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 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, 5.8 hours before the alert went out and 100 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, Jun 10, 10:55 AM EDT, 2 hours 55 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1055 AM EDT MON JUN 10 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
WARM AND HUMID AIR WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN ADVANCE OF A COLD
FRONT THAT WILL CROSS OUR AREA TODAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE FOLLOWS
THE FRONT FOR MID WEEK BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT DROPS IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST ON THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1040 AM EDT MONDAY...

ADJUSTED POPS FOR THIS MORNING RAIN-FREE SLOT. NOT TO IMPRESSED
WITH THUNDERSTORM THREAT AS I WOULD IF CLOUDS WERE NOT OVER THE
AREA. HOWEVER...MODEL INDICES STILL SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH OVER THE
AREA TO HAVE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS...ESPECIALLY THE PIEDMONTTHIS
AFTERNOON.

IMMEDIATE THREAT WILL BE FLASH FLOODING FROM HEAVY RAIN IN SLOW
MOVING SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. CURRENT BREAK IN THEN RAIN ALLOWING
CREEKS AND STREAMS LEVELS TO LOWER. NEXT ROUND OF RAIN WILL BRING
THEM BACK UP TO BANKFULL. WILL MAINTAIN FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE
POTENTIAL OF ANOTHER INCH OR SO OF RAIN INTO THIS EVENING.

PREVIOOUS FORECAST DUSCUSSION: AS OF 440 AM EDT MONDAY...

AREA RADARS SHOWED WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS. MODELS SHOWING SIMILAR SOLUTIONS WITH APPROACHING
UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED
TO CROSS WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA BETWEEN NOON AND
9PM. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH A MORE SOLID BAND OF
PRECIPITATION ALONG THE BOUNDARY.

WITH THE MOIST GROUND...LOW FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE AND HIGH THREAT
OF HEAVY RAIN WITH THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE EXPANDED THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE REST OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. SEE THE
HYDROLOGY SECTION OF THIS FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR AN IN DEPTH
ANALYSIS OF THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT.

HEAVY RAIN IS NOT THE ONLY THREAT TODAY. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. INSTABILITY WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO THE
WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER...HOWEVER...SOME OF THE SHORT TERM GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS THE POTENTIAL FOR UP TO 2000 J/KG OF CONVECTIVE AVAILABLE
POTENTIAL ENERGY. ASIDE FROM THAT QUESTIONABLE ELEMENT...MANY
OTHER FACTORS SUPPORT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. 850 MB WINDS WILL BE
FROM THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AROUND 35 KNOTS THIS MORNING...THEN
INCREASING INTO THE 45-50 KNOT RANGE AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS
AFTERNOON IN THE PIEDMONT. THE HODOGRAPH IS IDEALLY CURVED AND
LONG AND PER SPC DISCUSSION FOR TODAY...THE ATMOSPHERE IS NOT
CAPPED SO ANY OUTFLOW/FRONT WILL BE ABLE TO TRIGGER STORMS. SUPER
CELLS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS TYPE OF ATMOSPHERE.

HAVE ALSO INCLUDED FOG THIS MORNING ALONG THE SOUTHERN BLUE
RIDGE INTO NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA AND FANCY GAP WHERE THE
VISIBILITY HAS BEEN ONE MILE OR LESS SINCE MIDNIGHT.

HAVE LOWERED MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY. ONCE THE FRONT GOES
THROUGH...SURFACE DEW POINTS BRIEFLY LOWER INTO THE MID TO UPPER
50S. AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES ACROSS THE AREA...WITH THE COOLER
TEMPERATURES ALOFT...THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORM OVERNIGHT. BY THEN THE AIRMASS WILL NOT BE
NEARLY AS MOIST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT MONDAY...

AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE REGION MOVES TO THE EAST COAST BY
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE
ATLANTIC OCEAN BY LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. (MODELS SEEM TO
HAVE SPED UP THE FRONT A LITTLE). MAINTAINED THE LIGHT POPS OF
SHOWERS MAINLY ON WESTERN SLOPES WITH THE UPSLOPE FLOW AND TROUGH
DIGGING ACROSS THE REGION. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO OUR AREA
FROM THE SOUTHWEST TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. WITH GFS
AND SREF SUPPORTING...PLACED ISOLATED POPS IN SOUTHWEST PORTION OF
OUR CWA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE GIVES
WAY TO A WARM FRONT ON WEDNESDAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ANTICIPATED WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

NORTHWEST FLOW TUESDAY WILL ALLOW FOR SOME COOLER TEMPERATURES IN
THE MOUNTAINS WITH DOWNSLOPING EXPECTED FOR EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS.
HIGHS TUESDAY WILL AVERAGE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES
IN THE MID 70S IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE MID 80S IN THE SOUTHEAST.
LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM MID 50S IN THE NORTHWEST TO
AROUND 65 DEGREES IN PIEDMONT. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARRIVE
WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS GENERALLY FROM THE MID 80S ACROSS THE WEST TO
NEAR 90 IN THE EAST. WARM AND HUMID WEDNESDAY NIGHT EXPECTED WITH
LOWS FROM AROUND 60 TO AROUND 70 DEGREES.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 400 AM EDT MONDAY...

A VIGOROUS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM/MESOSCALE COMPLEX (MCS) MAY TRACK
ALONG THE WARM FRONT AND MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY. AT THIS
TIME...THE BULK OF THE STRONGER STORMS WILL BE NORTH OF THE AREA.
HOWEVER...WITH WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA...STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS ARE A GOOD BET THURSDAY AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY INTO
THURSDAY EVENING. TIMING OF THE WAVE AND POSITIONING OF THE WARM
FRONT WILL DETERMINE AREAL COVERAGE OF THE STRONGER STORMS ACROSS
THE AREA. MAIN THREAT FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL BE STRAIGHT LINE
WINDS. ONCE THIS WAVES ROLLS THROUGH THE REGION...HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BRING COOLER DRIER WEATHER INTO THE REGION INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 745 AM EDT MONDAY...

APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT WILL
BRING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA TODAY.
PREDOMINANT CEILINGS WILL BE MVFR...WITH LCL IFR CONDITIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS.

THE BAND OF WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL FINALLY PUSH EAST BY
THIS EVENING. COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH BLF/LWB AND BCB AFTER
00Z/8PM...WITH SURFACE WINDS SHIFTING TO THE WEST. AT ROA/LYH/DAN
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AND WIND SHIFT WILL BE AFTER 06Z. SOME OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAIN AND THERE IS A SLIGHT
RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

MORE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN UPPER
TROF CROSSING THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD
FINALLY BRING A RETURN TO VFR BY WEDNESDAY BEFORE YET ANOTHER
FRONT COULD BRING MORE SUB- VFR IN SHRA/TSRA ON THURSDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ALL THE SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT CONTINUES TO
PRIME THE GROUND. BLENDED PRECIPITABLE WATER LOOP SHOWED
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES CLOSE TO 2.0 INCHES ADVANCING WELL
NORTH INTO THE OHIO VALLEY...PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW JERSEY.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW THE FREEZING LEVEL CLOSE TO 14000 FEET
TODAY WITH GOOD SUPPORT FOR EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCTION. THIS MEANS
RAINFALL RATES GREATER THAN 3 TO 4 INCHES PER HOUR ARE POSSIBLE.
ONE HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS IN THE 1.3 TO 2.0 INCH RANGE.
HAVE EXPENDED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH ACROSS THE REST OF THE COUNTY
WARNING AREA.

IMPACT IN AREA MAINSTEM RIVERS WILL BE ASSESSED THROUGHOUT THE
DAY.
