The Roanoke radar (KFCX), 104 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:11 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, 10.1 hours before the alert went out and 61 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, Aug 24, 3:25 PM EDT, 2 hours 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
325 PM EDT TUE AUG 24 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG UPPER LOW WILL PLAGUE THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT. A COLD
FRONT ENTERING THE OHIO VALLEY WILL PUSH THE SYSTEM TO THE COAST
BY LATE WEDNESDAY. THIS COLD FRONT CROSSES THE CAROLINAS BY
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. A LARGE COOL AND DRY AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
COVERS THE EASTERN UNITED STATES INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE UPPER LOW CENTER CONTINUES TO DROP SOUTHWARD ACROSS OUR
REGION. NORTHEAST TO EAST FLOW WILL TRANSPORT ATLANTIC MOISTURE
INTO OUR CWA. THIS WILL ALLOW SOME OF THE STORMS TO CONTAIN
HEAVY RAINS. ANY TRAINING OF SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS WITH
HEAVY RAIN OVER SATURATED GROUNDS COULD RESULT IN LOCALIZED FLOODING
PROBLEMS. LEANED POPS TONIGHT TOWARDS THE WRFARW-RNK BLENDED WITH
CONTINUITY AND ENHANCED ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS DUE TO
EASTERLY FLOW. OUR AREA WILL REMAIN IN WEAK FLOW BETWEEN THE
OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MIDWEST TONIGHT.
SHOWERS SHOULD GRADUALLY TAPER OFF...BUT WITH CONTINUED WEAK
UPSLOPE FLOW CHCY POPS MAY LINGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT. PLAYED LOW
TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO ADJMET WITH READINGS FROM THE UPPER 50S IN THE
NORTHWEST TO THE MID 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST.

STACKED CLOSED UPPER LOW OPENS UP AND MOVES EASTWARD ON
WEDNESDAY...WITH AN UPPER DISTURBANCE SCRAPING THE EASTERN CWA
WEDNESDAY MORNING. KEPT THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE EAST ON WEDNESDAY.
MOISTURE/CLOUDS IN THE NORTHEAST AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF CWA MAY
NOT BREAK UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY...WHICH COULD HOLD TEMPERATURES
DOWN. SFC FLOW BECOMES WESTERLY BY LATE WEDNESDAY...AS A COLD
FRONT ENTERS THE OHIO VALLEY. WENT WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES
WEDNESDAY FROM THE UPPER 70S IN THE WEST TO THE MID 70S IN THE
SOUTHEAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
RELATIVELY STRONG SHORT WAVE TROF WILL DRIVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES AND INTO NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY...DRIVING A COOL FRONT SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE WESTERN
PORTION OF THE BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA BEFORE DAYBREAK
THURSDAY...AND CONTINUING EAST AND SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA BEFORE
NOON ON THURSDAY. WEST TO NORTHWESTERLY LOWER TROPOSPHERIC FLOW
PRECEDING THE ARRIVAL OF THE FRONT...COUPLED WITH A RELATIVELY DRY
ATMOSPHERE AND LACK OF THERMODYNAMIC SUPPORT DURING THE DIURNAL
TEMPERATURE MINIMUM SHOULD ASSURE THAT THE FRONT PASSES WITH LITTLE
OR NO APPRECIABLE PRECIPITATION WITH PERHAPS EXCEPTION OF WESTERN
UPSLOPE AREAS. OTHERWISE...EXPECT TO SEE CLEARING SKIES THROUGH THE
SHORT TERM PERIOD WITH SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF DEW POINT
TEMPERATURES AS STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION
FOLLOWING PASSAGE OF THE SHORT WAVE TROF.

MOS TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE FAIRLY CLOSE FOR LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND
GENERALLY ACCEPTED WITH ONLY A FEW TWEAKS MADE TO REFLECT LOCAL
CLIMATOLOGY. HOWEVER...CONSIDERING THE EXTENT OF POST-FRONTAL COOL
ADVECTION AND LOWERING OF DEW POINTS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...TRENDED
TOWARD SLIGHTLY COOLER METMOS FOR AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE. WENT WITH MORE OF A BLEND OF MET/MAVMOS FOR PIEDMONT
AREAS... WHERE DOWNSLOPING AND COMPRESSIONAL HEATING WILL OFFSET
CONTRIBUTION OF COOL AIR ADVECTION...AT LEAST TO A SLIGHT
DEGREE...DURING THE DAYTIME PERIODS...BUT WITH A GOOD DIURNAL
TEMPERATURE CURVE EXPECTED AT NIGHT DUE TO GOOD RADIATIVE COOLING
CONDITIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED
OVER THE MID APPALACHIAN AND MID ATLANTIC REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD
AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS EAST INTO...AND THEN OVER THE AREA. THESE
SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN DRY WEATHER OVER THE BLACKSBURG
FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD ALONG WITH A SLOW
INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE BACK TO WELL ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS BY THE
LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK...LIKELY PERSISTING THROUGH THE END OF THE
MONTH.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS THE UPPER LOW DROPS SOUTH INTO OUR REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS OUR CWA. SOME OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTAIN
HEAVY RAINS. THE EASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL TRANSPORT
PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE FORECAST AREA. MVFR CONDITIONS
WITH AREAS OF IFR/LIFR IN CLOUDS...FOG AND CONVECTION. THE BEST
CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE
MOUNTAINS AT LYH...ROA AND DAN AIRPORTS.

THE UPPER LOW CENTER SHIFTS EASTWARD ON WEDNESDAY ALLOWING A
MORE WESTERLY TRAJECTORY TO DEVELOP DURING THE DAY. CONDITIONS WILL
SLOWLY IMPROVE BACK TO VFR FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE DAY.

A DRY COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THROUGH THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. ONCE THIS FRONT GOES THROUGH A LARGE HIGH WILL KEEP THE
WEATHER VFR THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEKEND.
