A warm and moist atmosphere coupled with an lee side trough caused scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop across central North Carolina. As a MCS induced shortwave moved into the region from the west during the late afternoon and evening, some of the storms became severe and produced numerous reports of damaging winds and one report of hail.
