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, 8.8 hours before the alert went out and 248 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, May 11, 3:11 PM EDT, 1 hour 34 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
311 PM EDT MON MAY 11 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
THE UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER CONTINUES TODAY. A COLD FRONT CROSSES
EARLY TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS NEAR TO JUST BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES
FOR MID WEEK. ANOTHER SYSTEM FOR FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MODELS PUSH A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT...PRECEDED BY A
PREFRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH. THIS SURFACE TROUGH WILL BE THE MAIN
FOCUS FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION WITH THIS SYSTEM...NOT MUCH
CONVECTION WITH THE FRONT ITSELF AS MUCH OF THE MOISTURE WILL BE
SWEPT OUT AHEAD OF IT. EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THE DYNAMICS WILL LIFT
NORTH AND WEST OF THE AREA...THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND
SHEAR FOR A FEW OF THE STORMS TO BE SEVERE IN THE WESTERN PORTION OF
THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE
SURFACE TROUGH. BEST POPS WILL BE IN THE NORTH AND WEST. ANY
SEVERITY WILL DECREASE THIS EVENING WITH LOSS OF HEATING. THE FRONT
ITSELF WILL BE ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER AROUND MIDNIGHT AND EAST OF THE
MOUNTAINS BEFORE DAWN TUESDAY. THUS...WILL END THE POPS BY 12Z
TUESDAY. GOOD COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT WILL KEEP CLOUDS INTO
TUESDAY MORNING...BUT WILL BREAK UP FROM WEST TO EAST TO ALLOW
SUNSHINE MOST AREAS BY EARLY AFTERNOON. TEMPS WILL BE MUCH COOLER
WITH READINGS GETTING BACK TO NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
RATHER QUITE SHORT TERM PERIOD WITH HIGH PRESSURE PASSING TO THE
NORTH...AND AN UPPER RIDGE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. EXPECT
TEMPERATURES AT TO JUST BELOW NORMAL TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND THEN WARMING UP AGAIN ON THURSDAY. CURRENT
GUIDANCE KEEPS US ABOVE FROST LEVELS...BUT MAY NEED TO WATCH FOR THE
POTENTIAL IN THE TYPICALLY COOLER LOW SPOTS. BLENDED IN THE MET FOR
LOWS...AND USED A CONSENSUS BLEND FOR HIGHS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
TRENDED TOWARD WPC GUIDANCE FOR THE LONG TERM...ALTHOUGH DID STAY A
BIT HIGHER ON POPS FOR THE WEEKEND. WHILE DETAILS ARE SOMEWHAT MUDDY
IN THE MODELS...BOTH GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH
PRECIP FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. OVERALL PATTERN APPEARS TO BE A
DIRTY UPPER LEVEL RIDGE...WITH A SLOWLY MEANDERING OR STATIONARY
SURFACE BOUNDARY IN THE VICINITY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
18Z MONDAY THRU 18Z TUESDAY...
A PREFRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT. WHILE EXACT
TIMING IS DIFFICULT AS THE FEATURES LOSE DEFINITION...BOTH FEATURES
WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA PRIOR TO 12Z TUESDAY. OTHER THAN A THIN
BAND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ALONG THE PREFRONTAL SURFACE
TROUGH...MAINLY WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL BE THE
RULE AHEAD OF THESE FEATURES...EXCEPT MORE NUMEROUS IN THE HIGHER
MOUNTAIN ELEVATIONS DURING MAX AFTERNOON HEATING. BUT STILL NOT
CONFIDENT TO GO PREVAILING THUNDER IN EKN AND BKW THIS AFTERNOON.

BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVERNIGHT...MVFR CEILINGS WILL
OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST. THESE WILL THEN BREAK UP
FROM WEST TO EAST TUESDAY MORNING AS DRIER AIR FILTERS IN.
HOWEVER...WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY TO OVER 20 MPH FROM THE WEST BY
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING OF ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION MAY VARY BY
2-3 HOURS...ALONG WITH ONSET OF MVFR CEILINGS TONIGHT BEHIND THE
FRONT.
