The radar

The Roanoke radar (KFCX), 129 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:17 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

Roanoke, VA (KRNK), launched 12:00Z, 9.3 hours before the alert went out and 115 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.

Skew-T log-p

Temperature in red, dew point in green, the mixed-layer parcel dashed.

Area forecast discussion, May 26, 2:55 PM EDT, 2 hours 21 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
255 PM EDT THU MAY 26 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM INCREASES THE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH FRIDAY. TRANSITION TO A DRIER AND HOTTER
PATTERN OVER THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MODELS GENERALLY AGREE THAT 5H TROUGH WILL OPEN AND SWING TO THE
EAST TONIGHT...WITH WEAKENING SFC FRONT SLOWING AS IT CROSSES THE
OH VALLEY INTO THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS OF WV. FOR REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON...BATCH OF PRECIP OVER EASTERN KY...AND SOUTHEAST OH
WILL CONT TO SHIFT NE IN ASSOCIATION WITH MID LEVEL S/W PUSHING
OUT AHEAD OF MAIN FRONT. SKIES CLEARED ENOUGH OVER CENTRAL AND
EASTERN MTNS TO ALLOW DECENT CU FIELD TO DEVELOP.

STEEPER LAPSE RATES AND DECENT SHEAR ENVIRONMENT COULD ALLOW SOME
STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE INTO THE EVENING HOURS. FOR THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...EXPECT LINE OF SHOWERS THAT ARE CURRENTLY FORMING UP OVER
CENTRAL KY TO MAKE PASSAGE AS ANOTHER QLCS IN A SIMILAR FASHION
TO PREVIOUS NIGHTS SYSTEM...ALBEIT IN A MUCH WEAKENED STATE. KEPT
HIGHER POPS...WITH A GRADUAL DOWNTREND IN POPS TOWARDS THE MORNING
HOURS. GENERALLY USED RAW VALUES FROM CONSENSUS MOS TO POPULATE
TEMPS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
UPPER TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS EAST TAKING THE LAST OF THE RAIN CHANCES
WITH IT FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEKEND. 500MB HEIGHTS WILL BEGIN A
STRONG RECOVERY IN AN OVERHAUL TO THE LONG WAVE PATTERN THAT WILL BE
CHARACTERIZED BY A DIGGING TROUGH OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND A
BUILDING RIDGE EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI. LATEST MODELS RUNS HAVE
EASED UP EVER SO SLIGHTLY ON THE 500MB HEIGHTS. STILL LOOKING AT
WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE SHORT TERM. WILL SEE A WARM
FRONT SNEAK IN FROM THE WEST NORTH OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY...AND THE
SURFACE FLOW VEERING SOUTHWEST. THIS WILL BE MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF
A MID TO LATE SUMMER TYPE PATTERN THAN LATE SPRING.
&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WENT WITH CONSENSUS OF THE MODELS...WHICH ALSO GENERALLY FOLLOWS
THE HPC THINKING.

HIGH PRESSURE...SURFACE AND ALOFT...WILL RESULT IN HOT DAYS MONDAY
AND TUESDAY.  STILL NOT TOTALLY SURE THAT A FEW AFTERNOON AND
EVENINGS STORMS MIGHT NOT DEVELOP.  BUT MY CONFIDENCE IS BELOW 20
PERCENT...SO WILL LEAVE OUT FOR NOW.

COLD FRONT SHOULD PUSH SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY.
HOWEVER...HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT SHOULD REMAIN IN CONTROL.  CONTINUED
EARLIER FORECAST TREND OF SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ALONG AND NEAR THE
FRONT.

ON THURSDAY...MODELS INDICATE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL DEVELOP
ALOFT...WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN AT THE SURFACE.  WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED IF SOME CONVECTION DEVELOPS AND TRIES TO MOVE INTO THE
REGION.  HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IS LOW AND WILL LEAVE AREA DRY FOR NOW.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
APPROACHING FRONT BRINING ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS WILL
OVERSPREAD SITES IN A MAINLY SW TO NORTHEAST FASHION WITH
LOCALIZED IFR CONDITIONS. TIMING TIMING/COVERAGE OF STORMS
BECOMES TRICKIER WITH TIME AS IT HEAVILY DEPENDS ON MESOSCALE
INFLUENCES. FOR THE OVERNIGHT TIME PERIOD...WEAKENING FRONT TO
MAKE PASSAGE.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING OF THUNDERSTORMS COULD VARY. CIGS AND
VISBY MAY BE LOWER THAN FCST.
