What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
May 31, 6:00 PM EDT	HAIL 0.75	Fairfield, VA

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, 9.6 hours before the alert went out and 67 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.

Area forecast discussion, May 31, 2:57 PM EDT, 2 hours 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
257 PM EDT THU MAY 31 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION WILL DRIFT SOUTHEAST AND OFF THE COAST BY THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSRA FORMING ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS IN AXIS OF
WEAK CONVERGENCE ZONE/MODERATE INSTABILITY LOOK TO CONTINUE INTO
THIS EVENING AHEAD OF WEAK S/W. POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF SVR DOWNBURST
GIVEN SOME DRY AIR ALOFT WITH SLOW MOVEMENT/HEAVY RAINFALL PROBABLY
A BIGGER CONCERN PER MOIST PWATS AND ANCHORED CELLS. THUS HAVE UPPED
POPS TO HIGHER CHANCE ACROSS THE WEST INTO THIS EVENING...WITH ONLY
ISOLATED COVERAGE OUT EAST WHERE DEEPER RH LESS. HOWEVER THINK WITH
SUCH SOUPY AIR AROUND THAT OUTFLOW MAY POSSIBLY HELP LINGER SOME
SHRA/TSRA A BIT LONGER SO INCLUDED ISOLATED MENTION THRU AROUND
MIDNIGHT. OTRW ANOTHER WARM/HUMID NIGHT UNDER CLEARING SKIES LATER
WITH PATCHY VALLEY FOG/HAZE AND MORE SO IN LOCATIONS THAT SAW ANY
RAINFALL. LOWS SIMILAR TO THE PAST FEW NIGHTS AND MORE IN LINE WITH
THE WARMER MET VS THE CHILLY MAV MOS OF LATE.

WEAK MID LEVEL WAVE EXITS FRIDAY AS THE OFFSHORE UPPER RIDGE AXIS
STRENGTHENS INLAND A BIT. ALTHO LOW LEVELS REMAIN QUITE MOIST...850
MB FLOW TURNS MORE WESTERLY BEHIND THE DEPARTING S/W ALLOWING A
LITTLE LESS THETA-E SUPPORT THAN TODAY. SINCE UPPER DIFFLUENCE ALSO
QUITE WEAK...THINK LESS COVERAGE ON FRIDAY ESPCLY GIVEN WEAKER
FORECAST INSTABILITY OFF THE NAM THAN SEEN OVER THE FAR WEST THIS
AFTERNOON. HOWEVER WITH WEAK DIFF HEATING...OLD BOUNDARYS AROUND AND
WEAK SE FLOW THINK LINGERING 20/30 POP STILL NEEDED FOR AT LEAST
WIDELY SCATTERED COVERAGE OVER THE MOUNTAINS OTRW PC. LOOKS LIKE A
REPEAT ON HIGH TEMPS...WITH TREND TOWARD THE WARMER MAV FOR NOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
NOT MUCH CHG TO THIS FORECAST PERIOD. FIGURE THAT MORE CLOUDS WILL
BE ABLE TO MOVE ON SATURDAY...BLOWING OFF OF WHATEVER TRACK THE
QUASI-COASTAL SYSTEM TAKES. THUS...DID PUT A FEW MORE CLOUDS EVEN
ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. BECAUSE OF THIS...DID LOWER MAX TEMPS A FEW
DEGREES FROM THE BLUE RIDGE WEST. CONTINUED TYPICAL TREND OF
ELEVATED AFTERNOON CONVECTION...THEN FALLING APART INTO THE
EVENING HOURS ON SATURDAY. SPLIT THE DIFF FOR HIGHS ON
SATURDAY...AS THE NAM-WRF CANT BE TRUSTED WITH ITS TRACK OF THE
GULF LOW...WHEREAS THE OP GFS LOOKS TO COLD. FOLLOWED GFS ENSEMBLE
H85 TEMPS WHICH RUN AROUND 16C 0Z SUN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LESS THE OPERATIONAL GFS...THE ECMWF AND GFS ENSEMBLES ARE IN FAIR
AGREEMENT FOR THIS TIMEFRAME...REGARDING THE LOW WHICH WILL FORM
IN THE GULF THEN TRACK UP THE COAST...OR FARTHER EAST IF ONE WERE
TO FOLLOW THE OP GFS. FURTHERMORE...SREF WIND PANELS DONT SHOW ANY
TYPE OF ANOMALOUS UPSLOPE FLOW...WHICH IF IT DID EXIST MAY RAISE
CONCERN ABOUT WATER PROBLEMS IN FAVORED SPOTS LATE THIS WEEKEND.
THE MOST RECENT NAM IS AN INLAND OUTLIER...AND WAS DISREGARDED FOR
NOW. SEEMS AS THOUGH THE NAM-WRF IS SHOWING ITS TYPICAL BIAS OF
OVERDOING CLOSED H5 SYSTEMS NEAR THE END OF ITS RUN.

ALTHOUGH A FEW DAYS AWAY...CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THE GULF
SYSTEM WILL PASS FAR ENOUGH TO OUR EAST...SO THAT OUR PRECIP WILL
ARRIVE WITH THE STORM AND COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE GREAT LAKES.
FOLLOWED HPCS THINKING...WHICH SLOWED THE ARRIVAL OF PRECIP DOWN
ABOUT 6-12 HRS FROM PREVIOUS FORECASTS...AS ITS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT
THE ENSEMBLE MEAN IS SLOWER THAN THE OP GFS..WHICH PUTS BEST CHCS
FOR RAIN LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY FIRST HALF. ENSEMBLES WERE MORE
PESSIMISTIC WITH POPS ON TUESDAY...AS A FEW DISTURBANCES PASS ALONG
THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE EASTERN TROUGH...SO DID HOLD WITH SLT CHC
POPS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...ALTHOUGH ENOUGH DRY AIR MAY E
PRESENT IN THE MID LEVELS TO KEEP THIS MORE OR LESS SPRINKLES.
WITH ENSEMBLE H850 TEMPS IN THE 8-11C RANGE NEAR THE END OF THE
LONG TERM...SHOULD BE ABLE TO SNEAK OUT SOME COOLER EVENINGS WEST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
LIGHT WINDS COMBINING WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN
AREAS OF FOG AND HAZE THROUGH AROUND 13Z. MVFR CONDITIONS ARE
LIKELY AT KROA AND KDAN...WITH IFR-LIFR CONDITIONS IN SHELTERED
VALLEYS OF THE WEST SUCH AS AT KLWB. ALL AREAS SHOULD SEE RETURN
TO VFR CONDITIONS BY 1330Z.

WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN DEVELOP IN 16Z-21Z
TIME FRAME...WITH PERHAPS SOME ISOLATED DEVELOPMENT OVER THE
SOUTHWESTERN MOUNTAINS BEGINNING A BIT EARLIER. VCTS HAS BEEN
MAINTAINED AT KROA...KLWB AND KBLF TERMINAL FORECAST POINTS WHERE
CONVECTIVE INITIATION IS THE MOST PROBABLE. SOME LOCALIZED IFR
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS...ALTHOUGH
THE CHANCE OF A RESTRICTION AT ANY TAF POINT IS EXCEEDINGLY LOW
AND THEREFORE NOT INCLUDED IN THE FORECAST. MORNING MVFR FOG AND
HAZE...WITH LOCALIZED IFR CONDITIONS...ARE EXPECTED ONCE AGAIN
TONIGHT IN 08Z-12Z TIME FRAME.

FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...WILL CONTINUE WITH A PERSISTENCE FORECAST
FOR EARLY MORNING MVFR FOG AND HAZE FOLLOWED BY AFTERNOON WIDELY
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR DURING THE
DAYTIME PERIODS OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. BY SUNDAY...THE
THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE ALONG WITH
ASSOCIATED MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS AS WEATHER DISTURBANCES APPROACH
THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST.
