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

Cncnati-Daytn, OH (KILN), launched 00:00Z, 2.1 hours before the alert went out and 218 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 3, 10:02 PM EDT, 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 10:02 PM EDT, 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1002 PM EDT TUE JUN 3 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT SETTLES INTO THE AREA TONIGHT...BEFORE STALLING
OVERNIGHT...AND THEN RETREATING BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ON
WEDNESDAY.  A STRONGER COLD FRONT CROSSES EARLY THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
EVENING UPDATE...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO CROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING WITH A FEW GETTING ORGANIZED ENOUGH TO
BE STRONG TO SEVERE. SHOULD SEE THOSE CALMING DOWN SHORTLY AND
BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY MORE ISOLATED OVERNIGHT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...A WEAK COLD FRONT SHOULD PUSH SOUTHEAST
TONIGHT...BEFORE BECOMING STATIONARY LATE TONIGHT. IT APPEARS
FRONT WILL STALL OUT EITHER JUST TO OUR SOUTH OR ACROSS OUR
SOUTHERN ZONES. EXPECT AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
ACCOMPANY THIS FEATURE.

FRONT WILL MOVE BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ON WEDNESDAY. MODELS
AND WPC QPF SUGGEST SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DEVELOP INVOF WARM
FRONT AND MOVE NORTH WITH IT.

SPC HAS PORTIONS OF OUR AREA IN SLIGHT RISK FOR TOMORROW AND
TOMORROW NIGHT. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT SEVERE THREAT SHOULD BE
AFTER 00Z THU. HOWEVER...WOULD NOT BE TOO SURPRISED TO SEE A
SEVERE WEATHER WATCH ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF OUR REGION BY LATE
AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES ALOFT WILL DOMINATE. ONE LOW
PRESSURE WILL PASS JUST TO THE NORTH OF OUR AREA ACROSS CENTRAL OHIO
WEDNESDAY EVENING WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE
AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING. THIS REPRESENTS THE MORE
SOUTHWARD TRACK OF THE LOW PER GFS/CMC RATHER THAN THE FARTHER NORTH
NAM TRACK WHICH APPEARS TO BE THE OUTLIER. WILL USE THE MIDDLE OF
THE ROAD GFS SPEED FOR THIS SYSTEM. THIS SCENARIO WILL HAVE THE
FRONT DROP INTO OUR NORTHWESTERN AREA WEDNESDAY EVENING AND EXIT THE
AREA BY MID MORNING THURSDAY. AT THIS EARLY STAGE...WOULD HAVE TO
CORRELATE THE POPS WITH THE SYNOPTIC FEATURES...SINCE IT IS TOO
EARLY TO DETERMINE ANY MESOSCALE INFLUENCES THROUGH EVOLUTION AND
TRACK OF ANY MESOSCALE COMPLEXES THAT WOULD DEVELOP. THUS...WILL
BRING CAT POPS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THEN
TAPERING POPS OFF FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST MAINLY THURSDAY
MORNING AS THE FRONT PROGRESSES. A FEW STORMS MAY BE ON THE
STRONG...AND POSSIBLY SEVERE SIDE WEDNESDAY EVENING. ON THE OTHER
HAND...NOT EXPECTING WATER PROBLEMS AS THE SYSTEM WILL BE
PROGRESSIVE.

GUIDANCE CLOSE ON THE TEMPERATURES WITH A DRIER AND COOLER AIRMASS
MOVING IN THURSDAY. LOOK FOR TEMPS BELOW NORMAL THURSDAY..IN THE
70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FOLLOWED HPC CLOSELY WITH THE LOW AND COLD FRONT RIDING THE SOUTHERN
EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES...WHICH BRINGS IT ACROSS OUR AREA SUNDAY AND
MONDAY. THE SHORT WAVE AT THIS DISTANT TIME DOES HAVE A BIT MORE
AMPLITUDE WHICH WILL LIKELY DRAG THE SURFACE LOW FARTHER NORTH
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES. A GOOD WARMUP AND MOISTURE INFLUX
AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM ALSO. SO...LOOKS LIKE A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...BEFORE THE FRONT EXITS DURING
MONDAY...FOLLOWED BY DRIER AND COOLER AIR NEXT TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

COLD FRONT WITH ASSOCIATED STORMS PUSHING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
AREA TONIGHT WITH MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN THE SHOWERS
AND STORMS. IN ADDITION...WET GROUND...LIGHT WINDS AND BREAKS IN
THE CLOUDS MAY RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MVFR CONDITIONS ALONG
RIVER VALLEYS AND OTHER FAVORED LOCATIONS.

COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ON WEDNESDAY.
EXPECT SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT...WITH MVFR...
LOCAL IFR...CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. OUTSIDE OF THE STORMS...EXPECT
VFR CONDITIONS WILL RULE.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM THIS
EVENING AND WEDNESDAY COULD VARY BY A COUPLE OF HOURS. TIMING AND
INTENSITY OF RIVER VALLEY FOG COULD ALSO VARY.
