What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Jun 10, 4:36 PM EDT	HAIL 0.88	5 Nw Hillsville, VA	NICKEL SIZE HAIL FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. TIME FROM RADAR.

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

Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 8.4 hours before the alert went out and 111 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, 3:40 PM EDT, 44 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
340 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH A COLD
FRONT TRAILING INTO TEXAS AND A WARM FRONT EXTENDING ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY. THIS LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY LATE
WEDNESDAY. THE COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THEN MOVE THROUGH THE
REGION ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 335 PM EDT TUESDAY...

UPPER LOW MOVES NORTHEAST THROUGH MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS AND BECOMES
AN OPEN WAVE BY LATE WEDNESDAY. FORECAST AREA STAYS IN BROAD
SOUTHWEST UPPER FLOW. AT THE SURFACE A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT AND THE COUNTY WARNING AREA WILL
BE WELL WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR ON WEDNESDAY.

500 MB TEMPERATURES DROP SLIGHTLY ON WEDNESDAY WHICH WILL RESULT IN
LARGER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND INCREASE THE INSTABILITY. RIGHT
REAR QUADRANT OF UPPER JET WILL ALSO BE ADVANCING INTO THE AREA BY
AFTERNOON AND WILL ENHANCE THE LIFT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS.

EXPECTING A MAJORITY OF ANY ONGOING THUNDERSTORMS TO DIMINISH
BETWEEN 00Z/8PM AND 03Z/11PM. THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY MORNING. ONCE ATMOSPHERE
HEATS UP ON WEDNESDAY SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN DEVELOP IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MILD TONIGHT AND WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN THE
AIRMASS ON WEDNESDAY...WITH LEAN TOWARD WARMER MAV GUIDANCE FOR
AFTERNOON MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 250 PM EDT TUESDAY...

AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ROUGHLY NEAR THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER...THEN INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THE SYSTEM
WILL BE SHEARING AND WEAKENING...HOWEVER WHAT'S LEFT OF THE UPPER
LEVEL WAVE SHOULD SPAWN SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THE REST OF THE
WEEK AS IT LIMPS EAST. SOMEWHAT DRIER AND COOLER AIR ARRIVES BY THE
WEEKEND...WITH BEST CHCS FOR PRECIP THROUGH EXTREME SW VA AND NW NC
AS THE DISTURBANCE MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM EDT TUESDAY...

MEAGER SURFACE HIGH WILL ARRIVE IN A WEDGE POSITION BY SUNDAY ACROSS
NEW ENGLAND...KEEPING A SUPPLY OF COOLER AND DRIER AIR THROUGH MUCH
OF OUR REGION. SOME INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE EXTREME SW
AND WITH SURFACE CONVERGENCE DUE TO WEAK SE WINDS...PRECIP CHCS WILL
REMAIN ACROSS THE FAR SW AND NW NC. AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES OFF
THE COAST...RETURN FLOW DELIVERS WARMER AND MORE HUMID AIR...LEADING
TO A WIDER SCATTERING OF SHOWERS AND STORMS BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT
WEEK. H85 TEMPS MAY RETURN TO THE UPPER TEENS SOUTH OF WHAT LOOKS TO
BE A STATIONARY FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND MIDDLE
ATLANTIC BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 140 PM EDT TUESDAY...

REGION REMAINS IN MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS FOR THE REST OF THE
DAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE JUST BEGINNING TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE AT 1PM. NO DISTINCT TRIGGERS TO
NARROWS DOWN WHERE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
FORM SO CHALLENGING TO SAY IF ANY STORMS WILL IMPACT A PARTICULAR

OCCUR TO BETWEEN 3PM/19Z AND 8PM/00Z. GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL ARE
POSSIBLE WITH ANY OF THE STRONGER STORMS.

MVFR FOG IS EXPECTED TONIGHT IN MOST LOCATIONS. HIGH CONFIDENCE
THAT AIRPORTS WHICH HAVE RAIN THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING WILL HAVE
FOG OVERNIGHT. PATCHES OF MVFR CLOUD COVER IS POSSIBLE OVER THE
MOUNTAINS LATE TONIGHT BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT AS HIGH.

UPPER LEVEL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MS VALLEY WILL SLOWLY
MOVE EAST TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS/STORMS REGIONWIDE THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...WITH
GREATEST COVERAGE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME
ORGANIZATION OF STORMS IS LIKELY WITH STORMS CLUSTERING TOGETHER
IN SHORT LINE SEGMENTS.

EXTENDED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

CONFIDENCE FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS DECREASES AFTER
THURSDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROF MOVES OVERHEAD AND WEAKENS.
FROM FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND SHOWER/STORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO
BECOME MORE ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED WITH BETTER OPPORTUNITY
FOR GREATER COVERAGE OF VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE WEEKEND.
