What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
May 23, 5:22 PM EDT	HAIL 0.88	Renick, WV

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

Roanoke, VA (KRNK), launched 12:00Z, 9.2 hours before the alert went out and 110 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.

Skew-T log-p

Temperature in red, dew point in green, the mixed-layer parcel dashed.

Area forecast discussion, May 23, 3:01 PM EDT, 2 hours 11 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
301 PM EDT WED MAY 23 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST WILL BUILD
DOWN THE EAST COAST THROUGH THURSDAY AND EXTEND INLAND OVER THE
SOUTHEAST U.S. INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS THIS
AFTERNOON AND A COUPLE OF THESE STORMS MAY APPROACH SEVERE WITH
CAPES FCST OVER 2000 J/KG. WITHOUT UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...EXPECT
THESE STORMS TO DISSIPATE SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. WENT A DEGREE OR
TWO ABOVE GUIDANCE FOR LOWS TONIGHT BASED ON THE PAST COOL BIAS
SHOWN BY GUIDANCE OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF NIGHTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
UPPER RIDGE WILL BE THE DOMINATE WEATHER FEATURE INTO
SATURDAY...ALTHOUGH RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN TOWARD THE END OF
THE SHORT TERM PERIOD AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE PUSHES
EAST NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES ALOFT
WITH BUILDING RIDGE AND LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE SHOVED EAST AS SFC
RIDGE BUILDS...ANY PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD BE NORTH AND WEST OF THE
FORECAST AREA. SOUTHEAST FLOW THURSDAY AND SIMILAR 1000-850MB
THICKNESSES COMPARED TO TODAY SHOULD KEEP HIGHS THURSDAY
COMPARABLE TO TODAYS VALUES.

LOW LEVEL FLOW BECOMES SOUTHWEST OF FRIDAY...AND WITH 1000-850MB
THICKNESSES INCREASING...WENT WARMER THAN GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS. BOTH
GFS/NAM DEVELOP WEAK SFC CONVERGENCE LINE ACROSS THE ALLEGHANY
HIGHLANDS. THIS WEAK CONVERGENCE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A LOW LEVEL
THETA-E RIDGE MAY BE ENOUGH TO BREAK WEAK CAP...SO KEPT A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF POPS IN THE NORTHEAST.

EVEN WARMER TEMPERATURES ANTICIPATED SATURDAY WITH CLIMBING
1000-850MB THICKNESSES. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW STRENGTHENING MID
LEVEL CAP WHICH SHOULD KEEP A LID ON THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.
&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LONG RANGE MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT BREAKING DOWN RIDGE SUNDAY
WITH NEXT SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES...WHICH HELPS
PUSH A COLD FRONT INTO THE EXTREME NRN PORTION OF THE FORECAST
AREA BY MONDAY MORNING. MODELS DIVERGE ON TUESDAY WITH
ECMWF/CANADIAN MODELS KEEPING A MORE PRONOUNCED UPPER TROF OFF THE
ATLANTIC COAST...WHICH KEEPS SFC BOUNDARY IN THE AREA. THIS FRONT
FINALLY LIFTS WEDNESDAY WITH RIDGE RE-BUILDING IN ADVANCE OF SHORT
WAVE MOVING NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES IN CANADA. WITH SFC BOUNDARY IN
THE AREA...EXPECT BEST CHANCE OF PRECIP DURING THE PERIOD MONDAY
AND TUESDAY...AND KEPT POPS GOING FOR WEDNESDAY FOR ALL BUT THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON WITH SCTD TSTMS IN THE
WEST. MOVEMENT OF THE STORMS WILL BE CLOSE TO NIL WITH THE UPPER
RIDGE OVERHEAD. WIDELY SCTD STORMS ALREADY DEVELOPING OVER THE
WEST...EXPECTING COVERAGE TO GRADUALLY INCREASE THROUGH 4PM.
COVERAGE SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR VCNTY TSTMS INTO THE BLF AND LWB
TAFS THROUGH THIS EVENING. BY LATE EVENING...CONVECTION WILL
SUBSIDE DUE TO LOSS OF HEATING.

WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN AIRMASS LATELY AND ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTR
IN THE AIR...IFR FOG IS LIKELY TNGT AT LWB. STRATUS CEILINGS MAY
ALSO DEVELOP TOWARD MORNING...BUT DO NOT THINK THE CHANCE IS HIGH
ENOUGH TO PUT IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME.

FOR THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...NO SIG WX EXPECTED. CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE SHOULD BE LESS WITH THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDING AND WARMING
TEMPS ALOFT.
