A cold front passing through the area on February 17th resulted in periods of moderate to heavy rainfall. High water was observed along the roads of several counties in the western WV lowlands. This also led to Middle Island Creek in Tyler County to rise out of its banks in the towns of Little and Middlebourne and inflict minor flooding in fields that reside in close vicinity to the creek. The rain ended overnight into the morning of the 18th once the cold front completed its passage.
