A wavy frontal boundary sagged slowly south through Eastern North Carolina during the afternoon hours. Scattered to numerous severe thunderstorms developed along and ahead of the front, and moved southeast across much of the region, eventually making it all the way to the coast. The magnitude of severe weather with this event made it particularly unique, producing rare hail up to 2 in diameter and wind gusts in excess of 70 mph. Additionally, large hail was observed all the way to the coast. Some instances of flash flooding were reported as well due to the very heavy rainfall rates.
