Apr 30, 2020
Low pressure and an adjoining surface cold front crossed through West Virginia on the last day of April. Excessive rainfall amounts due to heavy downpours and training thunderstorms resulted in a rise along the creeks and rivers along the northeast West Virginia mountains. These water bodies returned to their banks late on the 30th, but did result in minor flooding before doing so.
