Central North Carolina was on the southern periphery of an increasingly sheared shortwave as it progressed eastward into New England and the Northeast United States. The attendant weak front crossed the area late in the afternoon and evening, with just enough CAPE/Shear to allow for loosely organized multi-cellular thunderstorms. Several of the storms produced severe wind gusts and large hail.
