Several waves of low pressure moved through the middle Ohio River Valley and central Appalachians on the 28th and 29th. Each wave produced a round of showers, with some heavy rain pockets. Across the northern mountains of West Virginia, 1-3 inches of snow remained on the ground as the rain started, which quickly melted, adding to the runoff. The combination of the rain and wet ground conditions, lead to minor flooding of some waterways.
