A warm front, associated with a low pressure system approaching from the west of the area, moved from south to north across the Ohio Valley during the morning of March 23rd, providing rain showers to the area. The cold front, also associated with this system, then moved into the Ohio Valley during the afternoon and evening, ahead of which showers and strong thunderstorms formed. The strongest storms produced hail, the largest of which was 1.75 inches in Putnam County. Additionally, multiple trees were blown down across West Virginia, with one tree falling onto a power line.
