A disturbance crossing the region brought several rounds of rain and storms across West Virginia between the 6th and 7th of May. On the afternoon and evening of the 7th, one to two inches of heavy rain accompanied a line of convection and led to localized flash flooding on two roads in McDowell and Wyoming counties. Flooding then came to an end once storms departed the area that evening.
