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.

Roanoke, VA (KRNK), launched 12:00Z, 11.1 hours before the alert went out and 194 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 Jun 30, 3:13 PM EDT, 3 hours 54 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 3:13 PM EDT, 3 hours 54 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
313 PM EDT SAT JUN 30 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
CONVECTION COVERAGE AND TIMING NOT AS CLEAR CUT AS YESTERDAY.
WEAK MID LEVEL DISTURBANCES MAY STILL TRIGGER OVERNIGHT CONVECTION
HEAT AND HUMIDITY PERSIST NEXT WEEK WITH LOW CHANCES OF CONVECTION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
NOT YOUR USUAL DAY ROUTINE HERE.  THANKS TO OUR NORTHERN NEIGHBOR AT
PITTSBURGH FOR HELPING US IN BACK UP.

CERTAINLY CAPE/INSTABILITY NOT AS HIGH AS FRIDAY.  WILL LEAVE THE
MARGINAL HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON...
AND POST A SMALLER ONE FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON...MAINLY FOR THE CRW-HTS
VCNTY ON WEST.

STILL THINK CONVECTION MAY FIRE ALONG THE INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR IN
INDIANA LATE THIS AFTERNOON...THEN MOVE FROM ABOUT 280 DEGREES
INTO OUR CENTRAL COUNTIES.  SO HAVE SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS FROM NEAR
JACKSON COUNTY OHIO ON EAST INTO CENTRAL WV AND LATER THAN YESTERDAY.

MOS POPS MOSTLY AOA 14 PERCENT ON SUNDAY...BUT WILL LEAVE OUR HIGHER
POPS OF 20 SOUTH TO 30 CENTRAL AND NORTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WITH NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUING ACROSS THE REGION...EXPECT TRAIN OF
CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES/UPPER LEVEL IMPULSES TO CONTINUE. TIMING AND
LOCATION OF EACH INDIVIDUAL COMPLEX IS VERY TOUGH. BLENDED TOWARDS
THE NAMDNG5...WHICH AT LEAST SHOWS SOME PROGRESSION OF INDIVIDUAL
SYSTEMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...BUT AGAIN...CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY
LOW IN SPECIFICS AT THIS POINT...AND FURTHER REFINEMENT WILL LIKELY
BE NEEDED AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK. WITH THE CENTRAL US RIDGE
STAYING IN PLACE...EXPECT TO SEE THE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES
CONTINUE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT LOOK TO BE AS
HOT AS PREVIOUS FEW DAYS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
COMMS ISSUES HERE AT RLX SO WILL KEEP EXTENDED SHORT.

UPPER RIDGE TO HOLD ON PLACE OVER CENTRAL CONUS WITH CWA STILL
POSSIBLE TO HANG ONTO 500MB FLOW...AND THUS DISTURBANCES ALOFT.
THEREFORE...PATTERN WILL LINGER FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE WITH HOT
WEATHER IN PLACE...BUT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS. CARRYING THE
BETTER CHANCES DURING THE DAYS BUT NOT ELIMINATING THEM AT NIGHT. NO
RELIEF IN SIGHT WITH THE TEMPERATURES HOLDING IN THE 90S FOR THE
LOWLANDS AND 80S IN THE MOUNTAINS.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
CONVECTION MAY STILL FIRE ALONG INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR ON SOUTH
LATE TODAY INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THINK THE CONVECTION COULD
BE A BIT LATER THAN 24 HOURS AGO...BUT CERTAINLY NOT THE SAME
SCENARIO.

HAVE SCATTERED TO BROKEN CUMULUS FORMING 3 TO 6 THSD FT AGL
AND VSBY MAY LOWER TO 5 MILES IN HAZE AFTER 00Z...AND OF COURSE...
AOB 3 MILES IN ANY CONVECTION.

HAVE VSBY 1 TO 3 MILES IN FOG 09Z TO 12Z SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY IN
VALLEY LOCATIONS.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: THE COVERAGE OF CONVECTION 00Z TO 06Z...
AND THE COVERAGE OF FOG DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS OF SUNDAY MAY
VARY.
