What happened

The episode as NWS RLX wrote it up.

After a morning cluster of showers and thunderstorms, convection redeveloped during the early afternoon in central Ohio. This was on the western flank of the morning convection. The storms and showers moved into West Virginia during the late afternoon and evening. This was south of a cold front that was creeping south from northern Ohio.

The strongest cells produced localized downpours and hail. Hail as large as golf balls fell in Ritchie County. Some of the storm clusters were elongated along the east to west flow, prolonging the downpours. One to 2 inches of rain were common in those bands. Minor flash flooding occurred in northern Wood County. However, the heaviest rain was in Nicholas County. An automatic guage near Muddlety measured 2.4 inches of rain.

What forecasters said that day

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
235 PM EDT TUE APR 26 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD FRONT SINKS SOUTH INTO AREA THIS EVENING. WARM/UNSTABLE AIR
IN ADVANCE. FRONT WAFFLES BACK/FORTH IN OUR VICINITY THROUGH
FRIDAY...PROVIDING FOR ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 1840Z...DECIDED TO GO WITH FLASH FLOOD WATCH OVER OUR WETTEST
COUNTIES FROM THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS...IN CASE THE SAME SMALL BASIN
GET MORE THAN 1 HEAVIER CELL.

THE FFA IS CURRENT NOW...AND LINGERS INTO THIS EVENING. SOUTHERN COUNTIES
MAY SEE JUST AS MUCH RAIN LATER...BUT MUCH DRIER SOILS OVER SOUTHERN
COUNTIES.

REST OF DISCISSION FROM 1830Z...
AS OF 1830Z...CONTINUES TO BE AN EVOLVING PATTERN TO SAY THE
LEAST...BUT SO FAR...UNFOLDING ABOUT ON SCHEDULE...FROM OUR
MORNING DISCUSSION.

NEW DEVELOPMENT IS FORMING IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN OHIO...IN THE
MOST UNSTABLE AIR MASS WITH HIGHER DEW POINTS.  QUESTION IS HOW...
QUICKLY IT SINKS SOUTH...SINCE STEERING FLOW STUBBORN TO VEER TO NW.
I MAY BE TOO FAST INCREASING POPS OVER SOUTHERN WV S OF CRW.

WILL MONITOR COVERAGE OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR SO...FOR POSSIBLE SHORT
FUSE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR OUR WETTEST CORRIDOR IN THE PKB TO CKB
VCNTY. OF COURSE...SEVERE POSSIBLE TOO...CONSIDERING EQUILIBRIUM
LEVEL 30 TO 35 THSD...WITH FREEZING LEVEL AROUND 11K TO 11.5 K. EXPECT
CELL MOVEMENT SHOULD BE AROUND 30 TO 35 KNOTS.

ALSO...THINKING SEPARATE AREAS OF CONVECTION DEVELOP FURTHER NORTH
LATER THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE FRONT ITSELF.  SO OVERALL...SEVERAL
CLUSTERS.

CONTINUE TO INCLUDED MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN...WHEN POPS ARE THE
HIGHEST THIS AFTERNOON AND MUCH OF THIS EVENING.

BASING OUR FORECAST ON FRONT REACHING NEAR PKB TO CKB AROUND 03Z
WEDNESDAY...AND REACHING EKN TO CRW TO HTS AROUND 09Z WEDNESDAY...
THEN STARTING TO RUN OUT OF GAS.  HAVE DRIZZLE IN THE LOW CLOUDS
NORTH OF THE FRONT LATE NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY.

WAS DRIER IN THE NORTH ON WEDNESDAY...FIGURING DEEPER MOISTURE DOES
NOT RETURN UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
STILL SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS ON EXACT TIMING FOR
PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. OVERALL PATTERN WILL BE
A SURFACE LOW SLIDING ACROSS THE MIDWEST ON A NEARLY STATIONARY
BOUNDARY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...AS THE LOW IA/IL...THE
BOUNDARY SHOULD GRADUALLY LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE CWA AS A WARM FRONT.
THE GFS AND NAM SHOW A RELATIVE MINIMUM FOR POP/QPF OVER THE
FORECAST AREA...SO KEPT CHANCE POPS GOING UNTIL THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
THE SURFACE LOW LOOKS TO MAKE IT TO ABOUT THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY
THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE LIFTING INTO PA AS A WEAKENING UPPER LOW
CROSSES THE GREAT LAKES. HAVE POPS DRYING OUT FROM SW TO NE THROUGH
THE DAY FRIDAY AS THE SURFACE LOW HEADS NE. USED A BLEND OF BIAS-
CORRECTED GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS...ENDING UP A TOUCH WARMER ON THURSDAY.
MINIMAL CHANGES MADE TO GOING LOWS USING A CONSENSUS BLEND.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND STARTING OUT DRY
FRIDAY NIGHT BEFORE A WARM FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION ON
SATURDAY. MODELS DIFFER ON TIMING AND POSITION OF THIS NEXT
SYSTEM. WITH THAT IN MIND, WENT WITH A BLEND OF THE MODELS FOR
TIMING OF PRECIP. INTRODUCED POPS FOR SATURDAY FROM SW TO NE WITH
THE WARM FRONT. THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF THE CWA ON SUNDAY
WITH THE SFC LOW MOVING THROUGH THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST DURING
THE DAY ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THE LOW FINALLY EXITS TO THE EAST ON
MONDAY NIGHT. SEASONAL TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN THROUGHOUT THE
FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CONVECTION EXPECTED TO INCREASE 18Z TO 21Z WITH MOST UNSTABLE AIR IN
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN OHIO.  QUESTIONS ARE HOW QUICKLY CONVECTION
SINKS SOUTH...SINCE STEERING FLOW DOES NOT VEER MUCH.

WILL HIGHLIGHT MOSTLY NORTH OF HTS TO CRW THROUGH 21Z WITH
CONVECTION...THEN TRY TO SINK FURTHER SOUTH 21Z TUESDAY TO 00Z
WEDNESDAY.  OF COURSE...CONDITIONS HIGHLY VARIABLE IN THE
CONVECTION...AND HARD TO REFLECT IN TAFS.

BASING OUR FORECAST ON FRONT REACHING NEAR PKB TO CKB AROUND 03Z
WEDNESDAY...AND REACHING EKN TO CRW TO HTS AROUND 09Z
WEDNESDAY...THEN STARTING TO RUN OUT OF GAS.  HAVE DRIZZLE IN THE
LOW CLOUDS NORTH OF THE FRONT LATE NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY.

THINKING THE FRONT WILL NOT REACH BKW...AND CRW QUESTIONABLE.  SO
LOWER CLOUDS MORE IN QUESTION...THE FURTHER SOUTH.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: CONVECTION MAY BE SLOWER MOVING SOUTH LATE
THIS AFTERNOON THAN FORECAST.
