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.

NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 10, 2:35 PM EDT, 4 hours 4 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 2:35 PM EDT, 4 hours 4 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
235 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT...AND
THEN STALL ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA WEDNESDAY. THE FRONT WILL LIFT
NORTH ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE NUMEROUS AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH
THE BEST COVERAGE IN THE MOUNTAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A BIT
COOLER TODAY WITH INCREASING CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP BETWEEN 18-21Z ALONG THE COLD FRONT
COMING OUT OF THE OHIO VALLEY AND ALONG THE LEE TROF EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE. THROUGH 21Z THE BEST COVERAGE OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO
BE IN THE MOUNTAINS THEN AFTER 00Z THE FOCUS WILL SHIFT TO EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE. SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH
SURFACE CAPE VALUES BETWEEN 1600-2400 J/KG AND ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE
IS ABUNDANT. HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE WITH ANYONE
STORM...HEAVY DOWNPOURS COULD ALSO LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING.

THE WEAK COLD FRONT SHOULD CLEAR THE AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT...WITH A
POSSIBLE ISOLATED SHOWER LINGERING THROUGH THE MORNING ALONG THE
VA/NC BORDER. THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY...THETA-E BOUNDARY DRAPED
ACROSS THE AREA AND WITH AFTERNOON HEATING AND SOUTHEAST
FLOW...CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE IN NORTHWESTERN NORTH CAROLINA LATE
MORNING THEN SPREADS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
DRIER STABLE AIR TO THE NORTH (LWB-ROA-LYH) SHOULD KEEP CONVECTION
SUPPRESSED.

ANOTHER MUGGY NIGHT IS ON TAP FOR TONIGHT. WITH A CHANGE IN AIR
MASS TOMORROW...TEMPERATURES WILL LOWER INTO THE 80S BUT STILL REMAIN 4-8F
ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE WEDGING DOWN THE EAST COAST WITH THETA-E BOUNDARY
ACROSS THE ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS TO SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA. FLOW INTO THE
REGION WILL BECOME SOUTHEASTERLY AND DEEPEN THROUGH THE PERIOD.
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL PROVIDE AN INVERSION ALOFT AND WITH MOIST LOW
LEVEL FLOW...CLOUDY SKIES WILL STICK AROUND THROUGH MOST OF THE
PERIOD ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. RAIN CHANCES LOOK BEST
ALONG EASTERN SLOPES OF THE BLUE RIDGE FROM FLOYD COUNTY SOUTH INTO
WATAUGA COUNTY. MODELS ARE SHOWING A SHORT WAVE OVER THIS AREA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...BUT THINK OROGRAPHICS WILL PLAY A
BIGGER ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS. WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP
HIGHER POPS IN RNK SOUTHERN REGION. NORTHERN PART OF THE CWA COULD
SEE SOME LIGHT RAIN ON EASTERN SLOPES...BUT DRY AIR MAY BE TO
STRONG. IF ANY SHOWERS DO DEVELOP OR MOVE TO THE NORTH...THEY MAY
NOT MEASURE AND THEREFORE WILL KEEP POPS LOW...IF ANY.

WITH MORE CLOUDS AND RAIN EXPECTED...DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL BE
COOLER THAN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. IF ANY DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL...IT MAY BE SOUTHEAST WEST
VIRGINIA (BLF-LWB) WITH DOWNSLOPING FLOW AND A BETTER CHANCE TO SEE
MORE SUN. OVERNIGHT LOWS MAY ALSO RUN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE
PERIOD WITH ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS TO THE REGION ON FRIDAY WITH PREFRONTAL
STORMS DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON (MOUNTAINS) AND LINGERING INTO
THE EVENING HOURS (EAST). THERE SHOULD BE A BREAK IN THE CLOUDS
SATURDAY MORNING TO SEND THE TEMPERATURES SOARING AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. 850 TEMPERATURES PUSHING +20C
AND IF ABUNDANT SUNSHINE IS AVAILABLE...MID TO UPPER 90S ARE
POSSIBLE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...ESPECIALLY IN THE PIEDMONT. THE
FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS TO THE MOUNTAINS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND
THEN INTO THE PIEDMONT DURING THE EVENING. FRONTAL PRECIP MAY BE
SLOW TO EXIT SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA SUNDAY MORNING SO WILL KEEP LOW POPS
IN A LITTLE LONGER. ONCE FRONT PASSES...COOLER DRIER AIR WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP BETWEEN 18-21Z ALONG THE COLD FRONT
COMING OUT OF THE OHIO VALLEY AND ALONG THE LEE TROF EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE. THROUGH 21Z THE BEST COVERAGE OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO
BE IN THE MOUNTAINS THEN AFTER 00Z THE FOCUS WILL SHIFT TO EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE. THE CHANCE OF RAIN IN BLF AND LWB IS GREATER THAN
60 PERCENT SO HAVE LEFT TSRA IN THE BODY OF THE TAFS. THE CHANCE
IS SLIGHTLY LOWER IN ROA/LYH/DAN SO HAVE USED BUFKIT AND PUT VCTS
IN DURING THE MOST LIKELY TIME THERE WILL BE STORMS.

CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO BE RELATIVELY HIGH THIS AFTERNOON. THE
DRIER AIR BELOW THE CLOUDS COULD RESULT IN VERY STRONG WINDS WITH
ANY OF THE BIGGER STORMS. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE ALSO ABOVE
NORMAL SO ANY OF THE STORMS MAY BRIEFLY PRODUCE IFR TO MVFR
VISIBILITIES DUE TO VERY HEAVY RAIN.

THE WEAK FRONT BE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY LATE TONIGHT. AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND LOW LEVEL WINDS COME AROUND TO THE
NORTHEAST THEN EAST CEILINGS WILL START TO LOWER...ESPECIALLY IN
THE SOUTHERN COUNTY WARNING AREA. DONT THINK CEILINGS WILL LOWER
TO MVFR UNTIL AFTER 18Z WEDNESDAY.

THE REMAINS OF THE FRONT WILL STALL OVER NC WED AND PROVIDE A
FOCUS FOR TSTM DEVELOPMENT. THESE STORMS MAY AFFECT THE AREA
AIRPORTS LATE WED AFT INTO WED EVENING. BLF AND DAN HAVE THE BEST
CHC TO SEE STORMS WED. THE FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD THU AND CONTINUES
TO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR TSTM DEVELOPMENT BRINGING A CHC TO ALL OF
THE AREA AIRPORTS.

THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND WILL FEATURE A RETURN TO HIGH
PRESSURE...WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS...EXCEPT FOR ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE HIGHEST CHCS IN THE
MTNS.
