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 12:00Z, 6.3 hours before the alert went out and 159 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, Apr 9, 1:51 PM EDT, 29 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
151 PM EDT THU APR 9 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH FRIDAY. COLD FRONT
CROSSES FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE FOR THE WEEKEND. COLD FRONT APPROACHES
AND THEN STALLS FOR UNSETTLED WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
YET ANOTHER CONVECTIVE COMPLEX DEVELOPING TO OUR WEST...HOWEVER
THE MEAN FLOW TODAY LOOKS TO KEEP THE STRONGEST STORMS TO OUR
WEST...OR JUST CLIPPING THE WESTERN CWA. THE HIGHEST ML CAPE
REMAINS WEST OF CWA...AND WOULD EXPECT STRONGEST STORMS TO STICK
CLOSER TO THIS. WE ARE STILL FIRMLY WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR
HOWEVER WITH CONVECTION POPPING UP ACROSS WV SOUTHWEST INTO
SOUTHERN KENTUCKY...SO WILL STILL HAVE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DRIFTING NE ACROSS FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON...INTO THIS
EVENING ACROSS THE NORTH. THINK THE BEST CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN MOSTLY WEST OF FORECAST AREA. IN
CWA BEST CHANCE LOOKS TO BE IN THE WESTERN THIRD OF CWA...ALONG
THE OHIO RIVER AND WEST THIS AFTERNOON INTO EVENING. USED THE HRRR TO
TIME THE BEST POPS...ALTHOUGH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION IS
TOUGH TO GET EXACT. LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW IS GENERALLY OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST...20-30KTS AROUND 925 MB...UP TO 50-60KTS AT 500MB. THIS
WILL KEEP THINGS MOVING WHICH SHOULD HELP WITH WATER CONCERNS.
MAIN CONCERN WATER-WISE WILL BE TRAINING CELLS...ESPECIALLY ALONG
ANY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THAT LINGER PARALLEL TO THE FLOW. NO REASON
TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. IN THE WETTER
AREAS...THAT WERE HIT LAST NIGHT BY HEAVY RAIN...IT WOULD LIKELY
ONLY TAKE 1-1.5 INCHES IN 3 HOURS OR LESS TO START CAUSING
PROBLEMS AGAIN...WHILE AREAS THAT HAVE NOT RECEIVED AS MUCH RAIN
OVER THE LAST DAY OR TWO IT WOULD TAKE 1.5-2 IN 3 HOURS.
TRIED TO SHOW A BREAK LATE THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT...AS
CONVECTION FROM THIS AFTERNOON EXITS TO THE NE...AND A COLD FRONT
FINALLY APPROACHES FROM THE WNW. STILL HAVE ISOLATED
SHOWERS/STORMS MENTIONED THROUGH THE NIGHT...AS WE REMAIN IN THE
WARM SECTOR.
COLD FRONT ARRIVES TO WESTERN ZONES FRIDAY MORNING. GFS/ECMWF ARE
FAIRLY SIMILAR IN TIMING WITH THE FRONT...WHILE NAM LAGS BEHIND A
BIT. DID NOT CHANGE PREVIOUS FORECAST TIMING A WHOLE LOT...BUT DID
INCREASE POPS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
PREFRONTAL BAND WILL BE RACING THRU AREA EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING...FOLLOWED BY ACTUAL SURFACE FRONT. HOPEFULLY THIS
PREFRONTAL BAND WILL BE ON A WEAKENING TREND AS IT COMES THRU
GIVEN TIME OF DAY AND SEPARATION FROM BETTER DYNAMICS. STILL...A
STOUT LLJ IS WORRISOME FOR DAMAGING WIND THREAT. THERE MAY BE SOME
REJUVENATION ALONG THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT BY THE TIME IT GETS INTO
THE MOUNTAINS BY LATE MORNING OR MIDDAY. MAY SEEM SOME SUN FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AMID SOME BREEZY CONDITIONS IN THE DRY SLOT ALOFT. TRUE
CAA HOLDS OFF UNTIL SATURDAY AS THE UPPER TROF SWINGS THRU. NOT
EXPECTING ANY PRECIP JUST AN EXPANSIVE STRATOCU FIELD...MOST
NOTICEABLE ACROSS N ZONES. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN SATURDAY NIGHT
AND WITH A CLEAR SKY...THINK THERE COULD BE SOME FROST CONCERNS IN
THE LOWLANDS. WE HAVE NOT STARTED THE GROWING SEASON JUST YET...BUT
SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND FOR THOSE EAGER GREEN THUMBS. THE HIGH
SLIDES OFF TO THE E ON SUNDAY BUT STILL A NICE DAY WITH MILD
TEMPS.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD. WEEKEND
STARTS OUT WARM AND DRY...AND HIGH PRESSURE...SURFACE AND ALOFT
BUILDS IN. AN ACTIVE AND STORMY WEEK THEN TAKES HOLD NEXT WEEK...AS
ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY...STALLS OUT ACROSS THE AREA
BRIEFLY...BEFORE LIFTING BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT BY
TUESDAY...WITH LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS WILL PROVIDE THE SET UP FOR
WARM...AND HUMID WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA...ALONG WITH CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE INCREASINGLY MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. FOR
NOW...BROAD BRUSHED POPS IN THE EXTENDED...WITH A DIURNAL TREND TO
CONVECTION/HIGHER POPS.
&&
.AVIATION /17Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS EXPECTED TODAY INTO
TONIGHT. HARD TO TIME THESE INDIVIDUAL CELLS WITH NO REAL SURFACE
FEATURE TO FOCUS ON...SO WENT WITH VCTS AND ANTICIPATE AMENDMENTS
WILL BE NEEDED IF CELLS APPROACH INDIVIDUAL TAF SITES. MVFR TO IFR
WOULD BE POSSIBLE. BETTER CONFIDENCE ON TIMING OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS FRIDAY MORNING AS A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH. WINDS WILL
GENERALLY BE OUT OF THE S/SW THROUGH TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH VARIABLE
AND GUSTY IN AND AROUND CONVECTION. WINDS WILL BECOME WESTERLY
BEHIND THE FRONT.
