Precipitable water values near 2 inches, high temperatures in the 90s and an upper-level wave moving across the area helped to develop widespread showers and thunderstorms across central North Carolina. Colliding outflow boundaries continued storm development throughout the afternoon and evening hours. MLCAPE of 1500-3000 J/kg and low shear created pulse-type, slow moving storms. This resulted in multiple reports of wind damage.
