A squall line developed ahead of a strong autumn cold front.  The front was associated with the record setting low pressure system lifting northeast through Minnesota into Canada.  The front passed through West Virginia during the late afternoon and early evening.  Strong to severe wind gusts occurred near the squall line and in its wake.  The leading squall line began to weaken as it moved further east into West Virginia.  Temperatures dropped rapidly from around 80 degrees to near 60 degrees.
