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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Blacksburg, VA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 6, 2:39 PM EDT, 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 6, 2:39 PM EDT, 37 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
239 PM EDT Fri May 6 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure was over the Mid Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys
this afternoon with a front extending from the low into the
Carolinas. This low will track slowly east tonight and Saturday
bringing several periods of showers and thunderstorms through
Sunday. As the low moves offshore, high pressure builds in with
drier and warmer weather for Monday and Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Friday...

Severe thunderstorms remain a threat this afternoon into tonight.

Tornado Watch 186 in effect until 8 pm.
Tornado Watch 187 in effect until 10 pm.

Several rounds of convection expected this afternoon into tonight.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop along and ahead of
the cold front as it moves east tonight into Saturday. Strong to
severe are possible this afternoon into tonight. Locally enhanced
low level shear along the warm front will elevate the threat of a
tornado this afternoon. Overall helicity of 200/300 m2/s2 and
Convective Available Potential Energy in the 1000-2000 J/Kg range
support the severe threat. Pockets of low clouds and fog will
develop overnight especially where it rains. Low temperatures will
be in the upper 40s in the mountains to the mid 50s in the piedmont.
A closed upper level low will slowly directly overhead Saturday.
This low should steepen the lapse rates aloft and continue to bring
showers through Saturday with maybe a few thunderstorms in the
afternoon. High temperatures Saturday will climb into the lower 50s
in the mountains to the lower 70s in the piedmont.

Moderate confidence in the Near Term Forecast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 230 PM EDT Friday...

Dry conditions return for the start of the week...

A closed upper level low will be just north of the area and then
track eastward, heading off the coast of the Delmarva Peninsula by
Sunday morning. Upper level ridging starts building into the area,
extending from the Gulf of Mexico up near the Great Lakes. These two
features establish decent north/northeasterly flow at 500mb.

At the surface, the low pressure center slowly moves off to the
North Carolina coast by Saturday night, and with it, decreasing our
chances of showers and storms by the nighttime hours. Surface high
pressure will sit to the north of the surface low in Eastern Canada,
setting up a blocking pattern for the beginning of the week. Winds
on the order of 10 to 20 mph from the north/northeast will dominate
Sunday into Monday as we sit between these two features.

Temperatures are a bit cooler for this period, thanks to the
northerly flow, but we do stay dry through this period once the low
pressure system moves offshore by Saturday evening.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Friday...

Another round of shower and storm chances later in the week...

The influence of the surface high pressure sitting to our north will
keep us dry for the middle of the week. However, the surface low
pressure that will have crossed the area on Saturday will continue
to spin off the coast of the Southeastern US. By the end of the
week, this will drift back westward, getting closer to the coast. As
it approaches for the second half to end of the week, it will
increase the possibility of another round of associated showers and
storms. However, models differ in when the low will get close enough
to the coast to bring the precipitation chances.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 140 PM EDT Friday...

Low pressure was over the Mid Mississippi Valley with a front
extending from the low into the Carolinas will track east this
afternoon into Saturday. Winds will be out of the east to
southeast on the north side of this boundary. As the front lifts
north through the region the wind will turn to the southwest.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop ahead of the
front. The most likely of timing of thunderstorms based on many
Hi- Res convective allowing models is from 19Z/3PM through
03Z/11PM. Strong gusty wind and large hail are possible this
afternoon and evening, especially in central and eastern
Virginia and North Carolina.

Average confidence on ceiling, visibility and wind.
Below average confidence on timing of thunderstorms this
afternoon and evening at any specific airport.

Extended Aviation Discussion...

A deep upper low will bring several rounds of showers with
associated MVFR conditions for the Saturday and Sunday.Late
night and early morning IFR/LIFR fog will be possible,
especially where it rains. Clouds will remain Monday and Tuesday
with sub-VFR ceilings still likely but dry weather is expected.
