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.

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 May 10, 7:39 PM EDT, 4 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 10, 7:39 PM EDT, 4 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
739 PM EDT TUE MAY 10 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT SLOWLY MOVES EAST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
MIDWEEK...WITH UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG
IT...WEAKENING WEDNESDAY.  LOW PRESSURE LATE WEEK AND WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
7 PM UPDATE ...EMPHASIZED HAIL AND DE-EMPHASIZED WIND IN WEATHER
GRIDS WHERE SEVERE WATCHES IN EFFECT.  ALSO WET-BULBED EVENING
TEMPERATURES IN THE RAIN SW HALF OF FORECAST AREA.  FORECAST
OTHERWISE ON TRACK.

PREV DISCN...

IN GRADIENT EAST OF FRONT...DEW POINTS AND INSTABILITY INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.  THIS COMBINED WITH UPPER LEVEL
DYNAMICS KEEP THE THREAT OF STORM TSTMS INTO THE EVENING.  WINDS THE
PRIMARY ISSUE.  POPS LOWER TONIGHT AS SUNS ENERGY REMOVED.  SIMILAR
PATTERN SETS UP FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON EXCEPT THE PRESENCE OF
STRONG DYNAMICS WILL BE LESSENED.  AS A RESULT HAVE GONE WITH CHANCE
POPS THEN.  KEPT CLOSE TO GUIDANCE TEMPS RAISING MINS A BIT TONIGHT
WITH HIGH DEW POINTS AND CLOUD REMNANTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
QUASI-STATIONARY COLD FRONT REMAINS TO OUR SOUTHWEST AS WEAK WAVES
RIPPLE THROUGH BAROCLINIC ZONE THROUGH THE PERIOD. EXPECT SHOWER
DEVELOPMENT TO CONTINUE ALONG THE BOUNDARY...WITH DIURNAL
ENHANCEMENT. MODELS EACH HAVE THEIR OWN TAKE ON HOW THEY HANDLE
FRONT JUXTAPOSITION OF THE FRONT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
HOWEVER...WHETHER FRONT WAGGLES NORTH OR SOUTH NEAR OUR FORECAST
AREA WILL PRIMARILY BE DRIVEN BY MESOSCALE PROCESS WHICH MODELS
MAY NOT BE HANDLING ALL THAT WELL. SO..BEST FORECAST APPROACH WAS
TO KEEP CHC POPS TRENDING HIGHER DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH
HIGHER CHANCES IN VICINITY OF THE FRONT.

FOR TEMPS...USED RAW CONSENSUS MOS VALUES WITH A FEW TWEAKS...
WHICH RESULTED IN LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FCSTED VALUES. MAIN
TWEAKS WERE TO KEEP OVERNIGHT MINS ON THE WARM SIDE OF MOS
VALUES...DUE TO THE LACK OF RADIATIONAL COOLING...AS RAGGED
SKIES DURING THE MORNING HOURS SHOULD HELP KEEP MORNING LOWS FROM
DIPPING MUCH. THIS TREND WAS ALSO FEATURED IN THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST PACKAGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
OVERALL PATTERN SHOWS LITTLE CHANGE. HOWEVER...MODELS DO PUSH
FRONTAL BOUNDARY EAST OF THE AREA BY SATURDAY MORNING AS AN AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE WORKS ITS WAY TO THE EAST. THE ECMWF CONTS TO BE
THE SLOWER OF THE MODELS IN PUSHING LOW PRESSURE AREA TO THE
EAST...AND BASED ON THE STAGNANT NATURE OF THE WX PATTERN...THE
MODEL OF CHOICE IS THE ECMWF IN HOW IT HANDLES OVERALL SYNOPTIC
PATTERN. USED HPC VALUES WITH MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO POPULATE
GRIDDED FCST.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
IFR OR WORSE IN HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS SW HALF OF THE
AREA...DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT.  POST-RAIN FOG...POSSIBLY DOWN TO IFR
OR WORSE OVERNIGHT THIS AREA.  NE HALF OF AREA WILL BE VFR THROUGH
THE NIGHT FOR THE MOST PART...THOUGH NOT WITHOUT ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS EVEN THERE.

ONCE THE MORNING FOG IS GONE...WED WILL BE VFR UNTIL THUNDERSTORMS
FIRE UP...WHICH COULD OCCUR BY MIDDAY.  WHILE LESS ORGANIZED
WED...ANY THUNDERSTORM THAT DOES FLARE UP WILL EASILY BECOME QUITE
HEAVY AS WELL AS SLOW MOVING.

SURFACE FLOW WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE...MAINLY S...BUT GUSTY AND
VARIABLE IN THUNDERSTORMS.  FLOW ALOFT WILL BE LIGHT AND MAINLY FROM
THE W.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING AND LOCATION OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS COULD VARY...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA
AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA.  OVERNIGHT POST-RAIN FOG COULD BE MORE
INTENSE AND WIDESPREAD THAN FORECAST.

EXPERIMENTAL TABLE OF FLIGHT CATEGORY OBJECTIVELY SHOWS CONSISTENCY
OF WFO FORECAST TO AVAILABLE MODEL INFORMATION:
H = HIGH:   TAF CONSISTENT WITH ALL MODELS OR ALL BUT ONE MODEL.
M = MEDIUM: TAF HAS VARYING LEVEL OF CONSISTENCY WITH MODELS.
L = LOW:    TAF INCONSISTENT WITH ALL MODELS OR ALL BUT ONE MODEL.
