Low pressure was situated north of the region in the lower Great Lakes during the afternoon of June 16th. A warm front was draped from Lake Erie south and east through Maryland and the Delmarva Peninsula, with a well-developed warm sector in place to the south and west of this boundary. By the afternoon, surface temperatures had warmed into the low to mid 80s across southern Ohio and most of West Virginia. A moist and unstable air mass was in place, with surface dew points in the mid to upper 60s and nearly 3000j/kg of ML CAPE analyzed by RUC analysis. 500 mb flow was near 50 knots and a possible large-scale damaging wind event was expected. Thunderstorms developed in east-central Ohio near the I-70 corridor after 2pm and moved south and east over the Ohio Valley and into West Virginia. There were several reports of large hail and wind damage with these thunderstorms across the state. Wind damage reports were particularly numerous in the central WV mountains, including the Tygart Valley in Randolph County as well as throughout Webster, Upshur, and Lewis counties.
