOR THE
DAY- SEEMED A LITTLE WARM...BUT WITH JUST A LITTLE SUN WE SHOULD
BE ABLE TO REACH THE LOWER 70S IN THE PIEDMONT. CONVECTION WILL BE
SHIFTING NORTH AND EAST WITH THE OCCLUDED FRONT TONIGHT- KEPT THE
HIGHEST POPS IN THE NERN CWA.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

THE UPPER LOW WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHERN OHIO VALLEY. WE LOSE THE
DEEP MOISTURE...BUT WE SHOULD SEE MORE SUN...WHICH WILL HELP WITH
SFC HEATING AND BECOMING UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR SCATTERED DIURNAL SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY IN THE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS. THIS SAME
PATTERN CONTINUES INTO TUESDAY AS THE OLD UPPER LOW SLOWLY LIFTS
NORTHEAST INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. A RAISED TEMPS A FEW
DEGREES BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY IN THE PIEDMONT THINKING THERE
WILL BE MORE SUN. NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST BEYOND
TUESDAY.

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND

STORMS ARE LIKELY TO PRODUCE PENNY SIZED OR LARGER HAIL. A FEW OF
THE STORMS MAY BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS. IF WE SEE SOME BREAKS OF SUN THIS MORNING TO PRODUCE
SURFACE HEATING...THEN STRONG STORMS MAY BE WIDESPREAD THIS
