During the afternoon, most temps in the clouded over areas from WV & VA
north & east were in the 50s, whiles west of the mountains, it was
between the mid 70s into the 80s.
In WV, warm temps included a high of 89 in Charleston, & 82 in Elkins
(usually a winter time cold spot in the Eastern US).
In PA, it was 52 in Johnstown & 75 in Latrobe Wed afternoon. Only 20
miles & 2 mountain ranges separate the stations!
Wednesday's storm on satellite was a marvel to behold. Of course it came
with a price.
