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 12:00Z, 9.0 hours before the alert went out and 49 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jul 7, 3:08 PM EDT, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 7, 3:08 PM EDT, 1 hour 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
308 PM EDT MON JUL 7 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL TRAVERSE THE AREA THE NEXT FEW
DAYS PRODUCING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. IT WILL
REMAIN VERY WARM AND HUMID AS SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES DURING THE
PERIOD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE STUBBORN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS CURRENTLY OVER THE PIEDMONT OF VA.
WITH AFTERNOON HEATING AND A SATURATED ATMOSPHERE...STORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO FIRE ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE THEN DRIFT TO THE EAST THIS
EVENING. WITH LOSE OF HEATING...THESE STORMS WILL FADE THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

MODIFIED 12Z SOUNDINGS FROM RNK AND GSO SHOW MODERATE INSTABILITY
AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON WITH CAPES FROM AROUND 1500 J/KG...TO POSSIBLY
2500 IN THE PIEDMONT. WITH UPPER LOW RIGHT OVER THE
AREA...STEERING WINDS WILL BE VERY WEAK...SO STORM MOTION WILL BE
SLOWLY EASTWARD. IN ADDITION...PROPAGATION VECTORS ARE ALSO VERY
WEAK AND ERRATIC AS WOULD BE EXPECTED WITH AN UPPER LOW OVER THE
AREA....SO ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR
VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS. AT LEAST THE PW ATS ARE NOT ELEVATED- JUST
PRONGED TO BE AROUND 1.4 OR 1.5 THIS AFTERNOON...NEAR NORMAL FOR
JULY. FFG IS ALSO QUITE HIGH EXCEPT IN THE ISOLATED LOCATIONS
WHERE WE HAVE HAD HEAVY DOWNPOURS PAST FEW DAYS. WILL KEEP MENTION
IN THE WHO- JUST ADDED IT TO THE WEATHER FOR THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THIS EVENING. A FEW OF THE STORMS PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN STRONG
ENOUGH TO HAVE WET MICRO BURSTS AND IN ADDITION...OUR MID LEVEL
AIRMASS TODAY IS DRIER THAN PAST FEW DAYS...SO I WILL ADD IN GUSTY
WINDS TO THE WEATHER GRIDS. I EXPECT A FEW OF THE STORMS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING TO HAVE STRONG POSSIBLY DAMAGING
WINDS...SO WILL ADD TO THE HWO. I RAISED POPS A BIT- LOOKS LIKE
THE BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE/FORCING OCCURS IN THE MTNS EARLY
AFTERNOON...AND THEN SHIFTS EAST INTO THE FOOTHILL AND PIEDMONT
LATE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. HAVE KEPT POPS TO CHC...BUT
RAISED TO 50 PCT IN MOST OF THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT. WILL WORD
AS SCATTERED RATHER THAN CHC.

ON TUESDAY...UPPER LEVEL LOW DRIFTS TO THE EAST COAST. WAVES WORKING
AROUND THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
AREA. BEING ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM...COVERAGE WILL NOT BE A
GREAT AS THEY HAVE BEEN. HOWEVER...THE STORMS THAT DO IGNITE
TOMORROW WILL HAVE THE SAME INTENSITY WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND
SMALL HAIL.

DO NOT THINK I CAN IMPROVE ON GUIDANCE FOR TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY. THEREFORE I STAYED CLOSE TO MAV. TEMPERATURES DURING THE
PERIOD WILL BE SIMILAR TO WHAT HAVE BEEN THE LAST COULD OF DAYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT HAS PLAGUED THE REGION FOR THE LAST 3-4
DAYS WILL BE ALONG THE EAST COAST TUESDAY NIGHT. WITH DRY AIR
ENTRAINING IN ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS FEATURE AND INCREASING
HEIGHTS ALOFT...ANY LINGERING CONVECTION WILL WANE DURING THE
EVENING. HOWEVER...THE END TO THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE SHORT LIVED AS PREFRONTAL CONVECTION AND A STRONGER LOW LEVEL
JET CROSS THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY. GFS HAS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH
BRING SHOWERS INTO THE WEST IN THE MORNING...THEN INTO THE EAST
DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. BEST JET DYNAMICS STAY WELL TO THE
NORTH...BUT WITH A SATURATED ATMOSPHERE AND MODERATE
INSTABILITY...STRONG STORMS COULD DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTH HALF OF
RNK CWA. CAN NOT RULE OUT STORMS TO THE SOUTH...BUT THE BETTER
PART SHOULD BE NORTH. IN TYPICAL SUMMER TIME FASHION...SHOWERS
SHOULD END BY MIDNIGHT THURSDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER AROUND NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE HUMID
CONDITIONS WILL ALSO PREVAIL.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS EXPECTED...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IN THE GULF AND LITTLE UPPER
LEVEL SUPPORT TO THE NORTH HAS THE COLD FRONT SLOWER AND NOT
TRACKING THROUGH THE REGION UNTIL THURSDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT.
THOSE AREAS NOT SEEING WIDE SPREAD CONVECTION ON WEDNESDAY WILL
LIKELY SEE STRONG STORMS WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE PRIME AREA WILL BE ALONG THE VA/NC
BORDER SOUTH. DRY AIR WITH NORTHWEST FLOW SHOULD EMBRACE THE
ENTIRE AREA BY FRIDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING DRY
WEATHER TO THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND...BUT A WEAK TROUGH ALOFT
CLOUD ALSO BRING AN ISOLATED SHOWER TO THE MOUNTAINS. EVEN WITH
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...DO NOT EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO COOL OFF MUCH.
WITH DRY AIR AND A STRONG SUMMER SUN...TEMPERATURES COULD EASILY
WARM TO ABOVE NORMAL. 850 MB TEMPERATURES ARE FORECASTED TO BE
+18C TO +20C OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG AND WEST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE IN SW VA. THE STORMS WILL CONTINUE SREADING/PROPAGATING
EAST-NORTHEAST INTO THE EVENING. I HAVE INCLUDED PERIODS OF TSTMS
AT BOTH ROA AND LYH WHERE THS CHC IS THE HIGHEST...AND JUST VCNTY
TSTMS REST OF THE TAF SITES. BRIEF VSBY/CIG RESTRICTIONS LIKELY
IN ANY STORMS THAT DO PASS ACROSS AIRPORTS. VARIABLE FOG AND BR BY
EARLY MORNING TUESDAY AGAIN.

THE UPPER TROF IS NOT FORECAST TO MOVE EAST OF THE COUNTY WARNING
AREA UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING SO MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH TUESDAY.

COOL FRONT PASSES ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION ON WEDNESDAY
CONTINUING THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BUT ALLOWING
SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR FOR LATE WEEK.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SEVERAL FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS ISSUED SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND APPARENTLY
VERIFIED OVER MERCER AND GILES COUNTY. RADAR RAINFALL AMOUNTS 3 TO 4
INCHES IN SEVERAL HOURS PRODUCED AT LEAST ISOLATED
FLOODING...ALTHOUGH THE HIGHEST RAIN GAGE REPORT WAS 2.49 INCHES
AT EADS MILL IFLOWS IN MERCER COUNTY. GAGED STREAM RESPONSE IN THE
AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN WAS VERY UNIMPRESSIVE. THE BLUESTONE RIVER AT
SPANISHBURG IN MERCER COUNTY ROSE LESS THAN A FOOT...WHILE WALKER
CREEK AT BANE IN GILES COUNTY ROSE AROUND 1.5 FEET. STORMS TODAY
AND TUESDAY COULD ALSO PRODUCE VERY LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING PER
THE DISCUSSION ABOVE.
