| Episode Narrative |
High pressure over the western Atlantic was responsible for a hot and humid air mass in place. An upper-level disturbance in the zonal flow triggered showers and thunderstorms across portions of West Virginia. Moderate amounts of instability due to the hot and humid air mass caused an isolated thunderstorm to produce damaging winds. |
| Event Narrative |
Wind gusts were estimated up to 60 mph in a thunderstorm near Oak Flat. |
