What the National Weather Service wrote

Report of flooding along Homewood Road.

The wider storm

Subtle shortwave-induced ascent along a stalled frontal boundary invigorated showers and thunderstorms. On the gradient of a rich PWAT air (1.9-2.0), 1500-2000 J/kg MUCAPE, and 25-30 knots of effective shear, slow moving showers and storms along the boundary resulted in very localized flash flooding.

Began near Fairmont (39.4751, -80.1282).
