Read the full account →An upper level disturbance parked over the Ohio Valley resulted in afternoon showers and thunderstorms on the 18th and 19th across portions of West Virginia. This spawned local flooding issues in Calhoun and Webster Counties.
Read the full account →On the 23rd a surface boundary was stalled across southern West Virginia. It slowly moved north as a warm front on the 24th and 25th as a surface low crossed the region. This low then pushed a cold front through on the 26th and 27th.
