What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
May 21, 9:40 PM EDT	TSTM WND DMG	West Union, OH	NUMEROUS TREES DOWN IN WEST UNION.

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

Cncnati-Daytn, OH (KILN), launched 00:00Z, 0.9 hours before the alert went out and 70 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Wilmington, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 21, 7:50 PM EDT, 1 hour 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 21, 7:50 PM EDT, 1 hour 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH
750 PM EDT FRI MAY 21 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY
MORNING AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD INTO THE REGION THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK...RESULTING IN DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
SOME PARTIAL CLEARING ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR FA HAS
ALLOWED THE AIRMASS TO BEGIN TO DESTABILIZE THIS AFTERNOON. ML
CAPES HAVE NOW CLIMBED TO AROUND 1000 J/KG ALONG THE INDIANA/OHIO
BORDER. AS ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES BEGINS TO PIVOT INTO OUR AREA LATER THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING...EXPECT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE WEST. PCPN SHOULD THEN PUSH EAST
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WILL GO WITH CATEGORICAL POPS IN THE
WEST...TAPERING DOWN TO LIKELY IN THE EAST THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE
INSTABILITY IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY WEAKEN OVERNIGHT...BUT MODELS
ARE HANGING ON TO SOME MARGINAL INSTABILITIES ALL THE WAY THROUGH
12Z . WILL THEREFORE KEEP A MENTION OF THUNDER ON THROUGH THE
NIGHT. THE SEVERE THREAT APPEARS SOMEWHAT MARGINAL ATTM AS WIND
FIELDS ARE NOT TERRIBLY IMPRESSIVE. THAT BEING SAID...IF ORGANIZED
ACTIVITY CAN GET INTO OUR WESTERN FA BEFORE WE BEGIN TO LOSE SOME
OF OUR BETTER INSTABILITIES...WET BULB ZERO LEVELS ARE CONDUCIVE
FOR SOME HAIL...AND SUPPOSE SOME LOCALIZED DAMAGING WINDS WOULD
ALSO BE POSSIBLE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE INDICATING THE POSSIBILITY
FOR SOME BACK BUILDING WITH THE STORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING...SO
FLOODING COULD ACTUALLY BECOME A BIGGER CONCERN THEN HAIL/DAMAGING
WINDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SOME LINGERING INSTABILITIES ACROSS THE EAST MAY BE ENOUGH FOR
SCATTERED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO PERSIST ON INTO
SATURDAY. EXPECT PCPN THREAT TO TAPER OFF FROM THE WEST THROUGH
THE DAY AS AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS PIVOTS EAST OF OUR AREA
THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON.

UPPER LEVEL RIDING WILL THEN PUSH IN FROM THE WEST THROUGH
SUNDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO DRY CONDITIONS AND WARMING TEMPERATURES.
TEMPS ON SATURDAY ARE A LITTLE TRICKY DEPENDING ON HOW FAST WE
BEGIN OT DRY OUT...BUT WILL TREND HIGHS TOWARD THE WARMER MAV
GUIDANCE FOR SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD NORTH THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND THEN
PINCH OFF INTO ONTARIO BY MONDAY. SURFACE HIGH WILL BE IN THE
VICINITY OF ONTARIO AND NEW YORK AS WELL...BUT WITH WESTWARD-MOVING
MOISTURE FLOW AROUND ITS SOUTH EDGE TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY. THE
GENERAL PATTERN IS PRETTY WELL IN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GFS/GEFS AND
ECMWF.

DESPITE THE DECENT HEIGHTS GENERALLY OVER THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH THE EXTENDED...THERE WILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR A CHANCE OF
POP UP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. TRIED TO LIMIT THIS TO 20 POPS IN
DIURNAL PERIODS BASED ON A LACK OF ANY SIGNIFICANT FORCING. SHOULD
ALSO BE NOTED THAT WINDS LOOK PRETTY LIGHT THROUGH THE COLUMN...SO
SHEAR MAY NOT BE HIGH...AND STORM MOTION MAY BE SLOW.

TEMPERATURES WILL PROBABLY BE PRETTY STEADY THROUGH THE WEEK WITH
HIGHS 5-10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMALS. MONDAY LOOKS A LITTLE COOLER
THAN SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY MAYBE A GENERAL WARMING OF A DEGREE OR SO
EACH DAY THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT TAF SITES FOR THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE
FORECAST UNTIL INSTABILITY DECREASES WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.
IFR CEILINGS ARE INDICATED BY MODELS AROUND 09Z WITH IMPROVEMENT
TO MVFR 15Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL ARRIVE ABOUT 20Z WITH HIGH
PRESSURE. WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM SOUTH TO WEST AT SPEEDS OF
11 KNOTS OR LESS. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT UNDER CLEAR SKIES AFTER 01Z
SUNDAY AT CVG.

.OUTLOOK...MVFR VSBYS POSSIBLE SUNDAY MORNING DUE TO MIST/FOG.

&&
