The radar
The Tallahassee radar (KTLH), 45 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:49 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
Tallahassee Rgnl, FL (KTLH), launched 12:00Z, 9.8 hours before the alert went out and 43 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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
322 PM EDT SAT AUG 23 2008
...TROPICAL STORM FAY POUNDING BIG BEND WITH HEAVY RAINFALL...
.SHORT TERM...DISCUSSION WILL BE BRIEF. BAND OF VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL CONTINUES OVER THE FLORIDA BIG BEND THIS AFTERNOON. VERY
LITTLE OVERALL MOVEMENT TO THE BAND EVEN AS THE CENTER OF FAY
MEANDERS SLOWLY WEST OVER THE PANHANDLE...CURRENTLY SOMEWHERE IN
CENTRAL WALTON COUNTY. STORM TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS HAVE
EXCEEDED 20 INCHES OVER PORTIONS OF JEFFERSON...MADISON...AND
TAYLOR COUNTIES. GROUND TRUTH REPORTS INDICATE THAT THE RADAR
ESTIMATES ARE PRETTY CLOSE TO REALITY. EXPECT HEAVY RAINFALL TO
CONTINUE OVER THE BIG BEND BEFORE HOPEFULLY BEGINNING TO SHIFT TO
THE WEST OVERNIGHT.
WILL EXTEND FLOOD WATCH THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING AND TROPICAL STORM
WIND WARNINGS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY.
UNFORTUNATELY THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF FAY WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE
DEEP MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY AND INTO
MONDAY. THIS WILL KEEP RAIN CHANCES WELL ABOVE NORMAL AND
TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL.
.LONG TERM...THE EXTENDED PERIOD STILL REMAINS UNCERTAIN AND WILL ULTIMATELY
DEPEND ON THE FINAL TRACK OF TROPICAL STORM FAY. THE LATEST OFFICIAL
NHC FORECAST AND THE MODELS INDICATE FAY WILL MOVE TO A POSITION
WEST OF OUR AREA THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD AND
MAY STALL AS THE STEERING ENVIRONMENT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME VERY
WEAK.
CURRENTLY...THE MODELS INDICATE PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE ACROSS
MUCH OF THE CWA WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW STREAMING ACROSS THE AREA
WRAPPING INTO FAY FROM THE GULF. THIS WILL KEEP THE RAIN CHANCES UP
THROUGH THE MID WEEK PERIOD...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF
OF THE CWA. WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...THE MODELS SHOW REMNANTS OF
FAY LIFTING OUT TOWARD THE NORTHEAST AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AND
A DRIER AIRMASS BUILDS BACK ACROSS THE AREA.
&&
.AVIATION...TROPICAL STORM FAY CONTINUES TO VERY SLOWLY MOVE WEST
ACROSS THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE. RAINBANDS WRAPPING AROUND THIS
SYSTEM WILL EFFECT ALL TERMINALS INTO TONIGHT. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL
WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR IN A BAND EFFECTING KABY...KTLH...AND KDHN
AND AT TIME KVLD. PREVAILING MVFR WITH TEMPO IFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVY
RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED AT THESE TERMINALS INTO THE EVENING HOURS WITH
GUSTY WINDS OF 30 TO 40 KNOTS POSSIBLE. LIGHTER RAINS FOR KPFN ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF FAY. EVEN WITH THE
LIGHTER RAINS...CIGS ARE QUITE LOW WITH PREVAILING LOW MVFR AND
TEMPO IFR CONTINUING. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL AND LOWEST CIGS/VIS
STILL EXPECTED TO SLOW END AROUND KVLD DURING THE EVENING HOURS.
FURTHER WEST THE FORECAST IS LOWER CONFIDENCE INTO TONIGHT. HEAVIEST
BAND OF RAIN SHOULD START TO SHIFT WESTWARD AND WILL TREND THE
HEAVIER RAIN DOWN FROM EAST TO WEST THROUGH THE NIGHT. EVEN STILL
EXPECT SCT SHOWERS/STORMS TO CONTINUE TO EFFECT THE TERMINALS INTO
SUNDAY.
&&
.MARINE...TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS CONTINUE FOR THE COASTAL WATERS
WITH FREQUENT GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS. NO REAL CHANGES TO PREVIOUS
FORECAST FOR THE COASTAL WATERS.
