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, 11.0 hours before the alert went out and 207 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.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
630 AM UPDATE. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE. FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
MAIN CONCERN RIGHT OFF THE BAT IS A SHORT WAVE RIDING EASTWARD ALONG
THE OHIO RIVER EARLY THIS MORNING. HI RES MODELS HAVE PICKED UP WELL
ON THIS FEATURE WHICH IS EVIDENT IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. ONGOING
BAND OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED STORMS WITH THIS FEATURE SHOULD
TRAIN FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 3 OR 4 HOURS INTO WEST CENTRAL WEST
VIRGINIA...BEFORE THE SHORT WAVE EXITS BY MID MORNING. CONVECTION
WILL THEN RAPIDLY DECREASE BEFORE FIRING BACK UP IN THE AFTERNOON.
WILL CARRY FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO COVER THIS TIL 11 AM.
OTHERWISE...FRONT REMAINS ACROSS SOUTHEAST OHIO AND NORTHERN WEST
VIRGINIA THROUGH TONIGHT. DRYING ALOFT HOLD NORTH OF THE FRONT SO
NOT MUCH POPS UP THERE. MOST OF THE ACTION WILL CONTINUE ALONG AND
ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE FRONT IN THE WARM AND VERY HUMID AIRMASS
WHERE PWS REMAIN AOA 2 INCHES. WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT EVALUATE ANY
ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOOD WATCHES IF ANY....GIVEN UNCERTAINTY JUST HOW
FAR SOUTH THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL REFIRE IN EARNEST. USING A
BLEND OF MODEL GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES TODAY.
FOR TONIGHT...MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY IN THE SOUTH WILL DIE DOWN FAIRLY
QUICKLY WITH LOSS OF HEATING AND MODEL INDICATED LACK OF SHORT WAVE
ACTION. WARM AND MUGGY CENTRAL AND SOUTH...BUT DRIER AIR HOLDS
ACROSS THE NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT OR WHAT IS LEFT OF IT. WILL GO ON
THE HIGHER SIDE TEMP GUIDANCE SOUTH AND COOLER NORTH.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
STATIONARY FRONT WILL DISSOLVE OUT SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY
NIGHT...EFFECTIVELY REDUCING THE POPS OVER THE SOUTHERN ZONES DURING
THIS TIME PERIOD. THIS WILL BE AIDED BY THE SURFACE AND LOW LEVEL
FLOW BRIEFLY GOING NORTHWESTERLY...WITH DRYING EXPECTED AT 850MB
INTO EARLY MONDAY. LATE MONDAY...THE LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNS
SOUTHWESTERLY...WITH THE HIGHER DEWPOINTS RETURNING TO THE AREA AS
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TRAVERSES THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES. WILL GET
SOME DEFINED FRONTOGENESIS MONDAY NIGHT WITH THE INCREASE IN THE
MOISTURE...AND WILL RAMP UP THE POPS CONSIDERABLE THROUGH TUESDAY.
COLD FRONT PASSAGE WILL BE LATER IN THE DAY TUESDAY.
UNTIL THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...WARM AND HUMID WEATHER CONTINUES WITH NO
MAJOR CHANGES TO THE TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD. MOST NOTABLE
CHANGE WOULD BE NOTCHING UP THE OVERNIGHT LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY NIGHT. KEEP THE MAX TEMPERATURES DOWN ON TUESDAY WITH
EXPECTED RAIN THROUGH THE DAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MOISTURE AND HUMIDITY WILL BE ON THE INCREASE ONCE AGAIN BY
MONDAY...AS A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES NORTH ACROSS THE CWA. PW
VALUES WILL ONCE AGAIN RISE TO AROUND 1.7 TO 1.8 INCHES...AND HEAVY
DOWNPOURS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY SHOWERS/STORMS THAT DEVELOP.
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR CONDITIONS ONCE AGAIN FOR POTENTIAL LOCALIZED
WATER ISSUES. COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE CWA TUESDAY...WITH
DRIER AND MUCH COOLER WEATHER IN STORE.
