Three rounds of severe weather struck Central North Carolina from the morning hours through the afternoon and into the evening. Widespread reports of damaging winds and large hail occurred with a rapidly intensifying surface low and attendant cold frontal passage. A powerful 70 knot low-level jet also aided in the initial round of severe storms. Thunderstorms re-developed in the late afternoon and evening hours as an amplifying upper level shortwave trough rotated across Central North Carolina.
