Event narrative

Report of flooded roadway at intersection of Freedom Way and Main Street in Weirton.

Wider weather episode

A passing shortwave and remnant MCS outflow was enough to initiate some scattered afternoon showers and storms. Impacts were not widespread, however training storms in an environment with 1000 J/kg MUCAPE and 1.7-1.9 PWAT was sufficient for very localized flooding.
