Daytime heating and an abundance of moisture stirred up afternoon showers and thunderstorms across West Virginia from June 25th to the 27th. The first round of convection on the 25th resulted in several trees down around Central West Virginia while flash flooding took center stage on the 26th and 27th. The town of Flatwoods observed flooding of local businesses as a result of Granny Creek rising out of its banks from all the heavy downpours within passing thunderstorms.
