Mar 15, 2012
A mid and upper level disturbance dropped southeast during the morning. Well south of any organized surface front, the air was moisture laden. This triggered rounds of showers and thunderstorms dropping from southeast Ohio into southern West Virginia during the early morning hours. The ground was already wetter than normal. The emerging spring vegetation had not become a major consumer of water. The strongest thunderstorms did contain some hail, but small stream flooding was the main issue.|
