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 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

Cncnati-Daytn, OH (KILN), launched 12:00Z, 10.8 hours before the alert went out and 131 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, Apr 11, 4:07 PM EDT, 2 hours 41 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
407 PM EDT FRI APR 11 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA EARLY TONIGHT. AN UPPER LEVEL
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES IN LATE SATURDAY AND LINGERS THROUGH
MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
MODELS APPEAR TO HANDLE THE SYNOPTIC MASS FIELDS QUITE WELL. COLD
FRONT EXTENDING FROM INDIANA SOUTHWESTWARD THRU SOUTHWESTERN
KENTUCKY IS FORECAST TO ACCELERATE EASTWARD AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY
ROTATES AROUND VIGOROUS UPPER LOW OVER THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER AROUND 03Z...I79 CORRIDOR
AROUND 06Z...AND EXITS THE MOUNTAINS BY 09Z. HOWEVER...WITH A MOIST
AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE AHEAD OF THE FRONT...MODELS HAVING DIFFICULT
TIME HANDLING THE CONVECTION. EVOLUTION OF DEVELOPING CONVECTION
INDICATES THE TYPICAL SCENARIO. MAIN LINE OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING
WELL AHEAD OF THE FRONT FROM CENTRAL OHIO SOUTHWARD THRU EASTERN
KENTUCKY WILL ACCELERATE EASTWARD ACROSS OUR AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...TAKING MOST OF THE ATMOSPHERIC ENERGY WITH IT. MENTIONED
GUSTY WINDS REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE STORMS...STILL
POSSIBLE A FEW STORMS MAY BE SEVERE. IN ADDITION...50-60 KT
SOUTHERLY 850MB JET WILL KEEP GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON...
DIMINISHING WITH LOSS OF HEATING. BEHIND THIS LINE...KEPT CHANCE
POPS UNTIL THE FRONT MOVES THRU. CLOUD MAY BREAK FOR A WHILE BEHIND
THE FRONT...BUT WILL MOVE BACK IN LATER TONIGHT AS COLD ADVECTION
INCREASES AND THE UPPER LOW BEGINS TO DROP SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
PERIOD STARTS WITH DRY SLOT MOVING ACROSS CWA WITH SOME BREAKS IN
CLOUDS.  MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER LOW APPROACHES DURING THE
DAY AND SHOULD SEE INCREASING CLOUDS IN THE WEST ESPECIALLY DURING
THE AFTERNOON.  ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL START MOVING IN AROUND 21Z AS
WELL.  LIKED COOLER MET AS WELL.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY WILL FEATURE PLENTY OF CLOUDS AND
SCATTERED SHOWERS AS UPPER TROUGH DIPS INTO THE AREA.  EARLIER RUNS
OF THE GFS DUMPED MORE ENERGY IN THE BASE OF THE TROUGH TO OUR
SOUTHWEST...BUT NOW IT IS MORE SIMILAR TO MODELS LIKE THE
NAM/ECMWF/SREF.  RIPPLES IN THE MEAN FLOW MAY LOCALLY ENHANCE
COVERAGE FROM TIME TO TIME. BEST COVERAGE WILL BE SUNDAY AFTERNOON
WITH DECENT INSTABILITY...ALTHOUGH LAPSE RATES WILL NOT BE
ESPECIALLY STEEP ACCORDING TO BUFKIT SOUNDINGS. WENT WITH LIKELY
POPS AREAWIDE. H850 TEMPS OF AROUND -4C WILL ALLOW FOR SOME MIXED-IN
SNOW MAINLY AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...AND STILL CANNOT RULE OUT
SMALL HAIL/GRAUPEL IN ANY SHOWER IN THIS PATTERN.  RAN ON COOLER
SIDE OF MOS FOR BOTH SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT...THE MOISTURE STARTS TO WANE AS H500 TROUGH AXIS
PASSES BY.  CLOUDS WILL HANG AROUND AS LOW LEVEL FLOW GOES NORTHERLY
OR EVEN NORTH-NORTHEAST...BUT SUPPORT FOR SHRA WILL WANE WITH USUAL
DIURNAL DECREASE IN INSTABILITY.  ONLY HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FROM
I-64 ON SOUTH CLOSE TO 12Z MONDAY.  MAV/MET TEMPERATURE BLEND LOOKS
FINE.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MODELS CONCUR ON FASTER TIMING...PULLING SYSTEM AWAY FROM THE AREA
MON...TAKING ITS PRECIPITATION WITH IT.  HOWEVER...FORECAST UPPER
HEIGHTS AND TEMPERATURES ARE STILL LOW ENOUGH TO MAKE ANY RETURN OF
SUNSHINE MON SELF DESTRUCTIVE...GIVING WAY TO LOTS OF AFTERNOON CU.
THESE CLOUDS OF COURSE WILL DIE WITH THE SETTING SUN.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE SE ACROSS THE AREA WED MORNING BUT THEN ONLY
SLOWLY DRIFT ACROSS THE SE STATES THROUGH LATE WEEK.  THIS SETS US
UP WITH A PATTERN TYPICAL OF SPRING BUT ATYPICAL OF WHAT WE HAVE
EXPERIENCED SINCE THE MIDDLE OF LAST AUTUMN...DRY WITH A GRADUAL
WARMING TREND.  THIS WILL ESPECIALLY BE THE CASE WED AFTERNOON
FORWARD...WHEN FORECAST AREA IS IN RETURN SW FLOW ON BACK SIDE OF
AFOREMENTIONED HIGH.

ONGOING HIGHS MON WERE IN LINE WITH NEW NUMBERS EXCEPT SW...WHICH
WAS SHAVED TO BETTER FIT NEW MEX AND ISC.  WENT NEW MEX...WHICH WAS
A BIT LOWER FOR LOWS MON NT...MORE OF A RADIATION NT WITH QUICKER
SYSTEM EXODUS.  ONGOING FORECAST WAS IN LINE WITH LATEST MEX
NEGATING NEED FOR CHANGE.  AS SLOW MODERATING TREND CONTINUES
THROUGH THE BALANCE OF THE PERIOD...KEPT ONGOING HIGHS WHICH
REFLECTED TREND WELL...AND LOWERED LOWS ESPECIALLY IN THE VALLEYS ON
RADIATION...SLOWING THE NOCTURNAL MODERATION AND COMING MORE IN LINE
WITH GUIDANCE.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
18 FRIDAY THRU 18Z SATURDAY...
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA EARLY TONIGHT.
PRECEDING THE FRONT FOR MUCH OF THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE
GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS...ALONG WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY IN THE WEST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. STORMS WILL
BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED BY MID AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES

AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. A FEW OF THE STORMS MAY BE SEVERE WITH

WEST. OUTSIDE THE CONVECTION...VFR CEILINGS. BEHIND THE
