What happened
The episode as NWS RLX wrote it up.
The total precipitation was mostly in the 0.5 to 1.5 inch range. Normal amounts are 3.5 to 4.25 inches. The driest amounts from preliminary reports were only 0.27 inches at Pineville, 0.35 inches at Welch, 0.37 inches at Bartow, 0.53 inches at Marlinton, and 0.57 inches at Elkhorn. At Beckley, the 0.66 inches was the driest November on record for that community. Considering all months of the year, it was the 11th driest month at Beckley. At Elkins, the 0.86 inches was the 3rd driest November. Even in the usual damp upslope mountains, Kumbrabow State Forest had only 0.88 inches. As surface water declined, many small streams stopped running. Wildlife and birds had difficulty finding water. The USGS reported river gauges, such as Webster Springs on the upper Elk River, had several daily record low flows during the month.
