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 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.

What forecasters said that day

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

Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 12:59 PM EDT, 3 hours 16 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1259 PM EDT SAT JUN 20 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
WHATS LEFT OF TROPICAL STORM BILL WILL CAUSE PERIODS OF HEAVY
RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TONIGHT. A MEANDERING FRONT WILL
BRING ON AND OFF THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
REPETITIVE SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD PRODUCE ENOUGH PCPN TO EXCEED
FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT. THEREFORE...CONTINUE
WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE AREA IN EFFECT THROUGH 09Z
TONIGHT. OTHERWISE...MOST AREAS WILL SEE RAIN WHICH CAN BE HEAVY
AT TIMES DUE TO THE ROBUST AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE IN THE AIR WITH
PWATS IN EXCESS OF TWO INCHES. LUCKILY...MOST OF THE BANDS OF
PRECIP SEEM TO BE MOVING ALONG FAIRLY NICELY ALLOWING LOCATIONS TO
RECOVER A LITTLE BETWEEN DOWNPOURS.

THE REMAINING CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH BILL SHOULD MOVE
DIRECTLY OVER THE CENTER OF WV ON ITS WAY NORTHEAST. WILL NEED TO
WATCH SOME OF THE WRAP AROUND BANDS TO SEE IF THEY WILL SURPASS
FFG...BUT FOR NOW MOST PRECIP LOOKS TO BE IN THE DEFORMATION ZONE
WHICH LIES JUST TO THE NORTH OF PERRY COUNTY OHIO.

THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE
ATMOSPHERE IS SO WARM WITH DEEP MOISTURE THAT IT WILL BE HARD TO
REALIZE ANY OF THE POTENTIAL.

PRECIPITATION SHOULD END EARLY SUNDAY IN THE MOUNTAINS AS THE
REMNANTS OF BILL PUSH AWAY. HOWEVER...THE DRY WEATHER WILL NOT
LAST LONG AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND MAY BRING SOME SEVERE THREAT WITH IT. THE FRONT
SHOULD PUSH SOUTHEAST AND POSSIBLY BECOME STATIONARY ACROSS OUR
SOUTHERN COUNTIES BY MONDAY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MOST...IF NOT ALL...OF THE REGION SHOULD BE DRY MONDAY MORNING.
FRONT WILL BEGIN TO LIFT BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT DURING THE
DAY. NAM SUGGESTS REGION WILL REMAIN DRY MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT.
GFS SUGGESTS PRECIPITATION WILL DEVELOP ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN
COUNTIES MONDAY AFTERNOON...AND THEN DISSIPATE LATE MONDAY INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

ONE THING THAT I HAVE LEARNED DURING MY CAREER IS TO NEVER TRUST
A WARM FRONT. WITH THIS IN MIND...HAVE GONE WITH CHANCE POPS SOUTH
AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS NORTH AS THE WARM FRONT HEADS NORTH.

BY TUESDAY MORNING...WARM FRONT SHOULD HAVE PUSHED NORTH...WITH A
COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. SO CHANCES FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE DURING THE DAY.

WITH THE GROUND BEING WET DUE TO THE PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TODAY
AND TONIGHT...FEEL WARMER MAV NUMBERS FOR HIGHS ON SUNDAY ARE TOO
WARM AND HAVE GONE CLOSER TO THE MET NUMBERS. FEEL THE SAME FOR
HIGHS ON MONDAY...SO WENT CLOSER TO THE COOLER MAV NUMBERS. ALSO
FEEL MEX NUMBERS ARE TOO WARM FOR HIGHS ON TUESDAY...SO ECMWF
NUMBERS WERE PREFERRED.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A SERIES OF UPPER DISTURBANCES IN THE WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
PATTERN OVER OUR REGION...WILL KEEP A FRONTAL SYSTEM MEANDERING
CLOSE TO OUR AREA. IT WILL DIFFICULT TO TIME THESE DISTURBANCES
AND HOW FAR THEIR FRONTS WILL GET...SO WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS EACH DAY. IT WILL CONTINUE WARM AND HUMID.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VARIOUS AREAS OF IFR AND THUNDERSTORMS IN BANDS FROM REMNANTS OF
TROPICAL STORM BILL WILL CONTINUE NOW THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY. DEW
POINTS REMAIN HIGH OVERNIGHT AND ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE COULD
LEND TO LOW STRATUS OR FOG SUNDAY MORNING.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: LOW TO MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING AND LOCATION OF SHRA/TSRA WILL
REQUIRE AMENDMENTS AND TEMPOS. TIMING OF DETERIORATING/IMPROVING FLIGHT
CONDITIONS ON ACCOUNT OF THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BILL MAY
VARY.

.AFTER 00Z SUNDAY... IFR POSSIBLE TUESDAY IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.
