The wider storm

A frontal boundary swung into the Central Appalachians on July 12th and interrupted quiet weather provided by high pressure the day prior. Initially, showers and storms evolved along the front across Ohio and then spread eastward into West Virginia that afternoon and evening. Strong winds, large hail, and heavy downpours encompassed these showers and storms, leading to instances of tree damage and high water issues across the state.

Began near Durbin (38.5500, -79.8100).
