The radar

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 severe thunderstorm 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, 8.5 hours before the alert went out and 195 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.

What forecasters said that day

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

NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 25, 3:40 PM EDT, 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 25, 3:40 PM EDT, 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
340 PM EDT MON APR 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
WARM AIR MASS INTO WEDNESDAY. INSTABILITY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. COLD FRONT PASSES WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
COOLER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
STILL THINKING SOME INSTABILITY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL FORM
IN THE AFTERNOON HEAT. COULD FORM OVER THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS
FIRST...BEFORE ANY REMAINS...OR NEW DEVELOPMENT OCCURS IN OHIO AND
EASTERN KENTUCKY...AS WEAK 500 MB VORT MAX LIFTS THROUGH SE OHIO
AROUND 21Z.  VERY LITTLE MID LEVEL SUPPORT FURTHER E AS 500 MB
HEIGHTS DO NOT FALL THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY.

TIMING THE HOURLY POPS VERY DIFFICULT.

COULD NOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT OUR CENTRAL WV COUNTIES...SO
INCREASED POPS FOR LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.

DESPITE THE LOW LEVEL FLOW OVERNIGHT...MOIST LOW LEVELS COULD CAUSE
SOME FOG IN THE SHELTERED WV VALLEYS....WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY THICK
FOG YET.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WE REMAIN IN THE WARM SECTOR FOR THE FIRST PORTION OF THIS
PERIOD...BUT EVOLUTION OF INDIVIDUAL SHORTWAVE SYSTEMS REMAINS IN
DOUBT.  FOR INSTANCE...NAM FOCUSES HEAVY RAINS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS
TUESDAY NIGHT...AIDED A BIT BY LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW...WHILE THE
GFS/ECMWF KEEPS THE STRONGER ACTIVITY CLOSER TO STALLED OUT FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WEST OF CWA.  THIS LATTER SCENARIO SEEMS MORE REASONABLE.

HAVE EARLY LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST COUNTIES WITH VORT MAX
DEPARTING OUT OF CWA...AND THEN HAVE LIKELY REDEVELOPING WEST OF THE
OHIO RIVER FOLLOWING THE GFS/ECMWF IDEA.  SEVERE CHANCES MAY LINGER
FOR AN HOUR OR TWO INTO THE EVENING...WITH DECENTLY CURVED LOW LEVEL
FLOW...BEFORE LOSS OF HEATING ENDS THE THREAT.  CANNOT GO TOTALLY
DRY AT ANY TIME...GIVEN THE MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE AND POTENTIAL
LEFTOVER BOUNDARIES.

WEDNESDAY PRESENT MORE OF A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.  POTENT SHORTWAVE WILL BE ROTATING
NORTHEAST FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY ACROSS THE CWA BETWEEN 00Z
THURSDAY AND 12Z THURSDAY.  THIS IS THE DISTURBANCE THAT WILL
FINALLY KICK THE PERSISTENT FRONT EAST OF THE CWA.  KEPT HIGHER POPS
WEST OF THE OHIO RIVER ONCE AGAIN DURING MOST OF WEDNESDAY IN THE
MORE PWAT-LADEN AIRMASS.  KEEP IDEA OF SWINGING CATEGORICAL POPS
ACROSS THE CWA ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY WILL BE
DIURNALLY DECREASING DURING THE EVENING...STORMS WILL BE MOVING INTO
RELATIVELY UNTAPPED MOIST AIRMASS. PLENTY OF DYNAMICS TO SUPPORT
CONVECTION WELL INTO THE NIGHT.  60-70 KNOTS OF SOUTHERLY H850 FLOW
WILL BE PART OF DECENT WIND TURNING IN LOWER/MID LEVELS WHICH COULD
SUPPORT ROTATING STORMS.  BIGGEST THREAT WILL BE ACROSS THE WESTERN
COUNTIES WHERE CONVECTION ARRIVES FIRST.  FROPA OCCURS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT CWA WIDE.  H500 TROUGH THEN OVERSPREADS AREA WITH A COOLER
AIRMASS.  MODEST WRAPAROUND MOISTURE BEHIND THE FRONT...WILL KEEP
SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST.

DID NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM MAV TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
USED A BLEND OF THE ECMWF...GEFS MEAN...ECMWF...AND ECMWF MEAN FOR
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. FOR MONDAY...ELIMINATED THE ECMWF DUE
TO IT BEING MORE OF AN OUTLIER. THIS LEADS TO A COLD WRAP AROUND
SITUATION ON FRIDAY...GIVING WAY TO HIGH PRESSURE FOR SATURDAY.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES INCREASE ON SUNDAY...WITH A COLD FRONT PUSHING
THROUGH ON MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
DIMINISHED CLOUD COVER FOR MUCH OF THE AREA...COMBINED WITH LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE FROM RECENT RAINS...YIELDED FOG IN SEVERAL VALLEYS
EARLY THIS MORNING...WHICH WILL QUICKLY IMPROVE 12Z-13Z.
OTHERWISE...LOOKING AT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TAF PERIOD...BUT
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AND ASSOCIATED MVFR/BRIEF IFR WILL LIKELY
DEVELOP ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING.
GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED IN VICINITY OF THE STORMS.
AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS COULD ALSO SKIM A PORTION OF SOUTHEAST OHIO.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: SOME UNCERTAINTY FOR PLACEMENT OF SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON...AS COVERAGE WILL BE LIMITED BY
