An east to west front sliced through central West Virginia and southern Ohio on the 8th.  A band of rain was seen during the morning along and north of this boundary.  New convection formed during the early afternoon south of the front.  The steering flow was from the northwest at about 35 to 40 mph.  Despite the fast flow, hail was the main element, rather than damaging wind gusts.
Behind the first line of convection, a second batch formed in eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia.  This caused some local training across Lincoln County into Logan and Wyoming Counties into the evening hours.  The town of Logan measured over 2 inches for one of the heaviest amounts.  This rain helped saturate the ground for another rain event, less than 24 hours later, on the 9th.
