Several days of dry weather allowed rivers and streams to recede before slow-moving low pressure over the Ohio valley lifted north within a broad upper level trough that was pushing into a building subtropical ridge off the southeast U.S. coast. 24-hour rainfall ending 12Z on the 11th was heaviest over the western mountains with amounts ranging from 0.50 to 1 inch in southeast West Virginia. A number of areal Flood Warnings were issued as snowmelt made a considerable contribution to the runoff.
