A disturbance in the winds aloft tracked into the mountainous counties by late afternoon. This feature, along with outflow boundaries from earlier afternoon convection, helped to focus thunderstorms. Local downpours occurred around Hurley of Buchanan County and Haysi of Dickenson County. |
| Event Narrative |
Rain estimates of 2 to 4 inches in less than 3 hours caused flash flooding on small streams and runs. The Knox Creek basin flooded including its Guess Fork and Cedar Branch. Roads and private bridges were flooded and damaged. No dwelling damage was reported to county emergency services. |
