An upper level disturbance crossed into West Virginia on August 3rd, which set the stage for scattered showers and thunderstorms that afternoon. Some thunderstorms grew strong enough to inflict damaging wind gusts and resulted in downed trees in Roane, Jackson, and Putnam Counties.
Heavy downpours associated with the afternoon and evening storms also resulted in localized flooding issues in Putnam County. Local weather stations observed between two to three inches of rainfall had fallen in the county that evening. State Route 34 was closed near the Arby's in Teays Valley that night in both directions due to high water.
