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 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.
The nearest sounding before it
Roanoke, VA (KRNK), launched 12:00Z, 8.4 hours before the alert went out and 82 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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
405 PM EDT SAT MAY 11 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING...ASSOCIATED WITH
ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER...SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. A SECOND
COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT...LEADING IN MUCH
COLDER AND DRIER AIR. HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE AREA FROM
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 325 PM EDT SATURDAY...
SURFACE COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED FROM CENTRAL WEST VIRGINIA
SOUTHWEST INTO WESTERN KENTUCKY...AND IT WAS MOVING TOWARD THE EAST.
IT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS OUR REGION THIS EVENING. SHOWERS HAVE
DEVELOPED WITHIN THE UNSTABLE AIR IN ADVANCE OF IT. NONE HAVE
DEVELOPED INTO THUNDERSTORMS SO FAR...BUT WE EXPECTED ISOLATED
COVERAGE THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THE ARE MOST
PRIMED FOR STORMS IS THE EASTERN PART OF THE REGION WHERE THERE HAS
BEEN THE GREATEST HEATING THROUGH THE DAY. THE STORM PREDICTION
CENTER HAS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF VIRGINIA OUTLOOKED FOR A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE FAR
WESTERN EXTENT OF THIS OUTLOOK INCLUDES
BUCKINGHAM...APPOMATTOX...CHARLOTTE...AND HALIFAX COUNTIES.
HERE...THE STORMS MAY POSE AN INCREASED CHANCE OF HAIL AND/OR
DAMAGING WINDS. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL DECREASE FROM WEST TO
EAST THIS EVENING WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT.
A SECONDARY...REINFORCING COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO AND
THROUGH THE AREA JUST BEFORE SUNRISE SUNDAY. THIS LIMITED MOISTURE
WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH IT...ENOUGH MAINLY FOR CLOUDS...WITH
ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA. WINDS WILL SHIFT
NORTHWEST AND BECOME GUSTY BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH RIDGE TOP GUSTS
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AROUND 30 MPH ON SUNDAY. THERE WILL ALSO BE A
TREND TOWARD DECREASING CLOUDS THROUGH THE DAY...WITH AREAS ALONG
AND EAST OF THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE TO BECOME CLEAR FIRST.
PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS BY THE
AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE MID TO UPPER 40S ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS WITH LOW TO MID 50S ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. ON SUNDAY...HIGHS
WILL RANGE FROM THE LOW 50S TO NEAR 60 ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...WITH
MID TO UPPER 60S ACROSS THE PIEDMONT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 345 PM EDT SATURDAY...
MUCH COLDER AIR WILL BE ENTERING THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT. LOOKING
UPSTREAM...TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT WERE WELL INTO THE 30S.
SURFACE DEW POINTS WILL BE DROPPING INTO THE 20S. IN COORDINATION
WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES...HAVE ISSUED A FREEZE WATCH FOR PARTS OF
THE WESTERN FORECAST AREA. A FEW FACTORS MAY MAKE THE ODDS FOR
FREEZING TEMPERATURES LESS FAVORABLE. FIRST...THE POSITION OF THE
HIGH IS NOT IDEAL. THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE WILL STILL BE TO THE WEST
ON SUNDAY NIGHT WHICH WILL MEAN WINDS WILL NOT COMPLETELY DIMINISH.
ALSO...ANY CLOUD COVER WILL LIMIT AMOUNT OF COOLING. BUT IN LOOKING
AT BUFKIT...FOR MANY STATIONS IN THE WEST...ALL BUT THE LOWEST FEW
HUNDRED FEET OF THE SOUNDING WAS BELOW ZERO. HIGH ELEVATIONS HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO BE WELL INTO THE FREEZING AIR. BASED IN THE PSU
EYEWALL DEPICTION OF THE ANOMALIES OF THIS AIR MASS...IT IS
DEFINITELY MUCH COLDER THAN NORMAL.
COLD AIR ALOFT COMES OVER THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY. ENOUGH MOISTURE
AND LARGE ENOUGH LAPSE RATES FOR A LAYER OF STRATOCUMULUS AND AND
POSSIBLY A FEW SHOWERS IN THE NORTHWEST UPSLOPE AREAS. MONDAY NIGHT
THE SURFACE HIGH IS CENTERED OVER THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...HIGH
CLOUDS IN ADVANCE OF THE WARM FRONT CROSSING THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY
MAY REACH THE FORECAST AREA BEFORE 12Z TUESDAY MORNING. IF THE
CLOUDS HOLD OFF TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE PLENTY COLD WITH LIGHTER
WINDS FOR ANOTHER NIGHT WITH FROST IN THE MOUNTAINS.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM EDT SATURDAY...
PATTERN BECOME LESS AMPLIFIED THIS TIME FRAME. A WARM FRONT AND
LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE APPROACHES ON TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
MODELS SHOWING STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION AND ENOUGH MOISTURE TO KEEP
THE PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECAST.
THE WARM FRONT IS LEADING MUCH WARMER AIR INTO THE REGION. 850 MB
TEMPERATURES REMAIN IN THE +12 TO +16 RANGE FOR THE REST OF THE
WEEK. EAST TO WEST ORIENTED FRONT REMAINS NORTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA. SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE WILL BE SOMEWHERE OVER THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY OF SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES ON FRIDAY. THIS LOOKS TO
BE THE DAY WITH BETTER AREAL COVERAGE/GREATER PROBABILITY OF
PRECIPITATION. OTHERWISE NOTHING ORGANIZED SO JUST EXPECTING TYPICAL
OROGRAPHICALLY INDUCED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL TO ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.
NO REASON TO STRAY FAR FROM CURRENT GUIDANCE.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM EDT SATURDAY...
SURFACE COLD FRONT IS STILL WEST OF THE REGION OVER CENTRAL WV
INTO FAR EASTERN KY. AHEAD OF IT...SCATTERED SHOWERS HAVE BEEN
DEVELOPING MAINLY ALONG A KBCB-KROA-KFVX LINE. NO LIGHTNING
STRIKES SO FAR...BUT SOME ISOLATED STORMS ARE EXPECTED AS THE
AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. SOME OF THESE MAY CONTAIN HAIL AND STRONG
DOWNBURST WINDS...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS NEAR AND EAST OF A KFVX-KDAN
LINE. CEILINGS THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON WILL BE MVFR-LOW END
VFR ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS WITH MAINLY LOW END VFR EAST OF THE CREST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE. VSBYS WILL BE VFR OUTSIDE OF THE IMMEDIATE
REGIONS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS.
THIS EVENING...THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING
ALONG WITH SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS. A REINFORCING COLD
FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION BETWEEN 08Z/4AM-10Z/6AM SUNDAY.
SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THIS
SECONDARY COLD FRONT WITH GUSTS AROUND 2O T0 25 KTS AFTER 14Z/10AM
SUNDAY. MVFR WITH POCKETS OF IFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
MAIN UPSLOPE REGIONS OF SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA. THE REMAINDER OF
THE AREA WILL EXPERIENCE VFR CEILINGS. AFTER 14Z/10AM SUNDAY...ALL
AREAS SHOULD EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES EAST OF
THE MOUNTAINS AND SCATTERED LOW END VFR CLOUDS OVER THE MOUNTAINS.
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THERE
MAY BE SOME MOUNTAIN VALLEY OR RIVER VALLEY FOG SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY. HOWEVER...EACH SUBSEQUENT DAY THE COVERAGE SHOULD BE
LESS.
COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROMPT SOME PATCHY FROST WHERE WINDS
BECOME NEAR CALM AS THE CENTER OF THE HIGH MOVES OVERHEAD. THE
MOST LIKELY MORNING TO FIND FROST ON YOUR AIRCRAFT WILL BE LATE
MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.
