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, 9.6 hours before the alert went out and 65 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 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 3, 3:57 PM EDT, 1 hour 37 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 3:57 PM EDT, 1 hour 37 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 357 PM EDT THU JUN 3 2010 .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST TODAY AND STALL TO OUR NORTH ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. THIS FRONT WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY INTO SATURDAY...WITH WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING ALONG IT GENERATING AREAS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE FRONT STRENGTHENS AND MOVES THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC REGION SUNDAY...SWEEPING WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA MONDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 300 PM...KFCX 88D SHOWED A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE AREA FROM ROUGHLY NATURAL BRIDGE TO NEAR CHATHAM TO JUST NORTH OF WILKESBORO. THIS ACTIVITY IS A RESULT OF SURFACE TEMPERATURES REACHING THE CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE ALONG WITH THE AREA BEING IMPACTING BY THE SOUTHERN TIP OF A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH PRIMARILY NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND. ANTICIPATE THE COVERAGE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ACTIVITY TO PUSH EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA HEADING INTO THE EARLY EVENING. ADDITIONAL POP UP SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REGION AS WELL DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. WE ARE ALSO WATCHING ANOTHER TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS FEATURE WILL BE ARRIVING IN THE WEST LATER THIS EVENING...AND IT TOO WILL ACT AS A FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS. THIS ONE WILL ARRIVE PAST PEAK HEATING SO THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ONLY SCATTERED COVERAGE. WILL LINGER DECREASING POPS THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS. EXPECT ANOTHER MILD...HUMID NIGHT WITH PATCHY RIVER AND MOUNTAIN VALLEY FOG. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 60S IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH MID 60S EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. ON FRIDAY...EXPECT A SIMILAR PATTERN AS TODAY. A STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA WITH WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING ALONG IT. AS THEY DO...THE SOUTHERN END OF THEIR ENERGY WILL IMPACT OUR REGION ALONG WITH DAYTIME HEATING. BY THE AFTERNOON WE ARE EXPECTING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE REGION WITH A GREATER CONCENTRATION ALONG THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. HIGHS TOMORROW WILL RANGE FROM THE LOW TO MID 80S IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... FORECAST AREA REMAINS ON THE EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES INTO SUNDAY...WITH A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES MOVG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY CLOSER TO THE AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD. SHOWERS/TSTMS SHOULD BE MAINLY DIURNAL FRIDAY...SO I HAVE CHC POPS THROUGH 200 AM SATURDAY...THEN MAINLY DRY REST OF THE NIGHT. HIGHEST POPS FRI EVENING IN THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT...AS WITH A SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL FLOW STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP IN THE MTNS/BLUE RIDGE AND MOVE EASTWARD LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SATURDAY HAS MORE OF A WEST LOW LEVEL FLOW...SO MODELS ARE HINTING AT LESS CONVECTION IN THE PIEDMONT...BUT WITH HIGH THETA-E VALUES/DEEP MOISTURE ACROSS THE CWA- NAM ACTUALLY SHOWING A RIBBON OF HIGH VALUES RIGHT ACROSS THE CWA AT 800 PM SATURDAY EVENING...THINK THAT TSTM ACTIVITY WILL SPREAD INTO THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT. THE WEST WIND IS NOT PARTICULARLY STRONG SATURDAY. COULD BE WIDESPREAD TSTMS SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. I HAVE MAINTAINED CHC POPS THRU THE NIGHT IN THE MTNS...AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS CLOSER TO THE AREA AND AN MCS MAY AFFECT THE MTNS OVERNIGHT. ON SUNDAY...A RATHER STRONG COLD FRONT FOR EARLY JUNE FINALLY MAKES A PUSH THROUGH THE AREA BY SUNDAY NIGHT. TWO ISSUES ON SUNDAY REMAIN A UNIFORM WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT HINDERING CONVECTION EAST OF THE MTNS...AND THE FRONT JUMPING INTO THE EASTERN LEE TROF AN CONVECTION EXITING THE AREA SOONER THAN FCST. FOR NOW...HAVE MAINTAINED THE HIGH CHC POPS ACROSS THE CWA FOR SUNDAY. THETA-E RIDGE AXIS REMAINS ACROSS THE CWA...AND WITH SUCH DEEP MOISTURE...THINK THAT THE WEST WINDS WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO HINDER TSTM DEVELOPMENT. AGAIN...STAYED CLOSER TO THE WARM SIDE OF MOS WITH LOWS IN THE MUGGY UPPER 50S INTO THE 60S AND HIGHS 80S MOUNTAINS TO LOW 90S SE THRU SUNDAY PROVIDED AT LEAST PERIODS OF SUN. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... MODELS STILL IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT ZONAL UPPER FLOW WILL TRANSITION TO A MORE AMPLIFIED PATTERN...WITH A 5H TROF ACROSS THE EAST NEXT WEEK. MAIN QUESTION IS STRENGTH OF EASTERN TROF...WITH THE 12Z GFS ANOMALOUSLY STRONG WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WED NIGHT...AND THE 00Z ECMWF SHOWING A MUCH WEAKER FRONT IN THE SAME TIME PERIOD. EITHER WAY IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL BE SEEING A FAIRLY STRONG COLD FRONT SUNDAY...AND DEPENDING ON TIMING MAY STILL HAVE LINGERING SHOWERS/TSTMS IN THE EVENING...SO HAVE KEPT SOME CHC POPS SUN EVE. OTHERWISE...THE FCST LOOKS FAIRLY DRY UNTIL WE START SEEING SOME RETURN FLOW MOISTURE AND WARM ADVECTION TUE NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF THE WED NIGHT COLD FRONT. HAVE RAISED POPS ABOVE GUIDANCE IN THE WED/WED NIGHT PERIOD...BUT STILL JUST CHC AT THIS POINT. HAVE KEPT TEMPS ABOVE GUIDANCE THRU THE EXTENDED...AS THEY LOOKED TOO COOL- ESPECIALLY HIGHS...FOR JUNE UNLESS WE HAVE CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS. I EXPECT HIGHS NEAR NORMAL MONDAY THRU THURSDAY...WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S MTNS AND LOWER TO MID 80S FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT. LOWS RANGING FROM THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S. && .AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA HAVE FORMED NEAR THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND POINTS WEST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. ANY DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN HEADING E-SE AROUND 10-15 KTS. EXPECTING COVERAGE TO INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY AFTER 21Z AS A DISTURBANCE SKIRTING THE NORTHERN PART OF THE AREA HELPS TO ADD EVEN MORE INSTABILITY TO THE REGION. MOST AREAS WILL REMAIN VFR...HOWEVER SOME OF THE HEAVIER SHRA/TSRA MAY YIELD SOME BRIEF...LOCALIZED MVFR CIGS AND MVFR/IFR VSBYS. OVERNIGHT...PRECIPITATION WILL WANE IN MOST AREAS BY 04-06Z LEAVING SOME SCT-BKN MID-HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME PATCHY MVFR FOG TO DEVELOP AND LAST THROUGH 12-13Z. FRIDAY MORNING WILL BRING A NEAR REPEAT OF THIS MORNING. VFR CONDITIONS RETURN EVERYWHERE BY 13-14Z...AND CUMULUS DEVELOP BEGINS BY 15-16Z. WE COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA AFTER 16Z...BUT AT THIS TIME CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE ANY PREVAILING WX AT ANY OF THE TERMINAL SITES. A SIMILAR WEATHER PATTERN CAN BE EXPECTED FOR FRIDAY... SATURDAY...AND SUNDAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY MORNING FOG...FOLLOWED BY A THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS EACH DAY. A MORE PRONOUNCED COLD FRONT SHOULD SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA LATE SUNDAY LEAVING THE GENERAL AREA FREE AND CLEAR OF PRECIPITATION FOR MONDAY. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...NONE.
