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 00:00Z, 5.7 hours before the alert went out and 139 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.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 28, 1:30 AM EDT, 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
130 AM EDT THU APR 28 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW OF AIR WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION THIS
EVENING AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST.
THIS SLOW MOVING FRONT WILL CROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION LATE
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. COOLER HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
UPDATE SENT TO INCLUDE A NEW TOR WATCH...NUMBER 247 FOR THE ENTIRE
CWA GIVEN ONGOING STORMS AND PERHAPS ANOTHER BROKEN BAND TO THE
WEST. ENVIRONMENT STILL LOOKS GOOD FOR ROTATING STORMS EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE ALTHOUGH LATE NIGHT TIMING MAY PRECLUDE WIDESPREAD
ADDED SVR DESPITE CONTINUED GOOD INSTABILITY ATTM.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW...
WIND ADVISORY NOW EXPIRED FOR THE FOUR COUNTIES OF SW VA. WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE GUSTY IN THIS AREA...BUT THE RESULT OF
CONVECTIVE WINDS FROM SHOWERS AND STORMS...AND EVNETUALLY THE
INCREASING GRADIENT WIND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. HOWEVER...THE
850 MB WINDS WILL BE WEAKER AND NOT AN OPTIMAL RIDGE TOP CROSSING
ANGLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL ADVISORY POST FRONT. HAVE ALSO ADJUSTED
LATEST TEMP...DEW POINT...POP AND WX GRIDS BASED UPON LATEST
SURFACE AND RADAR OBSERVATIONS AND ANTICIPATED TRENDS OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
PRESSURE RISES BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE STRONG WITH
BREEZY AND GUSTY CONDITIONS. SATURATED GROUND AND GUSTY POST-
FRONTAL WINDS COULD DOWN TREES/POWER LINES FROM NON-THUNDERSTORM
WINDS.
TEMPERATURES AGAIN WILL BE MUGGY UNTIL THE FRONT PASSES TO THE EAST
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. SEASONAL TEMPERATURES AND DRIER CONDITION
EXPECTED THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LONG WAVE TROF MOVES EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY LATE FRIDAY. HAVE
DEEP NORTHWEST FLOW ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AND ENOUGH LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE TO KEEP A CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE WESTERN UPSLOPE
AREAS THROUGH FRIDAY.
500 MB HEIGHTS START RISING ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. AT THE
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED OVER VIRGINIA AND NORTH
CAROLINA BY SATURDAY MORNING.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
UPPER RODGE CONTINUES INTO THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES ON SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY WITH DEEP SOUTHWEST WINDS DEVELOPING BY MONDAY.
MODELS ARE DIFFERENT WITH THE TIMING AND INTENSITY OF THE NEXT
APPROACHING TROF WITH THE OPERATIONAL ECMWF SHOWING A CLOSED 500MB
LOW AND THE OPERATIONAL GFS BEING FASTER THAN MOST OF THE OTHER
GUIDANCE. HPC GUIDANCE IS A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE TWO AND HAVE
WEIGHTED HEAVILY TOWARD HPC GRIDS FOR THE EXTENDED.
THIS PUTS THE BEST PROBABILITY ON RAIN ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.
WILL KEEP WEDNESDAY BEHIND THE FRONT DRY.
&&
.AVIATION /05Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
BROKEN AREA OF SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST THRU
DAYBREAK WITH STRONG WINDS...HVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE HAIL ACROSS
THE SE WVA SITES THROUGH 3 AM. THIS LINE WILL SHIFT EAST TO AROUND
KROA AROUND 4 AM AND THEN INTO THE EASTERN LOCATIONS PRIOR TO
DAYBREAK. THEREFORE WILL KEEP POOR FLYING CONDITIONS IN PLACE WITH
MVFR TO IFR CIGS AND PERIODIC LOW VSBYS IN ANY HEAVIER CONVECTION.
THE LINE OF SHRA/TSRA MAY NOT EXIT THE EAST UNTIL MID MORNING THU
FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO
FRIDAY. HOWEVER WITH THE PARENT UPPER TROUGH STILL
OVERHEAD...LOOKING AT VFR CONDITIONS WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
STEEP LAPSE RATE SHOWERS. HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGHER HEIGHTS SHOULD
FINALLY ENSURE OVERALL VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
AN AREA OF MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS WILL ACCOMPANY A COLD FRONT THAT
WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING. ISOLATED...HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO
ACCOMPANY THE FRONT. THERE IS A CONCERN THAT QUICK BURSTS OF VERY
HEAVY RAIN FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS MAY PROMPT FLASH FLOODING. THE
CONCERN IS EVEN HIGHER WHERE MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORMS TRACK OVER THE
SAME AREA IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
