What was reported inside it
| Time | Report | Where | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 19, 9:18 PM EDT | FLOOD | Mineral Wells, WV | STREAMS OVER ROADS OR BRIDGES. |
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 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
Pittsburgh, PA (KPIT), launched 00:00Z, 1.0 hours before the alert went out and 186 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.

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING FRONT WILL SHIFT NORTHEAST TONIGHT...LEAVING THE AREA IN
THE WARM SECTOR THROUGH EARLY WEEK. A COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH
THE AREA AROUND THURSDAY

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
ADDED WIRT AND WOOD TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH.
5H JET STREAK EVIDENT ACROSS CENTRAL KY...AND INTO SRN WV IN
RESPONSE TO SHORTWAVE PUSHING EAST FROM CENTRAL IN AND OH BORDER.
DIVERGENT FLOW ALOFT...COMBINED WITH LOW LEVEL FORCING HAS ALLOWED
AN EAST-WEST ORIENTED BAND OF SHOWERS TO DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHERN
WV...WITH OTHER SHOWERS ACROSS SE OH INVOF AIR MASS WITH WETTER
ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN.
AS THE EVENING PROGRESS...SHORT TERM MODELS DEPICT THIS SYSTEM
BECOMING BETTER ORGANIZED OVER CENTRAL AND NRN WEST

THIS LOOKS TO BE THE BRIEF BREAK IN THE RATHER PERSISTENT
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES...ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE
WESTERLIES CURRENTLY ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. MODELS IN DECENT
AGREEMENT ON BUILDING UPPER RIDGE LATER MONDAY AND TUESDAY...AHEAD
OF A SIGNIFICANT UPPER TROUGH AND COLD FRONT TO AFFECT OUR AREA JUST
AFTER THIS PERIOD. THE LAST OF A SERIES OF THUNDERSTORMS COMPLEXES
WILL LIKELY MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS OUR AREA EARLY MONDAY EVENING
BEFORE WARMING ALOFT WITH BUILDING HEIGHTS TAKES OVER. BY
TUESDAY...EXPECT A WARMER AND VERY MUGGY DAY. OF SOME CONCERN IS
THAT SOME MODELS DEVELOP A DEEP LAYER OF MOISTURE...AND
CONVECTION...WELL AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM ON TUESDAY WHICH WOULD
ACTUALLY BE UNDER THE BUILDING RIDGE ALOFT. WILL NOT BUY THIS AT
TIME...AND KEEP CONVECTION CHANCES AT A MINIMUM. TEMPS WILL LIKELY
RISE ABOVE 90 LOWLANDS. TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BE A WARM AND MUGGY NIGHT
AS THE RIDGE ONLY SLOWLY BEGINS TO GIVE WAY LATER AT NIGHT. WILL
ONLY INTRODUCE LOW POPS FAR NORTHWEST BY WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE
NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
APEX OF RIDGE SHIFTS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA BY

/AHEAD OF CENTRAL PLAINS UPPER LOW WHICH OPENS TO UPPER TROUGH AS IT
ENTERS WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION/. WAVES WITHIN THAT SOUTHWEST
FLOW...AND EASY ACCESS TO WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE...SPELL A
HUMID AND BUSY LOOKING CONVECTION PATTERN WEDNESDAY THROUGH
AT LEAST EARLY FRIDAY. PLACED POPS INTO 40S RANGE...AS PER HPC...FOR
NOW UNTIL INDIVIDUAL FEATURES CAN BE BETTER RESOLVED.
