The radar
The Roanoke radar (KFCX), 74 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 04:01 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
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
Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 00:00Z, 4.0 hours before the alert went out and 72 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.

NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jul 22, 11:51 PM EDT, 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 22, 11:51 PM EDT, 7 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1151 PM EDT MON JUL 22 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PASS ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. WEST
WINDS BEHIND THIS DISTURBANCE WILL DELIVER DRIER CONDITIONS FOR
TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH
A CHANGE IN AIRMASS THURSDAY. WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
INTO THE REGION TO CLOSE THE WORK WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 1151 PM EDT MONDAY...
RAIN SHIELD THAT CAME ACROSS THE GRAYSON AND NORTHWEST NORTH
CAROLINA HIGHLANDS THIS EVENING IS HOLDING TOGETHER AND LOOKS TO
ADVANCE INTO THE NEW RIVER AND ROANOKE VALLEYS THROUGH 2 AM BEFORE
SHRINKING IN COVERAGE. A LINE OF CONVECTION DEVELOPED ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA FOOTHILLS AROUND 1100 PM. THIS LINE MAY
BECOME THE DOMINATE FEATURE THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. HIRES
MODELS NOT KEEPING MUCH RAIN EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE OVERNIGHT.
MODELS HAVE STORMS ACROSS THE SOUTH FADING TRACKING NORTHEAST OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THIS LINE DOES APPEAR TO BE DISSIPATING
IN INTENSITY OVER THE LAST HALF HOUR BUT SHOULD MAINTAIN ITSELF
MOVING OVER THE NC/VA BORDER COUNTIES.
UPDATED POPS BASED ON LAST COUPLE OF HOURS OF KFCX RADAR IMAGES.
MODERATE RAIN AND LIGHTNING POTENTIAL STILL EXISTS ACROSS THE
SOUTH. WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THIS MENTIONED IN THE WEATHER GRIDS.
DESPITE THE RECENT ISSUANCE OF A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IN WILKES AND
SURRY COUNTY UNTIL 215 AM...FEEL OVER ALL THREAT OF FLASHING
ACROSS THE WATCH AREA IS VERY LOW. THEREFORE...WILL ALLOW THE
WATCH TO EXPIRE AT MIDNIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /8 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 345 PM EDT MONDAY...
WITH A CONTINUED WEST TO NORTHWESTERLY WIND FLOW ON TUESDAY...
ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER AND SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE MUCH MORE SPOTTY IN NATURE. BELIEVE
MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE CONFINED MAINLY TO THE RIDGES...
ALTHOUGH A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY CREEP INTO THE PIEDMONTS
DURING EARLY EVENING. REGARDLESS...CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH
QUICKLY TOWARD SUNSET. WITH DRIER AIR IN PLACE...EXPECT A LARGER
TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS...RANGING
FROM THE UPPER 70S/LOW 80S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...TO THE LOW 90S
ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA.
SHORT WAVE CROSSING INTO THE NORTHEAST UNITED STATES WILL BRING A
COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. WINDS BECOME
NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. COULD STILL HAVE SOME UPSLOPE SHOWERS IN THE WEST BEHIND THE
FRONT ON TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING.
MODELS ARE BRINGING DEEPER MOISTURE BACK INTO THE FORECAST AREA
WITH SOME SOUTHERLY 850 WINDS ON THURSDAY. HAVE HIGHEST PROBABILITY
OF PRECIPITATION IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1145 AM EDT MONDAY...
WARM AIR ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC LIFT AROUND THE LOW OVER THE
CAROLINAS WILL BE LIFTING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY. WPC
GUIDANCE KEEPS THIS LOW ON A FURTHER SOUTH TRACK THAN THE ECMWF
WHICH WOULD ALSO KEEP A MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION OVER THE
CAROLINAS.
WPC ALSO DEPICTING ANOTHER LOW THAT DEVELOPS IN THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY ON SATURDAY SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY. ECMWF SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD RAIN ON SUNDAY WITH
THIS LOW BUT WILL HAVE CHANCE PROBABILITY IN FOR NOW.
THE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST BY MONDAY MORNING WITH DEEP NORTHWEST FLOW
ON SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT BRINGING DRIER AND COOLER AIR
TO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. MODELS HAVE 850 BY TEMPERATURES
POTENTIALLY DOWN TO +10 BY TUESDAY MORNING. WHILE THE MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES MAY NOT BE SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER BEHIND EACH LOW...THE
DROP IN SURFACE DEW POINTS WILL BE MORE NOTICEABLE.
&&
.AVIATION /04Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 745 PM EDT MONDAY...
RAIN SHOWERS WITH SOME EMBEDDED THUNDER MAY AFFECT ALL OF THE
WESTERN TERMINALS TONIGHT...BEST CHANCE AT LWB/BLF AND LESS SO AT
ROA/BCB. ANY IFR RESTRICTIONS WOULD BE BRIEF...THINKING MORE IN
THE WAY OF MVFR. DRIER AIR AND WEST WIND SHOULD ALLOW ENOUGH
CLEARING FOR IFR CIG/VIS AT THE USUAL SPOTS...ESPECIALLY WITH
RAINFALL AT LWB AND POTENTIALLY BCB TONIGHT. SOME CLEARING AT
LYH/DAN MAY ALSO GIVE THEM A FEW HOURS OF IFR CIG NEAR DAWN.
DRIER CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT WITH
THE UPPER TROUGH TO THE EAST AND THE AREA UNDER A MORE WESTERLY
WIND FLOW. MAY SEE A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOP WITH AFTERNOON
HEATING...BUT OTHERWISE EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS ONCE MORNING FOG
DISSIPATES. IFR CIG/VIS EXPECTED AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...COOLER AIR AND HIGH PRESSURE ARRIVE
FOR THE END OF THE WEEK BEHIND A COLD FRONT LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.
WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS ARE POSSIBLE EACH DAY MAINLY ACROSS THE
HIGHEST ELEVATIONS...BUT SMALL CHANCE THAT ONE HITS A TERMINAL
DIRECTLY. MORE WIDESPREAD FOG THOUGH IS EXPECTED WITH LIFR/IFR
CIG/VIS EXPECTED JUST ABOUT EACH MORNING.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 400 PM EDT MONDAY...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH LATE THIS
EVENING...MAINLY ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL
RESULT IN VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH RATES OF 1-3 INCHES PER HOUR IN
SPOTS. ALTHOUGH THE RAINFALL WILL NOT BE WIDESPREAD...LOCATIONS
THAT SEE REPEATED STORMS COULD EXPERIENCE LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING
WITH VERY RAPID RISES ON SURROUNDING CREEKS AND STREAMS. THIS WILL
BE ESPECIALLY TRUE IN LOCATIONS THAT SAW HEAVY RAIN ON
SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE AND ACROSS PARTS OF THE
PIEDMONT. HEAVY RAIN COULD DEVELOP ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEAST WEST
VIRGINIA AS WELL AS THE VIRGINIA HIGHLANDS BY THIS EVENING AS A
POSSIBLE LINE OF STORMS AFFECTS THE REGION.
AS A RESULT OF THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE BLUE RIDGE WESTWARD THROUGH
MIDNIGHT TUESDAY.
