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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
615 PM EST FRI MAR 2 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH COLD FRONT LATE FRIDAY...SOME STORMS
COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE. COOLER WEATHER ESTABLISHES FOR THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING WARM FRONT
AND MOISTURE PUNCH HAVE BEEN ONGOING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA SINCE
MID MORNING. WRFNMM...HRRR...AND CURRENT RADAR HAVE SOME SMALL
TIMING DIFFERENCES...HOWEVER ALL AGREE THAT THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN
THE SHOWERS AND STORMS FOLLOWING THE WARM FRONT...PRIOR TO THE COLD
FRONT ARRIVING LATER THIS EVENING. RECENT RUC BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW
JUST OVER 500J/KG CAPE IN EASTERN KY/WESTERN WV AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT LATER THIS EVENING...SO STILL THINKING STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WITH THE TIME OF DAY THE
STORMS ARE EXPECTED...WE MAY SEE DECREASING THERMODYNAMICS AS THE
STORMS MOVE INTO CENTRAL WV. HOWEVER WITH PLENTY OF SHEAR AND
DYNAMIC LIFT FROM THE FRONT...STORMS SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT
DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL...AND POSSIBLY AN ISOLATED TORNADO.
COLD FRONT PASSAGE EXPECTED FROM FROM NW TO SE AROUND 03-06Z
TONIGHT. PRECIP CHANCES DECREASE QUICKLY AFTER THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH.
NOT A REAL STRONG COLD PUNCH IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FRONT...AND WITH
SOME GUSTY WINDS HANGING AROUND...WILL REMAINED WELL MIXED SO TEMPS
SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY STEADY MOST OF THE NIGHT WITH A GRADUALLY
DECREASE THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. TRENDED TOWARDS THE MET
AND THEN MADE SOME MINOR TWEAKS TO HOLD THE TEMPS STEADIER AT FIRST.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT/...
CAA REGIME SETTING UP FOR THE WEEKEND. SAT SHOULD SEE SUN EARLY
BEFORE STRONGER CAA LATE IN THE DAY ALLOWS FOR STRATOCU AND CU TO
DEVELOP AS UPR TROF PIVOTS IN. DESPITE H85 TEMPS -2 TO -6....THINK
ENOUGH MIXING WILL OCCUR FOR THE WARMER NUMBERS OFF GUIDANCE TO
BECOME REALIZED. FLOW COMES MORE CONDUCIVE FOR UPSLOPE SUN INTO SUN
NIGHT AS UPR TROF AXIS SWINGS THRU. INHERITED SNOW/POP GRIDS
GENERALLY LOOKED GOOD AND ONLY NEEDED SOME FINESSING. ALLOWED FOR A
HIGH THRESHOLD FOR RAIN/SNOW DURING DAY SUN BASED ON TEMPS ALOFT.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THIS PERIOD WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY AN EXITING UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING IN TUE...FOLLOWED BY THE
POSSIBILITY OF A COLD FRONT IN THE AREA LATE IN THE PERIOD.
EXTENDED MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT MON EVE-WED...DEPICTING
THE EXITING SHORTWAVE WHICH WILL AFFECT OUR AREA SUN-EARLY MON
FOLLOWED BY UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN CONUS TUE-WED.
THOUGH TUE MORNING WILL BE RATHER COLD...THE PERIOD WILL BE DRY WITH
A WARMING TREND BEGINNING TUE AFTERNOON. BY LATE WED MODEL OUTPUT
BEGINS TO DIFFER WITH RESPECT TO THE SPEED OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
DIGGING SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL U.S. AND ITS
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. THE GFS DEPICTS A MUCH QUICKER PROGRESSION
WITH COLD FRONT ABOUT OVER OUR FORECAST AREA BY 06Z-12Z THU WITH
NICE WEATHER FRI...WHILE THE EC SHOWS A MUCH SLOWER PROGRESSION WITH
THE COLD FRONT OVER THE AREA FRIDAY. GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN AND ITS
MEMBERS...AND TO A LESSER EXTENT THE CANADIAN...IN MUCH BETTER
AGREEMENT WITH SLOWER SOLUTION AND WILL THUS LEAN THE FORECAST FOR
THIS TIME FRAME TOWARDS THE EC WITH THURSDAY HAVING AN INCREASE IN
HIGH CIRRUS WITH THE NEXT SHOT A SHOWERS COMING ON FRIDAY WITH THE
FRONT.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING ACROSS FORECAST AREA. THESE ARE
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL COME THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING...
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. STRONG GUSTY
WINDS AND HAIL SHOULD BE THE MAIN THREAT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD DIMINISH PRETTY RAPIDLY AFTER THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.
THE ENTIRE REGION SHOULD BE PRECIPITATION-FREE BY 09Z.
OUTSIDE OF THE PRECIPITATION...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD BE COMMON.
HOWEVER...MVFR OR EVEN IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE THUNDERSTORMS,
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED...WITH THE
