Strong mid level dynamics overcame low buoyancy to reform showers in southern Ohio during the late afternoon. The showers were efficient rain producers as they moved east into West Virginia. A small area of repetitive showers occurred over southern Wood County, between Rockport and Mineral Wells. Rain amounts of 2.5 to 3 inches, in just over 2 hours, were likely over portions of the Tygart and Slate Creek basins.
