A strong cold front arrived into central North Carolina during the late morning and afternoon. High temperatures reached 80 to 90 degrees at most locations. The cold front was associated with a large upper-level trough that was approaching the Mid-Atlantic states from the upper Midwest. The cold front pushed cool and stable air south and undercut the warm and humid air aloft, helping generate scattered thunderstorms. A few of these storms produced some wind damage and large hail. The severity of the storms diminished after sunset.
