A weak MCS moved out of upstate South Carolina and into the foothills and piedmont of western North Carolina during the evening hours. Steep low level lapse rates resulted in a high downdraft CAPE (DCAPE) environment. This resulted in a gust front that produced scattered wind damage even after the storm largely dissipated.
