Several lines of showers and thunderstorms formed in Ohio and West Virginia. Surface dew points were in the low and mid 70s. The less organized clusters, that were in West Virginia, began to train along a portion of the Interstate 64 corridor during the evening. This area was already wet from previous rains. The downpours tended to build west from Putnam County back into Cabell County.
