The episode as NWS RLX wrote it up.
Convection formed during Labor Day afternoon. The air was warm and humid. A cold front was located over central Ohio. The prefrontal convection was in several small clusters, not a solid line.
One batch of storms and showers became oriented west to east along the flow during the evening hours over Taylor County. The cooperative observer at the Tygart Lake Dam reported 1.42 inches of rain, most of which fell in an hour between 1900 and 2000E. An automatic gauge near Grafton had 1.38 inches of rain in 30 minutes. In an hour, 1.5 inches of rain was measured at that same gauge. Higher amounts of 1.5 to 1.75 inches were estimated from dual-pol radar west of Tygart Lake in the Grafton and Prunytown areas. Minor flooding occurred around Grafton and Prunytown.

NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 2, 6:44 PM EST, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV 744 PM EDT MON SEP 2 2013 .SYNOPSIS... COLD FRONT CROSSES TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY. COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS TAKES CONTROL FOR THE SHORT WORK WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE HANGS ON INTO NEXT WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... WAS A BIT FASTER LOWERING POPS AND REMOVING THUNDER. BUT HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. LEFT THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS UNTIL THE FRONT ITSELF PASSES. AT 23Z FRONT PASSING ZZV BUT STILL WEST OF ATHENS. FIGURING THE FRONT NEAR CRW AROUND 06Z TO 07Z. HAD A SMALL CLUSTER OF SHOWERS/STORMS ANCHOR OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF BUCHANAN COUNTY VIRGINIA PROMPTING US TO POST A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IN THAT STEEP TERRAIN. ALSO HAD ONE STORM PULSE UP IN NORTHERN PUTNAM COUNTY EAST OF BUFFALO TO PROMPT A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING. NO REPORTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AT THIS WRITING. HARD TO FIGURE THE PREDAWN HOURS...IN TERMS OF CLOUD HEIGHTS VERSUS GROUND FOG. WENT A BIT MORE TOWARD LOW STRATUS AND NOT AS WIDESPREAD OF THE GROUND BASED FOG. THE LOW LEVEL FLOW MAY INCREASE BY PREDAWN. CAN SEE THE SCENARIO IN WHICH FOG TRIES TO FORM IN WAKE OF FRONT BUT THEN BECOMES MORE LOWER CLOUDS BY 12Z TUESDAY. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE LOWERING DEW POINTS ON TUESDAY. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... NICE WEATHER FOR THE MOST PART IN THE SHORT-TERM PERIOD. AREA REMAINS UNDER GENERAL NW FLOW ALOFT AS ELONGATED SFC HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES IN...CENTERED ROUGHLY OVER MID-OHIO RIVER VALLEY. SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY SUNNY FOR ALL WITH TEMPS IN THE UPPER 70S/NEAR 80 FOR THE LOWLANDS...WITH LIGHT WINDS. PREVIOUS FCST HAD GOOD HANDLE ON EXPECTED TEMPS WITH JUST A TWEAK HERE AND THERE PER LATEST GUIDANCE. WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL CONTINUE TRANQUIL...WITH MINS DOWN INTO THE MID/UPPER 50S LOWLANDS. WITH A MOSTLY CLEAR SKY AND LIGHT WINDS...EXPECT THE USUAL RIVER VALLEY FOG LATE OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY THU MORNING. THURSDAY...OVERALL IT SHOULD BE A RELATIVELY NICE DAY AGAIN. HOWEVER...THINGS NOT QUITE SO CLEAR WITH REGARD TO THE FORECAST REMAINING COMPLETELY DRY. LATEST GUIDANCE DIFFERING WITH THE HANDLING OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT TO THE NORTHWEST. CONSENSUS OF GUIDANCE DRAGS THE FRONT ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY WITH ONLY SOME CLOUDS. LATEST NAM12 HOWEVER DEPICTS A BIT MORE MOISTURE DEPTH BETWEEN AROUND 750MB AND 925MB WITH PWATS BACK UP AROUND 1.25+. ALSO WITH THE NAM COMES FAIRLY DECENT SFC CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT AS IT PUSHES SOUTHWARD AND DECENT MOISTURE TRANSPORT OUT AHEAD OF IT...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE NORTH/NE ZONES. BIG QUESTION IT APPEARS IS THE SUBSIDENCE INVERSION PROGGED TO BE IN PLACE OVER THE AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON. GFS IS MUCH MORE BULLISH ON THE STABLE LAYER ABOVE 750MB WHICH WOULD EFFECTIVELY KILL ANY PRECIP CHANCES. LATEST NAM NOT QUITE AS IMPRESSIVE WITH THIS STABLE LAYER. CAN/T REALLY GET A FEEL FOR ANY TRENDS HOWEVER AT AND BEYOND 18Z THU WITH REGARD TO THE NAM AS THAT TIME FRAME IS JUST COMING INTO THE PICTURE OPERATIONALLY. ELECTED TO GO AHEAD AND KEEP THE FORECAST DRY FOR NOW AND ALLOW THE NEXT SHIFT TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. INHERITED MAX TEMPS JUST A FEW DEGREES WARMER INTO THE LOWER 80S LOWLANDS ON TRACK. THURSDAY NIGHT HIGH PRESSURE REBUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH WITH GRADUALLY CLEARING SKIES BY LATE THU NIGHT/EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. MIN TEMPS AGAIN IN THE MID/UPPER 50S STILL LOOK GOOD. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... A CONTINUED QUIET EXTENDED PERIOD IS EXPECTED FOR THE AREA WITH A NICE WEEKEND IN STORE. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE RECENTLY...THE AREA REMAINS UNDER A GENERAL NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DURING THE PERIOD WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS FROM NW TO SE SIMULTANEOUSLY. MAX TEMPS ON FRIDAY IN THE UPPER 70S/NEAR 80 LOWLANDS WILL SLOWLY WARM TOWARDS THE MID 80S BY SUNDAY AND MONDAY. EXTENDED NWP OUTPUT BEGINS TO DIVERGE A BIT WITH RESPECT TO HANDLING THE UPPER HIGH ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST BY SUNDAY...WITH THE EC KEEPING IT WEST WHILE THE OP GFS TRIED TO EXPAND IT FURTHER EAST TOWARDS THE MID-MISS VALLEY. GEFS MEAN/MEMBERS SUPPORT THE FURTHER-WEST SOLUTION AND THUS WILL LEAN THE SUN-MON PERIOD FORECAST IN THIS DIRECTION. AS SUCH...STILL APPEARS A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE NORTHERN ZONES BY SUNDAY AND WITH A FAIRLY DECENT AMOUNT OF LLVL MOISTURE AT BOTH 700MB AND 850MB ACROSS THE NORTH...WENT AHEAD AND INSERTED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR ROUGHLY THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON. && .AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... WE KNOW IT ENDS WELL...BETWEEN 18Z TUESDAY TO 00Z WEDNESDAY AS THE 2 TO 4 THSD FT CU AND STRATOCUMULUS WILL BE LIFTING AND THINNING AS SURFACE DEW POINTS LOWER AND VSBY UNRESTRICTED. HOWEVER...IT IS THE TRANSITION IN WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT THAT IS HARD TO FIGURE FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO 12Z TUESDAY. THE PREFRONTAL CONVECTION WILL MOVE THROUGH THE WEST VIRGINIA AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA OVERNIGHT WITH A LINGERING LIGHT SHOWER STILL POSSIBLE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AT 12Z. HARD TO DETERMINE IF LOW STRATUS WILL BECOME DOMINANT RATHER THAN SURFACE BASED FOG IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. WAS LEANING MORE TOWARD THE STRATUS AND A BIT LESS ON THE COVERAGE OF SURFACE BASED FOG OVERNIGHT. THERE EVEN COULD BE FOG AND SCUD IN WAKE OF THE FRONTAL SHOWERS...THEN TRY TO IMPROVE BEFORE DAWN AND 12Z...AS LOW LEVEL FLOW INCREASES FROM THE NORTHWEST. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE: LOW. ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...THE COVERAGE OF LOW STATUS CLOUDS VERSUS SURFACE BASED FOG WILL LIKELY VARY FROM THE DETERMINISTIC TAFS.
