The tail end of a cold front in accompaniment with an upper level disturbance crossed through West Virginia on the 25th and resulted in wind damage across the state. Initial storm development was scattered, but then congealed into a line pushing south and eastward, resulting in locally damaging winds and a few instances of flash flooding. The most notable damage was to the video board of Marshall University's football stadium, but widespread downed trees and power lines were also observed.
