A strong, well defined mid level circulation lifted northeast into eastern Kentucky by late afternoon.  Ahead of this disturbance, cellular convection formed and moved north into southern West Virginia.  New convection formed up the mountain counties, reaching into Upshur County.  Local downpours of .5 to .75 inches of rain in 15 minutes, and 1 to 2 inches of rain in less than 2 hours occurred.  The most widespread area of heavy rain occurred over the Laurel Fork and Clear Fork basins in northern Wyoming County.  Most of the flash flooding was minor and occurred along the small runs and feeder streams.  Water flowed across and blocked roads.  The larger creeks and headwater rivers remained within their banks.
The most persistent showers formed along the border of McDowell County with Mercer County and Tazewell County in Virginia. The heaviest rain, upwards of 4 inches, remained in Mercer County, with only minor flash flooding in McDowell County.
