| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A low pressure system moved from West Virginia to Pennsylvania on the evening of the 3rd. This system produced sustained winds of 25 to 40 MPH from the afternoon of the 3rd through the morning of the 4th. A cold front associated with the system moved through during the early evening and produced a line of thunderstorms that brought heavy rain, small hail, and wind gusts in excess of 55 mph to the Eastern Panhandle. In Berkeley County, lightning struck the 911 Central Dispatch communication tower in Martinsburg, resulting in a service disruption. A lightning strike also ruptured a gas line and exposed electrical wires at a home east of Martinsburg. Power lines were downed on U.S. Highway 11 South near Tabler Station Road, and 1,200 customers lost power as a result. A wind gust of 59 MPH was recorded in Falling Waters. Jefferson County reported downed power lines and the chimney of a home blown over on South Childs Road. After the cold front passed, temperatures dropped rapidly and rain turned to snow. Pendleton and Jefferson County reported 2 inches of accumulation, Grant County reported 15 inches in the highest elevations to only 1 inch near the Hardy County border, Hardy County reported 1 to 3 inches, Mineral and Morgan County reported 5 inches, and Hampshire County reported 1 inch. The combination of winds and snowfall made travel difficult during the early morning of the 4th. |
