The episode as NWS RLX wrote it up.
In the humidity of a waning heat wave, a mid level disturbance help trigger showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon.
Downpours and frequent lightning were common. Localized downbursts caused some wind damage.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
205 PM EDT FRI JUL 19 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER HIGH PRESSURE DISSIPATING AS UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES GREAT
LAKES. A COLD FRONT SAGS SLOWLY SOUTHWARD INTO THE AREA THIS
WEEKEND...AND LIFTS BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SCATTERED CONVECTION ONGOING ACROSS ENTIRE CWA. APPEARS TO BE JUST
AHEAD OF VORT MAX IN EASTERN KY PER WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. EXPECT
VORT MAX TO MOVE ACROSS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND
SHOULD SEE DECREASING CONVECTION AS WE HEAD AFTER SUNSET WITH
LOSS OF HEATING AND VORT MAX MOVING OUT TO THE NORTHEAST.
ELONGATED LINEAR VORT MAX...WELL AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...WILL
MOVE INTO FORECAST AREA FROM NW TOMORROW. ENTERING NW CWA 12Z-15Z
AND THEN RUNNING FROM ABOUT HTS-EKN BY END OF NEAR TERM AT 00Z
SUN. TIED LIKELY POPS TO THIS TIME/AREA TREND AS WELL. ALSO
INCLUDED HEAVY RAIN MENTION WITH LIKELY POPS. THINK WE WILL BE ON
THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF ANY ORGANIZED SEVERE THREAT. BEST CHANCE
FOR ANY ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER WOULD BE A COMPLEX THAT FORMS
ALONG THE FRONT TO OUR NW AND THEN ARRIVES INTO OUR SE OHIO
COUNTIES IN THE EVENING WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE MOST LIKELY THREAT.
HOWEVER AS HEIGHTS AND FREEZING LEVELS DROP A BIT...LOCAL
DOWNPOURS...GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL POSSIBLE IN ANY STRONGER
CELLS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
THE HIGH THAT HAS BEEN OVER THE FORECAST AREA FOR THE LAST WEEK
FINALLY GETS MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AS THE MUCH TALKED ABOUT FRONT
MOVES SOUTH FROM THE GREAT LAKES ON SATURDAY. AS THE FRONT MOVES
SOUTH SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY IT STALLS ACROSS THE AREA AND WILL
INFLUENCE THE WEATHER THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. POPS INCREASE
BY SATURDAY NIGHT WITH LIKELY ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA
OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY. SOME STORMS ON SATURDAY COULD BE STRONG TO
SEVERE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY...WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING GUSTY
WINDS AND MARGINAL LARGE HAIL. WITH THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY
ACROSS THE AREA RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
FOCUSED THE BETTER CHANCE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COAL FIELDS AND
VIRGINIA COUNTIES. THIS COULD CHANGE DEPENDING UPON WHERE THE FRONT
ACTUALLY STALLS.
TEMPERATURES REMAIN WARM AT LEAST THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH HIGH DEW
POINTS...SO HEAT CONCERNS WILL CONTINUE. WITH THE FRONT ACROSS THE
AREA ON SUNDAY THE TEMPERATURES DROP ENOUGH FOR THE HEAT TO NOT BE
AS MUCH OF A CONCERN.
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
UNSETTLED WEATHER CONTINUES. THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
PROVIDE A FOCUSING MECHANISM THROUGH TUESDAY FOR SEVERAL SHORT
WAVES. THEN IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER FRONT COULD COME ACROSS THE AREA
TUESDAY NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY. THERE COULD BE SOME BRIEF DRYING ON
THURSDAY FROM THE WEST...WITH A POSSIBLE STRONGER SYSTEM FOR NEXT
WEEKEND.
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE AROUND NORMAL THROUGH THE LONG TERM.

.AVIATION /17Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SCATTERED CONVECTION ONGOING ACROSS ENTIRE CWA...AND TEMPOS WILL
BE NEEDED SHOULD CELLS APPROACH ANY TAF SITE. OUTSIDE OF
CONVECTION...HAVE HAZY CONDITIONS SO WILL MENTION THAT AS WELL
AREA WIDE. CONVECTION SHOULD DECREASE LATE THIS EVENING...AND WITH
MOISTURE REMAINING EXPECT FOG TO FORM AGAIN TONIGHT.
HOWEVER...WITH SOME ADDITIONAL CLOUD COVER MAY NOT BE AS
DENSE...ESPECIALLY AT WESTERN SITES LIKE HTS AND PKB. WITH THAT
SAID...ANYWHERE RAIN FALLS THIS EVENING WILL HAVE BETTER CHANCE OF FOG.
RETURN TO VFR EXPECTED AS FOG DISSIPATES 12Z-13Z...BUT CONVECTION
WILL DEVELOP AGAIN THROUGH THE MORNING WITH MVFR/IFR POSSIBLE IN
VICINITY OF CONVECTION.
