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
Cncnati-Daytn, OH (KILN), launched 12:00Z, 0.9 hours before the alert went out and 194 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.

30What 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.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 6:07 AM EDT, 2 hours 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston WV 607 AM EDT Wed Jun 10 2026 .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. && .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. && .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. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium. ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing and coverage of showers and thunderstorms may vary from the forecast.

Brief periods of IFR visibility possible in thunderstorms each day and even at night through Friday. Episodes of late night and early morning IFR or worse fog and/or stratus are also possible this week, largely dependent upon where rainfall occurs, most likely early Saturday morning as high pressure builds in behind a cold front that crosses Friday afternoon and night. && .RLX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
