KBPT recorded a wind gust of 67 mph.
Tropical moisture was forced northward from the Gulf of Mexico on May 23rd, overrunning a cold front draped across central North Carolina.  High pressure extended southward across the Mid-Atlantic, wedged against the eastern face of the Appalachian chain, resulting in upslope east to southeasterly windflow from the Piedmont into the mountains. Atmospheric moisture was abundant, given strong southerly flow around low pressure near the Gulf coast transporting moist air rapidly northward, resulting in precipitable water values ranging from 1.3 to 1.5 inches across the mountains of West Virginia, roughly 2 standard deviations above normal for the month of May.  Rainfall totals across the East River basin varied from 2.5 to 3.5 inches over an 18 hour period. However, the stabilizing effect of the high pressure kept CAPE values low, strictly limiting to preventing convective development.  As such, rainfall was prolonged, however rainfall rates seldom exceeded 0.5 inches per hour.
