Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeHeavy rainfall developed across portions of the southern Appalachian mountains as clearing ahead of a slow-moving surface low over the Cumberland Gap allowed instabilities to rise into the 2000 J/Kg range along with good upper divergence. Developing storms and cell mergers produced rainfall rates of 1.5���/hr with totals up to 3-4��� in isolated storms. A Flash Flood Warning was issued for Mercer County at 737 PM EDT where radar had showed 1 to 2 inches of rain had fallen with more expected. Total rainfall amounts reached 2.5 to 3 inches in a 3-hour period ending around 02z (10 PM on the 5th) over parts of western Mercer County which produced substantial flash flooding and debris flows in several locations. An IFLOWS rain gage at Bramwell, WV recorded 3.47��� in a 3-hour period. This amount/duration was right around the 200-year annual recurrence interval (ARI) per NOAA Atlas 14.
