The radar
The Roanoke radar (KFCX), 61 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 20:54 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 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.
The nearest sounding before it
Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 8.9 hours before the alert went out and 53 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, Jul 26, 3:45 PM EDT, 1 hour 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
345 PM EDT Tue Jul 26 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
A stationary front will extend from the DelMarVa to the Mid
Mississippi Valley tonight through Friday. Several periods of
showers and thunderstorms are expected until the front
potentially pushes just south of the region on Friday. Flooding
will be an on going threat through the end of the week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 320 PM EDT Tuesday...
No change to Flood Watch.
Satellite images had showed a few breaks in the clouds in the
foothills and piedmont of Virginia and North Carolina. This
provided enough heating to lower Lifted Index values and raise
Convective Available Potential Energy to about 2500 J/kg.
Clusters of thunderstorms will continue across this area with
gusty wind from any of the stronger cells. Hi-Res models keep
thunderstorms ongoing through 23-00Z/7-8PM.
Meanwhile, closer to the front a persistent band of showers and
embedded thunderstorms extended from southern West Virginia into
central Virginia. Little change in the orientation of this
precipitation for tonight and Wednesday. Probability of
precipitation will be highest from southeast West Virginia and
lowest in the North Carolina piedmont.
The coverage and intensity of precipitation will be at a
relative minimum between midnight and 8AM. Although the
precipitation will not completely end, coverage will be less.
After sunset in locations with in between rounds of rain, patchy
fog will develop. Persistence and NBM guidance used for lows
tonight will limited cooling potential due to such high dew
points.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 245 PM EDT Tuesday...
Stalled front will provide wet weather through
the end of the week.
A stalled stationary front currently lays across our region, and
throughout the week, it will drift north and south, but generally
will stay near the CWA. No particular day seems to be highlighted by
model guidance as the most intense rainfall or greatest risk of
severe weather. The danger with the weather this week lies in the
persistence of the boundary encouraging showers and storms with
potentially high rain rates for several days in a row. As the ground
becomes saturated after early week rains, flooding becomes more
likely as heavy rain falls on areas that have no ability to absorb
the moisture, thus creating significant runoff in addition.
PWAT values will be near 2 inches for most of the week, so there
will be no issue with access to moisture for the storms this week.
The greatest focus for the rain will be along and west of the Blue
Ridge, with our mountain areas being highlighted for moderate or
slight risk of excessive rain the remainder of the workweek.
By Friday a cold front will move southeast out of the OH River
Valley, grabbing the stationary front and moving it out of the area,
but eventually sagging and stalling out itself somewhere over the
east coast. The final resting location of this second front will
determine how active Friday's rain will be.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 245 PM EDT Tuesday...
More rain on tap in the extended forecast.
As this second front sags south and basically replaces the previous
stalled front, daily showers and storms will continue to affect the
area. How far south the new boundary sags into the Carolinas will
determine our weekend weather, further south may provide us a break,
but nearer the NC/VA boundary would keep the rain coming. Patterns
in the models do agree that the stationary boundary will slowly lift
north in the early portion of next week, which, again, will affect
us differently depending on how far south it starts. To express the
uncertainty while acknowledging the presence of a front to provide
forcing for showers, have broadly left chance PoPs for most of the
long term forecast period.
Temperatures in the extended forecast will be mild, as we look to be
a few degrees below normal this weekend and early next week.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 320 PM EDT Tuesday...
Satellite images had showed a few breaks in the clouds in the
foothills and piedmont of Virginia and North Carolina. Ceilings
were VFR. This provided enough heating to lower Lifted Index
values and raise Convective Available Potential Energy to about
2500 J/kg. Ceilings will drop to MVFR after midnight.
Clusters of thunderstorms with MVFR ceilings and visibility will
continue across this area with gusty wind from any of the
stronger cells. Hi-Res models keep thunderstorms ongoing
through 23-00Z/7-8PM.
Meanwhile, closer to the front a persistent band of showers and
embedded thunderstorms extended from southern West Virginia into
central Virginia with widespread MVFR to IFR ceilings. Little
change in the orientation of this precipitation for tonight and
Wednesday.
The coverage and intensity of precipitation will be at a
relative minimum between midnight and 8AM. Although the
precipitation will not completely end, coverage will be less.
After sunset in locations with in between rounds of rain, patchy
MVFR fog will develop. KBLF may lower to IFR due to a persistent
westerly component in the surface and low level wind.
Average confidence for ceiling, visibility and wind.
.Extended Aviation Discussion...
The front will meander and linger about the region throughout
the week with periods of showers/thunderstorms, mainly favoring
the afternoon/evening hours. The abundant moisture and daily
precipitation will result in areas of dense late night/early
morning fog/low clouds with MVFR or lower conditions.
Another front will approach the area on Saturday and may briefly
push the deepest moisture farther south into the Carolinas.
Confidence in this occurring is low at this point with the more
likely scenario for the front to linger close to the
Virginia/North Carolina border.
Some periods of VFR will occur between late night/early morning
fog and afternoon showers and thunderstorms, especially east of
the Blue Ridge.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
As of 320 PM EDT Tuesday...
Flood Watch for Excessive Rainfall remains in effect for the
foothills west through the mountains.
Precipitable water values from the 12Z/8AM at RNK were
1.83 inches and at GSO 2.05 inches, both well above normal.
Based on current FFG and expected precipitation through the
rest of the evening, as well as where heavier rain has fallen
in the past 48 hours, the flash flood threat continues.
