The radar

The Roanoke radar (KFCX), 38 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:35 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 flash flood 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 00:00Z, 3.6 hours before the alert went out and 55 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, Jun 22, 10:08 PM EDT, 1 hour 26 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1008 PM EDT SUN JUN 22 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT JUST ENTERING THE OHIO VALLEY...WILL STOP JUST SHORT OF THE
MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST MONDAY AFTERNOON. A SMALL AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL FINALLY SHOVE THE REMNANTS OF THIS BOUNDARY OFF THE
COAST TUESDAY...AND HOLD A WARM FRONT WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS
MOUNTAINS LATE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
HAD ANOTHER QUICK UPDATE TO EXTEND WATCH 594 THRU MIDNIGHT GIVEN
CONTINUING COVERAGE OF STRONG/SVR STORMS. HAVE DROPPED SOME
COUNTIES TO THE NORTHWEST...SE WV AND THE VA BORDER COUNTIES. I
ALSO UPDATED THE WEATHER TO REFLECT COVERAGE FROM THE NEW RIVER
VALLEY...NORTHEAST INTO THE SRN SHEN VALLEY. DESPITE BOUNDARY
LAYER COOLING...00Z RNK RAOB SHOWS PLENTY OF INTSBAILITY FOR THE
BROKEN LINE OF STSTMS TO TAP AS THEY MOVE INTO THE FOOTHILLS AND
PIEDMONT.

AN APPROACHING WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND ADDITIONAL S/WV ENERGY
LATER THIS AFTERNOON WILL HELP KEEP LAPSE RATES RELATIVELY
STEEP...AS WELL AS HELP INCREASE SHEAR A BIT AND BRING IN SOME
DRIER AIR ALOFT LATE IN THE DAY. SOME ADDITIONAL COOLING ALOFT IN
THE WEST WILL LEAD TO SFC CAPES OF 2000 J/KG OR HIGHER. AS A
RESULT...APPEARS THE CHANCES ARE BETTER FOR SOME MORE ORGANIZED
CONVECTION AND PROBABLY A FEW MORE SEVERE STORMS COMPARED TO
SATURDAY...WITH WIND PERHAPS HIGHEST THREAT. SUSPECT EARLIEST
CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN OVER HIGHEST TERRAIN BUT SPREADING EAST AND
ALSO MORE ORGANIZED MOVING IN FROM WEST LATE IN THE DAY OR
EVENING. JUST WENT WITH MODERATE TO HIGH CHC POPS EVERYWHERE...WITH
HIGHEST IN THE WEST LATE.

WHILE THERE MAY BE MORE AREAS THAT BY EARLY EVENING HAVE
EXPERIENCE CONVECTION COMPARED TO SATURDAY...THE TIMING OF THE SFC
BOUNDARY AND STRONGER UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS LIKELY TO ONCE AGAIN
KEEP SOME CONVECTION GOING WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SO HAVE
KEPT A SMALL CHC POP UP FOR THE WEST ALL NIGHT...SLIGHT CHC IN THE
EAST.

AM STICKING VERY CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS TODAY AND LOWS
OVERNIGHT WITH SMALL UPWARD ADJUSTMENTS PER RECENT COOL BIASES FOR
HIGHS. HIGHS VERY SIMILAR TO SATURDAY WITH MID TO UPPER 80S EAST
AND 70S TO NEAR 80 WEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
STILL AWAITING A WEAK BOUNDARY TO CROSS THE CWA ON MONDAY...WITH
ENOUGH MOISTURE REMAINING...ALONG WITH COOLER AIR ALOFT...STORMS
CAN STILL FIRE...PERHAPS LASTING WELL INTO MONDAY NIGHT NEAR
DANVILLE. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG. LOW PRESSURE
STRENGTHENING OFF THE COAST...AND RESULTING DOWNSLOPING WIND ON
TUESDAY MAY KEEP IT WARMER THAN GUIDANCE WITH QUICK DEWPOINTS
FALLS/MIXING IN THE AFTERNOON ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE AND EAST. NICE
AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE RIGHT OVER KLWB/KBLF MAYBE WORTHY OF A FEW
DEGREES BELOW GUIDANCE FOR MINS THAT NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
UPPER PATTERN LOOKS STRIKINGLY SIMILAR TO WHAT IS OCCURRING RIGHT
NOW. HEAT CONTINUES OUT WEST WITH UPPER HIGH CENTERED JUST SOUTH
OF THE FOUR CORNERS. BY NEXT WEEKEND...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
STRENGTHENS INTO A CLOSED H5 LOW ALONG THE UPPER GREAT LAKES...IN
RESPONSE TO AN AMPLIFYING UPPER RIDGE OUT WEST AS ANOTHER GYRE
CRANKS JUST SOUTH OF ALASKA. THUS...BEST CHC OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN LOOKS TO ARRIVE DURING THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SCTD STRONG AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST ACROSS PARTS OF
THE AREA THIS EVENING ASSOCIATED WITH SEVERAL BANDS OF TSRA. WILL
CONTINUE TO KEEP MIX OF VCTS AND TEMPO TSRA MENTION UNTIL A COUPLE
HOURS AFTER LOSS OF HEATING. OTRW MAINTAINING VFR OUTSIDE OF
STORMS EARLY THIS EVENING WITH BRIEF MVFR/IFR DURING THEIR
PASSAGE.

MORE MVFR FOG TO DEVELOP MOST LOCATIONS AND LIKELY IFR
AT LWB/DAN...AND PERHAPS LYH/BLF.

STILL A CONTINUED CHANCE OF SCATTERED CONVECTION MONDAY AFTERNOON
ESPCLY OVER THE EAST AS COLD POOL ALOFT PUSHES ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS. OTRW WILL INCLUDE A CB MENTION MOST AREAS WITH VFR/MVFR
CIGS IN THE AFTERNOON. NOTICEABLE CLEARING WILL OCCUR TUE AND WED
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ACROSS OUR SOUTH.
