As a strengthening low pressure system lifted north through the Great Lakes into Ontario, strong winds aloft mixed down to the ground during the late morning and afternoon. Surface temperatures were still in the mid 60s to lower 70s with sunshine.  The cold air advection aloft aided in the downward momentum transfer.
Wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph were common.  The strongest measured gust was 57 mph at Yeager Airport near Charleston. Huntington and Clarksburg both measured a 51 mph gust. The Mason County Airport recorded a 50 mph gust.
Electrical outages occurred, mostly due to weak tree limbs falling on overhead lines.   Kanawha and Cabell Counties both had around 2,300 customers without electricity temporarily.  Around 2,100 customers in Wayne County lost electricity.  The other counties had less electric outages.  The wind also damaged a roof to a warehouse in Charleston.
