The remnants of Hurricane Ida surged into West Virginia on the first day of September and interacted with a stalled frontal boundary near the area. This inflicted heavy rainfall across the state and resulted in multiple instances of flash flooding, especially in Barbour County where multiple reports of flooded basements occurred. High water issues arose on several heavily trafficked roadways in Central and Northern West Virginia, which prompted temporary road closures. The highest rainfall totals occurred in Randolph County of 4.5 inches, but a notable 2 to 3.5 inches of rain was also observed in Upshur County, where a multitude of flash flooding events occurred.
In Clay County, a surge of strong winds that occurred within the remnants of Ida resulted in several trees and power lines to be blown down in the town of Clay and Big Otter.
