| Episode Narrative | A strong east to west front was positioned near the Route 50 corridor. Thunderstorms formed during the mid and late afternoon and moved east through central West Virginia. Downpours were most common, with localized amounts of a half inch in 15 minutes. One storm pulsed to strong levels as it moved out of Ritchie County into Gilmer County. The same thunderstorm cluster also produced an EF1 tornado in Upshur County. |
| Event Narrative | Multiple trees were snapped, twisted, and broken along the path near Queens. Several buildings sustained roof and property damage. The National Weather Service survey team estimated the strongest wind gusts around 100 mph. |
