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 tornado 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
Roanoke, VA (KRNK), launched 12:00Z, 5.5 hours before the alert went out and 133 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
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
539 AM EDT Mon Sep 17 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Depression Florence was centered over extreme southwest
Virginia early this morning. The remnants of Florence will lift
north through the Appalachian mountains today into tonight. The
storm will then move northeast across the northeast United
States Tuesday and Tuesday night, pulling a cold front across
the local area Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday night. High

&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 425 AM EDT Monday...
Early this morning, Tropical Depression Florence was cntrd over
extrm SW VA. Bands of showers, some heavy, well east of the
storm, were moving nwrd thru the NC/VA Piedmont counties. Only
isolated showers were occurring E of Interstate 95 over the
remainder of the area. Temps were ranging thru the 70s under a
partly cloudy to cloudy sky.
The remnants of Florence will lift north through the Appalachian
mountains today into tonight. On this track, the highest PoPs
will remain over the wrn half of the region, along with heavier
rains and QPF amts. Highs today will range fm the upper 70s to
mid 80s. Lows tonight in the lower to mid 70s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 425 AM EDT Monday...
The storm will move NE across the NE U.S. Tue and Tue night,
pulling a cold front across the local area Tue aftn through
Tue night. High pressure will then build down into the region
Wed.
The chance for showers/isolated tstms will spread eastward Tue
into Tue night, as the low moves acrs the NE U.S. and pulls the
cold front thru the region. Rain chances will come to an end
early Wed morning, as some drier air filters into the area behind
the cold front. A noticeable, though brief, reduction in humidity
will follow for Wed aftn and evening.
Highs will range thru the 80s on Tue, and in the lower to mid
80s on Wed. Lows Tue night will range fm the mid 60s to lower
70s.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 245 PM EDT Sunday...
Ridge aloft moves across the region the end of the week. A weak
trough aloft will track through the NE CONUS next weeknd
resulting in a flattening to the ridge invof mid-Atlantic/SE
states. A cold front is forecast to approach from the NNW Fri
night...then push SE into/across the local area Sat-Sun. Dry wx
w/ a break in the humidity for Thu/Fri. As the cold front
presses into the local area...RA chcs are expected to gradually
increase.
Lows Wed/Thu nights in the m60s-around 70F. Highs Thu 80-85F
then in the m-u80s Fri. Lows Fri night in the u60s-l70s. Highs
Sat in the l-m80s N to the m-u80s S. Lows Sat night from the
m60s N to around 70F SE. Highs Sun in the l80s N to the m80s S.
&&
.AVIATION /10Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 200 AM EDT Monday...
The remnants of Florence combined with a cold front eventually
moving into and acrs the region today thru Tue night, will
result in sctd showers and possible tstms affecting the TAF
sites. Other than isolated IFR Cigs, expect mainly VFR/MVFR
conditions today thru Tue night.
Outlook: Dry weather and mainly VFR conditions finally expected
Wed and Thu.
&&
.MARINE...
As of 400 AM EDT Monday...
Latest obs and buoy reports reveal predominate E-SE winds 10-15 kt
over the waters this morning. Gradient flow has slackened slightly
this morning, but will tighten again later today and tonight between
high pressure to the northeast, and the remnants of Florence, which
will lift well west of the waters today through Tuesday night. Have
maintained SCA on coastal waters, mainly for seas. Winds veer around
to become more southerly today and tonight. Have also hoisted SCA
over the Ches Bay, beginning tonight. Hi-Res models do indicate
potential for low end SCA as early as early to mid afternoon.
However, best LLJ support looks to arrive tonight, and for that
reason will cap winds at 15 kt this aftn, with SCA winds over the
Bay tonight. A cold front crosses the waters Tue night...with
another window of SCA winds possible in post-frontal NNW surge as
drier air spreads into the region into Wed morning.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
As of 535 AM EDT Monday...
Gauges and public/spotter observations have indicated elevated
water levels along the Albemarle and Currituck Sounds, and
adjacent rivers. Nuisance soundside flooding early this morning
over low-lying areas has also produced some road closures. This
is likely due to a persistent east wind combined with strong
wave action along the Atlantic coast. This has likely limited
the flow of water through the inlets into the ocean as has
resulted in the rise in water levels in the sounds and adjacent
rivers. Water levels have begun to level off a bit over the past
few hours this morning, so will allow statement to expire this
morning and continue to monitor.
Coastal Flood Advisories no longer in effect for the upper
Bay.However, will need to watch for another round of increasing
tidal departures over the Ches Bay...esp on the lower MD ern
shore (Cambridge/Bishops Head/Crisfield) and around Lewisetta
as wind speeds increase slightly from the SSW this evening.
Current forecast accounts for reaching low end minor thresholds
at Lewisetta/Cambridge/Bishops Head. However, due to marginal
nature of expected impacts during 2nd forecast period, have
held off w/headline for now.
