What was reported inside it

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 tornado 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, 5.9 hours before the alert went out and 22 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.

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT REMAIN IN THE

FORECAST AREA UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING. BY THE END OF THE DAY THE
FRONT WILL BE ALONG THE VIRGINA/NORTH CAROLINA BORDER WITH THE MOST
UNSTABLE AIRMASS JUST TO THE SOUTH. ALL THE CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION
WILL ALSO KEEP THE AIRMASS FROM DESTABILIZING. ELEVATED CONVECTION
IS POSSIBLE ANYWHERE THROUGHOUT THE AREA TODAY. BUFKIT IS SHOWING AN
ELEVATED CAPE STILL AROUND 900 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE VERY
MOIST AIRMASS AND THE GOOD SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT THROUGH FRIDAY

MTNS. WITH MORE SUNSHINE SATURDAY...RAISED HIGHS TEMPERATURES
INTO THE MID 70S IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE MID 80S IN THE PIEDMONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ON SUNDAY...THE RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN U.S. BUILDS AS A STRONG
SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED SFC LOW PRESSURE TRACKS NEWD ACROSS THE
MIDWEST. THIS PLACES OUR REGION INTO A WARM ADVECTION PATTERN.
THERE MAY BE SOME ISOLATED TO SCT CONVECTION WITH BEST CHANCE
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL BE

MID 80S IN THE SOUTHEAST. FOLLOWED HPCGUIDE WITH POPS FOR SUNDAY.

FOR MONDAY...THE SFC FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MIDWEST SYSTEM
TRACKING NEWD WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST. BECAUSE OUR

CHC OF AFT/EVE TSTMS.

A COLD FRONT SWEEPS EAST ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT. PLAYED HIGHS TUESDAY A LITTLE COOLER FROM THE MID 70S IN

MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITH CONVECTION AND LOW CLOUDS.
SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WITH MVFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THROUGHOUT THE
DAY. THE BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF
THE FORECAST AREA...ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY.

BUFKIT CONTINUES TO SHOW ELEVATED INSTABILITY EVEN AS FAR NORTH AS
LYNCHBURG BUT THE PROBABILITY IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO EVEN INCLUDE
THUNDER IN THE TAF FOR NOW.

NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY...CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE LOWER CEILINGS IN COMBINATION WITH
WIDESPREAD MODERATE RAIN TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN A PROLONGED PERIOD
OF IFR CONDITIONS AT ALL TAF SITES.

FRONT MOVE OFFSHORE. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY ON
