Thunderstorms existed at dawn on the 8th in Indiana.  With support for the mid and upper level winds, this mesoscale convective complex maintained its intensity through the morning.  It raced southeast at 50 mph into western West Virginia during the afternoon. Most areas saw brief wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph and rains of a quarter to a half inch.  A stronger wind gust was observed by the Elkins airport.
A few stronger cells formed on the southwestern inflow portion of this complex and moved into Mingo and McDowell Counties.
After a lull, additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms moved into West Virginia after sunset.  These showers caused flooding overnight into the 9th across northern counties.  Most of the flooding was minor.
Distinct thunderstorm cells formed during the afternoon on the 9th.  Hail was associated with the stronger storms.  One storm, that showed considerable mid level rotation moved into Wood County.  No evidence of a tornado was found.
Widespread showers along the cold front followed during the morning of the 10th. This final round of showers caused some minor flooding.  Middlebourne had 1.8 inches of rain from both the Thursday convection and the final round of showers early on the 10th.
In the wake of the cold front, drier air finally moved into the state during the afternoon of the 10th.
Eventually, another disaster was declared by the federal government.  See FEMA disaster 4220 for more information.
