Thunderstorms flourished across West Virginia on the afternoon and evening of June 21st as a cold front glided through the region. Many of these storms became severe and caused damaging winds to knock down trees ahead of the front's passage. Early in the afternoon, a Mesonet station in Ritchie County measured a 52 mile per hour wind gust as the first round of thunderstorms propagated eastward. Later that evening, a second burst of storms arrived, with a 48 mile per hour wind gust being measured at the Clarksburg airport. With saturated grounds already present ahead of these storms, an instance of flash flooding was observed in Wood County, where several roads became impassible for a brief period of time.
