A cold front, aided by an unusually amplified mid level trough, moved through Eastern North Carolina during the peak heating of the afternoon. This combined with favorable instability and shear to produce organized clusters and lines of thunderstorms which produced damaging winds and large hail.

A severe thunderstorm produced damaging winds and large
hail along Emmett Lane and White Oak River Road, to the northwest of
Maysville in Southern Jones County, NC. The damage path started near the
intersection of these two roads, where multiple smaller branches and
leaf debris were found. One medium size hardwood tree was uprooted,
along with a larger section of a pecan tree that was broken at the base.
A few pieces of vinyl siding received minor damaged due to wind, with
many others showing more extensive damage due to large hail. A witness
to the storm said the hail was slightly larger than quarter size. A
large section of a metal roof was blown and peeled off, along with some
shingles on an adjacent property on an outbuilding. The metal roof was
of poor construction so the uprooted trees were used as the estimate of
wind. The wind estimated is toward the lower bound of what is to be
expected due to our recent very wet soil conditions and little visible
damage to other more well-constructed buildings in the area. The
uprooted trees were pointed toward 140 degrees or toward the southeast.
With the damage path toward the same direction and in a divergent
pattern, this was likely caused by a microburst. The damage path
continued across White Oak River road before ending in a farm field. Peak winds were estimated to be between 75 and 80 MPH, with a path length of .40 miles and a path width of 400 yards.  A

A severe thunderstorm produced damaging winds and large
hail along North Carolina Highway 58 southwest of Pollocksville in
Jones County, NC. The damage path started along Highway 58 at a farm,
where multiple smaller branches and leaf debris were found. Small metal
panels of a roof on a farm outbuilding were blown over 100 yards into an
adjacent field. Extensive crop damage occurred to a soybean field due
to large hail stripping 99% of the leaves off. Hail was reported at this
location as large as the size of a quarter, an hour after the storm
passed. The path continued across along Highway 58 into Pollocksville.
Multiple fields of near mature corn were blown down and heavily shredded
due to the wind and large hail, near Goshen Lane and Highway 58 across
from the solar farm. Leaf debris and small branches were down along
Goshen Lane and highway 58 right into Pollocksville. The roof panel was
pointed toward 140 degrees or toward the southeast. With the damage path
toward the same direction and in a divergent pattern, this was likely
caused by a microburst. Winds were estimated to be a bit lower in this
area due to the lack of damage to hardwood trees (none uprooted) and no
visual damage to well-constructed buildings. A special thanks to Jones
County EMA for helping us complete this survey along with the residents
who provided eyewitness accounts of the storm.

A severe thunderstorm produced damaging winds and large
hail along Lees Chapel Road, to the southwest of Pollocksville in Jones
County, NC. The damage path started along Lees Chapel Road where
multiple smaller branches and leaf debris were found. Near the
intersection of Lees Chapel Road and Riggstown Road, a large healthy
hardwood tree was uprooted. No other damage to adjacent buildings was
found in this area. The uprooted tree was pointed toward 140 degrees or
toward the southeast. With the damage path toward the same direction and
in a divergent pattern, this was likely caused by a microburst. The
damage path continued ended along Lees Chapel Road.  Peak winds were estimated to be between 75 and 80 MPH with a path length of .92 miles and a path width of 400 yards.  A special thanks to
