The radar

The Roanoke radar (KFCX), 133 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:20 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

Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 9.3 hours before the alert went out and 131 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.

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 Jun 9, 3:42 PM EDT, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 3:42 PM EDT, 1 hour 35 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
342 PM EDT TUE JUN 9 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WILL SLIDE INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC COMBINING WITH A FEW UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES. A STRONGER
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO OHIO...WITH A LEE TROUGH
REMAINING DOWNWIND OF THE APPALACHIANS LATE WEDNESDAY. THE
BOUNDARY FINALLY CROSSES THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH HIGH
PRESSURE ARRIVING FOR SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SUBTLE SHRTWV DROPPING INTO EAST TN AND WESTERN NC IS FORECASTED
TO AMPLIFY A BIT AS IT TAKES A FAVORABLE SE TRACK. THIS HAS
PROVIDED JUST ENOUGH BUMP FOR STORMS TO FIRE. RUC13 INDICATES THAT
THE SHRTWV WILL EXPAND UP AND DOWN THE BLUE RIDGE INTO THIS
EVENING...LIKELY KEEPING STORMS GOING INTO THE EARLY EVENING. ATMS
HAS BEEN UNSTABLE FOR A FEW DAYS...AND SOME STORMS WILL GO SEVERE
WITH HAIL AND DMGG WINDS MAIN THREAT...ALTHOUGH A WATCH IS NOT
EXPECTED ATTM. SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE INDICATES OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
FROM ELEVATED CONVECTION ATTM PERHAPS ORGANIZING INTO A LINE ALONG
THE PIEDMONT...HOWEVER STILL BATTLING A WNW DOWNSLOPE. UPPER
DIVERGENCE INC LATE TONIGHT ACROSS THE EXTREME EAST AS A H3 JET
STREAK...ALBEIT WEAK...CUTS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WITH A NNE TO
SSE ORIENTATION. SOME OF THE LOCAL WRF MODELS HAVE PICKED UP ON AN
MCS SPINNING OFF OF THE LINE OF STORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN PA. CORFIDI
VECTORS ARE ALMOST DUE NORTH TO SOUTH...SO THERE IS SOME VALIDITY
TO THIS SOLUTION. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS COMPLEX MAY
DEVELOP JUST EAST OF OUR CWA...BUT NONETHELESS HAVE LEFT SOMEWHAT
HIGHER POPS...ONLY CHC...IN THE FVX/DAN CORRIDOR LATER TONIGHT.
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING INTO OHIO TOMORROW DOES ALLOW WINDS TO
BACK WEDNESDAY...SO THE LIMITING DOWNSLOPING WIND OF TODAY MAY NOT
BE A FACTOR. WITH WINDS NOT AS UNIDIRECTIONAL ON WED...HODOGRAPHS
GET A TAD LONGER...AND INTRODUCTION OF LLVL SHR SUGGESTS MORE
TSTORMS AND MORE SVR POSSIBLE LATE WED INTO THE EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
FLOW REMAINS ZONAL WITH NUMEROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGHS EMBEDDED WITHING
THE MODEST MID LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW.  IF MODEL TIMING IS CORRECT A
STRONG WAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW LATE WEDNESDAY TRAVERSING THE
MID ATLANTIC REGION EARLY THURSDAY...ADDITIONAL ENERGY ARRIVING
AGAIN LATE THURSDAY...THE LATTER WAVE HELPING TO KICK NEARLY
STATIONARY SFC FRONT OVER THE OHIO VALLEY THROUGH THE FCST AREA.

MODEL PROGS SUGGEST STRONG NOCTURNAL JET TO SET UP FROM TENNESSEE
VALLEY INTO THE WESTERN SLOPES WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  AS SUCH...THINK
OPPORTUNITY WILL EXISTS FOR MCS TO TRAVERSE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
FOLLOWED BY CONTINUATION OF ACTIVITY THURSDAY AS COMBINATION OF
OUTFLOWS AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY BEGIN TO FOCUS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
ACROSS THE AREA. LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS SEEM INEVITABLE GIVEN
COMBINATION OF PLENTIFUL MOISTURE AND LIFTING MECHANISMS. IN
ADDITION TO POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER...FLOOD WATCH MAY BE
NEEDED.

UNTIL THE SURFACE FRONT PASSES THROUGH...WHICH MAY TAKE UNTIL
FRIDAY...THE AIRMASS OVER OUR FCST AREA WILL REMAIN WARM AND
HUMID...HIGH TEMPS IN THE 80S...LOW TEMPS IN THE 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPPER FLOW IS FORECAST TO AMPLIFY JUST ENOUGH TO NUDGE SURFACE FRONT
TO OUR SOUTH OVER THE WEEKEND. THE QUESTION IS HOW FAR SOUTH. BOTH
THE GFS/ECMWF TAKE THE FRONT DOWN TO ABOUT ATLANTA...BUT NEITHER
MODEL COMPLETELY RID CWA OF CLOUD COVER OR PRECIP THREAT. FOR NOW
WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN CHC SHRA/TSRA...BUT MAINLY DIURNAL IN
NATURE.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
STORM STARTING TO FIRE THIS PM SW OF KBLF AND WEST OF KLWB. ATMS
IS UNSTABLE AND THESE STORMS ALONG WITH THEIR OUTFLOW WILL HAVE
PLENTY OF ENERGY TO WORK WITH. HAVE CONTINUED PREVIOUS TREND OF CB
AND VCTS...AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE IF OR WHEN KLWB/KBLF
WILL TAKE A DIRECT HIT. STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES THIS PM. MORE SHWS
TODAY AND LESS CLDS TONIGHT COULD SEND LWB/LYH/DAN INTO IFR VIS
TONIGHT. IF CLDS FROM CONVECTION OUT WEST HOLD OFF LONG
ENOUGH...SEVERAL HRS OF LIFR VIS MAY OCCUR AT LWB. LOCAL WRF
MODELS HAVE BEEN INDICATING THE POSSIBILITY FOR TSTORM COMPLEX TO
DEVELOP ALONG CENTRAL VA MOVING QUICKLY SOUTH LATE TONIGHT. THIS
COULD AFFECT LYH/DAN...BUT HAVE LEFT OUT OF TAF FOR NOW. STORMS
ONCE AGAIN MAY ARRIVE AT LWB/BLF NEAR THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD AS
A STRONGER SHRTWV AND AREA OF LOW PRESSURE HIT THE OHIO VALLEY.

WITH THE APPROACH OF A COLD FRONT AND MOISTURE CONTINUING TO
INCREASE...SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS FROM
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...AND PERIODS OF
MVFR/IFR COULD OCCUR IN PASSING SHOWERS/STORMS.

SOME LOW CLDS AND VIS IS POSSIBLE THE FIRST HALF OF THIS WEEKEND
AS A NORTHERLY COMPONENT DEVELOPS BEHIND A SLOW MOVING BOUNDARY
OVER THE VA/NC BORDER.
