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.

What forecasters said that day

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

NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jun 10, 6:07 AM EDT, 2 hours 49 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • 1) The current stretch of active summer weather continues through Friday, with mainly diurnally-driven showers and thunderstorms. Ongoing showers and thunderstorms this morning are tied to an upper level disturbance, which exits this afternoon. Afternoon and evening thunderstorms could be strong to severe, especially Thursday and Friday, with a cold front crossing Friday afternoon and night. Repetitive or training storms could prompt flash flooding, including early this morning.
  • 2) Very warm to hot and muggy conditions continue this week. Given the current extended stretch of very warm and humid weather, heat safety will be important, especially Thursday, which is likely to be the hottest day of this current stretch.
  • 3) The cold front that crosses Friday afternoon and night brings a break in the heat, humidity and the shower and thunderstorm activity this weekend. Systems bring active weather during the upcoming work week, but temperatures remain near seasonable levels, and the humidity remains manageable.

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Localized flash flooding is possible with convection over
southern portions of the forecast area early this morning.
There are slight Risks for Severe Thunderstorms for the mid
afternoon to early evening hours both Thursday and Friday.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

Showers and thunderstorms entering, and forming in, the middle
Ohio Valley early this morning, were tied to a mid/upper-level
short wave trough, which exits this afternoon. Thunderstorms
this morning will continue to have the potential for heavy
downpours given precipitable water values peaking in the 2-2.25
inch range, as well as strong wind gusts within the heavy
downbursts, and pockets of modest shear through 8 km associated
with the short wave.

The Weather Prediction Center continues their Marginal Risk for
Excessive Rainfall for southwestern portions of the forecast
area Tuesday for today where the lead outflow boundary and
trailing boundary laid down by a weakening convective complex
can focus the heaviest and most numerous cells this morning.
They have also added a Marginal Risk area in northeast WV, the
tail end of a larger area over the northeastern U.S. with the
exiting short wave trough.

The Weather Prediction Center has also issued a Mesoscale
Precipitation Discussion for southern portions of the forecast
area through early this morning, citing the well-defined mid-
level vort center advancing eastward across the lower Ohio
Valley as evident on GOES-R imagery, and moisture and
instability transport fed by the 40 kt nocturnal low level jet
as evident on RLX VAD wind profile.

Showers and thunderstorms end, or at least decreases in
coverage, from west to east this afternoon as the system exits.
However, as the clouds scatter out this afternoon, heating could
allow additional thunderstorms to pop up. Coverage is expected
to be scattered at most, but any storms that do pop up can
produce stronger wind gusts, and the Storm Prediction Center
keeps the northeast half of the forecast area within the
southern extent of a Marginal Severe Thunderstorm Risk area, for
a damaging wind threat. This is where CAPE, and shear through 8
km, are forecast to be higher, and where CAMs suggest
development.

A mid/upper-level ridge crosses Wednesday night through
Thursday night, but with embedded flat waves, most notably
Thursday afternoon. Models continue to advertise high CAPE, 3-4
KJ/kg, Thursday afternoon, amid a very warm and moist
environment that features h85 temperatures near 20 C, h850
theta e values as high as 350 K, PW values of around 1.75
inches and surface dew points potentially in the low to mid 70s.

While shear will be weak, the juicy, very unstable air couple
with the flat wave could support robust storms capable of heavy
rainfall which could lead to locally strong to severe
microbursts, as well as high rainfall rates.

The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded the Marginal Risk for
Severe Thunderstorms Thursday to a Slight Risk for almost all
of WV, with a Marginal Risk for the remainder of the area. With
the high diurnally driven CAPE, and the afternoon timing of the
flat wave, probably also diurnally induced, the Strong to
Severe Thunderstorm threat Thursday is strongly tied to diurnal
heating.

Isolated damaging wind gusts, localized flash flooding and hail
are all possible with stronger cores from mid afternoon into
the early evening hours Thursday.

Broad long wave troughing sets up over the center of the
continent during the latter portion of the work week, easing
eastward to the central to eastern portion of the continent this
weekend. The ridging gives way to lead next mid/upper-level
short wave trough as the long wave trough eases east Thursday
night through Friday, pushing a surface cold front toward the
area.

Adding synoptic-scale forcing and modest shear to the very
moist and unstable air mass only solidifies the Severe
Thunderstorm and Flash Flood threats for Friday afternoon and
early evening, The Storm Prediction Center has a Slight Risk for
Severe Thunderstorms for the area Friday, while the Weather
Prediction Center continues the Marginal Risk for Excessive
Rainfall they has been carrying for the forecast area, in a
long ribbon all along and ahead of the approaching cold front,
for the Appalachians and Ohio Valley, and then back westward
through the south-central Plains States.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

With mid/upper-level heights rebuilding in the wake of the
short wave exiting today, above average temperatures return, to
go along with the persistent high humidity of late, with lowland
highs in the upper 80s to low 90s Thursday and Friday, and
lowland dew points and overnight lows in the upper 60s to mid
70s through Friday.

A relative lull in shower and thunderstorm Thursday allows it
to be the hottest day of the week. Lowland highs in the low 90s,
together with dew points in the low to mid 70s, will drive heat
indices to close to 100 degrees F for a time Thursday
afternoon. This may eventually warrant Heat Advisories for
portions of the lowlands for Thursday afternoon.

Heat and humidity will be high again ahead of the cold front on
Friday, with at least eastern portions of the lowlands, nearest
the mountains, again flirting with Heat indices near 100 degrees F.
The cold front finally breaks the heat for this weekend and
into the upcoming work week.

Global Ensemble-based probabilities of high temperatures
exceeding 90 degrees F are very low today, but then range up to
50 percent Thursday, before dropping back some on Friday.
However, h85 temperatures as high as 20 C Thursday can support
lowland highs as high as 95. On the other hand, HREF
probabilities of hourly apparent temperatures reaching or
exceeding 100 F are near 0. Global Ensemble-based probabilities
of high temperatures of 90 are slim to none this weekend and
the beginning of the upcoming work week.

KEY MESSAGE 3...

The cold front crossing the area Friday afternoon and night,
driven by the forward progress of the long wave trough into the
eastern U.S., brings the promise of dry weather Saturday,
complete with lower dew points, breaking the ad nauseum of
active summer weather.

However, the active portion of the pattern returns, as another
mid/upper-level short wave trough backs the mid/upper-level flow
as it approaches early next week. A weaker short wave trough
ahead of it could bring the return of unsettled weather as early
as Sunday afternoon, before the main short wave drives another
surface cold front into the area early in the next work week.

It may take until midweek for a more amplified mid/upper-level
short wave trough to drive the cold front cleanly through the
area. In the mean time, the wavy front maintains active weather
with showers and mainly afternoon and evening thunderstorms.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Thunderstorms today are more likely this morning, rather than
this afternoon like one would normally expect. Showers and
thunderstorms in the area early this morning could impact TAF
sites throughout morning, even into early this afternoon at
BKW, CKB and EKN. Have continued VCTS/CB with the chance for
MVFR conditions in rain at all sites, except chance TSRA at HTS
and CRW. A direct hit of any thunderstorm today could drop
flight categories down to IFR or lower.

The morning timing is tied to a weak upper level disturbance,
which exits the area this afternoon. However, the clouds will
scatter out by the early to mid afternoon, with VFR returning
area-wide. This will allow heating this afternoon, and
additional thunderstorms could pop up. Anticipated coverage is
too low to include in TAFs for later this afternoon, but any
storms that do pop up can produce stronger wind gusts, and PKB,
CKB and EKN remain within the southern extent of a Marginal
Severe Thunderstorm Risk area from the Storm Prediction Center
for a damaging wind threat.

Sunset and upper-level ridging will allow for a VFR night
tonight.

Light south to southwest surface flow early this morning will
become gusty southwest later this morning, to 15 to20 kts
outside thunderstorms, and than light southwest later this
afternoon. Flow aloft will generally be light to moderate west,
with enough low level flow to preclude or at least minimize fog
and low clouds overnight tonight.
