The wider storm

A slow moving closed upper level low originating from the Gulf of America brought anomalous moisture into the area. A long duration period of rain ensued, with rain rates exceeding two inches an hour during the afternoon of May 13th. The slow moving storms coupled with training led to localized rainfall totals of four to eight inches across Mineral County, WV, with lesser amounts of two to four inches across the rest of the eastern panhandle. Most of this rain fell in a 6 hour period, resulting in flash flooding especially across Mineral County.

Began near Fame (38.7664, -79.1703).
