A near stationary cold front lied near the Virginia/North Carolina border as did a broad upper trough across the eastern Great Lakes.  Numerous embedded disturbances were evident within the base of the upper trough.  These disturbances continued to impinge on a moist, unstable air mass and produce scattered to numerous afternoon and evening thunderstorms.  With the front being located slightly south of its position the previous day, the strong to severe thunderstorms this day were also located a little further south, mainly across northwest and north central North Carolina as opposed to south central Virginia the previous day.  Severe thunderstorms from Watauga to Stokes during the evening blew down a number of trees.
