Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
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
Pittsburgh, PA (KPIT), launched 12:00Z, 11.0 hours before the alert went out and 134 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, Jul 10, 2:13 PM EDT, 4 hours 44 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
213 PM EDT WED JUL 10 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
APPROACHING COLD FRONT BRINGS MORE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS/STORMS INTO
THURSDAY. FLASH FLOOD CONCERNS CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT. DRIER FOR
THE END OF THE WEEK/WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
CURRENTLY HAVE A LULL ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE
CWA...SANDWICHED BETWEEN VORT MAX-INDUCED CONVECTION TO THE
EAST...AND NEW CELLS FORMING IN AN ESSENTIALLY AUTOCONVECTIVE
ENVIRONMENT TO THE WEST. CENTRAL CWA SHOULD SEE CELLS SOON AS WELL
ONCE SURFACE-BASED CIN GENERATED BY EARLIER RAIN CAN BREAK UP.
HI-RES MODELS STILL BRING MORE CONCENTRATED CONVECTION IN FROM THE
WEST AND NORTHWEST AFTER 21Z OR SO. THINK THIS MAKES SENSE AS COLD
POOLS FROM CURRENT STORMS AND APPROACHING INDIANA ACTIVITY START
INTERACTING WITH A QUITE UNSTABLE AIRMASS. HAVE LIKELY POPS SINKING
IN DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MIXED LAYER CAPES ARE 3000
J/KG ALONG AND WEST OF THE OHIO RIVER. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS WEAK
THOUGH. GENERALLY EXPECTING ANY SEVERE THREAT TO BE FAIRLY ISOLATED
AND LIMITED TO HAIL AND DOWNBURST WINDS.
AS FOR THE FLOOD THREAT...AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT THE NORTHERN CWA
WHERE THE LOWEST FFG VALUES LIE ALONG WITH THE BEST THREAT OF
NEAR-TERM HEAVY RAINFALL. JUST-RELEASED WPC MPD MESSAGE HIGHLIGHTS
THIS AREA. TOUGH TO FIGURE WHERE GENERALLY HIGHER BASIN-AVERAGE QPF
WILL OCCUR...BUT ANY LOCATION WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO TORRENTIAL RAIN
FROM THUNDERSTORMS WITH GENERAL PWAT VALUES STILL AROUND 2 INCHES.
ELECTED TO HOLD OFF ON EXPANSION OF FLOOD WATCH FOR NOW GIVEN DRIER
ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS TO THE SOUTH...BUT WILL ALERT NEXT SHIFT TO
MONITOR FOR THIS NEED.
FRONTAL BOUNDARY STILL SLATED TO ARRIVE NEAR THE OHIO RIVER AROUND
12Z AND CROSS THE REST OF THE CWA INTO THE AFTERNOON. THE HEAVY
RAIN THREAT WILL TAPER OFF AROUND 06Z AS DAYTIME INSTABILITY
WANES...SO FLOOD WATCH MAY BE ABLE TO DROP ON TIME.
POST-FROPA...SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AHEAD OF H850 FRONT MAY KEEP
LOWER CLOUDS AND A FEW SHRA AROUND FOR A TIME. ONLY A FEW SCATTERED
SHOWERS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE MOUNTAINS BY 00Z. THEN...CWA WILL GET
A MUCH-NEEDED RESPITE FROM THE RAIN.
NOT ANTICIPATING ANY MAJOR CHANGES TO THE GOING TEMPERATURE FORECAST.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
FINALLY A BRIEF BREAK IN THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN. COLD FRONT TO
THE EAST OF THE CWA BY FRIDAY MORNING...WITH A GENERAL CLEARING
TREND TAKING PLACE. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW FAR SOUTH
CLEARING WILL MAKE IT THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING...AND CONTINUED
TO BE CONSERVATIVE WITH CLEARING OVERNIGHT...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS/HIGHER TERRAIN COUNTIES. DRIER AIR WILL SETTLE IN FOR
FRIDAY...ALONG WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES. COULD ALSO BE A
DECENT AMOUNT OF FOG FORMATION FRIDAY MORNING...PARTICULARLY IN
AREAS THAT SEE CLEARING...AS HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH SETTLES INTO
THE AREA.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD...GENERALLY FOLLOWED WPC THINKING...WHICH IS
A BLEND OF THE GFS AND ECMWF. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY WARM...AND
BECOME MORE HUMID ONCE AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. COULD BE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN COUNTIES ON SATURDAY IN THE SOUTHEASTERLY
FLOW...BUT FOR NOW LEFT A DRY FORECAST AS BETTER CHANCES LOOK TO BE
TO THE EAST/SOUTH OF THE CWA.
PATTERN THEN BECOMES MORE ACTIVE SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEK AS ENERGY
CUTS OFF FROM UPPER TROUGH ALONG EAST COAST...AND FORMS AN UPPER LOW
THAT WILL TRACK GENERALLY SOUTH AND WEST. STILL SOME DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THE MODELS WITH THE GENERAL TRACK OF THIS LOW...WHICH WILL
AFFECT HOW GREAT OF A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WE SEE ACROSS THE
CWA...BUT AS STATED BEFORE...FOLLOWED WPC THINKING/BLEND OF THE GFS
AND ECMWF...WHICH BRINGS THE LOW FARTHER WEST OVER OUR CWA THAN THE
GFS. REGARDLESS...HOT...HUMID...AND STORMY WEATHER LOOKS TO MAKE A
RETURN ONCE AGAIN.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
18Z WEDNESDAY THRU 18Z THURSDAY...
GENERALLY VFR OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION. CU HAVE FORMED/WILL FORM
BETWEEN 4 AND 5 THOUSAND FEET. BRIEF IFR POSSIBLE IN CONVECTION
ALONG MOUNTAINS AND DEVELOPING IN NE KY/SE OH. DID NOT TEMPO FOR
THIS DUE TO SCATTERED NATURE BUT DID INCLUDE VCTS AT HTS/BKW FOR
NOW. EXPECT MORE CONCENTRATED CONVECTION AFTER 21Z AHEAD OF
APPROACHING FRONT...WITH AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN MOVING ACROSS
DURING THE NIGHT. EXPECTING GENERAL MVFR CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP AS
CIGS FALL WITH THE RAIN...AGAIN SPOTTY IFR POSSIBLE IN BRIEF HEAVIER
RAIN.
FRONT REACHES OHIO RIVER AROUND 12Z AND IS IN OR APPROACHING THE
MOUNTAINS BY 18Z. MVFR CIGS AND A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER FOR A BIT
BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT A DEFINITE IMPROVING TREND WILL BE SEEN BY
THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM.
ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING AND EXTENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
COULD VARY.
