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.

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 Aug 2, 10:29 AM EDT, 2 hours 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 2, 10:29 AM EDT, 2 hours 3 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1029 AM EDT SAT AUG 2 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TODAY BRINGING
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. DRIER WEATHER WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE
FRONT SUNDAY...WITH A WARMING TREND EXPECTED EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
ORGANIZED AREA OF SHOWERS/TSTMS AHEAD OF THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH HAS
MANAGED TO KEEP GOING DURING THE MORNING LULL WITH WEAK
INSTABILITY. MSAS/LAPS ALREADY SHOWING THE AREA AHEAD OF THE
CONVECTION BECOMING MORE UNSTABLE. ALSO...SATELLITE SHOWS PLENTY OF
HTG AHEAD OF THE STORMS AS WELL. MODIFIED GSO SOUNDING INDICATES
CAPES OF 2500 TO 3000 J/KG ARE LIKELY IN THE PIEDMONT. HAVE UPPED
THE POPS TO LIKELY AHEAD OF THE LINE OF STORMS...AND ADDED STRONG
WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN IN THE WX GRIDS AS WELL. WILL UPDATE THE HWO
TO HIGHLIGHT THREAT OF SEVERE TSTMS MAINLY EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE
THIS AFTERNOON.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
A STRONG SHORT WAVE SEEN ON WATER VAPOR WAS MOVING
ACROSS EASTERN MICHIGAN EARLY THIS MORNING....AND WILL QUICKLY
MOVE EAST INTO THE NORTHEAST US BY THIS EVENING. THIS WILL PUSH A
COLD FRONT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TODAY. DESPITE THE FACT THAT
THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED LIFT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE WESTERN
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLY IN THE DAY...STRENGTHENING
UPPER LEVEL WINDS AND FORECAST CAPES IN EXCESS OF 1200 J/KG AT ROA
BY 14Z...COULD RESULT IN SEVERE STORMS EARLY TODAY. BY LATE
AFTERNOON...MOST OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD BE IN THE FAR EASTERN
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA ALONG SFC BOUNDARY WHERE INSTABILITY
WILL BE STRONGEST...BUT COVERAGE OF STORMS MAY BE LIMITED WITH
WEST WINDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
FRONT WILL BE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY NIGHT....SO
DESPITE WEAKER SHORTWAVE PASSING OVER THE AREA SATURDAY
NIGHT...EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS. TEMPS SHOULD BE JUST A DEGREE OR
TWO COOLER SUNDAY MORNING WITH DRIER AIR MASS...BUT NOT A
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR SUNDAY ARE QUITE
DRY...SO WILL KEEP ONGOING DRY FORECAST IN PLACE. WITH DRY AIRMASS
IN PLACE...LOOK FOR A LARGE SPREAD IN DIURNAL TEMPS. AS A RESULT...
LOWERED LOW TEMPERATURES A DEGREE OR TWO FOR MONDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WHILE UPPER TROF AXIS SHIFTS EAST MONDAY...REGION REMAINS UNDER
WEAK NORTHWEST FLOW...AND A QUICK LOOK AT THE 00Z/02 GFS INDICATES
MIDWEST UPPER RIDGE HAS A DIFFICULT TIME MOVING EAST AND LATEST
GFS RETROGRADES THE UPPER RIDGE WEST ON TUESDAY...SO KNOCKED DOWN
TEMPS MONDAY/TUESDAY A COUPLE OF DEGREES. RAIN CHANCES MONDAY AND
TUESDAY LOOK MINIMAL AND OROGRAPHICAL/DIURNAL DRIVEN.

RAIN CHANCES INCREASE WEDNESDAY AS A SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY
DRIFTS TO THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. 00Z/02 GFS PUSHES
THIS BOUNDARY SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY...BUT WILL NOT
MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST DUE TO
THE UNCERTAINLY OF THE BOUNDARY LOCATION.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THUNDERSTORMS ENTERING SOUTHEAST WV EARLY THIS MORNING ARE
DEVELOPING AHEAD OF AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WHICH WILL EXIT
THE REGION THIS EVENING.

BEFORE THEN...SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT KBLF AND KLWB
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TAF PERIOD AND AFTER 15Z AT KROA AND KLYH.

BEST THREAT OF STORMS TODAY WILL BE IN THE MORNING IN THE WEST
AND IN THE AFTN IN THE EAST. DOWNSLOPING WINDS MAY INHIBIT
WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE TODAY. DRIER CONDITIONS
WILL SPREAD INTO THE REGION LATE TODAY AND THIS
EVENING...CONTINUING INTO THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.
