An upper level disturbance crossed through West Virginia from the west on August 19th, leading to showers with moderate to heavy rainfall expanding in coverage across the area throughout the day. Due to the rainfall received with the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred the previous day, soil across the area was already saturated in many locations. This caused several locations to be more susceptible to flooding issues. High water was observed over roads in multiple locations throughout West Virginia, with some of these roads becoming impassable for a time.
