Two trees were reported down near Old Davis Road and Gaddys Ferry Road.
Shortwave energy associated with the exiting closed core upper low over the northern Mid Atlantic states pinwheeled and spurred convection along a thermal moisture boundary that extended southward near United States Highway 64. The convection moved east and intensified as they encountered the better shear and instability. Isolated wind damage occurred from one of the storms across Nash County.
