The radar

The Charleston,WV radar (KRLX), 66 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 19:11 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 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

Pittsburgh, PA (KPIT), launched 12:00Z, 7.2 hours before the alert went out and 206 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.

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 Sep 26, 1:25 PM EDT, 1 hour 46 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 26, 1:25 PM EDT, 1 hour 46 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
125 PM EDT MON SEP 26 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT PUSHES EAST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW WHICH HAS BEEN LOCATED TO OUR WEST FOR SEVERAL DAYS WILL
DRIFT EAST BY EARLY THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN WITH A COLD FRONT CURVING ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN OHIO TO
NORTHERN LA. AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS LOCATED
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

THE FRONT WILL PUSH SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE REGION...AND SHOULD
FINALLY EXIT THE AREA BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  MODELS CONTINUE TO
INDICATE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL APPROACH 2 INCHES JUST
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WITH THE SLOW MOVING NATURE OF THE FRONT...
EXPECT REPETITIVE SHOWERS AND STORMS TO MOVE OVER THE SAME AREAS
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

IN GENERAL...AMOUNTS OF 0.50 TO 1 INCH ARE POSSIBLE...WITH HIGHER
AMOUNTS IN AREAS WHERE THE SEVERAL STORMS PASS OVER. TOUGH TO
DECIDE WHERE THE HEAVIER STORMS MAY PASS...SO HAVE NOT GONE WITH
ANY FLOOD PRODUCTS.

INSTABILITY IS STILL FORECASTED TO DISAPPEAR WITH LOSS OF HEATING
LATER TONIGHT.

REGION SHOULD ONCE AGAIN BE IN A DRY SLOT ON TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT
ACROSS THE LOWLAND COUNTIES...WITH SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS
EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS.

LATEST GUIDANCE IS CLOSE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST NUMBERS...SO ONLY
MADE SOME MINOR TWEAKS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
OCCLUDED/COOL FRONT...WITHOUT A NOTICEABLE AIRMASS
CHANGE...SHOULD CLEAR THE NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS TUESDAY...AND TAKE
THE HIGH END CHANCE/LIKELY POPS WITH IT BY AFTERNOON. MODELS
DEPICT A NICELY DEFINED SPIRAL OF MOISTURE IN THE MID AND UPPER
LEVELS ORIGINATING FROM THE CENTRAL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
MAINTAINING A NEARLY STATIONARY WOBBLE NEAR THE SOUTHERN END OF
LAKE MICHIGAN. THE BULK OF THE CWA WILL END UP IN A DRY SLOT AGAIN
FOR TUESDAY RESULTING IN A MAINLY DRY FORECAST OUTSIDE OF THE
EARLY POPS EXITING THE NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS. THE NEXT BAND OF
DEEPER MOISTURE WILL PUSH INTO THE TRI STATE AREA TUESDAY
NIGHT...BUT AS IT DOES...WILL BEGIN TO LOSE SOME OF THE DEPTH
ALOFT...NOTABLY IN THE 700-500MB LAYER. DESPITE THE SHRINKING
MOISTURE DEPTH...A WEAK VORT MAX EMBEDDED IN THE 500MB FLOW MAY
INDUCE ENOUGH RISING MOTION TO KICK OFF ISOLATED SHOWERS. ALL IN
ALL...FROM TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...ANY FORCING
FEATURES WILL LIKELY BE ON THE WEAK SIDE...BUT GIVEN THE SYNOPTIC
SET UP...AN ISOLATED SHOWER CANNOT BE COMPLETELY DISCOUNTED. IT
WILL TAKE A DEEPENING TROUGH ALOFT IN THE UPPER MIDWEST WEDNESDAY
NIGHT TO FINALLY SET THIS CLOSED LOW INTO MOTION AND FINALLY TO
OUR NORTHEAST...JUST BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ECMWF-BASED FORECAST WAS USED FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD...AS IT HAS
BEEN A BIT MORE CONSISTENT THE PAST FEW RUNS.  GFS IS A BIT TOO
QUICK IN KICKING OUT THE INITIAL GREAT LAKES UPPER LOW.  AFTER THIS
SYSTEM DEPARTS...EASTERN TROUGH GETS REINFORCED BY SHORTWAVE
DROPPING DOWN FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST BY FRIDAY.  THIS WILL LEAD TO A
GOOD SHOT OF AUTUMN AIR FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

HAVE CHANCE POPS FOR SHRA ASSOCIATED WITH DEPARTING UPPER LOW ON
THURSDAY...AND REINFORCING SHORT WAVE ON FRIDAY.  SLIGHTLY BETTER
CHANCES ACROSS THE NORTH AND THE MOUNTAINS WITH NW FLOW AND BETTER
PROXIMITY TO SHORTWAVES.  TROUGH DEEPENS BY FRIDAY
NIGHT/SATURDAY...BUT MOST OF THE MOISTURE DEPARTS AND HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN AT THE SURFACE.  THUS HAVE A DRY FORECAST FROM FRIDAY
NIGHT ON.  SEASONAL TEMPERATURES THURSDAY TO BE REPLACED BY BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR NEXT WEEKEND. DID RAISE SATURDAY/SUNDAY MAX
VALUES FROM HPC SUGGESTIONS BY A FEW DEGREES BUT STILL MOSTLY STILL
BELOW MEX/ENSEMBLE NUMBERS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL UNDER HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS SPREADING EAST
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. THESE CLOUDS WILL SLOWLY LOWER AND THICKEN
UNTIL EXPECTED COLD FRONT REACHES SOUTHEAST OH FROM 23-01Z.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHEAST
OHIO AND NORTHEAST KY AS WELL AS WESTERN WEST VIRGINIA...WITH
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 21Z.

THE AREA OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL
SPREAD EAST ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA THROUGH 06Z.

EXPECT CONDITIONS WILL THEN IMPROVE A FEW HOURS AFTER FROPA...WITH
MVFR/VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION AFT 12Z.
