A strong upper-level trough tracked eastward across North Carolina from the Gulf Coast states and brought heavy rain and severe weather. A warm front produced heavy rain and flash flooding along with the first round of severe weather during the early to mid afternoon. An assoiciated cold front and surface wave moved across the area during the mid to late afternoon and evening. This is when a line of strong to severe thunderstorms raced across the area, producing widespread damaging wind gusts. There were many reports of downed trees and power lines. A bow echo produced 80 to 100 mph straight line winds near Enfield and near Bunn, which snapped and uprooted trees and resulted in minor to moderate damage to numerous structures. In addition, two EF1 tornadoes were confirmed, one in Randolph County and one in Stanly County.
