Flash Flooding and Hail in West Virginia, June 22 to 23, 2022

Name: Flash Flooding and Hail in West Virginia, June 22 to 23, 2022
Start: 2022-06-22T16:31
End: 2022-06-23T05:00
Location: West Virginia

June 22 to 23, 2022 · NWS RLX · 27 events in 12 counties and zones

On the afternoon of June 22nd, a cold front made eastward progress into the Middle Ohio Valley, which served as the main contributor behind strong to severe thunderstorms in West Virginia. Optimal moisture levels and warm temperatures ahead of the front helped to promote these storms by the early afternoon on the 22nd, which spanned into the evening time frame as well.

Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.

What happened

The episode as NWS RLX wrote it up.

While an instance of quarter sized hail was observed in Nicholas County, the bulk of the strong to severe storms resulted in damaging wind gusts that knocked down trees in several areas across the state. Heavier downpours also caused high water to be observed along local roadwyas in Nicholas and Barbour Counties.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 22, 1:46 PM EST, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 1:46 PM EST, 2 hours 45 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
246 PM EDT Wed Jun 22 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and potentially strong thunderstorms continue into
tonight ahead of a cold front. Mostly dry and warm for the
weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 230 PM Wednesday...

A shortwave trough migrating into the Great Lakes accompanied
by a surface cold front will be the primary feature of focus
through the course of the forecast period. Puffy afternoon cu
field at the time of writing will begin to transform as diurnal
heating erodes away at remnant convective inhibition in place.
Vertical development of the afternoon cu will tap into mixed
layer CAPE values on the upwards of 2500 J/kg to spark strong to
possibly severe thunderstorms, especially across the northeast
portions of the forecast area. Shear values will be more
utilized east of the Appalachians, so organization of storms
will be more isolated in nature in our neck of the woods.
Primary hazards that will be monitored with convection this
afternoon will be damaging winds, large hail, and localized
water issues from heavy downpours. Opted to not extend the
higher potential of POPs along the western flank of the line
based on timing and latest analysis of higher resolution models.

Lingering showers will hug the mountains after midnight into
Thursday morning, while the remainder of the area begins to feel
the influence of surface high pressure and the eastern extent
of ridging aloft. Dry weather then triumphs for the concluding
hours of the period.

Hot and muggy conditions currently reside over the Central
Appalachians with most reporting sites observing temperatures
stretching into the low 90s and dew points slowly rising into
the upper 60s/low 70s. Heat index values have crossed into the
triple digits across areas along the Ohio River Valley, which
warranted the Heat Advisory in effect until this evening. Lack
of a cold airmass dropping down in the wake of the cold front
will maintain warm temperatures on Thursday, but knocked down
closer to the climatological norm for this time of year in
comparison to today.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 240 PM Wednesday...

High pressure sliding over or just north of the area will help
to keep the region dry in this period with partly to mostly
sunny skies and winds on the light side. Temps may warm slightly
from Thursday, but still expecting mountain highs in the 70s
and lower elevation highs in the 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 240 PM Wednesday...

As the high pressure area slides off the Mid-Atlantic coast,
low level winds will shift and bring increasing moisture back to
the area on Saturday. As a result, we may be able to fire off a
few showers or thunderstorms Saturday afternoon or evening,
with the best chances in the southern part of the CWA, and
perhaps up the higher terrain on the eastern border. However, a
much more coherent area of precipitation is expected Sunday
afternoon into Sunday night as a cold front approaches from the
northwest and passes through the area. We'll have to assess the
severe potential as it gets closer, but as of now, while
instability may be decent ahead of the front, shear may be
minimal. Behind the front, we can expect clear skies with cooler
and much more comfortable weather. Highs Monday and Tuesday are
forecast for the upper 70s to lower 80s at lower elevations,
with dewpoints down into the 50s, and perhaps even upper 40s in
some spots. A wind shift and increasing heights may allow for
temps to start rising again on Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 145 PM Wednesday...

Afternoon cumulus field has begun to sprout with cloud bases
upstream positioned between 40-50 kft AGL. Will continue to see
this FEW-SCT deck spread through all terminals in the next hour
or so, followed by isolated to scattered thunderstorms along a
cold front by late this afternoon into this evening. Brief
restrictions can be expected with a storm that passes over a
site, so opted for TEMPO groups across the board to highlight
that in addition to a rise in wind gusts.

The cold front passes through tonight into the overnight hours
and high pressure will build into its wake. River valley fog and
low stratus develops Thursday morning along the higher terrain,
which may attempt to sneak into EKN before sunrise. Dry weather
and VFR conditions then rule the roost for the conclusion of
the current TAF period.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium to High.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Onset timing and intensity of thunderstorms
may vary from forecast. AMDs may be warranted for later this
