What was reported inside it
| Time | Report | Where | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 15, 1:05 PM EDT | HAIL 0.88 | 2 Ne Elkville, NC | NICKEL HAIL REPORTED IN FERGUSON BY PUBLIC |
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.
The nearest sounding before it
Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 4.7 hours before the alert went out and 119 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.

.UPDATE...
&&
.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...
TAIL END OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN/ISOLATED TSTMS IN THE
DEFORMATION ZONE IS BEGINNING TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS SW VA
AT THIS TIME. SHOWERS ARE BEGINNING TO FILL IN DOWN TOWARD THE WARM
FRONT ACROSS THE VA/NC PIEDMONT AS WELL...THOUGH TI LOOKS LIKE THE
HEAVY SHOWERS/TSTMS MAY PASS TO THE EAST OF THE CWA DOWN THAT WAY.
HOWEVER..IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE CAN LOWER POPS ACROSS SOUTHERN
SECTIONS OF THE CWA...SO I UPDATED THE GRIDS FOR THAT AND MADE
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HOURLY TEMPS/DEWPOINTS/WINDS. WILL LIKELY BE
NEEDING ANOTHER UPDATE BEFORE NOON ONCE THE SWATH OF MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAIN HAS HOPEFULLY MOVED OUT OF THE CWA.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 729 AM EDT SUN APR 15 2007/
UPDATE...
AVIATION /12Z-12Z/...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WERE PROGRESSING
INTO THE REGION. IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT...A SHIELD OF RAIN WITH
EMBEDDED HEAVIER RAIN SHOWERS...WAS ADVANCING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE
CAROLINAS INTO THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE REGION. LOOKING FOR
COVERAGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
THROUGH THE MORNING. EAST OF THE FRONT...CIGS AND VSBYS WILL
MAINLY BE IN THE IFR CATEGORY WITH OCCASIONAL JUMPS UP TO MVFR OR
DOWN TO LIFR. A STRONG SOUTHERLY JET JUST OFF THE SURFACE WILL
MAINTAIN LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AS WELL AHEAD OF FRONT. EXPECT THE
FRONT TO BE THROUGH THE ENTIRE REGION BY 16Z.
AFTER THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH...AREAS CAN EXPECT AN ABRUPT SHIFT
IN THE WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST WITH VSBYS/CIGS IMPROVING A SOMEWHAT
SLOWER RATE LAGGING INTO THE LATE MORNING WITH RAIN SHOWERS STILL A
POSSIBILITY WITH THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH YET TO PASS THROUGH THE
REGION. SURFACE WINDS IN MOST AREAS BY THE AFTERNOON WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY GUSTS IN THE 20 TO 30 KTS RANGE.
THIS EVENING THAT UPPER TROUGH DOES SLIDE THROUGH THE AREA WITH
STRONG SUBSIDENCE BEHIND IT AND 850 MB WINDS PROGGED TO INCREASE
TO 50 TO 60 KTS IN SOME PARTS OF THE AREA. RESIDUAL MOISTURE AND
FALLING TEMPERATURES WILL PUT A GENEROUS COVERAGE OF IFR SNOW
SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SE WV WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE
SCATTERED MVFR/VFR SNOW SHOWERS AS FAR EAST AS THE FOOTHILLS OF THE
BLUE RIDGE. SURFACE GUSTS IN THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE NIGHT WILL
APPROACH 40 TO 60 KTS IN THE MOUNTAINS...WITH 30 TO 40 KTS IN THE
FOOTHILLS AND POINTS EAST. THE PROLONGED NORTHWEST FLOW WILL
EVENTUALLY LEAD TO SUBSIDENCE EROSION OF CLOUDS EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE AFTER MIDNIGHT.
PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 450 AM EDT SUN APR 15 2007/
SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
AT 08 UTC 997 MB SFC LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER FAR WRN VA...MOVING
EAST BOUND AND DEEPENING AT A RATE OF ABOUT A MILLIBAR AN HOUR.
WARM FRONT EXTENDED ESE ACROSS NRN NC...TEMPS AND DEWPS IN THE 60S
SOUTH OF THE FRONT. IN CONTRAST...TEMPS/DEWPS STILL IN THE 40S
NORTH OF THE FRONT.
CONCERN THIS MORNING IS POTENTIAL FOR BOTH SVR WX AND FLOODING. AS
SFC LOW CONTINUES TO DEEPEN...ANTICIPATE COVERAGE OF SHRA/TSRA TO
INCREASE ALONG WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY. SHEAR PROFILES ARE
SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE BOUNDARY. TRAINING
OF SHRA/TSRA MAY ALSO RESULT IN FLOOD THREAT. WILL CONTINUE FLOOD
WATCH FOR AREAS EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS.
WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...CWA HAS BEEN IN A PRECIP SHADOW FOR MOST
OF THE NIGHT. FOCUS FOR OVERNIGHT RAINFALL HAS BEEN ALONG
DEFORMATION ZONE JUST TO OUR NW...VCNTY CRW...EXTENDING SW-NE ALONG
A LNP-CRW-GARRETT CO MD LN. THIS DEFORMATION BAND HAS MOVED VERY
LITTLE OVERNIGHT AND HAS RESULTED IN QUITE A BIT OF RAINFALL FOR
WV. OUT OF CONCERN FOR THIS DEFORMATION BAND TO DRIFT A LITTLE
FARTHER EAST...HAVE ISSUED A FLOOD WATCH FOR OUR SE WV COUNTIES.
SUNY ALBANYS MM5 HAS DONE THE BETTER JOB OF DEPICTING THE OVERALL
WEATHER FIELDS OVERNIGHT...THUS USING THIS MODEL FOR THE FIRST 12
HOURS OF THE FCST WITH RESPECT TO QPF. THE NAM/GFS DID POORLY...NOT
CAPTURING THE PRECIP SHADOW FROM THE NRV INTO NRN VA. NONE OF THE
MODELS HAVE GRASPED THE EXTENT OF THE COASTAL PRECIP OVER THE ERN
CAROLINAS. NET RESULT WILL LIKELY BE MUCH LESS QPF THAN FCST FOR
OUR CWA ONCE THE EVENT IS OVER.
LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BOMBOGENESIS WILL CONTINUE WITH THE SFC LOW CONTINUING TO DEEPEN
AT A RAPID PACE...REACHING NEIGHBORHOOD OF 975 MB AS IT REACHES
THE JERSEY SHORE TONIGHT. THIS WILL CREATE QUITE THE BACKLASH FOR
OUR CWA WITH STRONG 50-70 KT CROSS BARRIER FLOW DEVELOPING OVER
THE MOUNTAINS...A WIND EVENT THAT WILL BE OF LONG DURATION PER
FCST STALLING OF CYCLONE ALONG THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. WINDS ARE
FCST TO INCREASE IN OUR MTN COUNTIES BEGINNING 21 UTC TODAY...THEN
SPREAD EAST DURING THE EVENING. MOS HAS SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE
20-35 KT RANGE FOR ROA FROM TONIGHT THROUGH NOON TUESDAY. WIND
GUSTS OF 45 TO 60 KTS LIKELY WITH THIS EVENT...THE HIGHER WIND
GUSTS OCCURRING IN THE NC MTNS...GRAYSON AND CARROLL...LOOK OUT
TRUCKERS ON I-77 VCNTY OF FANCY GAP
BACKLASH FROM STORM WILL ALSO INCREASE THREAT FOR SOME ACCUMLATING
SNOW IN OUR HIGHER ELEVATIONS. ATTM NOT CONFIDENT ON TOTAL AMOUNTS
AS SNOWFALL WILL RESULT FROM WRAP AROUND MOISTURE AS OPPOSED TO
OUR TYPICAL LAKE EFFECT EVENTS WHERE TEMPS ARE TYPICALLY COLDER.
NEVER THE LESS...AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW A GOOD BET AT ELEVATIONS
ABOVE 3000 FEET...HIGHER AMOUNTS ABOVE 4000 FEET.
WIND GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO SLACKEN AFTER TUESDAY AS STORM BEGINS
TO FILL. THE UPPER TROUGH STICKS AROUND FOR MOST OF THE WEEK SO
ANTICIPATE COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPS.
AVIATION /08Z-06Z/...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WERE
PROGRESSING EAST THROUGH EASTERN KENTUCKY TOWARDS THE REGION. IN
ADVANCE OF THE FRONT...A SHIELD OF RAIN WITH EMBEDDED HEAVIER RAIN
SHOWERS...WAS ADVANCING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE CAROLINAS INTO THE
FAR SOUTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE REGION. LOOKING FOR COVERAGE TO
EXPAND ACROSS A MORE GENEROUS PORTION OF THE EASTERN PART OF THE
AREA PRIOR TO DAYBREAK. IN THIS REGION...CIGS AND VSBYS WILL MAINLY
BE IN THE IFR CATEGORY WITH OCCASIONAL JUMPS UP TO MVFR OR DOWN
TO LIFR. A STRONG SOUTHERLY JET JUST OFF THE SURFACE WILL
MAINTAIN LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AS WELL. WEST THE CREST OF THE
BLUERIDGE WILL BE MAINLY RAIN-FREE UNTIL THE LOW AND FRONT MOVE
INTO THIS AREA AROUND DAYBREAK...BUT IFR OR LOWER VSBYS FOR
MIST/FOG AND THE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL A ISSUE HERE.
AFTER THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH...AREAS CAN EXPECT AN ABRUPT SHIFT
IN THE WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST WITH VSBYS/CIGS IMPROVING A SOMEWHAT
SLOWER RATE LAGGING INTO THE LATE MORNING WITH RAIN SHOWERS WILL A
POSSIBILITY WITH THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH YET TO PASS THROUGH THE
REGION. SURFACE WINDS IN MOST AREAS BY THE AFTERNOON WILL BE
