A northwest flow, with disturbances aloft, dominated the area for this episode. A west to east frontal system lay well to the north, across northern Ohio early Wednesday morning.
One large complex of storms dropped southeast through portions of north central West Virginia into the northern mountains of West Virginia during the predawn hours.   Maximum rain amounts of 2 to 3 inches fell 3 to 4 hours over portions of Harrison, Taylor, and Barbour Counties.  This caused some minor flash flooding.
The cold front moved further south during the day on the 28th, to near a Pittsburgh to Columbus line by late afternoon. After a lull in the rain, the afternoon heating combined with the instability and moisture to cause another round of thunderstorms and showers during the late afternoon and early evening.
The heaviest rains with this second round were slightly further south in West Virginia.  The maximum amounts were also less than the predawn round, mostly in the 1 to 2 inch range.  Yet, due to the wet ground, some minor flash flooding occurred again.  One storm pulsed to a severe level in Braxton County.
The maximum rain totals from the 2 rounds were 3 to 5 inches.
In the wake of these rains, strong rises occurred along the Tygart Valley, the Greenbrier, and the Cheat River basins.  On the 29th, the Tygart Valley River at Belington created just above its 14 foot flood stage, but caused no significant damage.  Along the Shavers Fork, some camp grounds near Bowden were evacuated.
