An initial round of convection developed in the wake of a northwestward propagating warm front as the atmosphere became increasingly moist and unstable during the afternoon. There was a brief lull in convective activity during the evening hours. Large scale forcing for ascent increased over central North Carolina through the overnight hours, downstream of a slightly positively tilted synoptic trough. An approaching quasi-linear convective system moved through the area overnight, producing widespread wind damage, isolated flash flooding and a weak tornado.
