The radar

The Roanoke radar (KFCX), 122 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:39 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 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, 11.6 hours before the alert went out and 68 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 severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 4, 3:21 PM EDT, 4 hours 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 3:21 PM EDT, 4 hours 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
321 PM EDT WED JUN 4 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL BECOME STALLED OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND
PENNSYLVANIA BY THIS WEEKEND. WHILE THIS TAKES PLACE...HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER OUR REGION AND REMAIN STATIONAY
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. A SUMMER-LIKE HOT AND HUMID
PATTERN IS EXPECTED.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BUILD NORTH AND EAST INTO
THE BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...GRADUALLY
FORCING BAROCLINIC ZONE WELL TO OUR NORTH. DESPITE GOOD INSTABILITY
OVER THE AREA...STRENGTHENING CAPPING INVERSION CENTERED AT
7500-10000 FOOT LEVEL WILL PROGRESSIVELY LIMIT EXTENT OF CONVECTION
OVER THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY.

CURRENT CONVECTIVE COMPLEX TO THE NORTHWEST AND NORTH OF THE
BLACKSBURG AREA SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE MAINLY EAST ALONG/NEAR
THETA-E RIDGE AXIS. HOWEVER...SUFFICIENT CONCERN STILL EXISTS THAT
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THIS SYSTEM MAY PROVIDE THE NEEDED LOW LEVEL
FORCING AND CONVERGENCE TO CRACK CAP...RESULTING IN EXPLOSIVE
DEVELOPMENT ACROSS OUR NORTHERN TIER COUNTIES.  WILL THEREFORE
CONTINUE WITH EXISTING TORNADO WATCHES UNTIL THIS THREAT
DIMINISHES.

OTHERWISE...WILL HAVE TO RELY ON DIFFERENTIAL HEATING THAT WILL
EXIST MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS TO FIRE UP AN ISOLATED
OR WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM.  ONCE AGAIN...ANY STORM THAT HAS
SUFFICIENT FOCUSED UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION TO CRACK THE CAP SHOULD GO
SEVERE QUICKLY...SO WILL CONTINUE WITH LOW THREAT PROBABILITY OF
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES UNTIL LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING ELIMINATES THERMODYNAMIC SUPPORT FOR SUCH DEVELOPMENT.

GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES ARE CONSISTENT AND LOOK FAIRLY REASONABLE FOR
LOWS TONIGHT AND HIGHS ON THURSDAY.  HOWEVER...MAY BE JUST A BIT TOO
HIGH IN MOST AREAS BY A DEGREE OR TWO ON THURSDAY SINCE DAYTIME
HEATING WILL BE OFFSET SOMEWHAT BY CONTRIBUTION OF
EVAPOTRANSPIRATION AND SOME EVAPORATIVE COOLING FROM MOIST GROUND
WHERE RAIN HAS FALLEN RECENTLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BEGINNING ON FRIDAY...THE NATION WILL TRANSITION INTO A PATTERN THAT
WILL PLACE AN UPPER RIDGE ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. FROM ROUGHLY THE
MID-ATLANTIC REGION AND POINTS SOUTH WITH THE RESULT BEING VERY MUCH
LIKE A TYPICAL SUMMER PATTERN. BUILDING HEIGHTS WILL ALLOW FOR
PROGRESSIVELY WARMER TEMPERATURES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WHILE THERE
WILL BE NO UPPER LEVEL FORCING TO CONTEND WITH GIVEN THE CLOSEST
BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL BE WELL WEST OF THE REGION...DAYTIME HEATING
WITH A JUICY BOUNDARY LAYER AIRMASS WILL ALLOW FOR SUMMERTIME STYLE
DIURNAL CONVECTION IN THE MOUNTAINS WHERE DIFFERENTIAL HEATING AND
OROGRAPHICAL AFFECTS WILL ADD TO CONVECTION POTENTIAL IN THIS AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY THIS SUMMERTIME PATTERN WILL CONTINUE WITH
MORE DIURNAL ISOLATED/SCATTERED CONVECTION OVER THE MOUNTAINS. DURING
THIS PERIOD...AND ALSO THE EARLIER FRIDAY/SATURDAY TIME
PERIOD...STEERING WINDS WILL BE WEAK...SO ANY STORMS THAT DO FORM
ARE EXPECTED TO BE SLOW MOVERS THAT WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF
PRODUCING LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. WILL BE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE
FROM HPC DURING THIS PERIOD FOR BOTH TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS.
FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY THE REGION WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF
ACHIEVING SOME NEW RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES. A LIST OF RECORDS ARE
POSTED IN THE CLIMATE SECTION OF THIS DISCUSSION. ALSO...THE
RESULTANT HEAT INDICES SUGGEST VALUES THAT WILL SURPASS THE HEAT
ADVISORY THRESHOLD OF 105 F GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM
BUCKINGHAM TO DANVILLE TO REIDSVILLE LINE. WILL BE UPDATING THE HWO
TO REFLECT THIS.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
EXPECT TO SEE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL BLACKSBURG TERMINAL
FORECAST SITES FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE NEXT FIVE DAYS AS UPPER
RIDGE PROGRESSIVELY BUILDS OVER AREA...LEADING TO MUCH WARMER AND
DRIER WEATHER PATTERN.

ALTHOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE OVER THE AREA REMAINS UNSTABLE...CAPPING
INVERSION WILL PROGRESSIVELY LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAYTIME
CONVECTION EACH DAY...WITH THREAT MAINLY CONFINED TO THE MOUNTAINS
IN THE FORM OF AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DURING THE TIME OF BEST
SURFACE HEATING (MID AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING). MOST ORGANIZED
CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF ALL BLACKSBURG TERMINAL FORECAST
SITES...SO NOT INCLUDED AS PREVAILING OR TEMPO GROUP AT ANY
FORECAST SITE.

AS THE AIRMASS OVER THE AREA STAGNATES DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...
SOMEBRIEF MVFR VISIBILITIES MAY BE EXPERIENCED AROUND DAYBREAK IN
THE TYPICALLY FAVORED AREAS SUCH AS NEAR KLWB...AND PERHAPS OUT
ACROSS THE PIEDMONT (KLYH AND KDAN). SOME OCCASIONAL MVFR
VISIBILITIES MAY OCCUR FROM TIME TO TIME AS WELL ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS DUE TO SOME LIGHT HAZE...OTHERWISE
UNRESTRICTED CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.
