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

Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 10.2 hours before the alert went out and 180 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, 3:44 PM EDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
344 PM EDT MON MAY 11 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER THE GREAT LAKES WITH A COLD FRONT TRAILING
INTO EASTERN TEXAS. THIS FRONT WILL MOVE EAST TONIGHT AND WILL BE
OFF THE COAST BY TUESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND WILL
KEEP THE AREA COOL AND DRY THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 325 PM EDT MONDAY...

REMNANTS OF ANA HAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE AREA...BUT HAS LEFT THE
REGION IN A TROPICAL AIRMASS. WITH SOME WEAK CONVERGENCE AND
AFTERNOON HEATING OVER THE WEST...HAS GENERATED SLOW MOVING PULSE
STORMS THIS AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS WILL DRIFT TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST
THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. THESE PULSE STORMS WILL FADE WITH LOSS OF
HEATING BUT MAY NOT COMPLETELY GO AWAY OVERNIGHT AS INSTABILITIES
LINGER UNTIL MIXING INCREASES WITH THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT
TONIGHT.

PREFRONTAL SHOWERS WILL MOVE IN ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS LATE THIS
EVENING. AS THE FRONT TRACKS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT...WEST
WINDS INCREASE WITH DOWNSLOPING LIMITING CONVECTION ACTIVITY EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE. THE BEST CHANCE FOR CONVECTION EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE WILL BE THIS EVENING. DYNAMICS WITH THE FRONT SPLIT WITH THE
MAIN PIECE OF ENERGY TRACKING NORTH INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO
VALLEY AND THE OTHER SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
OVERNIGHT. WITH WEAK DYNAMICS...DO NOT EXPECT ANY SEVERE STORMS THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. SOME PULSE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON COULD FLIRT
CLOSE TO SEVERE WITH HAIL...BUT OVER ALL ACTIVITY WILL BE THE RUN-OF-
THE-MILL THUNDERSTORMS.

THE FRONT CROSSES THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT AND WILL BE EAST OF THE
PIEDMONT BY LATE TUESDAY MORNING. THE DEW POINT FRONT LAGS BEHIND
AND DOES NOT CLEAR THE AREA UNTIL TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WITH CLEARING
BEHIND THE FRONT AND A WARM START TO THE DAY...HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL WITH UPPER 70S WEST TO UPPER 80S EAST.
PRESSURE RISES BEHIND THE FRONT WILL ALSO BRING BREEZY AND GUSTY
CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY TUESDAY. NOTHING CLOSE TO ADVISORY
CRITERIA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM EDT MONDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA FOR MID WEEK...PROVIDING
FAIR DRY CONDITIONS...TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO THE SEASONAL NORM. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR BREEZY CONDITIONS
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...BUT AS THE HIGH DRIFTS OVERHEAD
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE WINDS WILL DIMINISH.

MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT AND WAS GENERALLY FOLLOWED FOR
BOTH THE MAX AND MINS.  TRIMMED DEWPOINTS A FEW DEGREES COMPARED TO
GUIDANCE PER POTENTIAL TO MIX DOWN DRIER AIR ALOFT.  THIS RESULTED
IN AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY MINIMUMS 10 PERCENT DRIER THAN PREV
FORECASTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT MONDAY...

WEATHER PATTERN FAVORS THE RETURN OF THE AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES WITH BUILDING HEIGHTS
ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA.  THIS WILL RESULT IN AN UPWARD TREND OF
TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS WITH AN OVERALL RETURN TO SUMMER-LIKE
WEATHER WITH TEMPERATURES 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL IN ADDITION
TO A DAILY THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 135 PM EDT MONDAY...

A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL CROSS OVER THE MOUNTAINS THIS
EVENING...THEN OVER THE PIEDMONT TUESDAY MORNING. AHEAD OF THIS
FRONT...SLOW MOVING PULSE STORMS ARE FORMING ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING...THEN FADE
WITH LOSS OF HEATING. MORE SHOWERS EXPECTED AS THE FRONT CROSSES
OVER THE REGION OVERNIGHT. CONFIDENCE AND TIMING OF THESE
AFTERNOON PULSE STORMS OVER A PARTICULAR AIRPORT IS
LOW...THEREFORE WILL CARRY VICINITY THUNDERSTORMS AT ALL SITES
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

A MUCH DRIER AIR MASS COMES INTO THE REGION WITH VFR CONDITIONS
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED ON
TUESDAY AND POSSIBLY WEDNESDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE OF SUB VFR WEATHER
AND PRECIPITATION WILL BE ON FRIDAY.
